    Do you idiots realise compubox is just 2 idiots tapping away at a button when they think a punch lands? :patsch

    It's BS

    Yep, you are relying on 2 button pressers to judge the fight for you.

  4. But you’re not relying on volume grub either.

    Yep, people take them a bit too literally. I mean they're a nice indication, nothing more. i.e. last night round 7, Matthyse landed 22 to 2 in round 7 according to Compubox, which looked about right and was an indication of how dominant Matthyse was. Although clearly you didn't actually need numbers to realize this. They're not a substitute for scoring the fight according to the correct criteria.
     
  6. 9/10 if a fighter takes 2 of the 3 connect stats he usually wins the fight.
     
  7. The exception in Hopkins/Calzaghe.

    round by round is how fights are scored, overall statistics can be very misleading

    well its more then two idiots, and the punches are only registered when a few of them click at the same time, like the amateur system

    Oh its like the amateur system! Wonderful. We've never had a bad decision in the amateurs.
     
  11. No it’s just 2 guys thrown and landed.

    Even if it were true thats not really a plus point for the system mate.
     
  13. It’s one guy for thrown (which can never be wrong).

    And one for landed.
     
  14. Compubox has 2 buttons for the connect guy (jab and non jab).
