    I heard that for every punch Calzaghe threw, Hopkins would throw a counter.....

    ....yet Hopkins threw nearly 250 less.

    Shocking. :yep

    Compubox stats are serious business. How the **** are they even generated tbh. Do they have a ****** with a typewriter? There's any number of fights Ive seen in which its fairly apparent the compubox numbers are total shite.

    From what I understand it's two guys slapping buttons, and you're right, they're totally inaccurate most of the time. I don't even look at compubox anymore.

    250 less ?

    More like he threw 250 throughout the whole fight.

    Compubox not 100% accurate but the fighter landing more almost always win the fight.

    They are less accurate than a Lederman score card in all honesty. Im amazed people actually base their arguements on them.

    Compubox didn't tell even a 1/10th of the story last night.

    Besides, those numbers were so far off it wasn't funny.

    I remember one round it said Joe landed like 24 punches, and there was no way in hell he did.
