    So, wiche roberry do you want to ustify with this? There not accurate, true. I close rounds relying on it to make the differenceis a mistake. But that does not make them opinions, thats just ******ed

    Almost every fight I watch the numbers seem way off. I'd say the only exceptions are rounds where there are very few shots thrown.

    And of course it is an opinion, someone is sitting ringside making an opinion (or guess) on whether a shot has landed.

    Are you putting yourself forward as the alternative?! Corbynbox...

    Floyd land's: 'I just came, give him two for that'...

    Opponent land's: 'that missed, it hit his glove, way off, deduct two'..

    The good thing is, the Compubox stats do not effect the outcome of the fight!

    I didn't think McGregor embarassed Floyd. I thought, "Well, that's what a once elite 40 year old fighting an inexperienced 29 year old looks like." I also thought, "Floyd Mayweather is offensively limited."

    Pretending there is no merit at all to compubox is as foolish as taking its stats for gospel.

    Compubox is just a basic tool that's fun for a lot of fans to look at, but not to be taken seriously when it comes to scoring fights. It's people at ringside trying to keep track of extremely fast and skilled professional boxers who can slip, block, partially block, or roll with punches at the last split second.

    Fighters who have what's considered average hand speed, watch them up close at ringside and they look extremely fast.

    Compubox stats are not accurate... They are an opinion not facts.

    One could equally argue that judges scoring is not accurate... They are an opinion not facts.

    I agree that compubox is presented as far more factual and objective than it is, but quantifying results is always highly desirable and is something that should be pursued.

    But yes, compubox is currently terrible.

    I find it bizarre that you think sitting there BSing with your friends and drinking is more accurate than guys sitting at ringside counting punches.

    Conor won't call out either of the two hes under contracts with ufc neither of them are draws like floyd

    -conor won three rounds maybe 4

    'best mma fighter' not even close, he has zero title defenses, and lost to nate diaz in two rounds where as it took floyd 10 in his own sport, conor isn't the best mma fighter that's another false narrative by perplexed boxing fans
