    It can be a useful tool to a point but should not be relied upon. It can be used to illustrate the obvious, like the fight last weekend, but at other times can be misleading

    The problem is that it's subject to so much human error and bias. It;s not like football and basketball, where the raw stats contain absolutely no subjectivity. If a guy hits a 3 pt shot, it's a 3 point shot. No one can dispute that. Same thing for a TD run. The problem with boxing is that you can't always tell if a punch lands, and fighters like Floyd and Manny get credit for punches they don't land...and don't get credit for punches landed against them. It's utterly worthless.

    Compubox is a nice tool.

    They should however post numbers once for the live fight and then formal numbers after they have had a week to slow the fight down and actually tally every shot.

    Like everything though, it isn't about it being "right" it is about the economic agenda of the powers that be.

    Pac/Bradley ? You don't need compubox. Even Steven Wonder scored it 120-108 for Pacquiao by just hearing Pacquiao's power punches.
