Do you guys honestly care about compubox stats?

compubox is deeply flawed.

 

You can always tell when compubox numbers apply and when they don't.

 

According to these links the stats for the number of punches thrown and landed by Wlad's last two opponents (Fury and AJ) were similar.

CompuBox is trash. No where near accurate, and just two morons pushing buttons at ringside for jabs thrown, jabs landed, power punches thrown, power punches landed etc. Not close to accurate. Video analysis through the years also shows it to be highly fraudulent. In Forrest vs Mayorga II, having Mayorga land 40 power punches through four rounds, when he hadn't landed half that in any type of punch through four rounds. Hopkins vs Calzaghe, having Calzaghe land 232 times on Hopkins, when Calzaghe landed 48-50 punches total the whole fight. Mayweather vs Pacquiao, again grossly overstating the punches landed.

 

Years ago, Larry Merchant said that a look into Compubox revealed that the fighter who threw more and landed more won 95% of the time.

Just a neat stat.

 

Only when it suits my agenda

 

This is a trendy statement these days but the data looked at over years of fights doesn't really support that. It's slightly flawed in the same way that real time scoring is slightly flawed. Not every punch is tallied correctly, but the majority are. It's certainly not "deeply" flawed unless you are a perfectionist in which case you probably have issues with the entire 10 point must system of judging anyway and probably shouldn't watch a sport like boxing which is so subjective. I'd personally love to see compubox numbers adjusted post fight for even more reliable accuracy in the record books, but I guess casuals couldn't be bothered looking up the revised stats the next day.... Whatever. At any rate, it's just another tool to help analyze how a fight is going and should be treated as such. It shouldn't be treated as a flawless account of every punch no more than it should be dismissed as worthless trash.

 

Compubox is the CNN of boxing. A bunch of fake statistics used to spread propaganda to the gullibles. HBO Compubox had Golovkin outthrowing and outlanding Jacobs, which any unbiased observe knows was a bunch of bull****.

 

Compubox is for casual viewer at home

 

lol that's very honest of you

 

Not a fan myself,I like to see who's doing the most damage.

 

This is the same for most I reckon.

 

When a method of tallying punches credits a boxer with landing 464% more punches than he actually did, that is a highly flawed method.

 

Yeah there's no way that's legit
