How Accurate is Compubox?

[Manny_P]

Ight yo check IT!!!!!tis brings me curiousity man. I mean they got punch numbers and shyt, but how do they count ta punches? Aint thurrr people who PUNCHES ta number in ta computer? I really dunno. And what punches do they count "AS LANDED"? I mean, you can hit ta arms, but do they count that too? I mean it DID land.

Opinions?

I think CompuBox is VERY biased. I watch fights, score a round, then the compubox numbers show the complete opposite, especially in fights like Barrera-Morales III, De La Hoya-Mosley II, etc.

Exactly.......I don't think it's very accurate too.

It's hard to observe fights and tis people (I think) that put numbers on comp don't see errrthing.

Compubox is controlled by the Bush Administration...

Making claims that compubox is biased or is innaccurate is basically saying that you hate boxing...dont question compubox and if you do go become a fan of Ice Skating because we dont need you!
