Compubox Claims "Margin of Error" Within 2%

It wasn't even half. They had him landing 208 I believe. Anyways, 2% is impossible to know unless they go back and watch the tapes which Im sure they don't care to do since there is no other "compubox" to compete with. It was more like 232 i think Its like Psychics saying they are right 90% of the time, made up BS stat

I think slow paced fights they are closer to being right but faced paced fights with a quick puncher who throws a lot, they can be really wrong Calzaghe landed probably not even half of what compubox said he did against Hopkins Yeah, I'm sure this is probably the case. I really wish they would review the tape of the fight afterward, and recount. Could even get a count on particular punches.

Yeah, I know they're wrong sometimes. What they're saying is, over the "big picture" they are within 2%.

I really wish there was a compubox or whatever, for Froch vs Dirrell. 100% accurate or 98% accurate, still would have shown us the landslide in punches landed in favor of Dirrell. I know Showtime uses some punch stats now, but they didn't have that at the time of the Super 6 unfortunately.

There is something called "quality of shots" that many now seem to ignore. Boom. Exactly what I'm thinking. There's a "punch value" out there floating around, and it's getting no love whatsoever.

I doubt they are that accurate, although some fights are easier to count than others. My question is many networks (and Fans) almost seem to depend on them though and actually tend to score rounds based on the data they receive from them. There is something called "quality of shots" that many now seem to ignore.

Does Boxingscene uses it's own punch counter or do they just report Compubox's stats? Some times I have seen BS have different #'s than CB in some categories and some rounds, but they're both pretty much spot on, not enough difference to even argue about it. If i'm incorrect and BS does use CB's #'s then what I saw was probably just a bunch of typos. They use the Compubox numbers. On the Compubox website, they have a list of who all uses their numbers. Boxingscene is on that list. Also says that they (Compubox) are hired by trainers/managers/promoters to evaluate fighters.

One just has to watch Hopkins-Calzaghe and Mathebula-Donaire to see how wrong they are sometimes Yeah, I know they're wrong sometimes. What they're saying is, over the "big picture" they are within 2%.

I don't have the patience to go through one fight to count for myself, let alone multiple fights in order to get a reasonable sample.

Not even close.
