HBO patents boxing glove sensor tech that measures the power of punches

All I want is a hit or miss electronic scoring like in Fencing (because in boxing if a punch is powerful it doesn't mean it will land where it's supposed to, to count it in the stats) http://web.mit.edu/2.744/www/Results/studentSubmissions/humanUseAnalysis/jrafidi/image/Fencing%20scoring%20machine.jpg http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01958/Fencing_2__1958683b.jpg So that we won't have to deal with the OBSOLETE compubox technology. Remember that it's just 2 dudes pushing a few buttons!!!!!! Difficult to score like this in real time. And how can you be so sure that they're doing their job? What makes you think that they cannot be corrupt? http://www.interaksyon.com/infotech/assets/2012/06/compubox_2012.jpg How to implement the electronic scoring in boxing? I don't know. Engineers should work on that. Maybe with wireless sensors on the skin (other than in the gloves of course) that would work even with sweat. There will be people who will say "it's too much" / "then it won't be boxing anymore". I know it.

Hope HBO can patent a chin strength measuring device! The used Khan as a beta tester and the hardware failed. Turns out it wasn't designed to handle values below 0.

Showtime b trippin'

And you have a better idea? Let's have it! This could be very interesting once it's combined with Compubox punch stats. They could give us total punches per round, hardest punch per round, hardest and fastest punch per fight. It could show which fighters really have an iron chin and can take the hardest punches. IF it proves to be accurate, and the data made available in real time, I could see this being used by ring doctors or a fighter's corner one day to help judge when a fighter has absorbed too much punishment and to determine when to stop a fight. smh...these guys think we have ****ing quantum technology to process as many physics variables as there are in sports...is it good to have? sure if you're just perfecting it and hopefully one day in 50 years you can get some reliable data from the many iterations it would take to have an acceptable model...but to just put it out knowing it's wildly innacurate to have a propaganda tool available? no thanks....we already have useless punch stats for that.....or let me guess, you score rounds on compubox thinking it's a super accurate computer and not two guys(with no better eyesight than incompetent judges) clicking buttons...... :lol1:

this pretty much watch when all fights start having this, dumb fans will start using to prove how much more damage x fighter did then that fighter thats why the punch count dont count (which they dont PERIOD not a socring criteria) it will just muddy up the damn sport more. I rather their be no punch stats, or at least dont air them on live tv. jesus soto karass punches harder than a heavyweight doe :lol1: that's the way this kind of technology recorded it in bkb :lol1:

just another useless propaganda tool like compubox. And you have a better idea? Let's have it! This could be very interesting once it's combined with Compubox punch stats.

Dont be silly. He'll register -5 out of 10 :lol1: :lol1:

Paulie would register a .1 out of 10. Dont be silly. He'll register -5 out of 10

Paulie would register a .1 out of 10.

Awesome. Now let the judges watch replays of rounds th way viewerrs watch it, so they can see a combination that they were initially impressed by in real time, actually didn't land not one clean punch. Or maybe a lowblow that was counted as a punch, or a slip that was counted as a KD, or a KD that was counted as a slip.

I hope they have this in time for Andre Ward on the Canelo/Cotto undercard.

bkb or whatever its called uses this. cant wait for the patent to run its course so all can use it be super interesting

better alternative than punch stats. People are quick to post punch stats but the numbers don't tell us how much power those punches were delivered with or how much effect they had.

Interesting. Didn't BKB have something like this?

HBO patents boxing glove sensor tech that measures the power of punches. http://venturebeat.com/2015/09/23/hbo-patents-boxing-glove-sensor-tech-that-measures-the-power-of-punches/ HBO has been awarded a patent for a sensor technology that measures and transmits the force at which a boxing glove hits someone’s face. The patent describes a system where accelerometer and gyroscope sensors are embedded in the front of a boxing glove. A database containing motion profiles of various kinds of punches recognizes and identifies data from the sensors. The sensors can also track the starting time of a punch and the speed of a punch, among other things. The idea is to be able to include punch force and other stats within the real time stats of a fight broadcast, in the same way that pitch speed is given during baseball broadcasts. Hope HBO can patent a chin strength measuring device!

Yeah I hope they use it for Golovkin Lemiux, that'll be cool.

I hope it's better than the PBC technology was. It looks like the PBC already abandoned theirs. It'd be nice if they debuted it for the Golovkin/Lemieux card.
