Just read in 2017 or 18 Ring article that Compubox, apparently a small co in a small town which didn’t send its 2 button pushers; ie not trained, exp’d judges mind you, to Australia for Pacquiao Horn. Why? “Too expensive” to fly there according to its admin or owner. When questioned by Michael Rosenthal, Editor of The Ring, his comment included defense about testing, watching on television versus being at ringside where they can see punches, clearer, and certainly hear them. “Tests came out the same” according to Compubox. Really? Can I please see any documented reports, videos, stats on that? I wonder if Mr. Rosenthal requested any of this? I can imagine he would’ve if he’s any kind of a journalist or editor worth his salt, no?
OK, at least actual judgment is not dependent upon this bullshit. But, what’s necessary here is to know that a human being, pressing buttons is a similar issue as a judge, checking the piece of paper. The “CompU” part in Compubox Is simple, simple, tali- ation of statistics from the same, if not even less input, then if written on a piece of paper. In fact, utilizing trained boxing people, and then recording the same information on all statistics currently available through Compubox should yield much more accurate statistics, get it? That is, unless these button pushers are some somehow trained by some form of authoritative boxing professionals to push those buttons and report as accurate as anyone else who would be trained properly for such a task. Who are their button pushers trained by? And, what % of Compubox stats depend on these Butt-Pushers in front of TV screens?
I don't think they are always right on the money but it's either put stock in that as a legit stat source or random NSB fanboys. Which one would you tend to base something off of? I mean seriously, come on now.
post and discuss
Do you even know how Compubox works?
Two guys, two keyboards. One guy for each fighter. They only use 4 keys.
Key 1: Jabs missed.
Key 2: Jabs landed.
Key 3: All other shots missed.
Key 4: All other shots landed.
The Comp in Compubox just does simple statistic algorithms based on the flawed human input.
The system is rife with human error. Conscious or unconsious is undetermined.
Originally designed for Tennis. Compubox was made in the 80's or maybe even 70's. Old tech with high margins of error.
He's a known Pacquiao and Golovkin nuthugger, his video are always edited to favour them and discredit their opponents.Yeah it's a complete joke lol. Zero objectivity.
It's not 100% accurate but you know damn well GGG won that fight.
We all knew it was impossible for GGG to get a decision against Canelo in Vegas anyway. Was surprised that one judge actually gave it to GGG. For reference look at the score cards for every big fight Canelo has had in Vegas. The draw VS Mayweather was even worse than this 10-2 card...
Me I had it a close fight. GGG did miss alot & Canelo was strong in the later rounds
I saw a video on youtube from some channel, the same one that claimed Pacquiao outlanded Mayweather and beat him. They uploaded a Canelo-GGG punch count video...they had Canelo landing 4 punches in round 11.
I literally went insane in the comments. How can you make a video with a replay slow mo of a fight and be more inaccurate then compubox in real time?
That guy was dropped on his head as a baby.
EDIT: Found video, someone linked it in another thread.
Nope, these is no way a human can accurately keep track of punches landed and thrown.
I've never once cared about CompuBox numbers. I simply ignore then.
It's a useful tool that needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. It's not a good way of judging a fight but then neither is 'my guy won because I say so and I'm a boxing genius'... so.
