Muhammed Ali Vs. Wladimir Klitschko Computer Matchup

[NChristo]

Bowe edges it by 50-46-4. Bowe scored 40 stoppages, Lewis scored 21 stoppages. It only takes a few seconds to run a hundred fights.

Poet

Thought it would be something like that, I think Bowe would give Lewis fits though and he had everything needed to beat him, probably just favoritism lol.

Seems accurate though on other fights, you said it predicted correctly the Vitali 7th rd ko and others right ?. Pretty cool.

I'm interested in knowing how all the variables are calculated.

For example how is punching power between two fighters judged?

The generic method is KO% adjusted for quality of opposition and just plain common sense.

Yeah, that was the Vitali Klitschko Vs. Danny Williams fight. The program (in an older version) predicted a 7th round stoppage and that's what ended up happening IRL.

Actually that's a good way of judging how accurate the program really is. You can run through many past fights and compare the outcomes.

Tyson-Douglas would be interesting............

I must admit, I'm not a particular fan of this type of computer simulation but am grateful to Poet for opening an interesting thread. I do think that there are too many intangibles to consider such as a fighter's mood, stress, how well training has gone, how up for a fight someone is, if they have had personal problems in the leadup to the fight etc. Human beings are unpredictable and show different levels of motivation/form based on too many different variable factors.

Actually those variables can be set. Also, each fighter has a rating based on his actual track record: Coming in out of shape, being a head case, taking fights on short notice, long layoffs between fights, ect. ect. ect. Depending on how the fighter is rated any factor like that has a chance of effecting his performance. For example, every time Andrew Golota fights there's a chance he'll have a mental meltdown during the fight.

I can do that, even setting the intagibles like Tyson undertraining and Douglas being motivated.

Seriously! Unless I set it not to. I do these matchups prime for prime, top condition, with no outside "issues" though.....I want best on best when I run these

What about the Ali that fought Berbick.

Does he still beat Wlad ?

I can run it......I kind of doubt it though.
