Boxing AI judge?

[midastouch]

Anyone see this?

"DeepStrike, measures millions of data points during a fight that it funnels into 50 metrics for each boxer, not only punches thrown, landed, and their quality, but also many other aspects such as footwork, balance, stance, etc. It’s a real solution to corruption and cheating.

Incredible work from Allan Svejstrup Nielsen at Jabbr."

How does the existing compubox measure stats?

Compubox is just a human (or two), pressing hit or miss for jabs or power punches, if they think it has hit or missed.

Very open to poor stats and bias, but it's 'better than nothing'. Really just measure of activity, rather than effectiveness.

AI would be fun, unofficially, imo.

Truth is the problem with boxing, is fans see what they want to see, so it'll always have controversy.

Very interesting - I'll keep an eye on this. Got a passing interest in AI.

Machine learning engineers at Danish startup Jabbr have developed an AI called DeepStrike that automatically analyses the performance of boxing opponents using camera feeds.

The innovation could be used to replace boxing judges and provide athletes with accurate stats on their sparring training sessions to help them identify areas for improvement.

How does it work?


DeepStrike uses deep learning to measure 50 metrics including punch types, punches landed, quality, footwork, aggression, pressure, and more.

It can produce metrics from footage taken on 1, 2 or 3 amateur smartphones and professionally recorded footage.

As well as performance stats, it automatically edits and mixes the footage to produce round highlights with zoom, view-shifts and tracking.

The company is currently carrying out beta testing with potential customers who can register on their website to get access to the application.


What are the potential benefits?


Boxing scoring can be prone to human error as well as deliberate manipulation by corrupt or biased judges.

Corruption is a significant problem in boxing. A 2021 independent investigation into the 2016 Rio Olympics boxing tournament found evidence of bribes, favours and judges throwing matches.

DeepStrike could help to eradicate corruption and human error from judging, ensuring fair results.

Once AI can measure the feelings of each fighter then it would be accurate and usable. The true test of who’s winning a round is who is putting more hurt on his opponent. If AI were able to measure pain, energy level and other things that fighters try to hide, then it would be a great tool. Often fighters try to appear unbothered and in control but they’re just posing for the judges and audience. It would be nice to see passed the bravado because some of these guys have a good game face, though if the fighter is losing badly their body language tends to give it away.

I support it.

I've been saying for years that we need computer judges.

The sooner we can get rid of the corrupt POS that currently ruin the sport, the better.

AI can't be any worst than CJ Ross & Adelaide Byrd

Three AIs would likely have more consistent results compared to human judges.

Would be nice if it was tested out in different undercards and ask the public if they agree with the results.

[YoungManRumble]

Boxing is so corrupt that the AI will eventually learn to accept bribes. What that would be I don't know maybe a juicy new CPU or something.

I'd trust computers over 3 geriatric judges and an equally old ref.
