AI to Judge Tyson-Usyk

[ELPacman]

Granted, it's only suppose to be unofficial and they're still going by the official judge scorecards, but it brings up an interesting idea. How accurate is AI in scoring? If it became a "thing" in the future to try and remove human judges, could it be trusted that it wasn't manipulated in some way to favor one fighter over the other? I suppose that wouldn't be much different than human judges...

idk what do you think of the computer scoring for Ali-Marciano

It can't be any worse than the knuckleheads scoring fights these days.

I actually, never saw that. How was it? I imagine though since AI didn't exist then, it was just a coded to "pretend" the computer scored it, but it was all already pre-determined.

That's very true and also why I think, even if a person were to program the AI in some way to favor one fighter over the other, isn't that how our judges are currently doing it most of the time? Whether bias or paid a little something something extra? It would be interesting to see how accurate it is in line with the mass majority watching the fight though. Something similar to let's say Harold Lederman. I think I could mostly agree with his scorecards for 90-95% of the fights he did.

AI judging could solve so many problems with bias humans...

But the problem is that it'll be based on rules. How much is a jab worth? How much is a body shot worth?

Once people work out the scoring, they could end up fighting tactically to accrue points.

Like the old Amateur system with pitty pat punches to score.

Human judging is poor, but ultimately judging IS subjective and not rules based.


Having said that, something needs to change. Maybe a mixture of the two, two human, two AI.

Honestly it doesn't matter. If they aren't even willing to hold human judges accountable for bad scorecards, or use instant replay and have the ability to overturn bad ref decisions, etc, they will certainly use AI scoring to fix fights.
