No. He was the TV man for NBC, insisting the fight was up for grabs going into 12 after Dorsey had worked Paez.

Cliff, in your opinion, how accurate is compubox ?

Sometimes, it seems to record just about everything that gets thrown, including punches that are blocked or slipped, including stuff that hits shoulders/elbows/gloves/forearms..... even punches that do not seem to connect at all..... as do commentators sometimes.

Compubox is rubbish, not only is it irrelevant, it is highly inaccurate.

Good to see you in green homie! It was getting rough seeing Floyd fans mostly in red but that has since turned around big time.

The compubox statistics only show jab connect, jab miss and power punch connect/miss and the corresponding total stats. This is so primitive that is should not be related to any kind of real scoring. The statistics may have some meaning, but you cannot use it to determine what is a robbery and what is not... Zbik/Chavez is a good example. This fight was close imho, but in the compubox sense it was a 'one-sided fight', which is far from reality... Zbik throws 4 half-hooks/half-uppercuts on the inside which have no effect and zero power behind them and still these are counted as 'power punches' and Chavez throws 1 body shot that shakes Zbik... still Zbik wins 4 to 1?? Makes no sense to me...
