When I saw punch stats the first time, I always thought, they are generated through a scientific machine or something like that. Then I heard its basically 2 pple sitting ringside and they press a button whenever they THINK a punch connected. So basically its complete unscientific. These pple only see one angle, and this system has so many flaws, its a joke. It is also biased cause I have seen TONS OF FIGHTS where I knew the punchstats dont reflect AT ALL what happened in the ring. Basically HBO and Showtime use the CompuBox Stats as an instrument to make it look like the BS they are telling the audience (whatever fighter they are hyping) is the truth.
This is how the system should work: There should be 5 different camera angles for the fight. Now we need quite a lot pple who create the PunchStats AFTER THE ROUND HAPPENED. They look at every punch from 2 or 3 or 4 different angles and then they decide if the punch connected or not. Cause if you look at a certain time frame from different angles, you can REALLY TELL if the punch landed or not. Of course I know it may take a few minutes to have the punch stats of a certain round; BUT: If 2 or 3 pple work on only one single round and if they practice a lot, they become really good at it and I bet they could finish creating the punchstats of a 3 minute round within a few minutes. Of course we need at least 10 or 12 pple for that Compubox system cause the fight happens faster than the creation of the punchstats. This way we would get the punch stats a few minutes AFTER THE FIGHT ENDED (If enough pple work on the punch stats). And that is fine with me. Cause those punch stats would actually mean something.
Cause the punch stats system right now is a joke, a disgrace.
What do you think?
I think that system would cost a little bit money. And the HBO crew prefers that the money goes to THEMSELVES instead of being used for a new compubox system.
