    My question is many networks (and Fans) almost seem to depend on them though and actually tend to score rounds based on the data they receive from them.

    There is something called "quality of shots" that many now seem to ignore.
    and Bingo was his name.


    CB is practically worthless.

      I think slow paced fights they are closer to being right but faced paced fights with a quick puncher who throws a lot, they can be really wrong

      Calzaghe landed probably not even half of what compubox said he did against Hopkins

        Yeah, I'm sure this is probably the case.

        I really wish they would review the tape of the fight afterward, and recount. Could even get a count on particular punches.

          It wasn't even half. They had him landing 208 I believe.

          Anyways, 2% is impossible to know unless they go back and watch the tapes which Im sure they don't care to do since there is no other "compubox" to compete with.
