Comments Thread For: CompuBox: Golovkin Shows Great Defense in Adama Win

[MDPopescu]

Adama landed 2 or 3 good punches all fight. Golovkin has better then average defense, especially for a guy who chases you down

I'll post this again:

So Adama landed 53 punches rather than 44 in the fight? You are right Golovkin's defence is terrible...

Where did I say Golovkin had terrible defense? I quite clearly said this did not prove Golovkin had bad defense. This had nothing to do with Golovkin. I always say compubox is terrible and should be abolished.

And I only did those two rounds. They were off by 50-85%. Those are pretty large margins of error. Who knows about the other rounds.

As opposed to you because you are a real punch counter?

I have the benefit of being able to slow down tape and being able to rewind to make sure they landed.

I was wrong if you were not trying to imply more than you wrote. However I think you probably were because in another thread you didn't think Golovkin clearly won rounds 2, 4 and 5 and even thought that Adama may have won round 2.

Why did you choose those two rounds? Anyway the errors are surely consistent throughout all compubox recorded fights therefore there is little need to 'correct' them in any individual case.

That 'benefit' is still not very reliable and as I said the inaccuracy of the 'punches landed' is the least of the problems with compubox.

I said he didn't win rounds 2, 3 and 4 clearly. And I was actually wrong about those rounds after a rewatch. Golovkin probably won them, but the commentators still didn't really give Adama credit for the work he did. Crappy stream did not do his Golovkin justice.

I picked 2 randomly. And then I picked 5 because Evil Abed mentioned Adama landed 0 jabs, which I found hard to believe.

Ok well I apologize then.

I do not think Adama really landed much solid though, certainly he landed some throughout but that in terms of good and fairly flush punches he might have landed even less than the compubox stats. It is hard to gauge how many of his jabs were landing well, especially the times when the camera angle meant you couldn't tell.
