The Compubox system is a "computerized" system for counting punches (jabs and power punches, landed and missed). The computerization means that a couple of bozos sit and punch some buttons, and a computer counts the number of times various buttons have been pressed. This must mean that compubox can be grossly inacurate and unreliable. What is your opinion?

judges never see it so it doesnt affect the outcomeOriginally posted by Nautilus -
To me, Compubox ranks down there alongside Olympic boxing's computerized scoring.
That said, I like it sometimes because I also like a lot of chilli; sometimes.

Just like what the other poster said. It's the same thing as Olympic scoring.Originally posted by NautilusComment

"Compubox" is ******ed, and not "computerized scoring" at all. It's exactly the same thing as three guys sitting there with pen and paper and tallying up the punches. Moreover, they miss half the shots. Maybe somebody could develop software that really did look at the digital feed and count the punches, but it ain't happened yet so it's false advertising to call this "computerized scoring." On another note: I'm not sure how they do it now, but if--and that's a big if--they could get impartial guys to count punches, they should have two sets of three and have each set count the scoring punches landed by one of the fighters. (I've noticed that it's damned hard to count the scoring blows landed by both guys at the same time).Comment

they should get that **** tennis does.... where they have a computer replay to see where the ball landed. it would be much more effective than anything around.Comment

ah... guys its a little more than that.
the computer part comes from a computer hooked up to
all six punch counters that the three people hold.
they all face a different side of the ring and count punches
thrown and punches landed.
the computer then trys to see if the guys press the bottens at the same time
any two guys pushing the butten within a few millseconds of eachother counts as a punch.
so its really about avrage punches, not really every punch thrown and landed.
compubox does it the same way exept they have guys there to count jabs and thats all they do, and another set of guys count power punches.
anyway its all really cool when you see these guys count, they look really ****** pushing their buttons like thier playing a video game.
the problem is people can be bought and people are a part of the system,
the answer should be the same in all currupt aspects of boxing... stop having people who are supper rich and have a vested interest in the outcome of the fight appoint officals,
just like you should stop promoters from bidding on these fights
and effctively becoming the boss of the organistion sactionning the bout.Comment

if compubox mattered b-hop would have won both of the taylor fights by large margins. so i dont know if it would be good or bad if it was a consideration for the judging of a fight.Originally posted by NautilusComment
