Exposing the inaccuracy of Compubox

[billeau2]

I'm going to be doing my own compubox review of the fight while watching it closely. I'm only counting clean punches, not punches that hit gloves, shoulders, tickle the nose with no force etc..i'm counting punches. i will have 3 categories jabs, power punches, and body shots. let's see how accurate/inaccurate compubox is. I will also be keep track of the clinches/bending below the waist and other fouls i find but that is for another thread.

compubox is not to be trusted....Go for it!!!

Daggum is so butt hurt with Pac's loss that he took the time to count every punch to make a case for Pac

Floyd won but he didn't dominate or school Pac he just managed to edge a few more rounds than Pac.

A few more Pac flurrys in a couple of those rounds and he takes it.

Mayweather hater doing punches landed? I'll stick with compubox.

I had it 8-4 on the night. Haven't rewatched it.

Any thread exposing Compubox is a good thread in my book. I'm surprised to read in the thread that some posters thought Compubox is some scientific data taking system..and not just 2 men pressing button when they think a punch has landed.

Ok well you don't have to believe me. I know I made the most unbiased finding that I could because I really don't care who wins. I care about the truth. Did I miss a punch here or there? yea probably but I tried my best because I actually like boxing and this was fun and informative for me. I didn't believe the numbers and now I have my own evidence that they were wrong.

At the very least if one is going to use compubox stats, why not have 3 people on each guy and do a mean for the resulting punches thrown?

No need when they bring the chips in

Compubox only counts for Floyd fans when it suits them

That's funny when Pacquiao fans are the ones that always brought up those numbers as proof Mayweather lost to Castillo.

Now Compubox is inaccurate to the same people.

Thank you for the analysis Daggum. This might be reaching, but if you could make a video walking through each punch and talking over, I think that would be extremely enlightening for many fans on here. I know it would take forever, but maybe do it for swing rounds at the minimum.

I believe that is one thing that is lacking in boxing. A good show which uses good analysis to break down fights. Most shows are people just arguing and giving opinions without backing their statements up with video data. In any other sport, video footage is shown in slow motion explaining a play, etc.

Anyhow, if you had a youtube channel or blog doing this for various fights, I would definitely watch it.

I second the motion. I don't care if it would take a week or two for you to finish it. Let's show the people just how much of a joke compubox really is.
