Is Compubox valid or not valid?

[Easy Work.]

only if it fits your agenda

this ^^^^^

Compubox is absolute gospel when it comes to fights like Mayweather vs Castillo for some posters but its absolutely ludicrous when it comes to fights like Mayweather vs Pacquiao for those same posters lol.

No. These fighters need to fight in super slowmo all the time. That's the only way to get rid of compu stats

I know Compubox didn't count when Castillo ouylanded Floyd. But it counted when Floyd outlanded Manny.

Fight by fight basis, its not reliable proof to who won a fight but if you averaged it out I think if a fighter is landing above 40% in power punches there's a good chance he won the fight. Landing above 40% in power punches and losing means you probably didn't do **** in the fight and got outworked.

On the other hand I think compubox is pretty neat for career statistics despite it not being 100% accurate.

[daggum]

it's not accurate at all as far as punches landed. punches thrown maybe since that is easy but throwing punches doesn't matter. in mayweather pac i did my own numbers and they inflated floyd's landed punches by about 40 percent. then there is calzaghe/hopkins which was a complete joke. 220 landed by calzaghe when he was just hitting air. wrong. fail.

It has a 3% confidence limit. Punch stats do not tell the story of a fight so you can't judge the outcome of a fight on it. For example, I was watching Pirog-Jacobs the other day and Pirog won the round throwing and landing less. That mofo was slick af and he was white.

What's the white part got to do with it?

[MRBOOMER]

Ehh who knows. It's prbly as accurate as it can be.

If they really intended compubox to be accurate why have only one person pushing the button? At the very least there should be 3 people for each guy and then the total averaged as the median score. Compubox is a way for the powers that be to justify decisions that are outragish.

Since May 2nd i have seen posters who lived and died by compubox now discredit it..They used it to say Floyd lost to Castillo,used it to say Manny beat Jmm in the 2nd and 3rd fight..but now all the sudden it does not apply? So is it valid or not valid?

It's invalid because it plays no part in the judges scoring.

Also, too many button pushers are scoring punches that are blocked or don't land at all.
