Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao vs. Jeff Horn - CompuBox Punch Stats

[A.K]

I know Compubox is boll0cks but am I really being lead to believe that Manny outlanded Horn 182-92?

So you didn’t see the fight? Horn was being schooled

[Pigeons]

But is compubox real or not???

I honestly have no ****ing idea. It's just old guys counting punches as they happen live. It's probably really inaccurate for rough and tumble fights. I'd assume it's easier to calculate for fights fought at a slow pace and at distance.

Pacquiao isn't shot. He outlanded Horn 182-92.

how the ***K do you lose when you land 2x the amount of punches?

Maybe you did not land twice.

[Robbie Barrett]

It's impossible to have Pacquiao outlanding Horn in round 1, but somehow compubox did.

[mathed]

Yeah, Compubox is terrible. They should use the NSB fight night consensus tallies instead, much more reliable!

[Ajvar]

Just look at the Horn's face and on Pac's face. Period.

I'd happily donate a large amount if someone could be assed.
I'm genuinely intrigued to see the results I mean in round 10 I could of sworn Manny barely threw anything that round after having Horn hurt, I recall thinking he may of punched himself out. Really shocked to see he apparently threw 44 punches that round & he certainly didn't outland Horn in 11 of 12 rounds and by over double in 7/12 rounds.

Maybe I was perhaps swayed, caught in the moment & Horns workrate deceived me somewhat but I am still finding these numbers ridiculously off.

12 of us should take a round each.

Anyone with even a shred of boxing knowledge knows that CompuBox is the most ludicrous, tendentious, backwater, medieval way of accumulating statistical evidence. To even mention it on your "reputable" boxing website is to besmirch it. How can a boxing website expect to anyone to take it seriously when it allows such filth to be discussed? Headlines like the above serve only to perpetuate a great and pernicious fallacy. This sport is crying out for objectivity, clarity, transparency-TRUTH!. It is immoral and reprehensible to use the word "CompuBox"

Post of The Week, could not have said it better. You heard it, B.S., no more CompuBox "stats," please.
