Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Horn Investigation: WBO Backs Scores, Explains Why

[Shape up]

Compubox Is only correct In certain circumstances. Mark my words, compubox will be used In the future to justify certain fighters wins, just as It has In the past.

Funny thing that, most of the posters saying how bad the compubox stats are in this instance were quoting them as gospel when Floyd fought pacquaio, it amazes me how they can lie to themselves so easily yet expect their opinion to hold credit, astounding

I thought boxingscene scored it correctly

Harold letterman would have scored it wide for horn due to "effective agression"

it's usually a little more nuanced than that. judges get the appointment from the sanctioning body knowing what's expected of them. don't need to necessarily pay anybody off. arum is the WBO's biggest customer. it's a symbiotic relationship. there's really no need for literal bribery or anything like that.

I don't remember the NSAC being a sanctioning body

Yes, absolutely. In that circumstance, compubox was 100% accurate because the numbers favored Floyd. When the numbers favored Pacquiao than suddenly compubox Is $h!t and extremely Inaccurate and who ever relies on compubox don't know $h!t about boxing.

Floyd Mayweather was a great fighter at one time, his fans have always been $h!t.

compubox can never be used to justify a win, EVER

how could anyone possibly think that

compubox is just one of the standard excuses that casuals roll out

You might want to relay that to the Floyd fans on this board who used compubox numbers to justify Mayweathers win over Pacquiao. There were many.

So Eric Morales, Jmm, and Bradley .. all scored it for Pacquiao.

I assume Morales and JMM were analyzing the fight ringside. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is just pathetic how the WBO is allowed to do this. IMO they forced the judges to score it consistent with how the 2 judges scored 115-113 at the fight.

Doesn't it depend on who is punching the buttons on compubox? So far we've got 8 qualified judges giving it to Horn which surely outweighs 2 jockeys on compubox.

Harold letterman would have scored it wide for horn due to "effective agression"

He would have scored it wide just for Horn coming forward
