Do you even know how Compubox works?

Two guys, two keyboards. One guy for each fighter. They only use 4 keys.

Key 1: Jabs missed.
Key 2: Jabs landed.
Key 3: All other shots missed.
Key 4: All other shots landed.

The Comp in Compubox just does simple statistic algorithms based on the flawed human input.

The system is rife with human error. Conscious or unconsious is undetermined.

Originally designed for Tennis. Compubox was made in the 80's or maybe even 70's. Old tech with high margins of error.

I don't think they are always right on the money but it's either put stock in that as a legit stat source or random NSB fanboys. Which one would you tend to base something off of? I mean seriously, come on now.

It always legit when it makes someone's point.

Compubox alright if you're a casual but judges are more legit and we should listen to no matter what.

So true. We all should blindly follow the judges.

Just read in 2017 or 18 Ring article that Compubox, apparently a small co in a small town which didn’t send its 2 button pushers; ie not trained, exp’d judges mind you, to Australia for Pacquiao Horn. Why? “Too expensive” to fly there according to its admin or owner. When questioned by Michael Rosenthal, Editor of The Ring, his comment included defense about testing, watching on television versus being at ringside where they can see punches, clearer, and certainly hear them. “Tests came out the same” according to Compubox. Really? Can I please see any documented reports, videos, stats on that? I wonder if Mr. Rosenthal requested any of this? I can imagine he would’ve if he’s any kind of a journalist or editor worth his salt, no?

OK, at least actual judgment is not dependent upon this bull****. But, what’s necessary here is to know that a human being, pressing buttons is a similar issue as a judge, checking the piece of paper. The “CompU” part in Compubox Is simple, simple, tali- ation of statistics from the same, if not even less input, then if written on a piece of paper. In fact, utilizing trained boxing people, and then recording the same information on all statistics currently available through Compubox should yield much more accurate statistics, get it? That is, unless these button pushers are some somehow trained by some form of authoritative boxing professionals to push those buttons and report as accurate as anyone else who would be trained properly for such a task. Who are their button pushers trained by? And, what % of Compubox stats depend on these Butt-Pushers in front of TV screens?
