So what they are saying is that these "virtual matchups " might be on PPV?

Interesting they say they have velocity of punches taken into account in the simulation. Is there a database of hand speed somewhere for boxers?

Hopefully now he can stop calling out every hotdog vendor and their grandpa. Go buy some more ridiculous clothing and let the real fighters have their headlines.

WBSS can't put him in their WW series.

No. They'll use hand speeds that they know and through tv frame rates extract reasonably accurate models.

This could be fun

It began with the Virtual Ali Marciano fight, I always knew they would start virtual matchups and be able to to asses things very close because of the micro measurements they can do today, the accurate motion capture and digital advancements will mean it will hard to tell the difference between the real and a the digital.

Lol, the show must go on despite her predicament. I'm sure he told her to stay away from low life rappers but did she listen? Obviously not!

Yep even old fights are 29 fps , 1/29 of a second is a very fine measurement. With the modern high speed cameras they could measure the exact speed of shots, response time to an action, feet position , everything can be converted to a data base.

Would make some interesting debates regarding fantasy match ups thats for sure.

Aw man, I was hoping it was in relation to a new boxing game coming out
