How CompuBox should REALLY be done!!!!!

[Jam Jars]

bro, I sh't on Ledermans scorecard. And do you think anybody wants to see an "unofficial way to measure punches mostly for entertainment"? hell no. I want punch stats that mean something. I dont want complete BullSh't punch stats which are created by a Bullsh't system and dont mean ANYTHING.

In real time there will always be mistakes even the Olympic system isn't that great and they miss punches.

not true. here is how it works:

I quote:

I stand corrected but still that "they have to all push the same button within a split second" stuff is for the olympics.

they would never release accurate punch stats the next day if they were TOTALLY DIFFERENT from the "live" compubox system. Cause that would make HBO look so ****** its unreal. That would make the whole punch stats of any fight in the last 10 years or so look totally ridiculous.

I just saying it would be the best way to record fighter stats. I'm sure the majority of fans would prefer this way over what we have now.

Then go count the punches yourself.

Compubox is not official in any way of form, neither does it have any affect on the scoring of the fight.

It is simply an attempt to get the approximate numbers of punches, thats it

With all the technology that exists today you would think that computers would be much more capable than a person to accurately track punch stats. Especially when you have things on the market such as the Xbox Kinect.

I think they should do away with CompuBox stats during the fights, just get rid of it. After the fight is over, have a couple go in a watch the fight in slow motion when unches are thrown and landed, than release the official numbers a day after the fight. That's what I'd do.

The point of compubox is to have an up to the second update of punches during the broadcast, not to satisfy posters on forums after the fight

Boxing needs to go high tech. What they need is to implant the gloves with accelerometers and contact detection. Boxers will whine about the gloves feeling different. But I'm sure they can make it in a way to be unintrusive.
They can also set up special cameras to do hand and body tracking like with XBox Kinect. Would make things interesting. Then they can reuse the data to make videos more realistic.

whats the sense of having two guys sitting ringside pressing buttons while watching the fight, as if they were playing a computer game. imagine you and me sitting ringside and doing the punchstats. the result would be full of sh't. just like its full of sh't when these 2 HBO guys do it. if you see only one angle of a punch, then in 80 % of the cases, you cant say if it connected or not just cause you didnt see the right angle. or it was too fast. so, basically if the result of the punch stats HAS TO BE a big pile of crap, why even showing it in the broadcast? Lampley presents those punch stats each and everytime as if it was the truth sent from God himself. while in reality its a big pile of crap

No the point is to have statistics on punches thrown and landed, you can then use that as a tool to analyze the fight. It doesn't have to be up to the second. I think it'd be better if they only gave the punch stats every 4 rds.
