I keep hearing that CompuBox is shit........

…..and I’ve come up with a much better system to score fights. Instead of the current system, where two operators (one for each fighter) have only four buttons to press (jab connect, jab miss, power punch connect, power punch miss)… I propose to increase the number of buttons available to each operator. The operator, himself having two hands, would be required to press two buttons simultaneously. One button from Group A, and another button from Group B. A button from Group C would be available to press after A and B, but would not be required. The button groupings would be as follows:

Group A

1. Jab missed.
2. Jab connected squarely.
3. Jab grazed target.
4. Hook missed.
5. Hook connected squarely.
6. Hook grazed target.
7. Uppercut missed.
8. Uppercut connected squarely.
9. Uppercut grazed target.
10. Cross missed.
11. Cross connected squarely.
12. Cross grazed target.
13. Low blow connected.
14. Rabbit punch connected.
15. Headbutt connected.

Group B


1. Connected with 100% power.
2. Connected with 75% power.
3. Connected with 50% power.
4. Connected with 25% power.
5. Missed.

Group C (optional)


1. Punch had no effect.
2. Punch backed up opponent.
3. Punch buckled opponent’s knees.
4. Punch made opponent wince.
5. Punch made opponent double over.
6. Punch dropped opponent.
7. Punch KTFO’ed opponent.


System operators would undergo rigorous training involving hand-eye coordination and other motor skills, as well as extensive training on scoring boxing punches and evaluating power. Candidates with a background on the clinical and anatomical reactions to punches on the human body would be preferred over those without this knowledge base.

A more sophisticated system would implement these same buttons, but would incorporate five operators for each boxer. The computer would then analyze the data, and perform statistical analysis over the course of the fight, in order to screen the data by putting a lesser weight on the scores of any operator whose scores deviate from the mean by more than three standard deviations.

The system will be equipped with an emergency, contingency plan device, consisting of a pair of dice and a coin, in case the system fails to operate.

I guess you didn't read my post on the other thread.

Compubox is bullshit.

It counts anything that isnt a jab as a powerpunch. I bet every shitty little pitty pat punch is counted by those morons that fuck around with it. Do they ever even show who operates the system and show their credentials?

Seeing as there is such massive controversy maybe the same people should be filmed, rewatching the tape in slightly slower motion and press these magic compubox buttons. Until that happens I wont believe anything as Arum is involved

Iv said it elsewhere in this forum but ill say it again, the
Ast round looked like Calzaghe v Lacy

Ah yes....

In a perfect world, the system would have buttons for: jabs, hooks, uppercuts, crosses, and even low blows. But until we can find a superhuman individual who has 10 fingers in each of his 3 arms.... and can operate the system at the speed at which the fight occurs in real time..... we'll just have to settle for the "shitty" system we have.

No, which thread?

I am sure you could find room for a Group D and Group E
