You might want start off by saying or claiming that there are certain things amongst human endeavors that technology cannot improve on and that one of those things fundamentally is the purity of pugilism. I suppose you might want to narrow the scope a bit. I mean gloves can be seen to be technology. Lets just say there is no application or techno gizmo to predict when spontaneity occurs and that's what much of boxing is both in a proactive and reactive way. There is no math equation to which a device may solve in order to sort out the riddle that is Floyd Mayweather.

You could then show them compubox numbers to prove the point. Technology cant even get that right on the most basic level. I've heard rumours of lasers being the next punch counter. Its technology trying to compensate for non boxing viewers and actually making matters worse. Like the silly blue light FOX implemented so people could follow the puck.

There is so much technology going on these days that even many of the judges dont know how to score a fight. Bad and even downright ridiculous cards have not decreased over time, they have increased. Its the dummy down effect lol. Watch the Bizier/JoJo Dan fight with the students after explaining to them the theory behind the ten point must system. A great example of a fight seen completely different by three different judges.

Great topic. Way to mix it up for the IT class

Ps- Yvon Durelle is one of my favourite native sons. I could watch that first Moore fight over and over again although it bugs me every time.
