    I've often questioned punch stats, and it's not as though people go around counting the actual numbers of landed blows themselves.

    Compubox was one of those things introduced to make thing interesting and more modern for the computer age, lot of old tosh. look what it did yo the Olympics, just a half second for judges to press to register a punch.

    I love how compubox works out the power punches, easy for someone who hasn't taked a shot to say it wasn't a power shot

    Compubox is merely a rough guide, and its usually pretty accurate in that it agrees with the outcome. A case where a fighter dominates the first, say, 6 rounds and may be 60-54 on all judges' cards ahead, then gets knocked out with a single blow in the 7th, in this case Compubox could not have predicted any such outcome.

    Ring Generalship, a term I used to think was utter hogwash, cannot be measured by Compubox, nor can the effectiveness of the blows tallied by Compubox be judged.

    If a fighter lands 200 punches in a fight, and most were pitter-patter, and his opponent lands 50 power punches (and let's say said opponent is George Foreman), the effectiveness of the blows is far more telling and predictive of the outcome than the mere TALLY.

    I still enjoy seeing the numbers at the end, and even more throughout the fight. But I never take them to be the End-All and Be-All.
