    How many times lately has their been a fight where a guy clearly won out on compubox but didn't get the decision (20 or so punches over 12 rounds I don't consider clearly)? Not a rhetorical question, my mind is going blank. In the case of Malignaggi-Diaz, such a tragedy of justice apparently, Malignaggi landed like 12 or so more total punches but Diaz landed more power shots, so what's the power shot to jab ratio of importance?

    I just don't like it. I like grading better but for that it would help to have a national commission.

    The thing is that a computer induced judge would be all a new paradigm to us and it is a bit hard to imagine a sport we like getting such radical changing without being touched by it at least emotively; PErsonally, I am partly reluctant to it too because I would find it odd but somehow, I also know that a part of my judgment comes from the fact that it is an emotive reaction; Though I am highly rational, I tend to affection some things in daily life and to me, judges bring something more human to boxing and I don't like the idea that a machine created by men would judge men in their own sports.
    Very rationally though, let's imagine that the geeks from IBM would be able to make a super computer program that would judge with a very very high accuracy a match and calculate the ringwise and such, why would we spit on it without any regard? without making this computer the main judge, we could perhaps think of a system (always admitting that this super program/computer exists) where he wouldn't be the sole judge but one of the judge or at least, a reference that the judge could consult in tight rounds where they have difficulties to make their mind, a kind of technological tool to their service, no?
