Well most on here would here would think scores of 117-110 Dirrell would be highly accurate it seems

Anway I think you underestimate what computers could potentially do. Why do you assume they couldn't calculate aggression and other subtle things relating to the fight?

A computer is capable of much more than just registering whether a punch lands like, like some kind of counter.

They can do all kinds of things with computers these days and if research was put into it I bet they could in time make a computer that virtually removed the subjective aspect of scoring entirely.

They could track who pressed the most and who was backed up as easily as they can track possession times in a football video game, motion cameras and sensors could be set up, all kinds of data.

Because I make sensors that feed data to computers for a living and am quite aware of what is possible, I attend annual conferences so hardware engineers can discuss what is on the "cutting edge" and what they hope to achieve with new said technologies. I think you overestimate what is possible what you are talking about is unrealistic by today's standards.

You know it's ironic, when I discussed Obama policy with Jazmerkin it turned out he was a journalist, when I discussed geology with Salty it turned out he was a geologist and now I am discussing computer sensors with a man who makes them for a living.

Oh and when I went on about chess it turned out ICB was a chess prodigy at school who could beat grandmasters.

It seems I always come up against an expert in whatever field I talk about.

Talented folks here on Saddos.

I certainly wouldn't say I'm the expert, but in fairness my knowledge in what your talking about is equal to your knowledge in chess. I like how you add the air of suspicion around the three of us by adding ICB in the mix as well. I know it's hard to understand, but some of us have to work.

I think it's an interesting discussion topic at least.

There is a system being worked on now for use in amateur boxing which is interesting I feel. It would involve sensors in the vest and gloves so that every punches is accurately measured whether it landed or not and would be wirelessly linked to a big screen display so that the crowd could see exactly what punches were landing and where on the body.

Sensors in gloves may deliver KO blow to corrupt judges - Sport - smh.com.au

They say they still have some teething problems with blocking but it shows the possibilities.

Of course this method would mean wearing vests which I wouldn't want to see in pro boxing at all, but I don't know if later technology can get around that........

It makes sense for amatuer boxing where it is scored strictly by punches landed.
