I was wondering this week what boxing decisions would be like if one of the three judges was a computer?

It could calculate the winner of the round based on punch stats, connect percentages, power punches landed, workrate etc. I'm not sure if a computer can be programmed to calculate things like ring generalship but as time went on surely they would get better at programming a more accurate computer.

Anyway my reasoning is that in virtually every fight you seem to get at least one judge who was practically making up his scorecard or watching the wrong fight and a computer simply could not do a worse job than them.

Of course occasionally a computer might get it wrong, but I'd imagine far less often than human judges who balls up fights every week, and with only one computer judge, the two humans could overule if they both agreed differently.

I know it won't happen but I actually think this could go some way to improving results in practice and making fight results a bit fairer.

Three minds, two human imcompetents and one silican, to me it's better than just three human imcompetents.

Any thoughts?
