yes... that's what i was getting at in my earlier post...if the judges were aware of the compubox scores, would they have given mosely the fight because he had hit harder? i don't know, maybe they would. but in this particular fight, the compubox scores were almost all DLH, and my opinion ring generalship was as well...but with these 3 judges the "harder hit" carried the most weight...i suppose they could still override compubox scoring with their judgement, but they might be less inclined to do so if compubox numbers were so heavily in favor of a boxer....were it to be used officially in the judging. as long as the human interpretation of the fight is preserved, i see no reason not to use compubox

How about this? (1) Four judges ( one on each side of the ring). They independently tabulate their scores. All rounds are 10-9 unless a knockdown occurs. Knockdowns are automatically valued a 2 points. Two or more knockdowns in the same round are automatically valued at 3 points. 3 or more knockdowns in the same round ends the bout. Scoring is tabulated by a count of total points. The four scores are added together to determine the winner. Now, here is a question or two: Are the judges checked for vision? Are they evaluated by the commission on how they have ruled in prior contests which ended up in a controversy? Are they ever set back if their judging record indicates a lack of competency or judgement? Finally, what kind of money do they make? Where do I apply? <gg>
