		Compubox is used in boxing matches across the world.
		Compubox's aim is to settle controversies surrounding fights by counting each punch thrown by each of the fighters, and also each punch landed, to provide fight viewers with a final punchstat count and a perception of who should ideally be given the judges' decision, in the cases where a fight lasts the full distance.
		Compubox also showed Lennox Lewis outlanding Evander Holyfield by a large margin during their first fight, declared a draw or tie.

		Compubox is a way to look at things, but you have to take it with a grain of salt.
		Compubox can also be misleading because of grazing punches that still land, and solid clean punches.
		Compubox numbers mean nothing because the judges do not take that into effect and just because you throw more shots doesn't mean you are hurting you opponent.

		Compubox has its limitations, but its drawbacks are as hurtful to the sport as misguided fans who interpret raw punching numbers as an indication of how a decision should go.
		Since Compubox was introduced back in 1985, the fighter landing the greater number of punches wins 90 percent of the time.
		The only way that Compubox could improve is to be able to count the number of punches and one day count the force of the punches, but that is a technology not yet invented or introduced.

	Boxing News : CompuBox Part III
		Canobbio and CompuBox co-founder Logan Hobson couldn't have asked for a better showcase, because the fight featured bristling action, a charged-up crowd and a controversial decision of a nature that helped emphasize the new technology's best attributes.
		CompuBox signed long-term contracts with HBO and ESPN, and as a result, the assignments eventually became too numerous for the co-founders to handle themselves.
		CompuBox has borne witness to tragedies such as the deaths of Beethavean Scottland and Bobby Tomasello and absurd moments like James Butler's post-fight sucker punch of Richard Grant.

	Is It The Judges That Create Controversial Decisions… Or Is It The CompuBox?
		We have seen fights in the Olympics (where there should be the best judges) where one judge has counted over 30 punches as landed whereas another judge has seen just 8 clean punches landed in the same fight.
		Yet in scoring standards it says that clean punching (which includes both that the punch lands clean and it is effective) is the thing that counts.
		CompuBox statistics are interesting of course and they can give you a good indication of how the fight processes but you can not score bouts according to them.

	Two Cheers for Compubox and Inch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		I will add that many critics are right that Compubox is imperfect since it is dependent upon humans to count punches, not a easy endeavor and of course, it does not show how hard a punch is.
		But as Larry Merchant observed, Compubox usually tells the story correctly 9 out of 10 times and there are some benefits.
		Compubox reinforces what we saw in the fight, that De La Hoya slowed down and Sturm fought a steady fight from round to round.

		CompuBox punch statistics, while not designed to compete with the judges to determine a winner, have added such texture and a fresh perspective to the sport since their inception in the mid-1980s.
		Punch statistics are the brainchild of Canobbio and Logan Hobson, the former a onetime researcher for Sports Illustrated and the latter an ex-sports writer for United Press International.
		As it is, CompuBox has changed for the better the way boxing is viewed with its simple, yet clever system.

		Compubox is ridiculous, useless, and would do nothing for Mixed Martial Arts except heedlessly complicate it.
		And after all the judges won't see this info, it would just be for the fans to see the percentages, and it could be usefull to the fighters too.
		one beef i've had with compubox is that it doesnt take into consideration the power and effect of the punches, only the # thrown.

	:: - USA Columnists - Thomas Hauser
		CompuBox was hired by NBC in 1988 to compute at the Seoul Olympics.
		Canobbio and Hobson were in Korea for a month, compiling statistics for every fight that involved an American, all other televised fights, and miscellaneous match-ups where one of the participants was perceived as a possible future opponent for an American.
		The CompuBox system is imperfect in that the distinction between "jabs" and "power punches" is often irrelevant.

	A Ringside Seat - Where's the best place to watch a boxing match? By Allen Barra
		CompuBox, which scores the fight for HBO, had de la Hoya landing nearly 100 more punches than Mosley, 221 to 127.
		The CompuBox statistics may not be the final word, but they must at least be recognized and dealt with.
		So, what we're left with is a situation in which the combination of television, taped replay, and punch-stat counts give any TV-watching knucklehead more evidence to work with than is available to the judge or sportswriter sitting right there at ringside.

	Juniorbird.com: Oscar Wuz Robbed!
		The LA Times’s Bill Plaschke says that Mosley won because he drew blood, but that blood came from an unintentional head-butt, so if any judge took sanguescence into account in his or her scoring, that was simply an act of incompetence.
		The AP says that Mosley was more active and that was why he won, but the CompuBox punch tracker shows that Oscar threw 100 more punches, landed 100 more punches, and completely dominated with his jab.
		Yes, boxing should have two components to each round’s score: one provided by CompuBox, worth up to five points, which tracks measurable things, such as punches thrown and punches landed (points can even be subtracted for undesirable actions, such as low blows and head butts).

		Tarver actually outlanded Jones 120-111 in total punches, the first time Jones had been outlanded in 22 fights tracked by Compubox, but Jones had a 94-73 edge in power connects, the difference in the fight.
		If Tarver had won the last two rounds on two of the cards, the fight's a draw and he retains his title.
