Couple of interesting statistics, but I never know how much to trust compubox. It's just a couple of people pressing buttons in real time, based on what they think they see.

Slow motion replays (and the people with enough time on their hands to sit through them) have shown on multiple occasions that the numbers that get published aren't much more reliable than your average Adelaide Byrd scorecard. Plus, there's no accounting for how much damage any particular punch does.

Then you get fans who use these numbers as some sort of gospel for showing who the 'real' winner is in a close fight... Go figure.

That's the part I hate. Using the stats to determine who actually wins a fight is ridiculous.

Some will say GGG landed more power shots so should win, then Canelo fans will say he was more accurate? Then some will say GGG was more effective with the jab.. and it just goes on..

Agreed. They're an item of interest sometimes, so I wouldn't say get rid of them. When it comes to scoring a fight though, stick to the proper criteria.
