more one sided than it was. I’m not sure scoring would be taken over by AI, would they just have one computer scoring it or three different AI all scoring it in different ways? Punch stats aren’t great either
I think that's more an issue of the scoring system than anything else. Or not an issue, really. It's part of the sport, you know you have to win rounds to win on points and what you did last round shouldn't have any impact on how the current round is scored. Pitty rounds lead to bad scorecards.
Search for "Fury x Usyk AI Live Stats Streaming" on YouTube, you can see the final stats for the fight at the end of the stream if that's all you are interested in. It shows exactly who landed where and when (you can watch it the same time as you watch the fight) and also looks at the impact of punches, pressure and aggression.
I really think Deep Strike is already more reliable than compubox for punch stats. Obviously far from perfect, it's still in beta and one of the issues I have is that it can only see what you can see on TV. But it's already better than a lot of professional judges who just score as much as possible for the promoter's boy to stay in favour with them.
Boxing is so corrupt, I doubt any of the bigger promoters or organizations would want to eliminate human scoring. But AI scoring is already very advanced. Give it four (or more) different cameras with different angles to watch, make adjustments along the way and it could be extremely helpful to the sport.
