Computer picks Pacquiao over Diaz
|
|
Compubox, the computerized punch scoring system
that counts each punch thrown by each of the boxers, breaks down the
punches and provides boxing fans with a final punchstat count, has
picked Filipino Manny Pacquiao to prevail over David Diaz Sunday in
their battle for the World boxing Federation (WBC) lightweight
title.
The Compubox program is currently used in major
boxing bouts across the world. Cable network giants HBO and ESPN use
the system to provide boxing fans with an alternative
perception—other than the official scores of the judges—of who
should be ideally declared the winner in a fight.
