Critics have raised concerns that AI judging may struggle to account for subjective elements such as the power and impact of punches, overall damage, and the psychological control a fighter exerts over their opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Boxing is as much an art as it is a science, and some worry that relying too heavily on technology could reduce it to a simple point-counting exercise.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Usyk keeping an eye on Fury \ud83d\ude2d<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/boxingontnt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@boxingontnt<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SreJjamLIG\">pic.twitter.com\/SreJjamLIG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Spinnin Backfist (@SpinninBackfist) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpinninBackfist\/status\/1869142933523575018?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Context: Scoring Controversies and Innovations in Boxing<\/h3>\n<p>Scoring disputes in boxing are nothing new.
