The Boxers App.

The first thing users need to do is use the "Boxers" app to fill out a form for the boxers that you want to follow. To do that select "Add Boxer" on the Boxers app Menu and fill in the form that appears.

You'll enter their name and some statistics. You can find those statistics at https://boxrec.com/

Next you'll want to rate the boxer using a 1-10 scale for each of these categories:

    Averaged Quality of Opponents

    Ring Generalship

    Punching Power

    Aggression

    Hand Speed

    Foot Work

    Stamina

    Defense

It's best to add boxers you're scoring in Boxers app first, and then select their name by typing the first few letters of their name when creating a new ScoreCard. This way you can use the Boxers app to list all the bouts you've score for that boxer.

You can also score a bout for a boxer not on your list of boxers. If you add that boxer to your list of boxers you can open scorecards for bouts they fought and delete their name, then type in a few letters in their name and select their name from the list that appears. That will add that scorecard to the list shown when you click on "List Boxer's Bouts" on their Boxer page in the Boxer App.

Click or tap on the to view the Menu and switch between the "Boxers" and "ScoreCard" apps.

The ScoreCard App.

The ScoreCard app lets you score a bout and keeps a running tally of the score. And it lets you add notes for each boxer and save your scorecards, review your scorecards, and edit them in case you want to change your scores or notes.

! Important! You really should add the "Boxers" you're scoring with the Boxers app first. Once you've done that you can select them by typing the first few letters of their name on a new ScoreCard.

Click or tap on the to view the Menu and switch between the "Boxers" and "ScoreCard" apps.

The MatchUp App.

Click or tap on the to view the Menu and switch between the "Boxers", "MatchUp" and "ScoreCard" apps.

The Matchup app is just for fun. Use it to see how good you are at rating boxers and to help you get better at that.

Type a blank space, or the first few letters in a boxer's name, in the "Boxer 1" and "Boxer 2" inputs and select your boxers from the list that appears. Then click the "Match Up" button to see how they matchup.

The Matchup app analyzes the statistics and your ratings for the two boxers you've selected and assigns a score for each boxer and tells you who has the highest score.

In theory, the boxer with the highest score has a better chance of winning a bout. But we're talking about boxing and "upsets" happen so don't bet the farm on who the apps says has the advantage. (See "MatchUp Analytics" below for more info on how this works.)

The MatchUp Analytics.

The "Matchup" app analyzes the data you've entered for the two boxers you select in the MatchUp app.

These are the category ratings the MatchUps app uses to analyze a boxer:

    Averaged Quality of Opponents

    Ring Generalship

    Punching Power

    Aggression

    Hand Speed

    Foot Work

    Stamina

    Defense
 

You can give a boxer a rating between 1 - 10 for each of those categories for a total of 70 points.

These are the boxer's statistics the MatchUps app currently uses to analyze a boxer:

    Age

    Height

    Reach

    Number of Pro Bouts

    Wins

    Losses

    KOs

    Draws
 

Your ratings have a lot more influence on how a boxer scores in the MatchUp app than their statistics.

Right now the analytics only gives or takes a few points off a boxers overall rating and the bar for giving or taking a point is pretty high.

I've really just started on working on the analytics and have some ideas on how to dig a bit deeper into how a boxer's statistics can be expected to affect the outcome of a real life matchup.
