There is a deep personal relationship between Ali and Tyson, two generations of boxing champions.

Tyson has always admired Ali since he was young and believed that Ali was the greatest boxer.

After the death of the coach he regarded as his father, Tyson, who ascended to the throne of boxing champion, quickly became dissolute and eventually went to jail. At this time, Ali was still very concerned about Tyson.

The awakened Tyson also refused Ali's prison visits. He believed that meeting Ali in a place like prison was disrespectful to Big Brother.

This can be regarded as a good talk in the boxing world.

Many boxing fans are curious about who is stronger, Ali or Tyson. Many people have asked them this question on different occasions and at different points in time. But Ali has always said that Tyson is better than him, and Tyson has insisted for decades that Ali cannot surpass him.

This question may never be answered. The year when Muhammad Ali left the ring completely, Tyson was only a teenager.

Due to the barrier of time, the two will never be able to face off at their respective peaks.

But Tyson has loved watching Ali's games since he was a child. Perhaps in his heart, he also wants to see what it would be like to compete with the big brother he respects most.

It has nothing to do with victory or defeat, nothing to do with honor, it is purely the sympathy between two boxers who have a close relationship.

Lu Xuanyu felt his blood surge. As a martial arts practitioner, he really understands the inner thoughts of the old boxing champion.

Coach Norwich murmured: "That's it... if all the great boxers in history can be reproduced... how many century regrets in boxing can be made up for."

Xiang Shan patted him on the shoulder and smiled happily: "That's it. Coach, you actually have the right to make suggestions on this project. You can put forward opinions to the researchers to influence the direction of this project."

The Norwich coach nodded, and his eyes changed when he looked at "Zhenwu 1".

But soon, he became a little worried: "Boss, you can mass-produce great boxers, right? Are real boxers still competitive?"

Xiang Shan sighed: "Well... I think real boxers will still be competitive for a long time, right? Do you remember what I just said? At the beginning, AI Ali and AI Tyson couldn't fight for a month. Play a decent game. Now, I can only play a few decent games every month."

"However, hundreds of Alis and hundreds of Tysons would fight twenty or thirty times a day for each pair. In other words, AI Ali and AI Tyson would have to fight tens of thousands of times to see a single match. wonderful."

The Norwich coach was a little surprised: "Why?"

"Why? Because they are artificially retarded." Xiang Shan sighed and held his forehead: "They don't understand what a 'wonderful battle' is, you know."

"Human beings' understanding of 'boxing' is actually such a process. First, they have the concept of 'fighting' in their minds and can understand what a 'wonderful fight' is. After that, humans will use rules to continuously combine those 'possibles' The elements that made it unexciting were eliminated, and then there were events like boxing and kickboxing."

"However, AI is completely unable to understand such a process. They don't know what 'playing wonderfully' means - or in other words, it is difficult for us to use set theory to describe the concept of 'wonderful' to machines. All they can understand is' Win or lose'.”

"The AI ​​is satisfied as long as it is one point higher than the opponent. Many AIs have this problem. As long as they are one point higher than the opponent, their combat will become extremely passive, and their footwork will focus on keeping the distance and being pulled closer. Hug as long as the distance is reached.”

"Then there are fouls... They are really consciously wandering on the edge of being sent off. Every round will receive at least two warnings, and there will definitely be two warnings in the entire game. Between cautions and warnings After the opportunity is used up, these AIs will consciously avoid foul actions - oh yes, there were even AIs that tried to study the position of the back of their heads in the fight to ensure that the back of their heads would hit the opponent's fist, so as to win according to the rules. ...Oh my god, I feel ridiculous even when I say it. Thanks to the cruel evolutionary algorithm, this kind of artificial retardation is not given a chance."

"In addition, their stamina management is also professional-level. Based on the premise of 'filling the twelve rounds', some AIs even learned to 'touch the opponent's fist with their shoulders and arms and then fall to the ground to rest for nine seconds.' The damaging moves...are just some frivolous operations that wander around the edges of the rules. Every time we input past cases to make the rules clearer, there will be AI that operates close to the edges of those cases."

"In addition, their footwork is absolutely impeccable, so they almost never accidentally dodge to the sidelines or corners. This results in long and stinky games."

When Xiangshan said this, he sighed heavily: "Boxing champion Mayweather's textbook-level defensive counterattacks have been criticized by many people for not looking good, but at least Mr. Mayweather doesn't hug him habitually. Fortunately, this kind of AI Most of them were eliminated.”

Lu Xuanyu said: "I thought this scoundrel was very strong."

From my own point of view, this kind of dog skin plaster is really disgusting.

"This is not the boxing version of Alpha Dog." Xiang Shan shook his head: "There are too many variables in boxing. If you want to 'last twelve rounds and win with a slightly higher final point', you have to face more changes and greater risks. .In boxing, the moment your fist hits your opponent is the moment with the fewest variables."

"Then, the more mainstream AI now is... the style of delaying rounds and physical strength management is similar, but as long as it seizes a flaw in the opponent, it will use combination punches, punch after punch, to continuously cut down the enemy. There is room for strategic choices, and the final KO is achieved. But, before the opponent reveals a flaw, this group of AIs have very low desire to attack."

"What about the AI ​​with a high desire to attack?" Lu Xuanyu asked, "Are there any stronger ones?"

Xiang Shan shook his head: "Because this type of dog gambling with artificial intelligence cannot guarantee a winning rate, most of them have been eliminated."

Coach Norwich pointed to the boxing robots: "But I think they fought pretty well."

"Because this batch was mostly trained with data from legendary boxers. For these AIs, 'playing Ali, Tyson or any boxer' is as important a rule as 'boxing rules'." Xiang Shan said, "It's not that they don't want to Wandering on the edge of the rules, if they fight like that, it will obviously violate the rules of 'playing a specific object' - in the input data, those boxers obviously will not fight like this."

Xiang Shan covered his forehead: "When those boxer AIs face these AIs that don't respect martial arts, the winning rate is only 50-50. Many boxer AIs may even be infected by those unscrupulous professors because of deep learning algorithms. The stinky habit of talking about martial ethics..."

“Only when boxer AI fights boxer AI, AI can occasionally present high-quality human duels.”

I studied the "AIBA Technical Rules" for a long time before writing this chapter. Please forgive me for being rude. Although some people told me that most real-life boxers have done all kinds of unethical tricks, but I don’t think any human boxer would touch the porcelain with the back of his head.
