    And to follow on, under ten point must, you can't score a round 9-9!

    That a round with a knockdown can't be 10-9.

    That more of it is predetermined than you would ever be comfortable admitting.

    … and I hope you have a nice day too.

    We have been going back and forth with this, and you're right... there's no reason to go on and on.

    My parting words will be, that I wish those who think, they have somehow patented the "truth" would realise, that those with an opposing opinion aren't necessarily lacking in knowledge, biased or wearing blinders - they just happen to see things differently!

    Wasn't questioning your knowledge friend, nor did I come off as "patented a truth".
    I was merely stating the obvious. Sorry if 'Facts" in your opinion comes off
    that way. Research anything I wrote. Everything I wrote is common sense, or
    factual. Nothing created. My opinions are based on those facts. And that's
    the key word you seem to not understand is...... My opinion. Its not some
    romanticized view of past fighters, because in that very same column,
    I noted Dempsey wasn't the best of his own era, and I don't believe
    Louis beats Lewis.
    But you failed to mention that. It was the Lomo comment that got you stoked. But I didn't
    make up his age, I didn't make up the fact of he's only has 15 fights pro fights.
    . Your opinion may be he ko's every historical
    lightweight in history. On this site If I saw that I would write your wrong.
    But that would be my opinion. Ultimately it is what it is an opinion. But mine
    I base on the facts of the a situation.

    No, you haven't made up anything about Lomachenko. Everything you say is true - so why are you trying to make it look, like I'm in disagreement: "I'm as impartial as anyone (Including you if those obvious facts about Lomo you can't see)". WTF!

    What facts can't I see? That he's already 31, and has only had 15 fights - and that it's unlikely, he will retire with an ATG resume? How can I disagree with this? And have I ever hinted, that I believe he would beat every lightweight in history? Why are you saying these things?

    It makes me uncomfortable to see your usernames back to back.
