    People in boxing is way too general to qualify as a fact here.

    Both fights were vey close. The word 'robbery' is not appropriate here. In the books, Shane is 2-0 over Oscar. I think Oscar did enough to at least split the series.

    No you don't. You have no idea to be perfectly honest. You have NO IDEAD what his dad thought.

    That isn't my interpretation. It's what his dad said.

    No, you are putting what you think, not the "Most likley" reason. You can believe what YOU THINK Is the truth, but the reality is it's just what YOU THINK. ANd I won't bother getting into it if we are going to go with your perception of things.

    We agree, it wasn't a robbery. Was close. But a close, clear victory for Shane.

    My opinion, the judges opinion, and a majority of those at press row. And a majority of the people aren't capable of judging a close fight.

    Because they are trained for one. Just being a fan doesn't mean you can judge.

    You did not offer anything to refute my assertion that I can have an idea of what someone is thinking by listening to his words.


    As I said earlier:

    You just repeated your unsupported statement over again.

    And in repeating this absurdity, without even an attempt to justify it, you are in effect saying that all conversation is meaningless, since we can have no clue as to what someone is thinking by listening to their words.









    If someone is surprised by an event, it means that they were not expecting that event to occurr. ( If they were expecting it to happen, then it would be no surprise.)

    If Mosley was surprised by the outcome, it means he was probably expecting a different outcome. That's not merely my perception and it's not rocket science either!

    Are you saying then that the judges always get it right?

    Have there never been decisions where the judges were out to lunch, for whatever reason?

    I need to refute that you think you KNOW what people really mean or think? :huh

    Why? All you've said is you know what Mosley's dad REALLY MEANT? That's just your opinion. I'm not a mind reader and neither are you.

    You can sayy all day what you think MOsley's actions meant, but like I said, that's just you.

    Did I say the judges ALWAYS get it right? Obviously they do not. Save the bull**** questions please. We all know they do not.

    In this case, they got it right.

    I never said I KNEW what Mosley's dad was thinking. I said what I believed he was thinking, and that's open for debate.

    You said I had NO CLUE as to what he was thinking. While I won't claim to know with certainty what was in his mind, I certainly have a clue from listening to his words. If you go back to post #62, I said:

    That is where you went overboard. Saying I have no clue from his words, even if you say it three times in the same line, is just false, and that is evident to anyone who can hear and read and think.


    And as for saying all day....

    I have said what I think he meant based on the clues presented. (His words)


    And what about Shane's surprise at the decision?

    You were on much shakier ground there. Could it now be evident to you that surprise indicates something unexpected?

    Your response to Doumb's question indicated a trust in the expertise of the judges.

    I wanted to know how far you would trust that expertise, therfore it's not a bull**** question.

    From your response, it appears the judges are 'right' when they see it your way, and (despite the training you mention) wrong when you see it differently.

    And there's nothing necessarily wrong with that viewpoint. I suspect that's how most fans view things.
