Re: Ron_Paul and Thor. I post my plays before the event, never claim that I won when the plays lost, and often admit to some of my plays being terrible. What I don't do, is run around the forum trying to boost my own ego by proclaiming how great I am for taking Jones at ridiculous prices, or for "being the only one that sees how the books fixed the Jones/Gus fight despite line movement and despite the fight being expected to end ITD." Would quote you and argue your specific points, but I don't respect either of you, so it's not worth my time.
You make a lot of assumptions, one of which is that there's a clear interpretation.
Fightmetric (which, for the purposes of this conversation, I will mention I think is unreliable in their landed strikes stats, and probably their thrown strikes stats too) had Barao throwing 33 significant strikes, which is more than he threw in any round against Michael McDonald. That itself is not proof of anything because, again, I think that Fightmetric's stats are very poor, but I myself in no way thought that Barao "threw so few punches". I thought he was pretty active throughout the round and that was clear to see.
Your argument uses a lot of starting points which you take for granted, and which I think are false. If we disagree on those, we're arguing about two entirely different things.
