Reason:

This is weird, because in reflection I agree with pro that Steve /can/ defeat Anderson Silva. The content of the debate did not quite reflect this. Inside the debate it was treated as Steve is guaranteed to win. Con even insisted a tie would favor con, and pro acknowledged this with outright quotations but did not challenge it... Something being a tie means it would be close, which would usually mean things could go to either side.

The problem is that pro tried to treat it as basically a truism that Steve would obliterate Anderson Silva. He supported this pretty well with Steve apparently destroying walls of diamond instantly without any need for tools, and if things are in his backpack carry basically unlimited weight (con's defense on that of Steve's inability to otherwise actually lift things was a pretty good showcase of his weird limits). When Steve's punching not being so good against even skeletons was raised by con, pro tried special pleading about how those skeletons must be awesome to Steve's level; which I don't see any proof of as opposed to Steve just not being that amazing at punching non-inanimate objects. In contrast Anderson Silva's fighting skill was shown to be superior on every level, including punching faster and from angles that Steve would not be able to defend against; particularly if Steve were knocked down, which seemed very likely based on the in debate analysis, even if opponents he is used to fighting have failed to do so.
