  "story": "A ram muay is taught and belongs to a gym, so a Thai watching can often place the camp from it. Beyond that, three things are worth watching for: whether the fighter takes his time or rushes it; whether his balance holds on one leg through the slow parts; and whether he is looking at the other corner while he does it.\n\n*Inference —* the first tells you about his nerves, the second about his base, and the third about whether he has decided the fight is his already."

  "story": "รำมวยเป็นสิ่งที่ถูกสอนและเป็นของค่าย คนไทยที่ดูอยู่จึงมักบอกค่ายได้จากการรำ นอกจากนั้นมีสามอย่างที่ควรดู เขารำช้าหรือรีบ ทรงตัวบนขาเดียวได้นิ่งไหมในช่วงช้า และเขามองไปที่มุมตรงข้ามระหว่างรำหรือเปล่า\n\n*อนุมาน —* ข้อแรกบอกเรื่องประสาท ข้อสองบอกเรื่องฐาน และข้อสามบอกว่าเขาตัดสินใจไปแล้วหรือยังว่าไฟต์นี้เป็นของเขา"
