But there was enough anecdotal evidence that the Nevada commission in 2006 adopted regulations that call for 8-ounce gloves in fights 147 pounds or smaller, and 10-ounce gloves for anything above that. In the 11 years since, that has been the rule. Until Wednesday, there had been no exceptions. But tickets and pay-per-view had to be sold.

McGregor himself predicted the smaller gloves would make the night even easier for him. “I believe now that gloves are eight ounces, I don’t believe he makes it out of the second round,” McGregor said. “I do not see him absorbing the blows in the first two rounds.” Most in boxing scoff at that, saying the size of the gloves would matter only if they were both forced to fight in 4-ounce UFC gloves that are open past the knuckle. There’s also a school of thought that smaller gloves will actually help May- weather by making his hands even quicker. But by allowing smaller gloves, commission members did more than just try to lure a few more people to Las Vegas next week. They made a deci- sion that, in theory at least, could affect the outcome of the fight. samoa news, Friday, August 18, 2017 Page B3

Throw into the mix Elijah Walker, the third-ranked junior college safety last season, and some think Kansas State could have the best secondary in the Big 12 — perhaps even the nation. “I’ve seen it all happen, the good and the bad,” said Shelley, who burned his red- shirt as a freshman in 2015 when injuries forced him onto the field. “Really for us as a unit as well, we went from nobody respecting us to, ‘Wow, our unit is getting some love and respect we deserve.’ We knew we deserved it.” Now it’s time to keep it. Things started promis- ingly enough for Kansas State last season, holding Stanford in check in the opener on the road and shutting down Florida Atlantic and Missouri State. But concerns arose when Skylar Howard threw for 298 yards in West Virginia’s comeback vic- tory, and they had a full-scale problem the following two games against Texas Tech and Oklahoma. First-round draft pick Pat- rick Mahomes II torched the Wildcats for 504 yards and two touchdowns, while the Sooners’ Baker Mayfield had 346 yards and four TDs passing in a 38-17 rout. The key is to prevent a sim- ilar downturn this season. “When you have a decent number of returning starters and returning players, the gen- eral public will probably say if you have a lot of people coming back then you will have an even better football team,” Snyder said. “We were pretty decent at the end of the season last year, so there is great expectation. “There is nothing wrong with that. That is great,” he con- tinued. “The key element is you have to do something about it.

MAN QUESTIONS HIS DATING STYLE AFTER BEING CHEATED ON TWICE DEAR ABBY: I have been in two relationships. The fi rst was with a girl a couple of years older than I am. We were together for several years before she cheated on me and dumped me. I was crushed. The next girl was a few years younger. She did the same thing after we were together a year. What am I doing wrong? Fidelity is important to me, and they both knew it from the start. How can I avoid this in the future?I have never been a controlling person. I was always fi ne with my girlfriends going out with their friends without me if I couldn’t go for some reason. (That’s how they ended up meeting the other guys.)The people in lasting relationships I’ve seen watch each other like hawks, and never allow their signifi cant other to be in the company of the opposite sex without them. Is this normal? Should I be like them? That seems controlling, but clearly, my “no boundaries” relationship style has backfi red on me. -- CHEATED ON IN NEW YORK CITY DEAR CHEATED ON: Few things can ruin a relationship or a marriage like obsessive jealousy can. Watching one’s partner “like a hawk” is stifl ing. It will eventually drive the person away, as you will see as you continue to observe the couples you have mentioned. Please don’t try to change the person you are because YOU are just fi ne. I believe that in relationships there has to be a certain amount of responsibility. If someone is mature enough to be involved romantically, that person should be willing to admit if things aren’t working out. Being cheated on is painful, and being dumped is equally so. Not every relationship leads to marriage, but rather than sneak around to avoid a frank conversation, it’s better to practice the Golden Rule. DEAR ABBY: I am in a predicament. My therapist is great, but sometimes I think she shares too much. Last time I went, she was running late. When I fi nally got into her offi ce, she told me the pre- vious patient was nonverbal and had painted her nails during the session. Later in the session, she confi ded that years ago she had been date raped. Abby, I am in counseling because my father raped me when I was 15 (I am now 24). Her sharing has me worried because I don’t want her telling others what I say or do during counseling. Further, her story of the date rape scared me. She described a situation that is not uncommon for me to be in, and it caused something almost like a fl ashback in me. I think what she did was insensitive, to say the least.I have nobody else to ask, so what should I do? I’m getting counseling for free now due to my income, and it took months to get set up with a counselor. Should I report her or accept that this was a mistake and say nothing? If I need to report her, how would I go about doing that? -- CONFLICTED ABOUT IT DEAR CONFLICTED: You should change therapists because it appears this one has more prob- lems than you do. As to what agency you should report her breach of professional ethics to, contact the state organization that has licensed her to practice. samoa news, Friday, August 18, 2017 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Friday, August 18, 2017
