That example is entirely and completely different, though. Did the boxer's waiver explain that the boxer WILL likely be attacked by a spectator? No, of course not! His waiver explained that ANOTHER boxer will be attacking him, and in the ring!

The waiver you sign at a ski resort explains that stuff like this will happen. Like I said, they only directly prove that, but I guarantee the lawyer can effectively use it as a part of the defense's case.

As for finding two witnesses, I'd agree it wouldn't be that difficult... if it'd happened fairly recently. But it's been almost a year. I highly, highly doubt anybody will remember it anymore, much less be even locatable.
The example is entirely relevant because it only covers liability on the part of the boxer.  An agreement between two parties is not enforceable upon a third party. 

The contract (waiver) between the resort and individual is irrelevant.  It would only be relevant if the man decided to attempt to sue the resort for some bizarre reason and this isn't the case here.
I think he's complaining that your example (spectator gets into the ring and injures boxer) is much less forseeable than the actual incident (two novice skiers sharing a course collide).

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
