The gemara tries to establish what type of claims each of the sides had in the cases mentioned in the mishna.  Were they each claiming definite claims or was one side’s claim a doubtful one.  The new perek starts with an argument between Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Shimon about a shor tam who attacks 4 or 5 times in a row.  Who gets paid what?  Then the gemara tries to establish the logic of their arguments and how they fit in with the broader approaches of Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Yishmael regarding whether the owner of the damaged one has rights to the animal who caused the damaged or not.
