I don't think anyone here expected Donaire to lose, but it turns out the opposite happened. We thought Santiago would be a good match for Donaire's target to KO his opponent, but Santiago has matured and knows how to play the game well. He clearly knew how to beat Donaire, resulting in a unanimous decision win.
What can I say, I guess it's time for Donaire to hang up his gloves. He is already old, and it's evident he doesn't have the same activity he had in the past. To think that Santiago isn't even a top contender, and he still defeated Donaire via UD, that's enough to conclude his boxing journey is over.
Congratulations to Santiago! It was a good win for him, and now he is the champion.
It's just that Donaire can't pull the trigger anymore and yup nobody expected (at least we Filipinos) of this outcome. Santiago is ranked lower then in the minds of an ordinary fans, this fight is one that would make Donaire look good in the ring and once again break another record but turned out that this could be the end of his colorful career, nothing to be ashamed of and nothing else to prove so yeah, it's time to hang up the gloves for good. Congrats to those who back Santiago, very juice odds. Nobody surely saw that coming and we can somehow tell from the odds that most of the bettors were putting their money towards Donaire to win, which is very reasonable as how could we go against him against a boxer that is not yet making any name in the industry and haven't got a good fight. Well, after this, safe to say that his rankings will improve a lot because defeating Donaire is such a great achievement. |

There are many list of meme coin who are constantly trying to catch big crypto investors but in short investing in meme coin is risky and more loss than when you hold meme coin for long time to get rich quick. Because big investors of meme coin will never wait for more profit and they will sell all tokens when they get dream profits.
Still risky for me mate, whether if it's for short term or long term investments, meme coins are still the most unpredictable coins in the market. It couldn't get better than that. Sure it can make you rich quickly if you are able to ride the wave on time but that as well is a mystery because nobody knows when it will move again unless you are one of those whales who are partly the reason for its movement. Of course you got a choice to make if you're only inclined in investing towards these coins but for me, Dogecoin will be the best option among the other coins in the market now. |

The first reason why you can never be rich is too much responsibilities, carrying family problems on your head which we all know family problems are always around the corners and can't be totally eliminated. The best help to offer family is to put yourself in a better financial position, don't struggle to help family, struggle to put yourself in a better financial position then take away your from dependency. How do you take them away from dependency? If you have a company or business you are running or a connection, you can connect your family members to your friends let them work for them so that they can earn their own money or you have a business you are running, they can work for you to earn their own money. As long as their is still dependency they will continue to depend on you and demand from you.
This should be phrased differently so people don't misunderstand your point. Your family problems aren't yours but you can help them if you can. Yes, helping doesn't mean giving money, and yes it will be best if you can give them work instead. However, that's when we talk about family members that are still in productive age. What about your parents for example, what do we do if they need money for medications, etc.? So there's no general rule for this thing, each should be treated based on the case. By ignoring them, you may or may not become rich, but one outcome is certain, that is you'll have no family. Managing this issue is important so they won't depend on you every time, and on the other hand, you still have a good relationship with them. People have been having the same problems and it is not that new anymore because family problems will always be with you as you grow, and it's just it is getting harder as you become older because responsibilities will also grow along with you. Now, you may or may not help your family, that is your choice because I don't think that it is our responsibility either as we are not born in this world to help them but as a human, it's just hard to neglect that and that is why it seems like it is our responsibility even if there is no written rule for that. Remember that is much better if you have a family to depend on, not financially, but someone to run on. My advise would be, help yourself first because you cannot help others if you yourself is not yet on the position. Just like building a house and stacking bricks to build a wall, you cannot finish your house if you will always give those bricks for them. But that's just situational because we all have our own different choice to make. |

Bleach Report; The worst contracts in the NBA.
1)Bradley Beal (4 Years 208 Million Dollars)
2)Ben Simmons(2 Years 78 Million Dollars)
3)Duncan Robinson(3 Years 57.4 Million Dollars)
4)Rudy Gobert(3 Years 131.5 Million Dollars)
5)KAT(5 Years 271 Million Dollars)
I agree with all of them except Duncan Robinson.
I think Ben Simmons has the worst contract. This contract is too much for him. I don't think Ben Simmons will ever get these contracts again.
I understand that Ben Simmons's agent is trying to hype him that he is already battle ready and posting some photos in the social media about how serious he is while putting up the work in his body but the thing is, they have been saying that for I think 2-3 seasons now, yet he is still failing every step along the way. I think the biggest reason why they are doing this is they want to get another contract but the trouble about that is that nobody in the league is interested on him anymore. The man is just a defensive player and nothing else, cannot even shoot a ball in a simple lay-up. |

I think his career is totally over now since we can't see a furious Donaire as same as before. Age is showing up and that's the reason why he keep losing to much younger opponents.
I hope his wife will tell him that, he is listening to his wife and also a fighter herself for a boxer the last to give up is the mind and the heart, on this match his speed and power are not there anymore I hope he and his family will see this fight and decide to give up, we all want Donaire to have a graceful exit but two successive losses where he is badly beaten is not a motivation to continue, he is multiple champions, it has been a great journey after he won the title against Vic Darchinyan with a one-punch, fifth-round knockout (KO), the best time is now we don't want him to get badly injured in his next fight. Yes, him and his wife should have a sit down and maybe it's time for Nonito to give up his boxing and maybe focus on other things. Not sure though if Nonito has contract with Richard Schaefer. And if he has then maybe just 1 fight in the contract and that's it for Nonito. Really hard to see Nonito in this stage, we thought that he is still the stronger, faster, but it seems his timing is off here and Santiago found a chink in his armor that's why he has a good time hitting Donaire and constructing his face after the time. This time, that will surely happen where they will discuss their future together while leaving the boxing industry for good. Donaire already had a good run during his career and there is nothing left for him to prove that again. Time for him to pass the torch to his fellow countrymen who are still active in the business. I deeply understand that he wanted to be a champion again before making an exit because certainly, that is the dream of every boxer with a smile on their face while giving a testament that they will hang their gloves. It's just that he was a bit too late because he got no time left to make it happen. |

Crawford stop Spence in the 9th round in what could be considered a one-sided match
I am very much shocked. After all the trashtalk and the hype, we have witnessed who is the real king of welterweight boxing. Safe to say that it is not just you mate  Specially that 2nd round knockdown, fans around the world were surely hype after what happened in that round and even the audience watching the fight up close cannot hide their reaction because it was the very first time where we witnessed Errol Spence Jr. being knocked down in his whole professional career. We can see how serious Crawford was on that fight, in fact it was the first time too that I saw him very serious which made him much more stronger and more accurate even if there's not much space during their clash. Yet he still managed to pull another knock down in Round 7, twice. |

I don't think securing Visas to go and watch the FIFA World Cup that'll be hosted by Canada/Mexico/United States in 2024 by fans would be an issue for fans across the globe.
During the FIFA World Cup tournaments, there's provision of a special Visa for fans to the host country or countries and such Visa expires immediately at the World Cup is over. So any fan who has that kind of Visa to the host country is considered an illegal migrant at the expiration of the tournament.
That might be true for some nations, but not for all nations. Like for example if an Argentina wants to go there, do you think they will have the same chance of getting the visa as an English person? Doesn't matter how much money they have, just assume that they have the same amount of money in the bank and showed everything the same, would they still be getting equal chances? Think of a big nation, like England, France, Germany, Spain etc etc, and then think of a smaller nation, like Argentina, Nigeria, Egypt etc etc, do you think they all have the same chance of getting the visa? The big ones will have easier time, the smaller nations will have some trouble and that's why I believe that it is going to be tough for some people. I agree. Reality isn't always fair and I think by this time we already know that and accept the fact that it is not equal in almost everything. Each nation have its own advantage and disadvantage and in this instance that Northern American countries will host the event, countries that belong to the 2nd world countries and 3rd world countries will undergo a much stricter screening with more requirements before they are given the visa to be a tourist or watch the specific event. Compared to the first world countries where passport will suffice and they are the ones who actually have an advantage to an event like this because they can go inside and out with such ease and comfort. |

But don't forget the Ngannou early finishes market tho. Have a feeling he'll touch Fury's chin at R1.
The odds would probably be like x100 if he manages to KO Fury in round one. We know he is a KO machine, but that's too much to expect because Fury is not a careless boxer, and he also knows how to stand up when knocked down. Well, we can never know; this is boxing, and Ngannou has the power to KO an opponent, so it's worth taking the risk if you are going to bet. The odds would be x100? If that were really the case then point me a bookie where they offer Ngannou to win via KO at R1 with those odds.  That would def be a sweet deal and a super +EV bet. And if ever there was such a line, I don't think it would last more than a few hours before the sharps start putting some money in and cause the line to move... Haha certainly! I feel you because I would definitely bet on that specific line if in case something like that will be listed by the sports bookies. Although it's quite impossible to think that there would be a x100 odds but I reckon that somehow it would be around x20 to x30 to KO Fury in Round 1 because it's no wonder anymore that bookies will list Francis Ngannou as an underdog because first and foremost, he will fight Tyson Fury in a game where the latter have more experience, professionally. |

@Kelvinid. Those are very accurate odds after the performance we have witnessed from Inoue against Fulton, I reckon. I have become convinced on the Japanese fighter. Inoue is like the young Pacman but with more knockout power in his hands.
I agree, he might not reach 8 division title as Pacman, but the way he is destroying everything that in his path, it's like Pacman when he was in the beginning of his career specially at lower weights. And Inoue can make another history, for Japan and then having won the unified title in bantamweight and super bantamweight in the 4 belt era. However, he will be the first boxer in the history of the sport to be a unified champion in 2 weight divisions if he is victorious against Marlon Tapales. After this, it might be 3 unified championships if he again moves up to featherweight. Who are the big names there? I reckon all of the featherweight champions can be beaten by Inoue. There's no Featherweight champion that can match Inoue's power there's this thing circulating in social media on Fan Page boxing page, that matches Inoue to Tank Davis, only 13 lbs set them apart, they have the same reach and they have the same height, they can go for it in a catchweight, it will be a huge attraction both fighters have speed, power, skill, and charisma, I'm sure some promoters are thinking to match these two great warriors in the ring. I do not want to see this fight if Tank will be a little pussycat again and put various clauses in the contract to make the opponent weak when he goes to the ring. Tank does not want legacy, he only wants easy fights and money. Besides, it's too soon to discuss that because we don't even know if Inoue will make the weight of a lightweight boxer and moreover, I don't think that Tank will meet Inoue in a junior lightweight bout considering that he only wants a fight where he does have a chance and definitely have the advantage over the opposite camp. Just like what he did to Ryan Garcia for making ridiculous clauses that only him is entitled. |

Going to the big event tomorrow this is the result of the poll for this super fight
Terrence "Bud" Crawford - 24 (88.9%)
Errol "The Truth" Spence - 3 (11.1%)
Draw - 0 (0%)
Total Voters: 27
They have their final face-off both fighters did not trash talk each other, from all the boxing events this year this one is by far the most exciting because we have three great fights in this event, The Donaire - Santiago title match, the Isaac Pitbull - Cabrera match and the much awaited Crawford - Spence fight, I hope we can watch this fight, I'll be early to check the live feed on social media.
Even outside the forum, Crawford is still the heavy favorite. There have been rumors before that it was Spence who was ducking Crawford, so in the minds of the fans, Crawford is the better boxer. Additionally, if we look at Crawford's boxing record, all of his previous fights have ended in knockouts, so he would be breaking that streak if he does not win here via knockout. Personally, I believe that Spence is strong, but I like Crawford to win by KO because the odds are very attractive. I noticed that, as well, Crawford still shows as favorite with how bookies place the odds. Personally, it will be a tough fight for both fighters, but the winner will be the one who is much hunger for unifying the belts and really wanted that fame to be declared as the best fighter from this division. We will witness who's going to win and claimed all the belts when the announcer declared the name of the winner of this match. Yes, it's hard to deny that Crawford is really getting all the votes from the people inside and outside this forum and honestly, it doesn't surprise me anymore because even before this fight has been made, I already know that Crawford will get the people's pulse. Not because of his story that he was fooled on their first negotiation but because people believed that he is a better boxer compared to Spence who acquired three belts beforehand. Now for the final question, will Crawford able to make it straight into a reality and be the strongest in the welterweight division? Or most of us here are wrong about him and we might've underestimated the underdog who prolonged the fight. |

According to Shams the NBA has warned Damian Lillard and his agent that if they make any more comments about Damn only wanting to play for the Miami Heat then they would be, “subject to discipline.” I think this shows that Portland isn’t exactly set on sending Dame where he wants to go. Dame ending up unhappy on an obscure team might be the surprise of the offseason.
I guess they're just tired of seeing and reading those statements that they're too vulgar on where Dame wants to go together with his agents. Honestly, these trades should have just been kept private until it's done but anyway. These are also where these personalities are earning through the info that they release to the public. It seems that this trade hasn't happened yet. The league made Dame release a statement saying he would give any team he plays for his full effort. Know info Damian Lillard I’m sure that’s true. Still, it’s funny that he had to release a statement to avoid getting himself caught up in fines. I question whether the league will let him go to Miami. It has Chris Paul to the Lakers vibes. It gonna be a matter of time until we see some real updates about his transfer or if there will really be a transfer being allowed by the Blazers. This is taking so long honestly. So it's like that letting Dame give some statement and then later on, the league itself does want to fine him if he does continue to say on which team he wants to play. Regarding about Dame's trade talks that are still going on up until this point in time, I don't think that the NBA itself is actually serious about that warning they issued towards Dame and his agent instead they are just putting some pressure to make the trade happen because it's taking too long to be honest. Aside from that, it got me thinking that what if the Portland Trail Blazers doesn't want the trade? That they are just assuming that they are interested towards it, like this and that, but in the first place, they are just making an announcement that Dame wants it but it is the franchise who doesn't want to let go. |

So the risk is there as the fight goes longer for him and for Santiago he might want to prolong the fight and test Nonito's stamina.
It's the right strategy to be made, considering Donaire is older now; he might slow down as the fight goes longer. However, that's a big task for Santiago, as he needs to prevent the heavy punches of Donaire. Since Donaire is a counter-punching guy, the fight might be boring if he does not engage. I don't see a scenario that will give the fans enjoyment, but if it's the strategy, then there's nothing we can do but watch. In the era that we are in now, boxers are much more interested to have the belts by having the much easier routes without involving themselves in a toe-to-toe confrontation fights which the fans wanted as that is much more entertaining. Some of these boxers now are not really inclined to be named as one of the strongest boxers in their era because boxing industry nowadays became more and more business instead of an entertainment sport. That said, it's understandable if Santiago will resort into a boring fight where he will just fight to survive and will settle for the points instead because confronting and challenging Donaire is not really a good idea because only few managed to do that and had a successful run afterwards. Keeping up with him is another thing, so most probably, Santiago will start his gameplan in the mid rounds. |

Source: https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/stephen-fulton-posts-reaction-following-naoya-inoue-loss/10j0j4pso5rsx15754a8n9vdeuIn spite of everything, what I have said is what he wants, a simple and good revenge, worthy of someone like Fulton, for now what they are going to concentrate on, I am sure it will be the fights that are coming for Inoue It is something exciting because the fighters in this category are going to want to measure themselves against him, in part they must be quite curious, because a new boxer in the category and he does these things, it is something that I like a lot , this makes the category more dynamic. I am sure that when Inoue achieves his goals here, he will continue to grow and search for a new category, for me this Inoue is like a genius of the sport. Fulton's reaction to this loss seems kind of poor to me. He is not giving any credit to Inoue and instead only talks about himself. If he thinks he deserves a rematch then he is delusional. He didn't win a single round. Inoue has nothing to prove and should just move on. It wasn't that Fulton had an off night as he claims, it's just that Inoue is superior in every way imaginable. Fulton should instead focus on rematching Brandon Figueroa since that was a controversial decision that deserves a second fight. Yeah, it really haven't sink in to his skull that a Asian boy beat his ass to the ground, knock him out and he can't bounce back. Not very sportsman like coming for Stephen Fulton. And that's why a slew of fans are on a offensive on him, even his own fans saying that he should move on because they know he can bounce back but at least give credit where credit is due, that is he lost to Inoue. Now, moving forward for Inoue, he is looking for Tapales, and at a very young age, he is setting a record that might not be duplicated. To become a 4 belt champion in 2 division. And who knows where he is going to stop. Maybe at 126 lbs, he can still continue and dominant as if it is still the bantamweight division. Fulton can believe what he wants, but the fans are not blind. We saw how he was dominated by Inoue in every round. He should just accept his defeat, move on, and try to become a champion again. Alternatively, he can go to the Bantamweight division and try to fight Donaire, but I think he will suffer the same fate, as Donaire is a hard-hitting boxer as well. If he cannot accept defeat, then I doubt he will become a champion again. He seems to lack the explosiveness and willingness to improve, making him susceptible to easy losses. Steph Fulton's only choice is to move on and make a new beginning at the featherweight division because that is his only option, he is not that thin to fit at a lower division like the bantamweight division where he indeed have a chance except fighting another Asian boxer. It's his time to accept and vacate junior feather and fight Figueroa up next, but that is if the latter will give him that chance because he surely need to have a redemption fight first. |

Now the question will pop out. Will this affect the future of Bronny, especially in a long-term position? Sure he has his father to back him up to be signed in teams where he has power but there will be doubts after this.
In terms of which team would sign him, I'm sure they'll consider the implications and take measures to protect their investment. So, there's nothing to worry about on their side. I'm more concerned about Bronny being able to play in the NBA, as it has always been his father's dream to play with his son. Well, hopefully what happen is not a hindrance to his goal in the NBA. Bronny James still have some time to recover and be in his best fit as possible knowing that his father, LeBron James, will do everything just to make their dreams into reality by hiring the best team to surround his son just to make him play as soon as possible. It could be a few couple of months before he can play again in the court with the USC Trojans but I doubt that what happened to him recently will affect his future towards the 2024 NBA Draft. About that, let's just hope for the better and that Bronny will not suffer the same scenario again because it's not about being fit because if it's about that, he shouldn't be suffering from it as he's already fit. Heart diseases creeps you in the most unexpected times and you cannot ever prepare for that. Take for example Damar Harlin of the Buffalo Bills, he also suffered the same thing and worse it did happened to him in the middle of an NFL game. |

Yes, recently, sports newspapers all have information about Saudi Professional League. They're creating a craze for super blockbuster deals, First Ronaldo, then they asked Messi but no success. And now comes the young striker Kylian Mbappe with the most expensive contract of all time, surpassing the amount that PSG ever paid for Neymar. Assuming Mbappe agrees to this contract, this is also a very successful tournament for Saudi Arabia. They are borrowing good players to boost their league. Of course, the players come here for the money. There will be no significant titles in this arena.
If everything could be solved with money, then the Saudi Professional League would be flooded with star players .... Luckily that didn't actually happen  . I think it is very unlikely that Mbappe will go to the Saudi Professional League because I'm sure that Mbappe still has big ambitions for his football career. There are rumors that Mbappe has struck a deal with Real Madrid and will move there once he becomes a free agent. And indeed Kylian Mbappe rejected that offer from Al-Hilal to play in the Saudi League for just 1 year, it was a whopping offer that can make him super rich but Mbappe still found the courage to reject it. I'd say that it's good for him because he truly have the balls and courage to achieve much further in Europa Leauge and it shows that he got some plans and ambition that is why he is not yet leaving but this time, there is a strong chance that he will be in Real Madrid. |

Here is my conclusion: Miss. Nabor Herrera was not happy with the $1 million reward (she will get around half of that after deducting the federal and state income tax) and wanted the entire pie to her own. She was hoping that if by chance the real winner doesn't come up, then she can claim the win for herself. Everyone is talking about the other scenario, that she just want to get some media publicity. But personally I think there is more to it. She is trying to cheat Powerball and want to pocket the $1.080 billion reward using unfair means.
Nabor Herrera is a man and has no relation to the woman who was filmed celebrating. The woman in the video has not been identified so it is not clear why she did this but it was the store owners who called her out as a fraud and said she was looking for attention. In a recent article that I've read, Nabor Herrera was already presented a million dollar check on July 19 and it was also said that the winner is not yet showing his/her shadow, and so it's not really clear if that woman in the video was really the winner or was it just a coincidence that is why the press thought that she was the poweball jackpot winner. And here's what I found interesting because it looks like that there are more winners to this specific ticket; Not only was the winning ticket sold in Los Angeles, but seven other winning tickets were sold in California matching five of the winning numbers. Those tickets were sold at the following locations: Speedway: 14360 Francisquito Avenue, La Puente, CA 91746 7-Eleven: 2620 South Lake Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 7-Eleven: 3555 West Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90004 7-Eleven: 1590 Franklin Street, Santa Clara, CA 95050 Safeway: 4950 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94112 Mobil: 17011 Lassen Street, Northridge, CA 91325 Steve's Liquors: 583 West Tennyson Road, Hayward, CA 94544 Source: https://www.foxla.com/news/powerball-jackpot-downtown-la-store-owner-reacts-to-selling-winning-ticket |

Agribusiness will always boom, especially if you're a large-scale farmer. Huge companies will want you to supply for them, and you basically can just expand with the contracts that you'll get from these huge companies. If you're a small-scale farmer, you can still create your own products out of the produce that you deem to be not fit in hitting the markets. You can get the scraps off of these harvests and create other products that you can sell for a profit.
There's just a lot of potential to branch out if you have an agribusiness, though it's not always a 'green' investment as acts of nature such as storms or severe flooding can render your crops useless. It's a grind that requires a lot of work, but is worth it in the long run.
Right indeed. Agribusiness has definitely a lot of advantage not only for the family that own it but even to those neighborhood that can also benefit it in times of huge production. While this can be a perfect business for a country not to fall from recession, but I just think this is still not enough. My country is certainly in agribusiness but still, as much as I can say, it’s still close to its economy downfall. |

I'm not sure how true that statement is, but it's an idea that has a low probability of coming true. Politicians back bitcoin because they want to get a lot of support from the community, that wouldn't be too surprising. Perhaps this idea is a bit unreasonable because the president does not work alone in making decisions, so even if this plan is implemented, the plan may change due to government pressure.
Perhaps this politician is only using bitcoin for the sake of his campaign. He knew that bitcoin creates freedom for everyone so he’ll hype it even more so that the citizens will start to side him and forget about other presidential candidates. But even so, even if this candidate will take an edge on the result of the election, I guess siding bitcoin and implement it in the government will not be easy as it is. A lot of politicians are still against on bitcoin so it’s hard for him to realize his promise to the citizens when there are still government pressures that he should face all alone. |

How about keeping it simple, but when there is dip or buy when you have funds for it or buy using the DCA method, hodl for long and sell off when your profits target is reached.
I believe this tips is much easier and safer for newbie coming into cryptocurrency just for investment purposes. The only reason for going into deep crypto learning is when you want to be a regular trader. Because you need those knowledge of technical analysis and fundamental analysis
That is the most basic strategy when it comes to hodling crypto, buy low and sell high. If you stick to it, you will still be profitable in due time. However, if you decide to be more profitable by engaging yourself in trading, well you have to knowledgeable and skillful at the same time. And by being good in technical analysis, which I think is very important when you trade, you will have an advantage in trading aside from those mindset and attitude that a good trader should possess. |

I would say that those days and nights I have spent studying the forum have started to paid off these days because aside from the signature campaigns that are giving me decent income, my investments at some point are also starting to paid off especially if I’ll sell them when the market turns to bullish. And with this approaching halving, I guess my investments will definitely give me huge profits by then. So all of these will be nothing without the help of this forum in the first place.
