^^ Yes, saw this posts, not sure if the words comes directly from Donaire's mouth, but in any case, yes, I think I would say that 90% of the current 118 lbs, Donaire can beat them, not name Naoya Inoue.

So just a couple more days, between the two, and hopefully we will see some hype in the media as well as this is very important fight because WBC will have a new bantamweight champion in the process.
1162  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Oscar Valdez vs Emmanuel Navarette - Aug 12 on: July 10, 2023, 01:03:26 PM
This is a really exciting matchup. These fighters styles are made for each other. Several years ago some people were saying that Valdez vs. Berchelt would be fight of the year but it did not live up to the hype. This time I believe it will be different because Navarrete can take a punch very well. Valdez doesn't have the best resistance but he will always keep coming forward and throwing punches even when he has been hurt. It is hard for me to predict a winner because they are evenly matched. Navarrete has less wear and tear but Valdez has greater experience. I think it will be a close fight and we might possibly see a rematch and a trilogy.

It's a taylor made fight for each other and that's why majority thinks that this is going to be a very exciting and it's going to be a war. Navarette can take a punch but we all know that Wilson put him down, so the aura of his chin is broken. As compare to Valdez who has a great fight against Berchelt and he shows his technical skills in there. That is a big possibility that there will be a rematch or trilogy and could be book just like the other great rivalry in Mexican boxer like MAB against Erik Morales or maybe Manny against JMM.
1163  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte II on: July 10, 2023, 12:29:24 PM
Joshua has a big burden in his head and that is

Eddie Hearn admits Anthony Joshua will lose proposed mega-fight with Deontay Wilder - and a £60MILLION payday - if he fails to beat Dillian Whyte next month

If we all remember Joshua in his first fight in the US should have fought Baby Miller until a huge issue with Miller came out so Hearns got Andy Ruiz as the replacement and the rest is history, he not only lose all his titles to Ruiz but he loses a mega fight with the then WBC champion Wilder, and hopefully history will not repeat here, Dillian last fight is against Fury, he did announce that was his last fight, but this is a fight that hard to decline he could be the spoiler and could eventually the one fighting Wilder.

There was a story that promoters don't want him to fight Whyte and they all want to just go straight to the Wilder fight but Joshua wants to have a fight with Whyte before going against Wilder, this is a very risky fight for Joshua and this could end his career.

I wouldn't say it's going to be a burden though, if anything here, it should motivate him to finished and win the fight against Whyte so that him and Wilder can face each other this December or maybe early next year for one of the biggest purse, so big paycheck for both of them.

He should learn from his past mistakes, although he has been a very different boxer after he lost to Ruiz in the first fight that you mentioned. It's all going to be psychological for Joshua against Whyte. Maybe what he can think of is that he already beat Dillian the first time so he can do it again and not underestimating because if could derail him fight against Wilder.

Its a motivation but more of a burden, I have seen boxers taking what seems to be a fight preparation for a much bigger paycheck only to lose decisively or by upsets like Tyson to Douglas and Tommy Morisson to Michael Bent both Tyson and Morisson got knocked out for what experts expect should be an easy fight for these two heavy favorites.

Of course Joshua is the favorite here but Whyte could be a serious spoiler, what he has got to lose, against a guy who could potentially lose everything, I'm sure Joshua is thinking of those scenarios and he's hoping to win decisively and I'm sure Wilder is also hoping, both Wilder and Joshua want and need each other for a huge comeback of their respective career.

As far as the odds goes, it seems that Joshua is a huge favorite here, ML 1.15 Whyte at 4.70. And then the Over/Under round is 9.5.

So great odds so far specially the Over/Under. However, if we are talking about upsets, then it's possible if Joshua is going to underestimate Whyte or not training hard and not taking his opponent seriously as in the case of Tyson vs Douglas. Perhaps it was the same case with Morrison against Michael Bentt, sad thing is that Morrison was winning the fight until he was hit with a right, it could be just a lucky shot, but Bentt win the fight in 2 rounds. So Joshua here shouldn't overlook Whyte and not get ahead of his supposedly fight with Wilder next.
1164  Economy / Speculation / Re: Just how bad is the bear demand right now on: July 09, 2023, 09:13:32 PM
Just looking back though, the OP created this thread at the beginning of the year. Of course last November 2022 we have the lowest low, the bottom price at $15,500. So maybe the OP is just ranting or that's what the prevalent sentiments that time. Although at the end of January we have a upswing of like 40%++ so that is huge already that time.

But we continue, hard and grind and very painful and slow uptrend in the next six months or so. But after that look at where we at today, we've double what's the bottom price of this bear market. And we can say that the bear market is not that bad after all as it has given us time to accumulate and at the same time the experience specially for newbies could be eye opening. But at least with just another six months or more, we are going to survived it as we have the block halving and then the eventual bull run. So for everyone? just hang on tight.
1165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: July 09, 2023, 09:01:42 PM
However, if you are just looking for the underdog bet, regardless on who will it be or what fight it is then Santiago ML will be enough, just saying.
That's suicidal thinking. Knowing Donaire, I'm sure he still has a lot to offer and can dominate the division. Santiago may be younger, but he doesn't possess the skills and experience that Donaire has. If we're just after attractive odds, we should consider going for a KO per round range bet, as most of the time the odds are higher than +200.

I know, I'm just saying though, maybe there could be fans of Alejandro that is willing to take the rest and very happy to see that their boy is the underdog. So I don't think that they will think it as a suicide bet.

Of course, as fans of Donaire on the other hand, we will think that there is no value in betting with Alejandro as we think that Donaire can still pull the trigger and make this fight exciting or dominate it and not let the fight goes to the hands of the judges to score it. Already fight week so for sure majority of us will spare some of our BTC in this fight.

No doubt about that because if we are on their shoes and Nonito Donaire is on the underdog corner, I'd bet that many of us here who are supporting him will be glad that he is listed that way because that will mean that Donaire's odds are juicy and not the other way around. In this fight, it's the opposite though but that is fine by me as I'm not really inclined to bet on ML if my boxer is on the favorite side.

Fair point, because there are really fans that is going to support their fighters no matter what. When Nonito was the underdog against Inoue in the second fight, we didn't hesitate to pull the trigger and beat for him. For sure majority of us are disappointed with the results, but we have to accept it.

And then we are glad to see him fighting again and have a good chance to become a champion as he is the favorite in this fight. So will gladly pull the trigger and will be looking for more juicier odds for a KO win or per round range, or any odds that we think have value in return.
1166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - July 29 on: July 09, 2023, 08:45:07 PM
I thought this fight wouldn't happen because there's no hype about this match in my social medias, even though this is an unification fight. The hype of Tank vs Garcia is way more higher than Crawford vs Spence.


This will happen. There isn't much hype on social media because both fighters are focused on their training, and they aren't trash-talking each other like Garcia does. This kind of fight is what we've been waiting for—a unification bout where it's hard to predict the winner since their skills are almost 50-50.

Don't worry, once the fight begins, all eyes will be focused on it. With both boxers being KO artists, one punch could end the fight.

Right, Tank vs Garcia is very different though, I mean the hype is really huge and PPV reaches more than 1 million. And I remember that we have discussed speculations about how big this fight it in terms of PPV and if I remember it correctly, we did somewhat agree that the numbers could be around 300,000-500,000 buys. But we will see.

It's getting closer, I can sense on some boxing forums that the hype is building already.

I also read some comments of former opponents of this two boxers, like Porter and they have given their own opinions about this fight.

That is quite normal and expected when it comes to big fights like this, famous boxers and analyst will always try and give their own predictions about the outcome of the fight but none of that will matter as even to themselves they cannot predict exactly what will happen to their own fight. So, it all boils down on Crawford and Spence on how will they figure this fight.

Anyway:
Quote
The WBA has made ‘regular’ 147-lb champion Eimantas Stanionis mandatory for the winner of the Errol Spence Jr vs. Terence Crawford fight on July 29th.
https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/07/wba-makes-eimantas-stanionis-mandatory-for-spence-vs-crawford-winner-on-july-29th/

Yes, I think boxers too are fans of other fighters or at least they want to see what will be the outcome of this fight. For instance Porter Jr fought both of this fighters and Kell Brook. So their statement and comments might be valuable because they've experience it first hand, but as the saying goes, style makes fight so it could be different, but at least you can weigh in what this two former boxers have to say.

As far as Eimantas Stanionis he has been waiting for this fight for years, he had a scheduled fight last night but was cancelled because Vergil Ortiz is deems unfit to fight. So I doubt that he will go directly to the winner of Spence vs Crawford, he needs a tune up fight first.

By the way guys, be sure to lock in your bets while we still have more time as the lines might not be the same anymore inside the 48 hours span. Good luck!

Thanks for the reminder, I haven't lock in my bet, and when I check it though, almost all options are now open.

I might look for "Will the fight is going to distance", as the odds are still very attractive to me. Yes at 2.03 and No at 1.70.

I haven't locked my bet in this fight as well unlike the Crawford vs Spence where I already locked in the 1.77 odds because I thought the WBO champion will keep on gaining favor.Cheesy But thanks for the reminder because I realized I am yet to bet on the Donaire-Santiago bout which happens already next week.

I am also looking at the odds if the fight goes the distance or not though I might also take an Inoue ML at 1.30 something. I have confidence the Inoue will win even when this fight goes to the hands of the judges. But of course, I want to see KOs and TKOs. Inoue is yet to fight in this new division and we'll see if he is capable of hurting the top dogs, especially Fulton who already proved his big heart and tough chin after surviving the Figueroa unification bout where he won in a very close debatable decision. Fulton was hurt several times by Figueroa but was able to hold on and was never down once.

On this fight, I have the same thoughts as with you. As I have said, I'm seeing Fulton as trying to get very tough and will want to proved that this is his division. He might run though and will used his boxing IQ and try not to fight toe to toe in the beginning. That Figueroa shows that Fulton too has heart and will not go down easily so let's see if he can do that and last the distance against Inoue here. Yes, lots of fights this July so it's really hard where and who to bet to, maybe a good parlay will do as well.

When someone has a particular wallet which he spends Bitcoins from can he be considered a Bitcoin investor?
Or does the term investor refer only to those who hodl Bitcoin?

Anyone that can profit can be considered as a Bitcoin investor. So if you hold it in your wallet for to long that you can make a profit or there is what we call return of investment.

If you spend your bitcoin then you used it as what is was designed by Satoshi in the beginning, as a payment scheme.

But when I did received a Cloudfare error, I said that the issue was with the forum itself. Maybe we will have to wait a few more minutes to see what's going on from behind.
1170  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will fall or rise? $30400 the recent price on: July 08, 2023, 09:04:47 PM
We should expect more of this fluctuations this period as we are coming across the halving gradually, now that we are inbetween $30,000 and $31,000 indicates that there's likely possibilities to break resistance and hit more high to about $40,000 soon while amidst this will be high volatility on both rise and fall, Which can also mean that there's much expectations that we can arrived $60,000 before the end of this year as well as part of the preparation for the next bullrun for a new all time high against next year.
But you also need to be careful of market price reversals. We won't know when the price will reverse when FUD starts coming. Just need to be vigilant and stick to the strategy you made and make sure to have a backup strategy, it will really help. reaching a price of $40k is already high enough and it will be a strong enough resistance to be broken.

Strategy will have to change as well depending on the price movement. There are speculators though that says that this might be a bull trap or something. However, after the initial burst to $31,000 due to positive news, market is back to $30,000, which by the way is now our biggest support.

So in any case it goes down again because of FUD then we should update our strategy, like buying more and accumulate and HODL. Or just do what we always do, continue with DCA strategy and that's it. No need to complicate things if we are a small investors just like the majority of us.
1171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte II on: July 08, 2023, 08:50:19 PM
This is a good opportunity for Dillian Whyte, as Anthony Joshua has already experienced losses in his career, and he may not be the same fighter he was when he was undefeated. While Dillian Whyte may still be considered the underdog, I am willing to take chances and perhaps even bet on him to level the rivalry. It's possible that we may witness a trilogy for this fight.

Anthony Joshua won in game one which is pretty good to him as we all know that once a fighter win the fight then all he need is to add more agility and techniques in order to maintain the momentum and have a big chance of winning. But dillian whyte will prove to us that he has a good strategy and techniques to counter Anthony Joshua, this rematch is very worthy to watch so let's seatback and relax.

Whyte already lost in their first fight, and as I comment in the other thread, he might not be in his prime already. So this is just a set up fight for AJ to look good in reference to a potential fight with Wilder in December as others say.

I'm not seeing a trilogy though, it's good to see Dillian Whyte fight again, but this is just for the money and Hearn just gave him the opportunity to have another fight and obviously a paycheck to be the opponent for a get busy fight for AJ.
1172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: July 08, 2023, 08:26:35 PM

For Fulton and Inoue, only two weeks to go before their fight night and since this fight has been through some delays, so yes, we can say that both camps are just having some few touch ups so that they will not overtrain and derail from their intended goals. They wouldn't want that for sure and I know that both of them is excited already and excited to have this fight, finally.

Everyone is excited, I'm sure. This is going to be one of the best fights this year, especially for those of us who have followed Inoue's journey. It may not be as popular as the Crawford vs. Spence and Davis vs. Garcia fights, but the kind of intensity we are looking for in a boxing match is here, thanks to Inoue. I hope Fulton coordinates by giving Inoue what he wants, instead of hitting and running around.

There's no need to compare these two to Crawford and Spence's league because they have their own set of fans that will surely watch the fight and for the avid fans out there, both of the fights will surely be an interesting sight to see and it will be a missed chance if we will let this slide as this kind of fights are not happening every year especially in this era.

Yes, but the good thing is that the fight is going to happen the same week, so going to be a great weekends for boxing fans to have to unification fights and fighters are undefeated.

By the way guys, be sure to lock in your bets while we still have more time as the lines might not be the same anymore inside the 48 hours span. Good luck!

Thanks for the reminder, I haven't lock in my bet, and when I check it though, almost all options are now open.

It might take sometime though as Canelo has bolted out of Matchroom. And so Bivol will have to move on and fine another fighter and not just solely chase Canelo. He could defend his belt and continue at 175 lbs. Of course, there is also a unification fight in the horizon for him with Arthur Beterbiev. So there's a lot of opportunity for him in the future.
The unification fight between Bivol and Beterbiev is not yet on the horizon as long as the war between Ukraine and Russia persist because the sanctioning bodies are not that inclined to make the fight into reality, right now, it has been said that Bivol is arranging his information so that he will not be connected in any Russian conflicts as that will give some halt in his careers, just like the Bivol vs Canelo fight, it's been said that up until now, the paycheck is still not on his hands.

Quote
Canelo as well will have his one fight this September. What's interesting is who will be his next opponent as there are news that it might be another Mexican in David Benavidez. And this want fight fans is hoping for May next year.
Hopefully that will happen so that we can see that real abilities of the kid infront of the undisputed champion and so that there will be no speculation that Canelo is ducking the uprising star that will soon replace his title at SMW. And of course, so that the kid will be given the chance of a lifetime as he earned his place to be the next foe of Canelo.

Only Bivol is affected though, but if they can have Bivol vs Canelo during the war then why stopping him from fighting again? Politics shouldn't meddle in. the sports in my opinion. Beterbiev is already fighting as a Canadian, just for your info. He has a Canadian citizenship,

https://www.sportsmanor.com/boxing-news-artur-beterbiev-nationality-is-he-canadian-or-russian/

The one that has been holding up this fight is their manager, Beterbiev is with Top Rank, under Bob Arum, and then Bivol with Match Room and Eddie Hearn. This two promotional manager is having a verbal war in the public.

https://www.boxingscene.com/arum-united-states-eddie-hearn-considered-joke--170936
https://www.boxingscene.com/eddie-hearn-hits-back-bob-arum-top-rank-completely-finished-espn-contract-gone--174959

I don't think you are following because I certainly believe that we have already established that fact and already know beforehand that Artur Beterbiev is a Canadian citizen and has been living in the mentioned country for almost 20 years now. The only thing that connects him to Russia is that he was born at that country, nothing else.

For Dmitry Bivol, just like what I mentioned above, the unification match is not really possible at the moment because the sanctioning bodies are not allowing it to happen. Bob Arum of the Top Rank and Eddie Hearn of the DAZN is the least of their problems because Bob Arum himself already stressed before that the unification fight is only possible is if he will organize it and not Eddie Hearn and it is reasonable enough because it is them who holds three of the four belts existing.

That's what I'm trying to say, it's the boxing politics that's the main issue with this fight and we might not see a unification soon. Unless Bivol goes to Top Rank or Beterbiev moves out of Match Room and jump ship to TR.

For the HW clash, I think it's going to be a big test for AJ here, but I think Whyte is no longer in his prime and so AJ will have the perfect fight to bring his confidence back. And it could be true that Eddie Hearn is cherry picking Whyte for a potential AJ vs Deontay Wilder in the future.

and also share your experience, if you ever worked at this type of job like how you got that job and what was the process, what strategy you used to qualify for that job.

I haven't good any job like this and the main reason is that I'm not that interested. But obviously, if you wanted to get a job, just like in real world you have to apply for it and have the background and have experience on the job itself.

So there are no secret strategies, you need to learn the craft. Maybe if you are that inexperience then maybe there could be some companies that are going to hire you but the salary might be small. Don't take that negatively, might be better to accept it and then start from there. Best of luck to you job hunting.

Now my question is, is it good for my future that I have sold my altcoins and invested in bitcoins?
Let's say usually, at first, when you're new to this world you buy several altcoins, then you realize many of them are pointless and it's better to focus on BTC, so I would say you made the right choice. The only altcoins I really like are ETH and BNB, those have a great potential and it's worth having some, especially ETH in the short term it may even outperform BTC.

Perhaps that's what the OP realized, and I think for those who are in the crypto market for less than 4 years, they really think that altcoins is the best because of the perceived returns and how it was exaggerate by the media and other crypto influncers.

I would agree that there are solid altcoins like you mentioned, but majority here are into Bitcoin and most of their portfolio might have been shift to BTC already and then become a long term investors and a HODLer.

Yeah, Mexican vs Mexican, there will be some blood in the ring for sure.

I think this is Valdez best weight though, that jump against Shakur really shows how small Valdez though against Stevenson and you can see the big difference. But you have to give credit to Oscar for showing in that fight.

As for Navarette, he was exposed in the last fight, maybe he was too confident against Wilson and it's a wake up call for him.

Key difference here will be the stamina as this could be a volume match, so if in the middle of the rounds Navarette gets tired, then I see Oscar taking over the fight.
1180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 05, 2023, 05:16:36 PM

It is really hard to forget Canelo Alvarez's expressions inside the ring because he just cannot hide how frustrated he was as he cannot really give something good towards Bivol to make the fight in his favor, even the judges tried to help him, but it was just so clear that Bivol is too dominant inside his own division. Canelo probably thought that he can have the belt once again as he managed to defeat Sergey Kovalev few years back in the same division.

It was just beyond his skills to beat that guy and look at them didn't even bother to take a second chance to regain back his honor by asking Bivol for a second fight instead they are cherry-picking opponents nowadays just to be active in boxing for the months to come. If only they choose to fight real contenders no matter how hard it is, they wouldn't have lost the reality of boxing as we saw in the past in the Mike Tyson era, nowadays if the opponent has high more chance of beating them, they don't accept the challenges rather they dodge it by looking for a small fish opponent that is available.

Canelo has accepted the fact that he cannot beat Bivol, but it seems like he's making excuses by offering an unfavorable revenue sharing for a potential rematch. It's clear that the fight won't happen under those conditions. What Canelo is doing is sticking with a division where he can dominate and likely retire as a champion.

Canelo doesn't have the fighting skills to beat Bivol and that's a fact my friend. He is just trying to offer rematch only as a publicity stunt to save his lost reputation. I'm quite sure that Bivol is not interested in a rematch, and he wont accept any proposals from Canelo. Canelo also knows that his tries will be useless and Bivol wont go for another contract. I think it should be better for Canelo to fight with someone whom he can win, and after many good wins the guy might get another chance to fight with Bivol.

That might be the case why both camps are not making any noise regarding about the rematch, as of now, I wouldn't call it as the end of the road between the two of them because Canelo hasn't made an offer yet to contest the fight at 168 and to show that he is indeed eager to make the fight happen to regain his reputation because he only gave an offer at 175 and with the same purse split, that's why Bivol's camp declined automatically without any hesitation.

So, let's see if there will be some changes after Canelo's fight this coming September.

It might take sometime though as Canelo has bolted out of Matchroom. And so Bivol will have to move on and fine another fighter and not just solely chase Canelo. He could defend his belt and continue at 175 lbs. Of course, there is also a unification fight in the horizon for him with Arthur Beterbiev. So there's a lot of opportunity for him in the future.

Canelo as well will have his one fight this September. What's interesting is who will be his next opponent as there are news that it might be another Mexican in David Benavidez. And this want fight fans is hoping for May next year.
