Holly Holms is my favorite. Hopefully she won that fight so she and Ronda Rousey have a rematch. I have never watch any Schevchenko fights but she seems very strong. Holms should be careful defending herself. Holms is good at range fight, just like she did from Rousey. She made that fight easy. She must be careful on takedown cause she has no advatange on that.
With how things went out in her career, it would be near impossible for that rematch to happen and at the same time draw a lot of people as it did in their first fight. I'm really disappointed in how Holm's decisions on who and when to fight. It could be both her and her manager's fault. But more fault on her manager. He should be advicing her on what fights are good and what to avoid. Her last two fights wasn't worth the reward in the risk:reward ratio. |

For UFC betting's sake. This is the gambling section right? There are sports books that offer UFC betting unless I really missed something. I tried to make my own OP with all the pictures and info but I saw that PuertoRican's is much better. So I asked permission and he agreed as long as I don't claim that I made it myself.
So back to UFC. Does anyone think Woodley has the edge on the first three rounds? If the odds get a little better, I might put a little money on him. Expecting that to happen as the fight nears when everyone bets on Lawler.

WOW I'm shocked Holm had zero heart
she was clearly losing and her corner even was telling her she had to
make something happen and she continued to do nothing. The worst part
is Shevchenko didn't look good either so UFC loses big time. If holm wins they
get rousey holm 2 and now they get nothing cause why would you pay big money
to see rousey vs a fluke winner like holm who has lost 2 in a row. Sad outcome for
my wallet and for the ufc.
It was as if she was scared to get to boxing range and do her stuff, hiding the kick behind the punches. I think she was cautious of getting too close because Shev is just too dangerous in the clinch. |

Forked Ethereum is a precedent of what might come.
May a thousand flowers bloom. Good for BTC  But it's not good for cryptocurrency as a whole. It could (arguably) even hold Bitcoin back. The uncertainty caused by Buterin could hurt us all as supporters whether you're a developer, researcher, entrepreneur or speculator. |

Why only 2 ?
I propose we fork ETC and call it ETX and get Polo to list it too.
~LOL~
Thanks to Vitalik Buterin, now every other developer could be thinking exactly this for whatever reason they themselves can cause and think of. It's the reason some didn't like to go with the hard fork. Vitalik Buterin's Forked Ethereum is a precedent of what might come. If there's a person who caused an uncertainty in the cryptocurrency scene, it's him. Well maybe. The problem of writing perfect, and verifiably perfect, software is very difficult. So all software needs some kind of change control mechanism to allow bug fixes, etc. In a crypto-coin, this mechanism is the hard fork. You could argue, as many do, that hard forks are bad. But you could also argue that not forking has worse consequences. Imagine all the new bugs that will be found in ETC and ETH. If they never fork, they will eventually become useless except for speculation by traders. What is really needed is a better governance model. One that can develop a generally accepted set of rules describing when a hard fork is acceptable, and when it is not. Then we can argue about the cases. This model will probably evolve to look something like the IETF. I'm not arguing anything of the sort in my reply. A hard fork can be either good or bad. It is the process on how the decision came to be is what's good or bad. And the whole point is Buterin did this to himself. There were some vocal people known in the community who were expressing themselves against the hard fork because it will set a precedent. And in the way you reacted, joking or not, is proof that there are people thinking about hard forking again if they find it good, an easy out or convenient. Again I say, if there's a person who caused a major uncertainty in the cryptocurrency scene, it is Buterin himself. He was warned but yet he still went on, manipulated the Ethereum community and politically railroaded the hard fork to happen. |

The altcoin world doesn't need more uncertainty at the moment. If you're a Forked Ethereum supporter then yeah, you would tend to think this because Classic Ethereum will hurt your bottom line if you are looking to profit from buying and holding ETH. But what 'uncertainty' are you talking about? It isn't like the cryptocurrency scene will cause a global financial crisis. So the Original Ethereum still has some supporters behind it, so what? ETC advocates are just bad losers and doing alts in general a disservice. How are they losers? They're not. They just disapproved of the shenanigans in the voting process and the manipulation of Ethereum's community to make this hard fork happen. I'm sure not everyone in the 'who's who' in Ethereum agree with the hard fork. Gavin Wood is showing signs that he supports the original Classic Ethereum. I propose we fork ETC and call it ETX and get Polo to list it too.
~LOL~
Go ahead. No one's stopping you. See what Vitalik Buterin did? You may be joking but other more serious people could be thinking of doing more hard forks in the future. Forked Ethereum is a precedent of what might come. |

Wow! Just read the news! This is an unexpected development. It looks like Vitalik has his hands full again and this time the problem was caused by himself and Classic Ethereum looks like it will be staying for a while. But who is developing/maintaining it? Are there a group if volunteers of core developers to bring the project forward?

Belgian midfielder Axel Witsel looks set for a move to Goodison Park after Everton agreed a £25.1 million fee for the Zenit Saint Petersburg man.
I like Witsel and I think he's a good signing. It's nice to see him play at the EPL finally. I remember AVB was trying to sign him when he took over at Chelsea years ago. |

Placed two small bets for fun on Nico and Verstapen on their race match ups vs their teammates. This should be a good race.

we have for this weekend F1 Hungarian Grand Prix | July 24, 2016 | Hungaroring, Mogyoród, Hungary
Another race will be for mercedes drivers to battle i think But im hopping for someone else to be victorious in this one The question is how motivated is Hamilton going in this race with minus one point in the driver's championship? Very very motivated I reckon. And how pressured is Rosberg with his teammate breathing on his neck? Very very pressured for sure. This will be a good, entertaining qualifying and a good race. I hope we get a Merc 1 - 2 just to see both drivers battle it out. But hoping to see Rosberg at P1 because Hamilton at P2 would hopefully make a decent value bet. Let's see if the bookies oblige. |

LOL Man United. I just read the news and saw the results of their preseason match vs. BVB. I could accept them losing at maybe 1 - 0 just like Man City vs. Bayern but losing 4 - 1 is just too damn funny.  I haven't watched the game yet. Going to watch the replay later when I get back home. |

It's moving right now and poised to breakout barring a surge up in BTC. If BTC continuous to go sideways/trend slowly down then getting in DGB now could make some profit. But be wary, its volume is on the lower side but decent. Be ready for any spikes up. DGB |

Check out DGB on Poloniex. It looks like it's going to breakout. Keep in mind this coin's volume is on the lower side, so expect a faster run up. I will post a chart later. |

Xavi and Pirlo has a legend in their country because both players has win world cup trophy and very success in their clubs and there will be different for Carrick because he was never get any trophy for England and i must say that Carrick level still under Xavi and Pirlo
You are stupid it seems pr atleast ignorant to the fact that winning a trophy for your country doesnt mean that you are a legend. Messi hasnt win any trophy for his country and yet he is one of the living legend still playing currently Everton place £75m tag on Lukaku, Chelsea's interest in Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has forced the Toffees to put a £75 million pricetag on the Belgian striker's head.
£75 millions for lukaku is a good price considering that lukaku is still young and with his stamina , he could play for atleast 10 more years to come and they could even sell him for more if his performance is better in the future, he is a great investment for any team It's a bit much but this is a good move by Everton as I think they don't want to lose him. But if a club really wants to sign him, they would have to shell out 75M British Pounds. Arsene Wenger should take a look. If he's willing to spend on Higuain, why not get Lukaku instead. |

I just watched the friendly game between Bayern and Man City. I wasn't impressed with City. Or maybe I was just expecting too much because of Pep Guardiola. But I was actually bored watching the game. I liked the Liverpool vs Wigan game more.

What a stupid inter milan wanna do, i hear inter is set to make a surprise move for out-of-favor liverpool striker mario balotelli. the italian worked with roberto mancini during their time at manchester city.
as long as Inter does not need to spend much money, so it is OK for them to get Balotelli. Actually he is a good player, but he cant control and manage his own talents. He need to be assisted by a good manager though. I really think Balotelli has learned his lesson and will do well at Inter this time. This is his last chance to prove himself and according to Klopp he has been good as of late, but he just doesn't have a place/spot in Liverpool. But in Inter he's going to be playing every week under Mancini. Balotelli needs that father figure in Mancini and I think their partnership will be a good one this time around. |
