We all can speculate on who we want to see these fighters face-off with until we are blue in the face ourselves. So with the fight year ending that is it. No more fights until next year. Watched some end of the year review video earlier just so to close this UFC season off with and noticed this photo comparison of The Notorious one side by side posted on Gilbert Burns X feed a couple of months back:  https://twitter.com/GilbertDurinho/status/1712240208517664771I think it is a great way to end the year looking at this photo and thinking which Conor we will see for the next big event coming up next year. Very much doubt it will be for a UFC 300 main event as they have been announcing slowly piece by piece who we will be seeing for this much anticipated event ever in MMA history. In a video I previously watched Conor McGregor is showing off his new physique, and he is loving it, and loving it is just a weak word to describe it, he is really addicted to his new physique if you can see his reaction in flexing his body to the mirror and seeing what abomination be become now, It was great and all and I am happy to see McGregor happy but knowing that this body was built because of enhancing drugs just like the Liver King said that he was taking an enhanced drug and he confessed that he lied to the public now looking at Conor McGregor now and he is lying not using something to grow himself like that, February 17 UFC 298 Anaheim
Rob Whittaker versus Paulo Costa
Geoff Neal versus Ian (The Future) Garry
Expect something great for the future fights that are upcoming and we will surely be surprised by what is installed for us, the UFC 298 is a real banger the main event for that card is Alexander Volkanovski VS Ilia Topuria, man I love Ilia Topuria, and bringing the fight to Volkanovski Dana is a genius to do this, the Co-Main Event Robert Whittaker VS Paulo Costa and if Paulo Costa canceled this bout yet again this is the end for him as he got a zebra stripe in his record and that Cancelled bout was too much on him, Merab Dvalishvili VS Henry Cejudo, and Tai Tuivasa VS Marcin Tybura for me that will be an epic fight for sure, here is the full event link https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/107060-ufc-298February 24 UFC Mexico

I think Munich's chances of winning the Bundesliga are still very big. They have Harry Kane who now leads the list of top scorers. I think clubs that have world-class strikers have an advantage in the competition in the League because they have someone who can score goals in difficult times. Honestly, I hope Leverkusen will win because I want to see a different champion from the Bundesliga.
That is if Leverkusen made some mistake in their game maybe in their game against Augsburg where Augsburg could hit a loss to Leverkusen but that was really 1 in a million as Xabi Alonso is a perfectionist you can surely see from the way he wanted the game to end if the Leverkusen team can not hit the victory they will go with a draw instead but not a lost as that would surely be a big losing score for the Bundesliga and now that Bayern Munich has a 1 lost record this is going to be hard for them as they need to win in every game they had now and hope that Leverkusen got many Draws even though they didn't have a lost record if they can have many draws that is a win for Bayern Munich, so yeah they still have ways to win this season, if certain something would happen, Bayer still managed to maintain the lead this year, this is a very good result, and although I like Bayern, I would like the competition in the Bundesliga to be higher, and it would be good if Bayer could achieve their goal and become champions. If you know in advance that there is a strong team in the championship, that has dominated for many years it becomes boring at some point, so I hope that Bayer can turn this around and make Bayern take the Bundesliga more seriously. Despite Bayern's poor performance last season, they were able to become champions, this should not happen again.
Many surely wanted what is happening in the Bundesliga right now it is because they are fed up with the same thing that is happening and they don't like it, they are now very hungry for changes, and the fans really want a new champion in the Bundesliga and I feel sorry for Harry Kane that wants to have a championship trophy this season, because he needs to wait maybe next season, and if Leverkusen coach changes, which is not happening, But Bayern Munich still has a huge chance in still becoming champion, they just need to keep on winning every game and hope that Leverkusen gains more draws, which it might happen in the end, |

^Congratulations guys.
8 games today. 1 game is about to start. Thankfully I woke up early and I will place my bet now.
Here are my bets for today's games.
Detroit Pistons - Utah Jazz - Detroit Pistons (-1.5) I was about to bet for the Jazz but I checked the injury reports first. Will this be the time that the Detroit Piston wins? It is a homecourt advantage and they are playing against an undermanned team. No, THT, Markannen, and Jordan Clarkson. It's a chance to stop the bleeding.
Cleveland Cavaliers - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-1.5) No, Garland, Mitchell, and Mobley. The Pelicans should take advantage of it.
Chicago Bulls - San Antonio Spurs - Chicago Bulls (-4.5) The Bulls are hot ever since Alex Caruso returned. Will they continue this winning streak? It will be 3 if they win again.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Clippers - No bets yet. Waiting for confirmation if Kawhi Leonard and PG13 will play or not. The Clippers right now are at +5.5, we could take advantage of that or wait for the starting lineup to be announced. It will be sad to see their 9th winning streak being broken because of injuries or load management.
Milwaukee Bucks - Orlando Magic - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) The Bucks dominance will not be easy to break. They have a healthy roster now and if this keeps on they might get that top spot soon. They are on their 5th winning streak and might go 6 especially while playing at their homecourt. Their fans would love to see how strong they are. Orlando Magic on the other hand is on their 3rd losing streak.
Good luck everyone.
WOW! Thanks, I got a perfect win on yesterday's game I really never expected that I would make a perfect bet for this game but still it is not a multi-bet because I think it is hard winning with Multibets, but here are the results of my picks for yesterday's game for the NBA, Brooklyn Nets (2.49) VS Denver Nuggets (1.56) - WIN Just like I thought the Brooklyn Nets don't really stand a chance against the Nuggets and I have noticed from the start it is not enough what Victor Wembanyama alone can cater on the table, but Wembanyama was injured and can not play on this game that have gotten the Brooklyn Nets into a more dire position as the Denver Nuggets crashed them in the 2nd half, it was the tandem of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic that made this game win for the Nuggets, Miami Heat (1.79) VS Atlanta Hawks (2.07) - WIN It was a close match for these two teams it goes back and forth but the Miami Heat just got many to spare the Miami Heat did win but no thanks to Jimmy Butler, but it was Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro who didn't let the Atlanta Hawks make any adjustment or the Hawks adjusted but it failed on them, Sacramento King (1.73) VS Phoenix Suns (2.16) - WIN Now another game that I thought the Phoenix Suns would win but instead the Sacramento Kings did a great job of keeping the lead for themselves it was like Devin Booker was not yet 100% in this game and Kevin Durant wasn't reliable enough to make the lead, but the Kings got many roster that could have potential in the future, Harrison Barnes, Keegan Murray, De'Aaron Fox and the triple-double of Domantas Sabonis, |

I keep seeing all these social media posts saying that McGregor is going to fight in UFC 300. Is this official yet? I thought the news wasn’t released yet but I’m seeing a lot of Conor McGregor at UFC 300 posts… I hope we do get to see him fight sooner than later. He isn’t exactly getting any younger and seems to be switching his focus to politics.
Well, for sure the UFC 300 was announced but Dana White didn't mention any main event for the upcoming fights, so we just have to wait for it, as it was announced by the UFC that they will be giving Conor McGregor a fight against Michael Chandler and for sure this is going to be a stacked event for sure because they are hinting that UFC 300 will be special, so yeah maybe as there are some hidden fights that even Dana White couldn't announce, so let's just hope and wait for further announcement,
People don't care that Tony lost against legends, people care that tony lost 7 games in a row and this happened when people started saying that he should retire.
You misunderstood me, I didn't say a word shame in a bad way. I love Tony, he is one of my favorite fighter. I said shame in a way that as I said above, it hurts me a little to see him losing many fights in a row.
The involvement of David Goggins, the mentality that he had in this fight, the hype, all were great but loss in the end? When we will see Tony's comeback? After 8 loses, 9 loses? That's why people say it's a shame for him to continue fighting but they say it in a good way, that they, like me, want to see the legend with legendary records.
If he wants to continue fighting and it's the only way to feed his family, I am not here to judge. Tony is one of my favorite fighter and I would always watch his fights.
Yep! We all have an understanding that no one is safe from Father Time all of us will surely encounter the same faith getting weakened by old age and you can clearly see it in his fights but even though his body gave up on him his mind still keeps on fighting even though David Goggins fill his thoughts with positivity, there is no changing the way his body response, But at least he is now positive about what he wants but he is pissed walking out of the Octagon after he lost to UFC 296 here is the clip https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R3aamRuIeJ4I'll say yes, but there are plenty of other fights I prefer to see instead. I consider Conor effectively retired, he has a completely different energy than he had in his prime. This will probably be a deciding fight for him, if he gets defeated easily by Chandler, I don't think he'll step into the octagon ever again. Chandler will be a big favourite, but I've heard some commentators saying that out of all the top fighters in the lightweight, Chandler's style suits Conor the most.
Actually, I don't really want to see Conor McGregor anymore and I just want him to announce his retirement and maybe focus on some other things, but this is UFC what promises, and if they want the Jon Jones VS Stipe Miocic fight to still happen then they will push this through even if takes them to cut ties with USADA so we could surely see a Conor Mcgregor VS Michael Chandler fight that is for sure, |

I believe that when there is a big goliath level team like Bayern and a team that is david like leverkusen, that fight is a lot more fun to watch. In football world goliath usually wins, it's rare that we would see the smaller team wins but when that happens it's super fun. I am not German, I am not from anywhere near these two clubs and not fan of either of them.
However, if Leverkusen wins the title this season then I would be a lot more happier than Bayern to be fair, because it means that we have seen someone take down a giant and that's always a fun thing to watch, it is always something that I would end up having fun with. This is why I believe that we are going to end up with something that should be a bit more fun in the end.
Actually, I will be OK with it when Leverkusen wins this season's championship, while at the same time going to be sad because Bayern Munich has already established this long domination in the German club, so not seeing them at the top is a different perspective and will be sad for Harry Kane moving into the Bayern Munich so he can get his 1st trophy and actually many are saying that Harry Kane has the curse when he moves to a different team that team will suffer the same faith that Harry Kane can not get his Trophy, But still a fresh new start for the Bundesliga as they will have a new Champion for this season,
Before Xabi Alonso Bayer Leverkusen were struggling into relegation zone and as he takes control in last season we have them into top ranks which is surely one of the best from this coach, and now they are undefeated in this season in both big leagues like Bundesliga and Europa League which is extraordinary just because of these results and performance now his name is already in best coaches of the new generation as he is doing work things can take good change for him as well.
His leadership is impressive and doing work with players is also amazing which is giving them 100% results, and now it's good time for the Bayer Leverkusen to keep him for few years which can bring best changes for them, and they can stay like tough challenge in this league.
Xabi Alonso is really amazing for revolutionizing Leverkusen and for this Leverkusen Xabi Alonso just needed a short time for the Leverkusen to get better for the guidance of Alonso nurtured Leverkusen players with the knowledge and it will surely be passed on to those players in the years to come I know that there will be a Xabi Alonso in the future for sure, I really like this kind of coaching to be pass on to the younger age, |

After that big loss, I will not bet on today's game and will bet on tomorrow's games instead to give me time to think about my losses last time, and this is to maybe change the bet after a while or just focus on tomorrow game instead of making a quick guess in today's game but this is my pick for tomorrows game, Brooklyn Nets (2.49) VS Denver Nuggets (1.56) - Brooklyn Nets Injury List
Dennis Smith Jr. (Back/ Game Time Decision) Lonnie Walker IV (Hamstring/ out until at least Dec 26) Ben Simmons (Back/ out until at least Jan 5) - Denver Nuggets Injury List
Aaron Gordon (Heel/ Game Time Decision) Vlatko Cancar (Knee/ out until at least Apr 2) Miami Heat (1.79) VS Atlanta Hawks (2.07) Dru Smith (Knee/ Out for the season) Jimmy Butler (Calf/ out until at least Dec 25) - Atlanta Hawks Injury List
AJ Griffin (Personal/ out until at least Dec 23) Mouhamed Gueye (Back/ out until at least Jan 20) Jalen Johnson (Wrist/ out until at least Dec 26) Kobe Bufkin (Thumb/ out until at least Jan 7) Sacramento King (1.73) VS Phoenix Suns (2.16) - Sacramento King Injury List

Dana can only arrange a farewell fight only if Tony agrees to retire. Otherwise it would be just another fight. No one can force Tony to retire other than himself though and I don't think he's ready to do that.
If he decides to carry on fighting, UFC has two options: release him from his contract and let him go to a different organisation, or just make him fight lower-ranked fighters for much less money. The first option should be much more profitable for Tony, as he could still capitalise on his fame, despite all the losses.
That is if Tony Ferguson Agrees to retire which is impossible for sure as Tony Ferguson is searching for blood when fighting I really see him as a violent individual and for sure craves a fight for sure he is addicted to fighting and if the UFC considered him to retire I think Ferguson will just sought other fight organization like PFL to give him a chance, but let's just hope and see, Ho-ho-ho, Uncle Dana has started a 12 days of giveaways.  He has started a giveaway in exchange of subscribing to newsletter of different brands. You can read more of it @ https://www.ufc.com/12days. Are going to participate or just pass? All they are asking are email and mobile phone. I think I am going to pass. Dont want to find out that all of a sudden I've a contract with them  https://www.thescore.com/mma/news/2797595 what is that, is Makhachev planning to move on on one division higher? Will Edwards accept such risk? Dana White is devising something or advertising something this this platform for sure all of the said business partners are involved in this raffle kind of event and it is surely just limited I may be too late for this, and what I want was only the UFC, maybe a little WWE, but power slap no sir, And speaking of Islam Makhachev he might really be aiming for the Welterweight division which is something great for him as he is now the pound-for-pound great but that is for the time being as Jon Jones is not around for sure they will eventually change that after Jones return, Aldo and Tony have two different kind of mental problems. If Conor made Aldo mad and planted a seed of hesitation in his head. Then Tony's madness is fighting demons in his head. The guy is simply crazy. If he wasnt so popular, he would be in lunatic asylum long time ago. https://www.attacktheback.com/a-detailed-timeline-on-tony-fergusons-mental-health/ this is an old article, but read what crazy stuff he did, and that was only 4 years ago. He has visited treatment facilities, but they did not cure him completely. Well upon his training with Goggins, I really think it helped him just a little for sure that is what the purpose of his training for and he said in the interview that he was happy with David Goggin's advice and this is truly a remarkable experience for him I think there is a lot of possibilities that he really is recovering if not physically for sure mentally, but I wish he would see his state of calmness and retire now, |

The result of my picks for my Yesterday Bundesliga games Eintracht Frankfurt (1.69) - Draw (3.75) - Borussia Monchengladbach (4.70) - WIN Great win for Eintracht Frankfurt Passing accuracy was great, and although the Mongengladbach had a decent defense Frankfurt managed to score 2 goals in this game making it possible to win, It was the 1st goal for Borussia Monchengladbach then Nico Elvedi got a yellow card until the halftime ended, then Manu Kone and Maximillian Wober from Borussia Monchengladbach got another Yellow card, then Willian Pacho from Eintracht Frankfurt got a yellow card aswell, another minute beyond the game Joe Scally got a yellow Card and that is another player from Monchengladbach then 2 goals from Eintracht Frankfurt that ended the game it was a quick pace goal at the end that ended in the win for the Eintracht Frankfurt, it was a surprise for sure, Bayer Leverkusen (1.19) - Draw (7.00) - VfL Bochum (14.00) - WIN It was Patrik Schick who provided Leverkusen with as many goals as possible and managed to dominate Bochum as for sure VfL Bochum is not a treat for Leverkusen at all, and Victor Boniface's last goal was the goal at the end of the game 1st half was Patrik Schick performance getting 3 goals consecutively, then a at the end of the halftime VAR review from Leverkusen's goal was ruled out that was the 4th goal of Leverkusen but it was decided it didn't count as a goal, and lastly was the goal of Victor Boniface at the end of the game it was domination for Leverkusen, FC Heidenheim (3.00) - Draw (3.15) - SC Freiburg (2.35) - LOST Actually, it was a close game it could have been a draw if not for the mistake of Matthias Ginter's own goal that ended up with FC Heidenheim winning this game, on the kickoff Manuel Gulde got a Yellow Card at the start of the game then Lucas Holer got the 1st goal for Freiburg, then Jan Schoppner and Jonas Fohrenbach from Heidenheim got a yellow card and Kiliann Sildillia also got a yellow card from Freiburg, then on Halftime Heidenheim Eren Dinkci got a goal to tie the game, then Penalty goal for Lucas Holer got Freiburg a goal, then Tim Kleindienst tie the game for Heidenheim, then Matthias Ginter has messed it up with an Own goal for Heidenheim to win, |

He had a seizure and he could not even get up for minutes. Brutal, indeed.
Well, that's Josh Emmett, he is known to be the hardest puncher in their weight class but the surprising part is how much it affected Bryce Mitchell. I only celebrated after the hard punch but when I saw him having a seizure, I was more worried because the sound of the punch was like a stone hitting the face of Bryce. I hope he is okay.
What Daniel Cormier said after the punch was right. We see this happening with kicks but not with punches, that's how damn powerful the fists of Josh Emmett are.
It was a brutal punch from Josh Emmett and Bryce Mitchell was clearly in a Seizure in this video this doctor Youtuber will explain that it was clear as day that Bryce Mitchell was in a seizure regardless of the punch and because Josh Emmett is another fighter who can surely hit like a truck it is really dangerous in that kind of stances that punch is really lethal and Bryce Mitchell could really die, here is the video for the doctor's explanation, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMMLlKVPTgEYeah! Give him a better one. Shavkat had been finishing his opponents too early which for me means there's a mismatch. Give him something more powerful that he will try to feel the pressure of the fight. But who is there? Usman maybe? The Welterweight Gatekeeper. Well, he has a good wrestling offense and defense which might match Shavkat but I don't know about the standing fight. Shavkat is also powerful in his kickboxing skills and I bet he will use that as a strategy against Usman considering he was defeated by a deadly kick by Edwards. Yup! I want to see Shavkat Rakhmanov have a true opponent with whom he can have a great fight but for sure this is going to be the champion perhaps it is time for Rakhmonov to have a fight for the title match and that is Leon Edwards, or maybe Belal Muhammad who is now training with Khabib Nurrmagomedov team, for sure a lesson on Nurmagomedov camp can surely give him advice with the wrestling aspect and lastly Kamaru Usman as Usman got a great close fight against Khamzat Chimaev, so maybe he can pull a good one against Shavkat aswell, |

Because we are having a break on the Bundesliga and this is the last game for today, here are my picks for the Bundesliga game, Eintracht Frankfurt (1.69) - Draw (3.75) - Borussia Monchengladbach (4.70) - Eintracht Frankfurt Injury List

This is the 1st time I thought of making my multi-bet on my own, and it was a failure, I just tried it because I was feeling very lucky lately but here is the result of my picks and multi-bets for today's game, New Orleans Pelicans (1.34) VS Memphis Grizzlies (3.40) - LOST Never imagined the return of Ja Morant in this game and that has given another edge for the Memphis Grizzlies to win this game, the New Orleans Pelicans did a great job at the start of the game but Morant has started heating up led Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. t do what they do best, but it was a close game and I thought that the Pelicans will win this, so it turns out to be a lost for me, Milwaukee Bucks (1.07) VS San Antonio Spurs (9.80) - WIN The San Antonio Spurs clearly don't have what it takes to win and without Victor Wembanyama in their roster it is really hard to make a play but they still manage a great score so it is OK for me as the Milwaukee Bucks did great Antetokounmpo made an adjustment for this game and let the other players of the bucks take the score, while he makes the play, I think this is effective form for the Bucks, Golden State Warriors (2.90) VS Boston Celtics (1.43) - LOST Amazing performance for the Golden State Warriors but it was really a close game, at 1st There were some turnovers because of Stephen Curry, but it was clearly shaken off by the team's greater offense in the 2nd half that made it possible for the Golden State Warriors winning this, I think the overtime have wasted the Boston Celtics as clearly the Warriors has many reserves for an OT, it was a clear win for the Warriors and that is without Draymond Green, Portland Trail Blazers (3.40) VS Phoenix Suns (1.34) - LOST Close game but I never imagined that the Phoenix Suns would lose to the Trail Blazers, as the Portland Trail Blazers are down the line in the west in the 14th position but they clearly got a win over the team in the 10th position and Kevin Durant is great in this game, making 40 points or maybe Devin Booker is not feeling all well for this game, while Portland Trail Blazer Deandre Ayton has a double-double of 15 rebounds and 16 points, Jerami Grant got 22 points, and Anfernee Simons got 23 points it was a close game and the game that has ended their 7 losing streak,  |

That is very normal but I don't think it still surrounds them and is used as an excuse for the bad results they have suffered in the last few matches, the proof is that at the start of this season Dortmund's performance was quite impressive before finally in the last 4 matches they failed to win a match in the Bundesliga and made Their position is increasingly declining in the Bundesliga standings.
The draw against Mainz last night was certainly very disappointing for Dortmund but that's how this team really can't maintain its consistency and that doesn't just happen this season but almost every season they do so I'm not surprised by what happened to them in their last few games. and I think they will be able to recover from this situation as they have done in previous seasons.
There might be doubts inside the team that neutralizing them from creating a great team play right now, I was really sad to see Dortmund like this it was a clear indicator that the team now is getting into the path of just a regular team in the Bundesliga, I really think that Edin Terzic is doing something but it is not really visible right now but in the following match day maybe Dortmund will be having a blast but right now they are just silently staying not to be relegated,
Mainz has always been a tough opponent for Dortmund and even though they are favored as hosts, Dortmund still cannot change the situation. The draw was the worst in over a year against Mainz and they got this result again. Maybe it's true that Dortmund has to look for a new coach to replace Edin Terzic because this will only make them fall further behind the other teams at the top of the standings.
Such a significant distance from Leverkusen is impossible for them to catch up and perhaps finishing in the top 4 is the best for this season. Even though we cannot deny that last season was quite a dark fact for Dortmund, they must immediately recover. Winter will soon open and Dortmund may still be considering buying new players or sacking Edin Terzic at the same time and they have to decide quickly before the competition resumes at the start of the year.
Mainz is clearly still in their recent state and I think they have managed to pull an upset against Dortmund, as Dortmund is not in great form, well this is because Dortmund clearly can not keep up with what they have right now upon selling their strong roster to the other teams and right now if Dortmund finish in this spot the number 5th spot they are in the Europa League group stage but not in the UEFA Champions League group, Well, right now I never expected Dortmund and Leipzig to take the climb for it in my opinion they will just try and manage to stay in this position as long as they can I really think they are not targeting the championship right now, |

it is maybe because inoue's name rings a bell more than tapales. he's more popular as well. also, inoue has a lot more belts than tapales. actually, if you are rooting for tapales, as being a heavy underdog. this is good, right? for the bettors who want to place a bet on him.
because it is not worth putting your money on inoue with 1.07 odds. otherwise, look for other betting lines like which round it will end, the method, over/under and others.
upset can happen if the underdog really prepared for the fight and consider all angles that he can think he has advantage of. but we can understand if bookies will give the cards to inoue here.
Naoya Inoue is now a well-known figure in the sport of boxing and surely if you look at what Naoya Inoue has accomplished against what Marlon Tapales has now Naoya Inoue has a bigger accomplishment, Unification of the Bantamweight belt and this time against Marlon Tapales and he is unifying the WBO super bantamweight this time, clearly, Naoya Inoue is a real monster if he accomplished this kind of feat in a short amount of time and that is without any losses in his record, If we are talking about belts at super bantamweight, the weight class that they are fighting, but have 2 belts. But if we talk about the totally, obviously, Inoue has more has he unified the belt as bantamweight .
That unification of the Bantamweight was a big plus for Naoya Inoue I think no one ever has pulled such a win and a unification in the Bantamweight Division and for sure the many belts he attained is a remarkable feat for Naoya Inoue was the one that pulled such feat but for sure Marlon Tapales was the underdog for this match, Yes, as gamblers, 1.07 has no value at all, in terms of ML, we should be looking at other betting line, maybe per round will be good but the risk is high. But this is what we are after all, all that juicy odds that we can get that is so appealing and we think that it's a good chance to happen then we will go for it. But not the ML, who knows, if there is an upset here and someone bet big on that, for sure they will have regrets later.
It is a good value for people who want to bet for the Underdog, but it is really riskier because the Monster Naoya Inoue is really that good as Marlon Tapales needs to pull an upset to win, if you have courage in betting for Marlon Tapales then go with the Underdog high-risk high rewards for sure, |

For most people maybe it was a very surprising (bad) result about what Bayern Munich experienced in the previous match against Frankfurt, but of course however as you said that every team will definitely experience changes or means having a point where they can slip, and maybe for Bayern Munich itself the time for them to slip is against Frankfurt yesterday, I think it's still quite normal for a team that is struggling even though overall it is a very bad result when they play a team that is far below them.
Indirectly the bad results made the supporters very disappointed and also of course there will be a little doubt, but fortunately Bayern Munich and Tuchel at least managed to restore the confidence of the fans through the victory in their last match against VfB, on the other hand if only at that time Bayern Munich did not slip then maybe it looks like their point difference with Leverkusen will not be too far away now, but the rice has become porridge and the important thing is that they do not lose their winning mentality to continue fighting.
Many surely were disappointed with how Bayern Munich's performance went, and because many expected Bayern Munich to win many surely bet for them and got frustrated with the result, if they could get a signal that Bayern Munich could lose on this one then a bet for Frankfurt will be more profitable, but yeah Leverkusen is still on the top and I am doubting Bayern Munich is they can prepare for the worst, Leipzig showed once again that they are never fit to be a consistent contender to the title as they are a very volatile team most of the time,you never know to expect of them.I did bet on them on a parlay tonight and strange enough I won all other games except them as they drew their game against Werder Bremen.This year the true fight will be between Bayer Leverkussen and Bayern Munchen and they both look very consistent this year with very few games where they have made mistakes while Leipzig together with Dortmund have made quite so many mistakes up until now,so I exclude them from the title fight this season.
The drastic change in their performance is not really shown faster but with a considerably slow pace of progress which is why fans of Leipzig are not really ready to see their team like this I also like RB Leipzig but the way they are now I can not risk making bets for them if they are not but Werder right now has a great defensive strategy that Leipzig just manage to overcome, but right now they need to focus on adjusting and making their team great again,
As of now 3 games today in the Bundesliga have a draw result, SV Werder Bremen VS RB Leipzig, Having a goal score of 1 - 1, Borussia Dortmund VS FSV Mainz having a goal score of 1 - 1, and TSG Hoffenheim VS SV Darmstadt - having a score goal of 3 - 3, this 3 games having a draw pattern, for sure, |

Yes, right after Christmas we will be treated by this great fight. And I think everyone is excited, specially fans of Marlon Tapales, although some of us could be writing him off and not going to win, there could be surprises in boxing and this could be one of them.
And this could be the biggest surprises as this fight is going to be two fold.
If Inoue win, I will say that he is the fighter of the year, winning 4 belts in a year and unifying it, so he will be the next boxer after Crawford to do that. Unifying belts in 2 weight classes.
If Tapales win, this could be very well the upset of the year.
Actually, I am excited and at the same time doubting if Marlon Tapales could win this one, for sure it is a Christmas Treat for us if Tapales could win this one because this is not just a win this is a big win as Naoya Inoue is undefeated and is now attaining many victories and has an unusual record in the sports of Boxing, surely this is a hard fight for Marlon Tapales but he surely got a chance in beating Naoya Inoue the Monster, with his many experience inside the ring and I think this is also a big opportunity giving a great win for the country, Tapales versus Inuoe fight for me will be in favor of the Japanese guy because of his phylosophical way of boxing and also his knocking power. Inoue is fast and accurate while Tapales is a power puncher and is slower compared to the Japanese. Though Tapales is for me has higher edge of fighting Inuoe than Casimero which is slower and his moves were predictable for Inuoe. But yeah they've preparing this for months to win the fight so I think let us just wait and see who will be victorious.
I do agree that Marlon Tapales is slower and much bulkier than Naoya Inoue and has a punching power indeed, but Naoya Inoue has the speed and a much higher punching power, but I could be wrong as Marlon Tapales is training non-stop for this fight and by his look he is very confident that he will show a great fight for the crowd and for the fans of Naoya Inoue, and for this one, Marlon Tapales should get used to the climate and the cold weather of the country of Japan because, in this Holiday season, it is pretty much getting colder in Japan than with the Philippines that doesn't have any winter season, |

Yes, so far celtics and Sixers the teams that are showing some great consistency, but don't count the Bucks yes, especially the Miami Heat as they were the team that made suprises last playoffs. With Jimmy Butler's being healthy, they are still a big threat even if they will not end up with a good standing, remember they were the defending ECF champions.
Even if the Miami Heat does land on the seed below they can still be a treat to some teams just like they did in the last season of the NBA, and if the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers didn't become more consistent with their games and progress in a higher position they will not have a chance in getting into the playoffs but right now they are in a good position so far, Looks like the Warriors doesn't miss Draymond at all, since he was out they were already in a 2 winning streak.
And because of his absence, this opens up more playing opportunity for Trayce Jackson-Davis, who has been playing well in their win against the TrailBlazers. Though I don't want to get myself too excited on the win since I know myself that Trailblazers is not a playoff team, but the Warriors despite Curry was struggling, his teammates were able to step up, specially his splash brother Klay who scored 28 points that game.
Maybe this is a plan for the Warriors to play their reserve players even more, and looking at the performance with 18 minutes of playtime Trayce Jackson-Davis is making great progress, and in that short time he has gotten 8 rebounds 3 assists, and 14 points for the latest game of the Warriors, and now Brandin Podziemski even though he played 33 minutes he just got 5 rebounds 5 assist and 10 points, and for sure Klay Thompson is heating up in every game he played, |

The victory against Eintracht Frankfurt certainly makes Leverkusen's position even stronger at the top of the standings. It is true that Munich still has the potential to overtake Leverkusen if they make mistakes. That's why they must be able to maintain their consistency until the end of the season. It seems that Xabi Alonso is not only good at strategy but You can also arrange player rotations appropriately so that Leverkusen always performs well in every match.
I know that it's still in the middle of the season so it's too soon to say that Leverkusen can become Bundesliga champions this season, but on the one hand everyone definitely wants a new Bundesliga champion this season and including me also hopes that Leverkusen can consistently be on the winning track until the end of the season .
Well, you got a point there as Bayern Munich still has a chance of winning in this situation because we are still in the middle of the season, while Leverkusen for sure will not let Bayern Munich take the lead I think a 1 wrong move for Leverkusen is a crucial one for them, actually this is an intense moment when that kind of thing happen and for sure there are many fans for both sides waiting for it to happen, I still think you got good observation to what Xavi Alonso was doing with Leverkusen and I think that is a good strategy aswell and rotations like this will surely conserves the players energy aswell, Bochum scored important 3 points in the game against Union Berlin. The trend from Union Berlin had been slightly upwards after they won against Gladbach. But now they have come back down to earth.
Bochum are now 6 points in front of place 16 and will not remain on a relegation place during the winter break. Especially in view of the game against Leverkusen an important step.
Bochum is also not a pushover team after all but maybe Union Berlin is just not as good as their last season's performance, this is really confusing mostly for bettors as they are the ones that are having a hard time taking a bet and making a decision, for their bet is surely a hard time for them and for me aswell, but if Union Berlin wants to improve that much I think they need to watch their previous game and games that are have success in my opinion, |
