1381  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Solana rise again? on: November 21, 2022, 09:38:05 AM
So much FUD for Solana these past few weeks, some even predict solana price will drop at $5, I think as long as Team Solana and their community are solid, their technology is good and they are able to overcome this crisis, by then I think solana price will recover.

Many panicked and if we look at the trend of Solana being almost the same as FTX a few days ago so that Solana dropped significantly, I hope Solana can recover and strengthen again, now attacking each other the founders of cryptocurrencies and exchanges is so massive that it hurts the market.
No, compared them wrongly. Because what happened to FTX is a different issue, unlike Solana which is all about the development of the project and people aren't looking at it valuable anymore. I thought before that Solan becomes one of the promising coins in the future. In fact, I have the plan to invest more but too lucky enough that it this project shows the real situation and withdraw my plan.
Though I wasn't hopeless yet to seeing Solana will recover but the chances are very slim. We know investors are really hard to please if they already had suffer losses from a particular project.

It was proven perhaps because Bullrun will come after halving and it has already happened twice (correct me if I'm wrong 2017 and 2021). It is a 4-year gap and people believe that will happen again. There is no wrong about believing it but if fails, of course, really disappointing and yet we need to accept it. I could assume that I was right and I have to keep this faith. Let us see what gonna happen by 2024-2025 coz that will prove who is right or wrong.

We're all just predicting, with history already happening. It is likely to happen again. The expectations of BTC holders I think are like that. I think this is a confidence trigger that keeps BTC on hold at the bottom support and will go back up. But all is just predicting the possibility that anything can happen,we just need to prepare a backup plan if it doesn't match what we expect. But if you look at the current developments, I still feel optimistic about the future of crypto.
Yes, it is indeed just speculation but seems it comes to really happen. BTC holders had come to the idea of buying low and selling high because they believe that one day the price will rally which means they believed it (history repeats itself). In fact, that is why we are here despite the volatile nature of Bitcoin, and that is why we are taking risks. It is very understandable and that is why we have to be prepared as well if that will never happens.

I just think of this;

- Errol Spence dominating his opponent when he return to the ring after a near-death car crash
- Keith Thurman dominating his opponent after 2 years rest

I don't like to put Science here but Spence experienced a worst but still a dominant fighter after he almost seen the door of the heaven on that car crash. Don't get me wrong and take that as a humor. Smiley

I like the comparison and we all know that event with the life of Spence and even with that experienced when come back he still dominate and still have the title under his belt, though Thurman is also a type of fighter which aiming to have that shot and strip the title from Spence if given a chance he will really do everything to claim it.

I'm sure unlike before when he faces Pacquiao, Thurman will be more careful and prepare now,

He will take that experience to grow and mature, though I'm sure trash talk still needed to bring something when they are both inside the ring.

I'm not totally impressed with his performance because Danny Garcia and Yordenis Ugas are not an a level fighter for me. If he really think he believe that he can reign in his division, then he should allow an undisputed fight with Crawford people will stop talking and speculating anymore.

@Japinat, I like the Suns but I will stay away with the Warriors, they have not convince me yet, I think -10 is too much to cover on the road considering they are still winless until now. Rockets are only 2-8 of their last 10 games but at least they had won 1 game at home, which means we might see an upset again.

Portland is victorious again and remains in the lead in the western conference. Boston leads the Eastern Conference. If there is no serious injury this season, it seems that the championship will pass between these two teams. For me, Boston is one step ahead. Boston performed well, winning their last 7 games. The team is in great shape. The Ime Udoka incident doesn't seem to have had a negative impact on the team.

I understand what you're saying but I think it is still too premature to make some predictions on who will be facing in the Finals soon, even if both mentioned teams are still healthy, no one can guarantee it. Moreover, let's expect the unexpected because there will be a lot of things that might happen soon like some trades that can alter a team's fate and there are teams in the league that are still on the adjusting and recovering phase.
Portland definitely has a chance now, I think this is the best version of Portland with Leonard leading the team and with the help of Simons and Grant. They had improved defensively and their offense has improved a bit as well, but defense is always more important since they lack that in the previous seasons.

You mean Lillard? Actually, all of the teams in the league now do have equal chances to survive the regular season.
But yes, by far, this is the best version of Portland Trail Blazers. They started strong and they will finish strong if there will be no serious complications or injuries along the way especially for Dame and the rest of the team who are continuously stepping up their game.

They had a game earlier for which I expected that they will have an easy journey against the Nets who are still struggling, but they lost because the Nets suddenly became so competitive, even Ben Simmons was impressive and haven't missed any shots. Lost my bet but I enjoyed the game.
1386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo on: November 18, 2022, 02:05:42 PM
Some do say that they arent needing money specially for Pacquiao and we are seeing that all of the winnings would be given on a charity which is commendable but i dont know on DK yoo but most probably he would
really be pursing it out but of course its just part of the business which is to make money for living.For those who dont need then it would be mainly applied on charitable works but for those who are earning
for living then pretty sure they would really be doing all sorts of things just for them to earn, even on making yourself do fight a boxing legend.  Grin

I think some of the proceedings of the fight will go to charity, I think that means pot money - charity before distributing the agreed ratio of the reward money of the fight.  Manny still needs money, reason why he is still active in boxing, if he does not need the money then he shouldn't be pursuing exhibition fights.  I don't think it is because of the fans, the reason why retired boxers such as Manny and Mayweather are doing an exhibition fights.

Despite of those opinions I see where you are pointing your statement and it can't be denied that those fighters who are making their presence inside the ring again also aiming for money, maybe they've got some other reason but more on the money side that they can make more and they will be able to support their financial needs.

Charity is a big part of Manny's pursuing his presence. As we know, after his political career, he continues to provide from those charities that he established and continues to support.

Well, yes, they cannot deny that fact. Their main agenda is money and that is always the driving factor why they are still seeking some fights even if they are already retired, they are just taking advantage of their status. Even Manny Pacquiao have his own agenda why he suddenly announced that he will be returning again, he said that he will be giving it to the charity and that is true, but I seriously wouldn't believe that he won't take a fraction for himself.
1387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: November 17, 2022, 04:39:06 PM
Ok, but I think it will be suicide for him to make 168 lbs and just 'bow' down on the pressures from Canelo's camp for them to have the fight in super middleweight.
This is not a big deal. He can do it. If Canelo can go on peak so he can also do and easily beat him. By the way this will be more difficult for him but there is the chance and he has ability too.

If anyone is going from low to heavy so he can easily can achieve the goal. Smiley

Your argument though is flawed, it's easy to go up in weight than go down. We have seen boxers like Casimero having issues making his weight at 118 lbs, thus he was stripped. So that is my argument, Bivol is a natural 175 lbs, maybe can go down to 168 lbs and make the weight, but it might bring him more troubles in the fight is all I'm saying.

Let Canelo go up again in his 175 lbs, that's what Canelo is doing in the last 3 years, heck he even wants to go as high as 190 and fight to Cruiser.

So if he insist that he wants Bivol at his comfort zone, then something might not be right  and Bivol will be at a big disadvantage, all I'm saying.

A fight in 168 is so unlikely, Canelo won't even consider that because it won't give him any benefit if they will contest the fight in his division while Bivol might bite that challenge if ever because win or lose, Bivol will still retain his belt because the fight has been held at 168. But again, it's really unlikely. Canelo might activate that rematch, but it will be on 175 lbs. where he won't lose anything.

Well, yes, Canelo first forecasted Ilunga Makabu in cruiserweight but there have been some changes that is why the fight didn't push through. Cannot imagine if Canelo forced his climb in CW, we saw how frustrated he was when he was defeated in LHW, what more if that happened in CW.
1388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 17, 2022, 02:53:52 PM
The decision will always on their favor. We can't force them to push the fight unless they are satisfied with the amount that they can collect once the fight proceeds. Greediness inside those people is no longer new. They will suck all the possible amount as long as the fighter is under their umbrella.

Just like what you mentioned about Pacquiao and how things went between him and Arum.

Money talks, as always, with sports that have a huge amount of money that flows each time well-known fighters are at stake.

Not siding with Arum but somehow, we can't hide the fact that his big influence also plays a role in why most of his top fighters are able to earn big money throughout their career. What if Pacquiao didn't land on a big promoter, I doubt he will have some big fights while at the peak of his career. Bob Arum, being a professional businessman in this industry knows how to make big revenue in a certain match. Of course, without a big money flowing on a certain match, how can they even pay their boxers with that guaranteed money (that was different from purse split)?

Boxing is really business at some point, but somehow a boxer can build a legacy while also doing business at the same time.
True, boxing is a business, and so these boxers need the middle man like Bob Arum to negotiate. If there are businessman that understand that side, then this boxers might be taken advantage of and fights not being broadcast. So there could be some that hate Arum and others, but they are the one who build boxing to where it is today and boxers earning millions in return.

You can say it like that way, and it also payed for boxers like ODL or Floyd to get out of their contract and established their own boxing promotions, Golden Boy Promotions and TMT for Floyd.

So there are positive things like Bob and Don King being a boxing manager, making millions for themselves, and then taking advantage of many boxers already. I guess for boxers, if they really don't know how to take care of their money because of lack of education maybe, the fault might be on themselves as this is a busines, and they have to deal with their manager as businessman taking cuts on their every fight.

That includes Manny Pacquiao who founded and owned the MP Promotions, Pacquiao severed his ties with Bob Arum somewhere in 2018 and his own venture is now promoting him afterwards, IIRC. Truly Bob Arum and Don King are the two biggest names if we're talking about promoters, they are already on the game for quite some time now even before PBC and DAZN was known or other huge promotional companies now.

It's just that Oscar Dela Hoya, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are bright enough to think about the future and how much money they could get if they will start their own promotional company from scratch and just using their fame as a capital to attract investors and boxers. Right now, the promotional companies of the 3 mentioned legends are already successful.
1389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: November 17, 2022, 02:08:42 PM
Their records are quite close with one another, I'm not even seeing Thurman's first loss as a disadvantage. Spence is still on a streak but I guess he's still the 'underdog' (only on my point of view) if this match is really happening. One reason is experience of Thurman wherein he fought against big names of boxing industry (well spence as well) but I don't know; there's something with Thurman's previous opponents not only with pacman, which made me a bit of his fan. More like Thurman is more of a solid puncher for me, compared to Spence who often boxes out 'coz he's more of a texbook fighter.

Would be really a great match up. Big respect to the champ still even if I'm a fan of Thurman. Both have advantages;different styles in the 'square'. This would be exciting for sure!

This fight has been ordered by the WBC and that reason alone is already sufficient to believe that this fight will push through but I'm thinking that Spence might just give Thurman a shot on the WBC belt and not all the three titles that Spence has been holding, there's a reason why and it goes way back when Spence was looking forward to be a challenger of the WBA belt that Thurman held at that time, but he was denied. Not sure about this because I cannot find any article or story that can verify Spence's claim.

Anyway, fate made them to cross each other's path again and this time it's almost inevitable, just waiting for the final announcement regarding their match-up. This will be a good fight because Keith Thurman does have a good chance against Errol Spence, this will be fun.

though we will expect that spence will be the favourite here when it comes to odds. but for those rooting with thurman as for sure, he will seriously prepare on this fight, would be good to place bet as the odds will be good, may be 2x or more. we will see on this fight also if thurman is ready on this comeback and if he can fight big names to get a place again on this sports.

No doubt! The bookies will judge the boxer's recent fights and performance before they display it for the bettors and because of that, Spence will be the favourite to win as he came from an outstanding win from Ugas while Thurman will be the underdog as he have just returned recently and defeated one tune-up fight from being inactive for quite a long time. That being said, Thurman's odds will be juicy and might differ greatly from Spence's.

I'd say it is not possible in that given time, 6 months is not enough. It is said that Canelo Alvarez just came from a surgery from the injury in his wrist that he sustained while preparing for Bivol and things got worst after his fight with Bivol. That said, his camp is expecting a long lay-off and Canelo might be back somewhere in the 3rd or 4th quarter in the year 2023, but it is not guaranteed that he will face Bivol right after because his camp might give him a tune-up fight first.

As for Canelo's chances against Bivol, it's still the same and hasn't improve even a bit. It was too clear that Canelo is not built for the natural guys in the Light-heavyweight division. Bivol is his limits, he just got lucky from that Kovalev fight.

Oh.. I was unaware of this injury issue. So that means that the rematch may not happen as planned, at least not on May 2023. From what I heard, Canelo has a torn cartilage in his left wrist, and he underwent surgery to take care of that. Now this is a serious injury, and I don't really expect any action from him for Q1 and Q2 2023. And he will be in recovery and rehabilitation mode and therefore I don't expect much for Q3 2023 as well. BTW, I agree with your assessment that Canelo should stay out of Light heavyweight division.

Canelo could've activated that rematch right away after Bivol's victory as it came to light that there's a delay before the latter can participate a unification fight, but he just cannot do anything for now because of his current situation and his still on the process of recovering and under rehabilitation. Safe to assume that we may hear from Canelo's side regarding the rematch somewhere 2nd quarter next year.

Quote
BTW, I agree with your assessment that Canelo should stay out of Light heavyweight division.

He should've but now it's too late because he started the war already, it's still best to make the fight happen while he can still take advantage of the money he could get on their rematch. He doesn't have any reasons to worry anymore because he doesn't have anything to lose either.
1392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: November 16, 2022, 04:18:02 PM
Naoya Inoue is known as Japan's Bruce Lee for a reason.  

A true martial arts fanatic.  He is crazy about boxing and knows all the intricacies of this martial art.  I really like his fighting style.  He throws most of his punches with his front hand.  The fist moves along a minimal trajectory, and the enemy is forced to constantly be on the defensive.

Naoya is an absolutely unpredictable boxer.  He constantly changes his fighting style, and this terrifies all his opponents.  But they do not have time to really get scared (because they get a terrible blow to the body and they no longer have time to feel fear).  

It will be very difficult for Butler to box with such a strong opponent.

Not just in Japan alone, he is also the Bruce Lee in the boxing industry with monstrous strength that by far, only Nonito Donaire have managed to put him on edge but then he keeps on evolving as time goes by and have managed to master both offense and defense. So, that makes him more unpredictable aside from constant changes in his fighting style, and that scares his future foes because they will need to make an expensive mistake just to figure out Inoue's style and weakness. By that time that they know, Inoue already defeated them, that's how terrifying this monster is. I bet the champions in the super-bantam are already worried because they are about to face a tough challenger.

Yes, after that experienced against the Pinoy flash he evolves a lot and continue in enhancing his skills,
the IQ that he has makes him more unpredictable.

He can adjust while fighting something that his opponent will be hard to box him, with his strong combination and the perfect
timing of his speed Butler's chance of winning is too slim.

We are just waiting for the date and for Inoue to complete his chase in holding all the belts in his division.


Inoue made Donaire as a motivation to mature and develop his skills to become much stronger in his next fights because the aging Donaire managed to push him in corner, so he thinks that he should improve because he cannot cement his legacy if he'll be predictable.

Now, as we saw him in his recent fight, he's already different and much agile than he is before. Even the Flash cannot predict nor read his movements and only knew the attack the moment he already suffered it. Anyway, the fight is nearing its schedule, I'm just excited on Inoue's post-fight statements regarding his move.
1393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo on: November 16, 2022, 09:39:36 AM
I am really not a fan of exhibition match since most boxer who does this do it for the money, take Mayweather and Logan Paul for instance. If you retire from boxing keep it as it is, stop for good and stop going back just to make some money. Not to mention most of it are scripted.

Just because you are not fun of the exhibition match, you will stop them from making money?  If you don't like exhibition matches, there is always an option to avoid them.  Besides no one is forcing us to watch an exhibition match. 

I believe Exhibition matches is a good thing for retired boxers, first, it is one way of making money.  They can further sustain their old age since  they will have more funds in their pocket.  Second, many fans wanted to see their idols box again and is willing to pay just to make their wish happen,

That's right! You're rights to avoid watching their exhibition fight is the same exact right they are also exercising to make fights while they can still market the fight because of their fame. Nobody is forcing us to watch them or at least show some sympathy just because they are doing fights, moreover, it's already expected that some of them will still return in the spotlight even if they are already retired. Just let them be mate, and I expect that you won't watch Pacquiao's return because you said yourself that you're not a fan of exhibition fights.
1394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: November 16, 2022, 09:10:24 AM
^ Yes, that's the thing when fighters are under contract, in this case Spence under PBC. He can't do anything if the management says that he needs to fight boxer A. So even if he doesn't want to, for sure he will be force to fight Thurman next as they have been mandated.

As of now, Spence is still blaming Crawford for their fight not happening.

And with that, both fighters now have move on, they will have their own schedule fight. Not sure though if the doors is still open for another set of negotiations if they win their respective fights as Crawford make it public as what is the reasons.

I think you mean Crawford's blaming Spence including Al because they are the main factors on why the unification fight suddenly become hard and impossible for Crawford. Well, it's understandable that Spence cannot do anything because Crawford was in that same situation too when he was still with Bob Arum. I just pity Crawford because he waited long enough to the point that he was already inactive for a year, and this is what he received.

Yes, but still though, you can sense that Spence is not going to accept it in public that they are the reasons for this falling out.

Crawford recognized that he can't make the fight with Bob, and so he decided not to sign the contract. And yet why the fight didn't still happen? They said Top Rank and PBC are not in good terms, unfortunately even if Crawford is no longer with Top Rank and try to negotiate himself in the fight, PBC tries everything in their power to not just give him a fair deal, but stall the fight multiple times since May.

Just show how powerful Al Haymon is in the business of boxing. Powerful enough to not push the fight in one of the biggest in 147 lbs in recent years. And it seems to me that Spence Jr have been sort of brainwashed that he didn't need Crawford to be great or a legend. But we think otherwise.

Maybe the camp of Spence and Al Haymon will be silent about that issues until it settles down. But that is a sign that somewhat what Crawford says in public is true as they are not refuting it at all.

Being silent did not helped their situation at all because that way, they are just feeding the people information they needed that they are indeed the ones who ducked and needs to be blamed on why the fight did not happen. Spence may think that Al just wants to help him and preserve his status but sooner or later, he will find himself in the same shoes as Crawford because he risk with the chance to cement his legacy when he had the chance.

Yes, until now they are still playing dumb amidst the issues and I'm sure they will do that until the situation cools down while taking another route to keep themselves busy rather than facing the issues thrown at them. Meanwhile, Spence is now taking Thurman next and it's a money fight again but still interesting to see because Thurman proved us that he still got the skills to face the biggest names in his division including Errol Spence.
1395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 16, 2022, 08:50:13 AM
As long as Joel Embiid is healthy and plays like that, I'll see Philadelphia as a serious contender. He is doing incredible work and elevating his team. A few games later, Sixers will be back in the play-off spot. I haven't seen a team that stands out so much this season. Boston and Milwaukee are in similar level as Philly. In the Western Conference there is no team that stands out much. It looks a little more balanced there. I was expecting a fall in Golden State but what happened to Lakers? They fell off worse than I expected. LeBron should go to a better team to chase another championship.

Yes, as long as Embiid will still be playing healthy with the Sixers, they will be fine as their big man numerously proved that he can do almost all the work to bring the team to a win plus there's Maxey and Harden. They will remain a heavy team and a threat to the others.

About the Lakers, well, there's not much interesting for them as of now as they are just winning every after 5 consecutive defeats, but they sure do hope that their AD is as healthier as Embiid of Sixers and not an injury magnet. Aside from that, they are still struggling to be consistently in-synch and their defense is not that fine as well, they won't reach far if there's no improvement from them.

For those who are interested on the results of the Floyd Mayweather vs social media star Deji Olatunji, it was a 6th round stoppage of the schedule 8th rounds.

Quote
Referee Kenny Bayless stepped between them late in the sixth round to stop the bout because Mayweather landed unanswered punches.

The Hall-of-Fame fighter danced between rounds, laughed and joked during much of the two-minute rounds and clearly wasn’t worried about anything Olatunji threw back at him. Whenever inclined, Mayweather landed at will on Olatunji’s body and head.

Mayweather opened up on Olatunji as soon as the sixth round started, when he finally felt like knocking out Olatunji.

https://www.boxingscene.com/floyd-mayweather-toys-with-youtuber-deji-olatunji-stops-him-6th-round-exhibition--170446

And so easy win and money for Floyd, maybe another Japanese at the end of the year for him?

We will have to wait for Pacquiao's exhibition match this December though and then after that he has a schedule as well next year.

This doesn't surprise me anymore and I stopped following his future fights because it's not that interesting anymore because his fights are just pure business without any entertainments. The thing that surprises me the most is how is this guy getting more fights each year? And it seems that there are still rich businessmen out there who are willing to pay Mayweather's extravagant fee in exchange of fighting their famous fighters, that is not even near Mayweather's caliber or at least can make the fight a little interesting.
1398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: November 15, 2022, 02:25:40 PM
Canelo should forget that burden and the pressure to get revenge because his chances are still the same, slim, in any given divisions. He cannot do nothing about it because Bivol already proved how hard can he be as an opponent. It's best to take advantage of the situation while he's still hyped against Bivol, rather than risking what he got in 168 lbs.

I heard that Canelo is planning to take on Bivol in around 6 months from now (May 2023). Is this confirmed? Recently there was a statement from Julio Cesar Chavez, who is one of the legends in boxing. It was more like an advice, rather than a statement. He warned Canelo to stay clear of Bivol. As per Chavez, Canelo has zero chance of beating Bivol and I agree with his assessment. And look at the way in which Bivol destroyed Zurdo. Do you guys really believe that Canelo would be able to stand up to this giant? LOL.. Bivol is more like a machine rather than human. 

I'd say it is not possible in that given time, 6 months is not enough. It is said that Canelo Alvarez just came from a surgery from the injury in his wrist that he sustained while preparing for Bivol and things got worst after his fight with Bivol. That said, his camp is expecting a long lay-off and Canelo might be back somewhere in the 3rd or 4th quarter in the year 2023, but it is not guaranteed that he will face Bivol right after because his camp might give him a tune-up fight first.

As for Canelo's chances against Bivol, it's still the same and hasn't improve even a bit. It was too clear that Canelo is not built for the natural guys in the Light-heavyweight division. Bivol is his limits, he just got lucky from that Kovalev fight.

Congrats to those who win last night, I intentionally skip in my betting, just to reset and take a rest.

I'm looking at the Kings and Nets game, Kings is a revelation this season, they have the advantage of having a rest while the Nets are into a back to back and coming from a lost. So I will bet early -2.5 and then just look for other games and bet live.

Yes, congrats to them Grin My bet didn't go through because I rode with the Bucks and took the leap even if Giannis was probable to play but then I found out that he played that's why I thought my bet got better chances. Unfortunately, that didn't help the situation at all. Live betting is much safer these days because the league has been so unpredictable.

That said, I will try my luck tomorrow betting live. Good luck guys!

How about Joel Embiid putting up the best stat line of the year so far last night. He got 59 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 blocks. A monster night. He also scored 26 of the 76ers final 27 points. He did it all while shooting 19 of 28 from the field. They’re saying it was a Wilt Chamberlin style stat line. Not bad.

Joel Embiid now joined Wilt Chimberlain and Michael Jordan in record books, he's been so consistent lately and he must be proud to himself as the only Sixers in history to do that and made a 40+ points triple double.

Just yesterday I was reading that the 76ers were trying to work a deal to get Durant to Philly…

I've read that article too, but I think that it is far from reality. The Sixers won't destroy their current system just to add Durant and his kind of play in their equation, that will take some time again before they can stand up again, and it's proven that Durant with Harden is not a good idea, other than that, they can't probably meet the Nets request in exchange for KD.
