It was a cool moment in the press conference for this fight when Anderson Silva, Jake Paul, & Logan Paul recreated a picture they took 13 years ago when the Paul brothers were just kids happy to meet Silva. Google it if you haven’t seen the side by side images. It’s pretty cool that they did that. Anderson Silva seems like a really great guy. I hope the fight goes well for him.
Found it. I am glad Anderson Silva can still remember it as he said in the press conference. If I am that, it's not easy to have a memory of those things especially when you banged in the head many times. "Now I am fighting you." said Jake Paul. There's no heat happening, everything is full of respect and Silva is also known for that so I guess it will just be up to who will win the fight. But isn't it a bit difficult to fight someone you have nothing against but just respect? In the name of entertainment they will still fight. I cant remember one Silva's fight that is boring enough so they didnt need to hype with trashings. Jake vs Anderson wouldn't be boring too unless they will prove the fight to just an exhibition once the result is a draw. He might as well be fighting youtubers like him. This fight is not an exhibition fight mate, I already looked it up and found out that this will count as professional fight for Jake and pro-boxing debut for Silva's side. Aside from entertainment, Jake Paul will be so honored because he is now fighting the man whom he have pure respect ever since he is still a kid, Jake already looked up Silva. I just hope that it won't be too clear that they are just both after the money without having an entertaining fight, I really hope so! |

Getting rid of Davis is not on the Laker's radar for now because as of this moment they are prioritizing Westbrook on a trade to avoid paying his high salary in fear of getting minimum production from him, they just wanted to get rid of him asap while getting a valuable player in exchange. Also, I seriously don't think that the Blazers will trade Lillard for Davis, that's just not true.
I don't think the Lakers are prioritizing on Westbrook trade. If it does, we should see them aggressively talking with other teams. Trading Westbrook is just open and they are just waiting for good offers. If none satisfies them, then they will just keep Westbrook instead. We know how the Lakers do business and if they want to trade players, they can easily do it even if there are issues. But since the Lakers just seem relaxed, it's optional for them if Westbrook will be traded or not. You think so? I understand mate, but I'm really sensing the opposite thing because the Lakers are trying to avoid giving Westbrook his last salary and they prefer acquiring a player with a much lesser value but can play better than Westbrook. Also, trade speculations won't keep on surfacing if they aren't looking a new home for Westbrook. |

The only advantage of Butler here is on the height comparison, he is 5′ 6″ while Inoue is 5′ 5″, but it's not a big deal because, for Inoue, he can make his opponent vow down, Donaire was even taller with 5′ 7" but he did not last against the monster Inoue.
that 1 inch advantage is nothing if we will compare to what are the advantages of Inoue against Butler . from the stamina and experiences ? and from whom He defeated ? I'm sure that inch means nothing to this Monster from japan , he is not afraid of anyone and he had proven that from defeating one of the toughest in that division Nonito Donaire so there is no one can hinder Him from taking another momentum . Inoue will just use his quickness and his opponent will get knocked out. That's the kind of outcome I'm expecting in this fight as Butler is not a legit champion who ripped the belt of a champion by beating him, we have to remember that he got the belt because the champion got disqualified and he will never get the respect of the majority of the fans until he can beat a real champion, and in this case, it's Inoue. though we knew Inoue is much faster and accurate against butler but yet none can assure that there will be a knock out though many of us expecting this to come as the fight is a Monster against Human here. In how many occassions Inoue had proven His ability and capacity so I am looking also for a knocking down. If Butler will stay right in front Inoue without running mostly throughout the fight then we can somehow assume that the fight will likely end in knockout or by TKO, but we know that Butler already knew Inoue's monstrous strength so I don't really expect him to fight the latter in a toe-to-toe deathmatch nor test it as he knew that his skills is no where near the Japanese boxer. |

GGG ok it's going to be hard to predict how he's going to fight at 40. On the other side is a Canelo who came from defeat. I think GGG will be in the ring fit and in good condition. Will they go to desicion or in the match here or will either of them break one of them. I think Canelo can do it, Tko. But I don't think the match will end with TKO. I think there are a lot of parameters that will be a good trilogy, I think both of them will not play risky, they will play each other equally to the points. Good fight night GG.
Most of the experts predicted that this fight will go to the judges' scorecards, or if there's a KO, it should be Canelo winning the fight. Yes, GGG is already 40 years old, but is it right to call him old? I don't think so, he won his previous fight and I'm sure he still has a lot to offer and he can entertain us in this fight. This could be his retirement fight if he losses, so hopefully he will not. Canelo Alvarez vs Gennadiy Golovkin 3 odds
Favorite Odds Underdog Odds
Canelo Alvarez -500 Gennadiy Golovkin +333 https://www.covers.com/boxing/canelo-alvarez-vs-gennady-golovkin-3-oddsCanelo is heavily favored based on the betting odds. Well, Golovkin is not that agile anymore compared to his prime years but the thing about him is that he can still win fights because of the IQ he acquired throughout those years he's been fighting and Golovkin haven't tasted another defeat after Canelo. Also, those said experts are not that real expert in boxing nor can predict the outcome, those people are just self-proclaimed experts. Still, I believe that Golovkin can still make Canelo struggle and can beat him, and based on that odds, betting on Golovkin quite tasty. |

Westbrook was healthy last season and yet he doesn't play like a real big 3. If Davis will have a great season, I hope Westbrook will not ruined his moment as his inconsistency is really a big problem to the team, especially during crucial times.
The upcoming season will probably be Westbrook's last chance to prove to everyone that he can still dominate the court and perform impressively like an all-star player. So if Westbrook is able to analyze his poor performance from the previous season and draw appropriate conclusions, he could be useful for the Lakers. Although I honestly don't have much faith in that. I do not think that Westbrook has anything to show for anymore, he lost his super fast moves and he can't drive anymore and his "act like driving but stop and shoot midrange" act is not getting anything important and he is missing them too. Which means that he is going to just get worse and worse and he would be lucky to find a minimum salary next season. His future is just like Carmelo Anthony's future, dude was one of the best scorers of his era and then he wasn't even wanted, same will happen to Westbrook. But he can still drive to the basket though, but there were times that he will missed a dunk or easy shots inside and that's why he prepared those middle shot bank. Just remember that when he was in Washington, he was still super athletic and even lead them to the playoffs. Something that just really happen to Westbrook when he plays with the Lakers. Carmelo though is not as athletic as Russ though during his prime, he is just pure scoring machine. Both Carmelo and Westbrook will be in the same path because they failed to maintain their strengths after their prime years is over and actually, that is the biggest challenge for being an player, well except for being an injury prone, because if you can't maintain your style and strengths then surely you will be in free agent in no time just like what happen to Carmelo now. And soon, Westbrook too because this is the last year of his contract in Lakers and I don't think that the Lakers will give him an extension too because of fact that the team is currently busy to get him traded. Westbrook is only 33 years old(born in 88). He should not be mentioned like this in these matters. He was a great player and didn't have a big injury. He should have been at his utmost physical level last year, for sure. I mean, ok for some players some of their body parts are worn out so much and we can see a performance drop like a player with knee issues but Westbrook didn't have anything like that. He should be more fit and has to show better performances, physically. I respect Carmelo a lot for he is still performing solid offensively considering his age. I think if Anthony Davis was healthy, both of Westbrook's and Carmelo's overall performance will be better. Or we would not need to notice that Lakers sucked. I understand you mate but we cannot deny that Westbrook will likely join the free agency just like Carmelo soon if the Lakers won't re-sign him or there will be some other teams in the league that would get him. As of now, he is given a chance because he still have 1 season left in his contract but it also looks like that the Lakers are finding some other players that will be traded for him as they already gave up on having some hopes for Westbrook. Yes, he is still 33 years old and maintained to be physically healthy but what would that do to the league if he is not a playmaker anymore? |

Great news, now, is the camp of Lomachenko willing to take the challenge? It's going to be a big fight this year for sure, I think selling this fight would not be hard and it's going to be 50-50 or 60-40 in our favorite bookies. Anyway, without minding the betting odds, I think this fight is worth to wait for. Yes, that's really something that the boxing fans would love to see, I'm sure that kind of fight will bring a huge hype with all the fan all over the globe, Loma and Haney is something that would magnetized the crowd, the way they fought and the entertaining value of these two great fighters, they are going to create a huge noise once they've been able to win both their upcoming fights. Right now, the news will somehow great an early hype for the possibilities of seeing them inside the ring. At last! We are given an another big fight that will be exciting to see in the future after this because frankly, I'm not that excited anymore to see the outcome in this rematch because Haney will still be likely win and there's no denying that his chances in winning are much more higher than Kambosos's chances. And now that Loma is set to fight Haney if both will win in their respective fights, the people are already excited about the fact and cannot wait to see them dancing together in the ring. |

It's just been confirmed what was already widely known that Jake will be fighting former UFC fighter Anderson Silva. I'm not really sure this is any tougher than Tyron Woodley given Silva's age but it won't be a push over either. Personally I was hoping Jake would get the Tommy Fury fight sorted but I guess we'll have to wait for that now. Hopefully Jake fights a true boxer after this because people won't stop complaining that he's only fighting washed up fighters way past their prime and that isn't going to change with this bout given Silva is pushing 50.
Man! I really thought that this is just an another exhibition fight of one of the Paul Bros. and thought that Jake just wanted to get himself on track and get heated because his fight against Rahman Jr. was cancelled. Surely, I am surprised that this is a professional boxing fight, so I guess this means that this is a debut for Anderson Silva as well. Hopefully Jake fights a true boxer after this because people won't stop complaining that he's only fighting washed up fighters way past their prime and that isn't going to change with this bout given Silva is pushing 50. And that won't be changed as he will still be viewed as a kind of boxer who just wanted to fight washed out fighters because in his 6 bouts, including this one, he still haven't faced a true professional boxer and adding Silva on his list will still be viewed as an exhibition fight in the eyes of the boxing fans. |

@bbc.reporter - Here is what Inoue tell us about his potential fight with Fulton at 122 lbs, hehehe. “I watched the Fulton-Brandon Figueroa fight,” Inoue told Daisuke Sugiura of RingTV. “Fulton is a technical fighter. He can keep his distance very well. I only watched one of his fights and I don’t think the Figueroa fight was his best, so I’d rather not say much more. If we fight each other, I think it will be a great technical battle. It won’t be an easy fight. Fulton has a long reach, and I think it’s about how (well I close) the distance.” https://www.boxingscene.com/inoue-on-fulton-if-we-fight-each-other-i-think-it-great-technical-battle--168964So he believes that it will be a chess match between the two. Probably the same when he fought Donaire the first time during the finals of WBSS tournament. Lots of close round, hard to score and there will be momentum shifts in the fight. Must respect for Inoue, he never underestimates his opponents that's why you can really see how prepared he is when it comes to the fight. I think he would dominate like he always does, although his words respect his possible opponent. His humbleness will make him a great fighter, or a hall of Famer in the future. I believe that after he will win as the undisputed champion, he will plan of moving up and he could be a very scary contender. As long as he remains humble and continues to train, I have a feeling that he could come close to Pacman in terms of achievement. |

In comparison to him, Canelo is quite a young man. His age is 32, and I think that he has at least three more years to go in his career before he retires. In all honesty, this has been a great rivalry, and I would like to see it come to a good end. So whatever the odds I will choose GGG in this fight.
32 years is young compared to 40 years old GGG, however, we should think that GGG has not beaten after Canelo beat him, so we cannot tell he is already old, let's just see the fight to prove if GGG is really old, what if GGG will beat Canelo? How would people would think then? |

I just read an article that said the Lakers are considering trading Anthony Davis for Damian Lillard. I'm pretty sure these reporters are just making things up for clicks now, as I don't see either team wanting to make that trade. The idea of LeBron and Dame on the same team is pretty exciting though. I put a 1% chance on that happening, but it's still fun to think about. They're both killers on the court and I imagine would make one hell of a playoff run no matter who else is around them.
They are mixing things up just to make a scoop or yes it's just for clickbait. The Lakers are lacking sharpshooters so reporters are trying to figure out who or what team they are making a deal with. Reports last time were Lakers being interested with Bojan Bogdanovic and Mike Conley, iirc. https://nba.nbcsports.com/2022/09/10/report-suns-lakers-mavericks-knicks-all-interested-in-bojan-bogdanovic-trade/Those veterans should think about pushing that trade as the Jazz will be nowhere near the playoffs next season and it will pause their championship chance. So, let's also expect more rumors will come out about sharpshooters being linked to the Lakers team. Not a good idea, Davis for Lillard, I don't think that will make the Lakers better. I guess the right thing to do is to trade Westbrook for Lillard, that if the Blazers will accept the trade, as for sure Lakers will be happy with that. |

Unfortunately, the other guy you mentioned is the culprit. Sadly, proves once again, the not your keys, not your coin saying to be true. Trust is a tough thing, can't even give family a pass. Are you going to confront the culprit?
It would help in this case in order to have clarity of what really happens. It's up to the culprit, to tell the truth, or lie, and even those people around him will think of different views of that person and in their minds, he can never be trusted. Sometimes, we need to keep some secret from our family. I'd found it right for some of our family members may think differently and even betray us. They might be good to us but have also an evil plan. |

The thing is, Inoue can withstand the punches of Donaire, which I believe punched way harder than Butler. So with that, I believe Butler's power punch isn't a problem for Inoue. But of course, it is just what I think and may be proven wrong. and that i can believe the monster will still be victorious. one can consider this a mismatch since inoue is a top p2p boxer. inoueis built to absorb hits and counter a stronger punch. you can visually see donaire put a mass to his right cross but are just lightly taken by inoue. if it were just the kind of Fernando Montiel, the opponent will already wobble on the ground. That is his forte, his weakness is still a mystery that can be expensive to know when boxers are trying to know it as it will just lead them into a possible defeat. Inoue has managed to master his offensive strikes as well as his defensive maneuvers while giving a counter-attack, he already knows that there will be a lot of times that he will get punched that is why he is training to absorb that punches for him to get a good counter-attack. And as for Butler, I bet he doesn't want to find out Inoue's weakness because that means he is having a toe-to-toe fight with the monster, and Butler just probably want to fight the latter safely until he finish the whole 12-round fight. |

As per Shakur, we might see him moving up to 135 lbs sooner than expected because he admitted that his body has difficulty making the 130 lbs limit. “It all depends on the weight cut at the end of the day,” said Stevenson during an interview with Thaboxingvoice. “I done (did) amazing things at 130-pounds already. My last two fights to be specific, I done put on shows and I done did a lot at the weight, so if I struggle with the weight cut and it be hard on me, I think I’m going up to 135. Tell them boys get ready.” https://www.boxingscene.com/shakur-stevenson-move-up-135-sooner-expected-tell-them-boys-get-ready--168907And we all know that his target is Tank Davis. So if ever he wins and if he think that he is going to struggle to make the weight cut again, he will definitely go up. And then the 135 lbs will continue to be one of the most stock up weight classes. I think we have a discussion that Shakur could clean up this division first or unify all the belts. But it seems that this might not be the plan after this fight with Robson. If he can't squeeze 130 lbs in that body so there's no need to force him and still fight in this division. It might backfire on him as weight is a big issues for boxers. So yeah, he is all welcome to come in the next great weight class (besides the super welterweight). That is the original plan and it will be pursued if Shakur can find some good way to keep his body at 130 lbs., but if ever he can't force his body anymore then it will be best for him to move to a higher weight class while he is still young because he will still struggle the same issues when he grows older. Besides, he is welcome to try fighting at 135 lbs. where Tank is situated. |

My guess is that Seattle will have a brand new name because, in the past, the Seattle Supersonics merged and moved their team to OKC. Also, Adam Silver said that "The NBA may soon be adding a pair of new teams in Las Vegas and Seattle" so it's likely safe to say that these teams will be brand new. Anyway, we will know it soon during the pre-season match of Clippers and Lakers. Little side talk, Mayweather and Lebron James have expressed their interest in owning an NBA team in Las Vegas. So maybe these two highest paid athletes will become a partial owner of the new team in Las Vegas but only one of them will be a majority holder for sure. |

Is anybody here following Haney's Twitter? I like how he is being vocal and at the same time trolling or trash-talking. Last month, Haney was trolling Teofimo Lopez calling his performance like a poor one against a non-ranked fighter.
This month of September he is targeting Tank Davis, calling his WBA regular belt a Mickey Mouse belt. Of course, the WBA belt is not a major title since Haney got the Super WBA belt and all the remaining belts in the division. It's funny because prior to becoming an undisputed champion, Haney was called an e-mail champ after his WBC interim belt was upgraded as the WBC champion after the corrupt WBC president Sulaiman tried to introduce its new WBC Franchise (similar to Super WBA belt) belt as a major belt with higher credits than the usual WBC belt.
I actually like that he's too vocal, honest,, and opinionated at the same time. Most of his tweets are reliable though he's calling out other boxer's performances in a negative way yet his honest with his reviews. Other boxers and fans are already aware that Haney is just vocal at everything. He says things straight forward without fearing anyone. He's just giving back the favor that he received some time ago, just like you said, he was used to be called as an e-mail champ. Now that he is the undisputed boxer in lightweight, he can now say anything what he likes to say to his fellow boxers in the same division as long as he doesn't cross any line. And of course, he has the right as he now boast to be the boxer to unify the belts in the said division. |

Spence's doctor said that it will be critical for him if he pursues the fight because it will lead him to blindness as he can't really avoid getting punched in his eye.
They think it's a bluff although I don't see any reason why to think of that. People have just to move on that issue as it is now settled. Either way, if Pacquiao's fight against Spence pushes through, Pacman might suffer a much more painful defeat as he is not fully focused on his boxing. Ugas turned Pacquiao into a punching bag wherein Spence did the same against Ugas after the replacement. Going back to the topic, Spence is not that coward but just playing business over legacy. And that's the reality because if that fight wasn't cancelled, I'm afraid Pacquiao might get defeated by a way of KO/TKO instead of decision just like how Pacquiao got defeated by Ugas. Spence and his camp already provided a thorough reason why that fight didn't happened and he proved as well that he can still fight good after the surgery after all the speculations that he can't fight the same anymore because of that injury he acquired. Well, I'd say look at Ugas, it's like he's been swarmed by a group of Hornets or bees. |

This fight does not need trash talk to hype it, it was the fans who requested to see it and here it is, so I can say that it's going to be a sold-out fight and the fans will be entertained watching this. Canelo is the winner in the previous match but anything can happen here, GGG could win here and maybe retire to give Canelo a lesson that trash talking is bad.
Canelo just hates GGG for backstabbing him in the past now this is his time to take revenge, there's really no need to thrash talking show off on this fight, they are not meeting for the first time this is their third match its time for both fighters to show respect, GGG is doing that he is more concentrated on the fight while Canelo is not, he is thrash talking GGG he seldom does that to his opponents, I think GGG is getting in his head and he is aware that he badly needs to win this fight, to climb to the all-time greats again. Whatever his reason, it doesn't look good on him because we idolized Canelo and we know he is not a trashtalker. Thing is, if he gets trashtalked, he is easily affected, so that's not good because it will lose his concentration in the fight, and I'm afraid this time the judges won't be able to save him. Come on, let us not be sensitive here, this is boxing, it's entertainment and therefore trash talking is just normal. It's something that will add spices on the fight and so that people will keep talking, and as a result, they'll be able to sell more tickets for more profits, simple as that. That's why Canelo should know better that a trashtalk is just normal to hear prior the fights and GGG is just trying to mess up Canelo's mind, to think, Canelo has been a lot sensitive recently especially when he is not seeing or getting what he is preparing for and he need to control that because that could mess his strategies big time. I know that there's a lot of pressure building on his shoulders because of the upset he experienced recently and then there's this pressure to win this trilogy because this is his ticket against Bivol in a rematch. If Canelo will be sensitive again in this fight because GGG has been rooted to win more by the fans then I really think that the judges cannot help him this time around. |

In the recent article I have posted, it's clear that Ancajas is having difficulty maintaining his weight that's why they hired a new nutritionist to help him be in good shape for this rematch. The camp stated that because of how Ancajas struggles to catch the required weight, he becomes not 100% on the fight which should not be a reason why they end up losing.
We need to trust his team as no choice after all but to support him.
If that's the case then he really needs to work things out just for this fight and he might consider moving to the upper division where he is more comfortable and with some worthy opponents waiting for him. of course, it is completely different and if he can adopt in that weight class as soon as possible, he can also be one of the top boxers there. All he needs to do right now is to train and dedicate this fight for his dream so that he will have a strong motivation to never give up. Ancajas should give his focus and determination first to win this rematch so he can win back his title too. If he has difficulty in reaching the required weight, for sure the team is already working on it so he will be totally fit for the upcoming fight. I want to bet on Ancajas this time because I know his boxing potentials is high and he has still a lot of rooms to grow. He was the champion, this fight is just his chance for him to get back the belt, so nothing new here, he just have to make an improvement and beat Martinez. However, if the outcome will be the same as in the previous fight, then there's no room for him to grow anymore in this division, the next step should be leaving the division by going up. this is indeed a challenge on ancajas to get his title back. the required weight should not be a problem at all, because it needs work from himself and his camp. it should not be a problem at all but should focus on their strategies how to win his title back. as he already knew the possible weaknesses and strengths of his opponent, should not be too difficult for him to identify what areas he needs to take care of. A challenge that he must overcome at all cost because he will be just like his fellow Filipino boxer, Casimero, if that weight issues will keeps on surfacing especially now that the schedule is near. I guess that would be the toughest challenge a boxer could face in his career because his enemy is also his own self as it is preventing him to fight in his comfortable division. |
