^^There is also one fight that we haven't talking and it's Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin. Here's the official weigh-in,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0quLYVBNMs

---

And the fight is ongoing right now. Joshua is boxing good in the first 3 rounds and I would say that I give him 2 rounds out of 3.

Franklin did a better job in round 3 in avoiding Joshua's power punch and it seems his chin is holding on right now.

But let's see, too early yet and maybe the phase will pick up in the later rounds.

Edit: Joshua won by UD, The scores were 118-111, 117-111 and 117-111.

I have him 118-111 in my unofficial scorecard.

@bisdak40 - it's decision win and that odds, ohh, hehehe.

It's probably just Haney trying to bargain for himself to get more money. But for sure Bob Arum knows it and most likely either talk Haney about it or just give in to the demands just like what he said during the Pacquiao vs Hatton fight wherein Hatton wanted another million and he says that he give it out of his own pocket just to make the fight (not sure if this is true though).


He will definitely cemented his legacy in this fight if he won against Loma fair and square (Loma being healthy and 100% in this fight and no longer affected by the war going on in his native Ukraine). Yeah, Loma is a HOF boxer, one of the best Olympian that went and become pro and become a world champion. He has accomplished a lot in just short amount of time as a pro boxer. And his skills, we haven't seen anyone as technical as him before.

Oh well, 2 bad early picks for me, so I did the live betting on the Lakers vs T'Wolves, bet at half time when the Lakers are down by 10 points.



And it did take a lot from the Lakers to get back and make a huge run in the third quarter. AD is unstoppable in the last 6 minutes of the game although he had one bad fall and I thought that it's another season ender for him.

After that, the Lakers wake up from their misery, and it was the combination of Dennis, James, Vanderbilt, D'Lo, and Reaves.

A must win for them and they deliver.

What a huge comeback from the Lakers in the last two quarters to win this very important game, and even if Davis looks like to be going down again with another injury, he comes back and score crucial points for them in the fourth quarter, finishing with a high 38 points. And there are another five players who score in double digits.

I love how the Lakers put a defensive clinic in the third, they didn't allow any easy points for the T'Wolves and then they score to lose their rhythm, KAT didn't have the percentage in three point area. And it seems that Anthony Edwards is sick leading up to this game as he also scored 11 points. And it was Mike Conley with 25 points. And with this win the Lakers move up to 9th place.

If I remember correctly, https://swcpoker.club/ is carrying this game, but not sure though if the discontinue it already for lack of players.

For all other games, its mostly local to us and so I doubt that crypto based casinos is going to open it unless there is a huge demand for it. And not just Philippine games though, there could be other games that is local to one country and they could be also lobbying casinos to list it to no avail because again for the same reason, they needed money to developed it and so before doing it, there should be some business behind like (making money).

The press conference kick off:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQxR1tzUjrM

Yeah, this is real fight, all the belts on the line and two of the best fighter in 135 lbs. Just love what the Haney's are saying on Loma though, there is respect, but we all know that when this two steps in the ring, then it's going to be war. I expect a clean fight, and their style are contrasting, Haney though still a huge favorite, Loma almost 3:1 underdog. In contrast against Davis vs Garcia, this could be the biggest fight though, in terms of the belt on the line and the legacy that either boxer is going to make, whoever wins. And it's funny though that Bill Haney is saying that the Davis vs Garcia fight is comparable to a exhibition match, hehehehe.

For Haney this is a validation for him to be the undisputed, beating Loma and cementing his legacy.

And if Loma wins, he will fulfill his dream to have all the belts, even comparing it to a Gold medal chase in the Olympics.

Here's my pick for tonight's game,

Philly vs Raptors, I already put a bet on the Raptors 6.5 early when the odds is still @1.83. But it seems it has moved a lot already, because that odd is now @1.72. Philly might win but might struggle to not cover their spread. Or at least Raptors pushing for a win for a spot in the playoff, they are in a 3 game winning streak now and on the .500 and technically they can still make it.

Hornets vs Bulls - I live the chance of the Hornets, although they are out, but they have been a solid momentum as well with their 3 game winning streak. While the Bulls is very inconsistent whether in the road or home game. Hornets 8.5 @2.01 (currently 2.20).

And most likely to bet live if I there is a good line or see which player are out or teams may have been resting them. Best of luck.

Just one example, you can enable it on Electrum if you wanted to have this capability in your open source wallet.


Yeah, basically that's it, so there's a lot of benefits to enable this features on a wallet. And I guess it should be the norm for every bitcoin user. Because just like in recent months, the fees has been tremendously high, it used to be a minimum 1 sat/vByte, but due to ordinals in which the mempool has been clogged those normal fees that we are used to are stuck and many are complaining how to accelerate or bump the fee.

If they only knew this features on most of the open source wallet, then they won't have any headaches. The cons is that you will have to used more than usual fees. And looking at the mempool now, 1 sat/vByte is no longer viable for a quick confirmation.

I guess the first goal is to become a champion first in the bantamweight and forget about the unification. And by chance Moloney won the other belt, then obviously Donaire won't fight him and vice versa. Because that is the original plan here, Moloney vs Donaire for the WBC vacant belt. Unfortunately, Top Rank has issues with Donaire's manager to the fight is scratch off and both made a different plan. So for now, there could be no unification in the table if both fighters win the belt.


That's why the best thing for Donaire is just win that belt first and then worry later. He has control if he won the vacated belt and maybe dictate the terms on when he will fight next who it is,  and the location. So he can fight once a year, or to an stretch twice if he can. He has been in this business for so long that he knows when to fight.

Ok let's hear the opinion of Shakur Stevenson, he will have his fight at 135 lbs later and this is his take in this fight.


https://www.boxingscene.com/shakur-stevenson-believe-ryan-garcia-iq-beat-tank--173482

So another fighter in the books who think that the odds are correct and it should be in favor of Davis because he believes that Ryan doesn't have the ring IQ and one dimensional and he blatantly attack and says that everything that Ryan got at this point of his career is like spoon feed for him but Golden Boy. Not sure what will be Ryan's response here, (I haven't seen one), but for sure he will not take this lightly and could be very well replied through his official and verified twitter account hehehe.

^^ Yeah, I think he can clean up that division and won all the belts, might be good challenge for him with the likes of O'Shaquie Foster or Hector Luis Garcia (which Tank Davis beat) and Emanuel Navarrete. It's going to be a good fight for him at 130 lbs and then beat those name above. But I guess it's the right division for him to move to 135 lbs, no business for him to stay when his body is saying otherwise.

Now he is on a different weight class, no need to cut that weight that hard, and he can train as hard as anyone without thinking of foods that he will need to eat or go into his system. So good choice for him. And in this fight, it's tune up as we have seen, maybe just trying to get a feel on his power and speed so this is still a test for him, could be sparring for some, but for sure his trainer is going to look at it very closely in tapes and see how Shakur performed at Lightweight for the first time as there could be somethings that he could improved to stay with the best like Haney and Loma.

True, we don't want to see this happened to athletes specially like Inoue who is still in his prime and already a star in his own right. Luckily, he has the same injury as like the best of the boxers, recently Canelo Alvarez also had to go to a surgery to fix the bone in his knuckles. But there could be worst injuries for a boxers like health issues that could lead them to not fight at all, or even some who suffered from mental issues too.

So there's a lot from this athletes, we think that they are super human because of Inoue's punching power, but it has a caveat, that is, the whole hand is not taking those power very lightly and sooner it's going to break. The good thing is that it's not that serious as it may seem and as I have posted the fight will go on July.

This is also want I suspected in the beginning, maybe he is being sponsored by the casino that's why he is not bothered losing that kind of big money. Although we know that his salary is huge, still $1 million is $1 million.

Good marketing by the casino, whoever it is, we have seen a lot of sports athletes and celebrities being endorsed by casino now to bolstered their earning. And just a year ago, we are just talking about Twitch banning gambling for good. But look at where it is right now, there are still steamers, big one still doing their thing on Twitch.

And with his reactions, it made me believed that this is a sponsored stream.


It could be poker or other games, because you can't simply lost that big amount in money in poker in short amount of time unless he goes all in with a bad card and his bluff was called by someone.

I think he exposed himself already in the BTC market as just riding the popularity of it. When he initially announced that his company Tesla is going to buy bitcoin as a reserved, obviously it was a big news to us, as the price goes up instantly. However, in 2022, in their Q2 earnings report, it was revealed that he sold 75% of their holding. And he said that they loss their investments (because of the bear market) and that Bitcoin has a negative impact on them.

And with that, we understand that it's more of a business moved for him to sell and most likely that he is just riding the bandwagon early.

So Bitcoin investors knows what's up with Elon and so we lost "trust" on this guy. Now he is not that influential to us and everything he says with Bitcoin on it is not going to affect us. He also attack Bitcoin mining and said that it is harmful to the environment which we know is very wrong in the beginning.

And it's not that we wanted to have this bank run or bank crisis, we don't. But if that happened and it did we have seen the worst and there could be more in the next couple of months and governments will have to bail them out. If this happens then BTC will always be the logical choice for smart investors or even average joe like most of us here in the community.

Again, as I have been pointing out, the resistance level is $28,500. We really need to break that in order to go up next month. And I would say that we have a breakout run already and if it continues then it is bullish for now and might reclaim that level again and can close this month with green candle which is a strong bullish sign.

Maybe Kyrie is not a perfect fit for a Luka tandem, just hard to dissect right now, maybe Kyrie is really trying to do his best and at some point, making such errors that is detrimental to the team and that's why Luka is very frustrated because the team should be improving as they let go some of their best players in Dinwiddie and Finnie-Smith in exchange of Kyrie. And perhaps those two had the last laugh since Mavs are no longer in a good position to enter the playoff while the Nets are into 6th place.


True, Charles will be Charles, it's that want cost him his friendship with MJ, he open his mouth and talk it real, and so if Durant can't take it, then he should be quiet. But the problem is that he will not let go of this criticism and he is going out in public to response. And the thing is that they can always go back to Charles and says shut your mouth because you don't know anything as you didn't even win a ring, hehehe.

There is another article that surface recently about Canelo and what he think of David Benavidez,


https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-open-fighting-benavidez-david-good-performance-vs-plant--173493

So now maybe he is open for a fight with Benavidez in the future. But most likely his goal is for a rematch with Bivol and if he wins it, he might go with his mandatory now or at least the interim belt holder in Benavidez. Maybe he is now impressed with David's performance against Plant which Canelo beat already. Or what another highly anticipated fight for us fans next to settle the score with the Benavidez. So we will see, I mean David just won his fight against Caleb and should be resting by now and most likely going to watch the fight of Canelo vs Ryder as well.

^^ Congrats @LogitechMouse.

Here's my bet, it was just the start of the 1st quarter when I pulled this one, when I see Giannis shooting and missing free throws, I should have bet on the handicap, but still it's a win for them, with that odds.

The game that made me nervous is the Nets against the Rockets because it was very close till the last 5 minutes of the game when the Nets suddenly play good defense and did not allow the Rockets to score.

Phoenix vs T'Wolves, still close as well and I don't know if they can cover the spread because they were just up 6 last two minutes of the game. And in the last 18 seconds, they allow a three, cutting the lead. But in the end Booker and Chris Paul made their free throws and that's enough for them to cover.

Perhaps it's just one instance wherein it was pump due to hype or some positive news about this project. I don't have anything about it, might be really solid and I also can't say about you not wanting to sell during the pump and I hope that you have learn your lessons from that x2 increase and your possible paper profit by that time and yeah, it could be good hold. Because the altcoin season is not yet here. It might take another year or so, right after the block halving. And far as history goods this is the catalyst for a massive bull run for bitcoin, so in any case, the pump will trickle down and have a domino effect on most of the altcoins, and again who knows, maybe your Quant and others in your portfolio will have a massive increased that time so keep on holding.

I don't think that it will turn the tide against casino though, maybe yeah they will go and have this on the floor, but I don't see it as the one that can beat their system. Maybe just a small percentage of this machines are going to be allowed by them, because this skill based games are a game changer as you have said. So I will estimate that it might be just 1% or even less than that the machines that they are going to allow in their casinos. The bread and matter luck base games like Slots will continue to dominate because of how big it generate and it's one of the favorite game that everyone enjoys. And not everyone can play that skill based game too in my opinion. So it won't put any dent on their business, it's just the industry is developing something new just for gaming experiences.
