Gervonta Davis psychologically better equipped to defeat Ryan Garcia says Eddie Hearn

Indeed, Tank Davis is pretty much psychologically better than Ryan Garcia. I have no doubt about that!

Golden Boy prepared Garcia well before he gives his Go signal to fight a champion and this time, they really needed a closer to showcase Ryan Garcia's talent and Davis will be the key for that because it will literally hype Garcia's name if he can defeat Tank Davis on the process. But that won't come easy because Davis got some real IQ in his temple especially inside the ring. Pretty sure this will be a nice fight to see, a battle of knockout specialist.

That's one advantage of Tank that I think is very important in this fight. There could be some psychological battle here, not just for boxers but from within inside. They might question themselves if they can go ahead and beat the other guy. And we all know that Ryan has some mental issues before and it causes a riff between him and Canelo and Reynoso and now he no longer trains with Eddie and move to Goosen. So still though, even if Ryan has made a successful comeback, who knows what he is going thru although he is really the one pushing for this one.

Tank isn't showing some weaknesses as of now both physical and mental while Garcia already showed both, and it will be a big challenge for Garcia finding those weakness to increase his chances once they will start dancing inside the ring. Given Garcia's mental issues in the past, I believe that it can be revived and get that feeling back to Garcia once someone finds the switch to toggle it and who knows, Tank might try to find it to tease Garcia even more.

And my personal assumptions is that, US, being the world power probably does not want their territories to be over populated with immigrants, this could be the reason for the so strict requirements and documentation process to enter the country.

Your assumption may not be false but they have to be ready for more people that will troop in into the state in guise of coming to watch the next world cup. USA is a cherish country desirable by many to live in, so they have to expect that to happen. Among the three countries hosting the game, USA is hosting more of the games and that means more immigration of people to USA than Mexico and Canada.
I recently saw an announcement that an important figure in the country said that he was going to impose that anyone who enters the USA illegally will be punished by taking him out of the country and beating him for 5 years,
Well, this is more of a threat than a law 😁, and to be sincere, it does not look serious to me, this to me looks like one of those threat we normally receive from our parents when we  were kids, when they tell us not to do this, else we will be flogged, and out of curiosity or stubbornness, we will still end up doing that thing, and without receiving the said punishment at the end of the day.

What am I saying, a threat as thing does not seem strong enough to deter strong headed people from trying to enter USA through illegal means, even with this in place, I tell you, many will still go ahead and try to enter USA illegally just to watch the world cup when denied visa.

Well, there's nothing out of ordinary about that because that's just how the USA impose some threats because I don't think that there's some words in that phrase that needed some emphasis to help the people understand. It's just like a friendly reminder from their behalf but believe me, they will literally do that when an alien forces their way inside the country. But the thing is we won't know because surely, they won't be doing that publicly.

I think Spurs have enough salary cap to offer him a better contract.
They're not the team that spends outrageous amount of money that easily so they definitely have some space. Their projected available cap is around $27.1 million while maximum possible is around $49.8 million https://www.spotrac.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/cap/

Those above figures looks better than Clarkson's current salary at Jazz. The man is probably playing it smart if his rumored extension decline is true. He knows he's not getting any ring soon so why not have a bigger pay day while he still has something to offer?

But the San Antonio Spurs aren't actually trying to acquire Clarkson, are they? I mean, I haven't read some teams that has surfaced on the internet who are trying to acquire him. As of now, Clarkson is not yet interested in the Utah Jazz's offer to him and I've read that the said team are rebuffing the offer to get Clarkson interested.

Quote
Stein later reported that Clarkson is seeking an extension worth about $18-20 million per year — in other words, more than the Jazz can legally offer right now.

Ryan Garcia taking aim at Tank and says that he will finished him in 2 rounds, hehehe

Quote
“Prediction for the fight – I say I'll beat him in about two rounds,” Garcia told The Joe Pomp Show.

https://www.boxingscene.com/ryan-garcia-predicts-hell-ko-tank-2-rounds-hes-never-faced-adversity-risk-ring--171581

Ryan already hyping himself in this fight, saying that he will finished him in 2 rounds. I doubt though, Davis is known to be very cautious in the early rounds of his fight, just trying to figure out his opponents before making any adjustments. Specially if his opponent is someone of a knock out artist, just like in the Romero fight wherein he started very slow and trying not to get caught with big punch early. And we wanted the fight a bit longer, so that they will bring the best out of this two boxers.

Big words for a young man that hasn't yet fought any tough opponents in his whole career and saying that he can finish a fight in mere 2 rounds against Tank Davis. Now, I know that he's just trying to hype himself and to market their future fight even though it's not yet fixed but those words are too far from reality because Davis is no ordinary boxer that he can defeat that easily. He may have the size but the IQ belongs to the title holder.

Lol, but yes this is true, Ryan Garcia's mouth is to big for him and probably this is the reason why he is called social media king because when he opens his mouth, it's all about hyping his fight and what not.

But he hasn't proved anything, yeah, me made a comeback and his mental issues is behind him.

Nevertheless, he hasn't beaten anyone in the top 10 or the 135 lbs to just talk smuck to Davis like that. We will see Tank's reply in his next fight against Hector Garcia this weekend.

That was indeed the reason why Garcia is called the social media king and probably the only title that fits him right now where he has no one to compete with. But I reckon, again, those phrase that he said towards Tank Davis was way too much from his side because he will get embarrassed if he will get defeated here as he will look like a clown who bit more than what he can really chew. And by the way, Davis got an impressive result from his recent fight as he ended Hector by a way of TKO.

Durant misses at least two weeks, that would be a huge loss to BKN. They rather choose losing to Miami than losing Durant. Just when he broke another record and went up one more place in all time top scorers list, he could've gone one more place next game. I hope he'll return healthy soon.
Kyrie is playing great lately so I don't expect many losses from Brooklyn in this period. Sure Kyrie will use the ball more and Simmons should take more responsibility. T.J. Warren and Watanabe will get more playing time. Coach Vaughn will find a way to win games, Nets have a good squad. I don't think they'll go down just like Suns.

Injuries really spoil the good rally of a team. That was unfortunate to happen now that the team is getting a good winning streak and this is the first time, that their drama stars are working together as a team with no issues or drama or what.

Good thing though that it happened this elimination and not in playoffs.

In the meantime, expect that Irving will do his job in covering what Durant will miss.

The good thing is Durant will be back in less time compared to the expected one month of being sidelined according to the report. The only thing that is left is for them to make up for the 30pts that Durant makes every game. When Durant was out last season, they had an 11-losing streak. Hope they find their rhythm without Durant this time since they are doing very fine this season. It means they have put down the drama.

That's not yet sure if he will indeed comeback much earlier this time and not the whole month expectation, Durant's timeline is not yet discussed because he will be needing some re-evaluation first in the next two weeks. If it will turn out great then it will be safe to assume that a 1 month rest will be too long for him but if that suspected injury is really serious, I guess he will be needing few more weeks. I just hope that it's not that serious though, a game is much interesting to see if the role players are complete.

The entire squad of the Nets need to work together to cover that, KD is not just a scorer but an all-around player, covering his spot should
be done by all 5 players inside the court.

They've got a good chemistry and they just need to continue to play together, even without KD surely, they can still win games.

Hoping for KD's early recovery and not to suffer to any major injury.

Let's hope and see if he is going to need more days to recover in about less than 2 weeks from now, there's no sign yet if his acquired injured is that serious.

While waiting for that, the remaining players should really try and cover his spot. It won't be an easy task of course because just like how you described Durant, he is not that limited to a specific role, but I'm inclined that they can still carry out their task successfully because Irving is still there for the team.

I agree, old stars like Messi and Ronaldo are still great, no doubt, but their time is already approaching and eventually, they will be replaced by a much younger stars like the ones you've mentioned that will be playing after their retirement. There's no need to fret about the situation because that's the reality in this world and they won't be playing in the upcoming years as they will become more and more older.

Regarding the next FIFA World Cup, Messi is the one who will likely play compared to Ronaldo because aside from the difference of their age, Messi won't let the situation slide because they are the defending champs and he have every right to play in that historical event. He will be 39 or 40 years old by that time, but I know he's still to play and give the team some help when they needed it.
Maybe both of them can still play the next World Cup as the last one of their careers. They can't play the whole 90 minutes of a match with all the energy and stamina they were used to, as we have already seen in Qatar, but the coach can use them smartly during some strategical moments of the games. It seems a much better idea to have Messi and Ronaldo on the bench, than some random players who are there just to fill the gaps. About Messi, specifically, I'm sure he will be able to at least raise the morale of the national team if he is there side by side with them.

That is if Cristiano Ronaldo still plays professionally by the time the next World Cup will commence because he will be already turning 38 years old next month, February, which means that he would be around 42 years old in the next FIFA World Cup in America. But who knows, right? Messi on the other hand got more chances to play because he's much younger than CR7, it will be a pride for the team if he can still play and defend the championship.
1829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco on: January 10, 2023, 05:40:35 PM
Just like other fans, I'm gonna be biased here and will root for Loma. Maybe he is passed his prime but his IQ is still there and 34 isn't old enough as other boxers at his age are still doing pretty well too. Let's not forget Pacquiao passed his prime and still manage to win by a split decision at age 40.
No, 34 years old is still prime age... I would say 40 years old is where their power and stamina are greatly decrease. Just look GGG is still active fighting and he would likely want to challenge a champion at 40 years old.

Although Haney has all the advantage, reach, size, youth except I think is the experience where Loma has the advantage, many believes that the fighting style and ring adaptiveness of Loma is superb,  I also want to see Loma win this upcoming fight.
Yeah, Loma was built different, I don't find any good boxer that similar with him because most of them has reach advantage and young. So much respect to Loma even though he doesn't own any title anymore, it's his time to get back all his titles after losing to Lopez.

But GGG's wear and tear is somehow evident and he's not that agile anymore compared to his younger years or when he was still under 35 years old considering that he's already at the age of 40, but considering that age, GGG can still move well and give some good punch that will question his opponent if he's indeed already 40 years old. Murata is a good example for that.

Regarding this fight, I know you guys are rooting for Loma here but I will go for the opposite camp where Haney is situated. Just can't help to be with the kid especially after seeing some of his fights, recently. He's just too confident because he's good at technical and his defense are quite impressive as well.

It appears we have another boxer who will be very exciting similar to how Manny Pacman was during his challenges in different weight divisions. However, Naoya Inoue's mission is to be the first male boxer to unify all championships in 2 different divisions. According to this article he mentioned that he will be in the ring again on April or May! I speculate him to challenge Akhmadaliev first, before a unification superfight against Stephen Fulton on December.

He also mentioned that his body can reach the limit to featherweight.



Naoya Inoue became the ninth fighter to unify all four major titles in boxing's four-belt era.

Inoue is now looking to become the only male fighter to accomplish the feat in two weight classes.

"I believe I'm going to aim for it," Inoue said. "We'll need to develop a thorough plan."

The Japanese star will be heading up to 122-pounds, after knocking out British fighter Paul Butler in eleven rounds to unify the IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC world bantamweight titles.

Inoue plans to return on a date in April or May of the coming year.

The world titles at 122-pounds are owned by two undefeated fighters, Uzbekistan's Murodjon Akhmadaliev and Stephen Fulton of the United States - with each boxer holding two belts.


Source https://www.boxingscene.com/naoya-inoue-i-go-far-featherweight--171207

Glad to know that he's already having a fight in the 2nd quarter of this year, makes me wonder who it is.

I believe he can do that feat soon and will be the first male boxer/fighter to unite all belts in two different division. But he's still have a long way to go despite the perks he has where he can go directly to the champions and I'm viewing the opposite thing where Inoue will chase Fulton first instead Akhmadaliev. WBO also gave Inoue the super-champion title so that there will be no issues if their camp will decide to face Fulton.

They still have a lot of room to improve in this season for the evolution that you're saying, they should stick with their current roster though so that they can develop more depth in their roster that can help the team just like what happened with the Celtics. It will take some time of course but that really depends on the players and looking at the Kings now, I can agree that maybe they will reach and play in the playoffs.
Your analogy, talking about Celtics was excellent.
I believe that most of Boston's current players, they started early and with that, some players were polished over time playing for the Celtics, and the result is what is happening today, the Celtics have evolved and become an excellent team , of course, he is not superior to the Celtics when Garnett, Allen, Pierce and Rondo played at that time

Another interesting point is that the Celtics have become a good team to bet on, because they are currently winning with a certain frequency, not to mention performance (29w / 12L)

I agree with you guys, the depth of the Celtics is really something and time has really marinated their chemistry that's why we can see that the level of their trust with each other is so different. Plus, their unexpected performance in the last playoff until the Finals was so impressive which gave them so much experience to evolve more. Looking at them now, it's almost certain that they will participate again in the upcoming playoffs and maybe chase the championship title again. Let's see!

So it is official that Ryan Garcia and Tank Davis will be fighting this year on April 15. This will undoubtedly be a major sporting event this year. I am excited about this fight! Though I don't watch boxing except when Manny Pacquiao fights, this fight looks really good because Ryan is mostly what I saw on social media and Tank was in the Mayweather promotion. Though the power of Tank is very different, as is how defensive he is, but Ryan has the height and reach advantage. 



Thanks for sharing this information, so finally! This fight is going to push through as the fight schedule has been established already, do you guys have already picked some sides? Well, if you ask me, I'd seriously go with Davis. IQ and experience will still be the dominant factor in almost every fight, and I don't think that Davis will have some hard time here because of the size advantage of Garcia because this is not his first time fighting such boxer that is taller than him.

As a general sentiment YES! As Warren buffet has said ypu need to buy when people are fearful and sell when people are greedy.  It's easy buying into a market when it's at the top but the whole point is price appreciation then why wouldn't ypu want to buy when prices are extremely low.  People were buying bitcoin at $50k nothing has changed fundamentally since then so why wouldn't you buy bitcoin at $17k? 

I agree, I mean, when would be the best time, if the market already recovered and prices are already skyrocketing? That's wrong because some people are already reaping the profits while you, is still waiting for the next hype train because you have just bought and accumulated some. That only shows that people doesn't really know what and when to take advantage because they are just waiting for the hype to happen before they make a move, and in that time, people will start to regret.
1835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: January 09, 2023, 02:18:27 PM
I think it's a good idea to have 2 countries or even more hosting the World Cup because one country maybe don't have all the infrastructure to make the whole World Cup, and it helps football spreading in even more countries.
But my ideal of World Cup would be every 2 years instead of 4 and with 32 countries.

It is a good method for the development of infrastructures and increasing interest in football, but the same may not be true for footballers whose travel times will increase. If the distance between stadiums increases, group matches and final matches can have a tiring tempo. I think FIFA should pay attention to this.

On the other hand, it is a very good idea to organize the World Cup every two years. In this way, we will be able to watch some football players more. For example, the probability of Messi playing in the next World Cup is very low. However, if the World Cup organization was held every two years, we could definitely watch Messi once again.

2026 World Cup Many big stars may not be able to participate in the World Cup due to age restrictions.  There are many other big stars like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo who will not be able to play in the World Cup in 2026.  In this case, although they want to, their age is the biggest obstacle.  Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are now young, will not be able to maintain this youth in 2026, their speed will slow down.  And getting the ball into the opposing team's net will not be possible later as it is now.  The two legends of the football world have very little chance of participating in the 2026 World Cup.

It is a natural process and nothing to worry about. The old stars will be replaced by some new stars, as always.
I personally expect that the main stars at the next world championship will be young players like Fati, Rodrygo, Haaland, Martinelli and others, and who says that they won't worthy replace Messi and Ronaldo?
Of course, Mbappe is also there, and there are rumors that Messi could also play at the next World Cup.
Regardless of who ends up playing, we're in for another great World Cup in soccer.

I agree, old stars like Messi and Ronaldo are still great, no doubt, but their time is already approaching and eventually, they will be replaced by a much younger stars like the ones you've mentioned that will be playing after their retirement. There's no need to fret about the situation because that's the reality in this world and they won't be playing in the upcoming years as they will become more and more older.

Regarding the next FIFA World Cup, Messi is the one who will likely play compared to Ronaldo because aside from the difference of their age, Messi won't let the situation slide because they are the defending champs and he have every right to play in that historical event. He will be 39 or 40 years old by that time, but I know he's still to play and give the team some help when they needed it.

We have been told many times to invest only funds which you can afford to lose in bitcoins. But the question is that most of us do not have that extra funds to invest. So, what we do is we buy bitcoins from our savings, and from whatever money we get, we try to buy bitcoins. Middle class people do not have that EXTRA money WHICH THEY CAN"T AFFORD TO LOSE.

Yes, i invest in bitcoins but it is not EXTRA money and I am afraid I can't afford to lose. Do you have that EXTRA money that you can afford to lose  Huh




Investing towards bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies is truly a delicate matter especially for the middle class people, like me. It's given that we don't really have that spare funds that we can afford to lose, that's why it is really important to know the coins first that we are investing into and always do your own research before investing in such coins because the risks will always be there as the coins are so volatile.

I'm thinking of betting on the Denver Nuggets tomorrow with a spread of -9. What do you think? is it a good idea betting against a streaking LA Lakers. On paper, you can tell that Nuggets are very good at home and no one can stop Jokic, but can they cover that spread?
Not a bad idea as the Nuggets are 8-2 on their last 10. They are also the strongest team with high offensive power this season, so the spread might be reached.

Lebron can still produce 30 points or more as I don't see someone who can stop Lebron, but other defenders can stop Lebron's teammates, so I think the Nuggets has the advantage here. What I don't like about the Nuggets is that they are inconsistent, sometimes they give up their big lead, so that would be risky because Lakers might be able to cover the spread.

This is a gamble actually, IMO, we can find another match-up that is easier to cap.

For example, like the Bucks on the road, I think they can beat the home team as Knicks is not a great team.

The Nuggets inconsistency makes them more unpredictable because a serious Jokic and Gordon will definitely dominate the team they are up against, while the Lakers are questionable as well if they can defeat the Nuggets even without AD on board except for LeBron because the man has been consistent since his rookie year. But I guess there will be no struggles in that part because Thomas Bryant is stepping up his game.

As for the Bucks vs Knicks match-up, the latter's chance to win is not that good as Barrett will not be playing in the said game. But we'll see, the league has been quite unpredictable since the season commenced.

It's a tricky one, but I absolutely believe that the digital dollar poses a threat to bitcoin. There is a possibility that the federal government will enact absurd taxes and restrictions. There are a number of ways in which this could negatively impact bitcoin owners, and even lead to a desire to sell their assets. As a result, the Fed will provide bitcoin owners with a tempting offer to convert their funds to the digital dollar at an initial one-to-one exchange rate that will eventually depreciate.

Yes, it is a tricky one to say. But I'm viewing the opposite thing where it is the digital dollar (government) who views bitcoin as their enemy and poses a threat and not the other way around. Governments around the world won't be creating such thing like digital currencies if bitcoin is not stressing them out, just like China, they have banned the use of it because they don't know yet how it really works because they cannot control it as well. But they can't blind the people nowadays because eventually, these digital currencies will depreciate because they aren't designed to avoid inflation.

It's looking good for the Chicago Bulls and for their fans out there.
3rd a winning streak. Zach LaVine is sizzling hot. Yesterday 41 points were against the 76ers and now a hot 36 points against the Jazz and defeating them in the process. That's a back-to-back game for him and yet there's no trace of exhaustion.
With him playing like this with most of their games, they will go back to a higher seed in speed. Now, they are sitting at the 9th spot but that should not stop there.
Their next stop is against the Boston Celtics on the road, it will be a rough game for them. Offensive duos will clash at TD Garden.

With the help of DeRozan and their strong center, Vucevic, the Chicago Bulls will now slowly climb in the ladder back to the top of the Easter Conference. Their last 3 games are not that easy to pull off but they still managed to do it and bring the team a W at the end of the day. But they haven't fought the best teams in the league yet and tomorrow they will be having a taste of that by playing against the Celtics.

Most gamblers must have went through this, sometimes luck appears to be your side specially in games like casino war or dice.

Today, morning I was playing casino war, I just use martingale - I know it's lame strategy. But I won most of time.

Then later at noon, luck just didn't appear to be on my side. A constant losses with win every once in a while to recoup the losses and then losing streak, all funds gone.

Now, let's be some superstitious and say, if you play only when luck appears to be on your side, would you call that a good strategy?

I do not know how you will apply that strategy to your games. You still have to try your luck first before you can know if it is on your side or not.

Some people have their rituals before they start playing. They believe they will give them luck. It is their way to prepare themselves and be more focused on their game thus winning more or others may say attracting luck.

I do not do that. I just play and enjoy it.

That's more like it. Let's just try to enjoy our game with our without knowing if that stated luck is on our side because we have our own reasons too why we play at the casinos in the first place, some of us just want to blow off some steam after a long day at work and some are trying to get some profits while trying to entertain themselves and that's where the luck is important. But if you're that gambler who's just looking for a past time, I doubt that luck is really that important to you.
