Round 3 now, I have Magsayo winning the last 2 rounds.
But I still very nervous when Brandon hitting him with counter in his body. But I love what Magsayo is doing, circling the ring and then stopping Brandon by hugging to stop the momentum.
Let's see, it's the start of the round 4. Brandon seems to be eating the power punches of Mark. Hopefully, he will not get tired.
Edit: 3-1 on my unofficial scorecard to Mark Magsayo
Edit 2: Magsayo deducted a point in round for excessive holding. (not good)
Edit 3: Magsayo again losses a point thru excessive holding 11th round, I think that causes him the fight here.
Edit 4: I have Brandon Figueroa winning here, championship rounds belong to him. Hope I'm wrong with my scoring.

It seems to be that this sounds like a pure FUD on the part of the OP.
The OP is a plagiarist, and maybe he uses an AI chat bot, so there's no point in asking him something, because he doesn't even understand what he wrote. FUD or not, we don't need to waste time on these kinds of discussions because they lead nowhere. Could be true, but we need to counter it contradict it right away so that others won't believed on this news specially for newbies. So we need to be very careful as there are thrreads that popping up here and there that seems to be just fake news or AI both answers. In any case, for those who are here for such a long time, we are not going to be affected. But it is important to not let this slide on our community without calling what is wrong with this kind of statement. |

Based on the recent past with Benavidez and the wins by Plant, I don't think it will be an easy win fight for Benavidez and he could also lose to Plant following he used cocaine in his fights before which is against the rule. I'd place a bet on Caleb Plant as he signed this contract and came ahead to fight out, and I believe that passion pays off so if Benavidez loses to Plant, it'll prove that he used to win his matches due to his drug addiction.
I agree though, but I don't now what is in the system of David right now as he has been bursting with confidence him and his father are really getting into Caleb and they wanted to win a knockout. And David said that he wanted to go as high as cruiserweight division, “So right now, I definitely want to go up to 175,” said Benavidez to Fight Hub TV during a recent interview. “I know I can win the belt at 175.”
I think it’s definitely very possible but right now, my sights are on 68. I want to be unified world champion at 68, go up to 75 and I think it definitely could be a possibility, cruiserweight.”
https://www.boxingscene.com/david-benavidez-rule-out-future-cruiserweight-run--172841But it will already be difficult to fight at 75 with Beterbiev and Bivol, he has history with Bivol though as they used to be sparring partners in the past. But let's see first if he can deliver what he has been saying in this fight against Caleb Plant. Hmm, he might be asking too much here, as the expression goes, "biting more than you can chew". He should stay first at 168 lbs and see how his career with go here, it could be his perfect weight, his height and age are good for this class. If he goes to 175 lbs, not only those two Russians, but maybe those rank boxers could be different to beat as it is their natural weight. So what's more if he is targeting CW, I think this is due to Jack Badou winning against Makabu that this super middleweight thinks they can jump as high as CW, in my opinion. We can't really stop him if he sees himself at 175 or as high as 200 but he should know that not everything is attainable even if you're someone that talented is talented enough, no matter what he do, David Benavidez is still a human being with limits. He should explore this current division first and it is just too early for him to say that things because he haven't proved himself yet and become a champion. Yes we can't stop him, many boxers as well in the past have that ambition to move up in weight and claim the belt. But only few and very gifted athletes have done that in the past, Floyd, Manny, Oscar Dela Hoya to name a few. Oscar though tasted defeated when he tries to go as high as middleweight and fight his now GBP partner in Bernard Hopkins and get knock out in a body punch. So lets see how far David can go in his career. |

Ja Morant, on the verge of making his deal official with Powerade and launching a major PR blitz is on Instagram live posing with guns like he’s some sort of street thug. I’m starting to get the feeling that this Ja Morant story is going to end badly. He’s too small and too sheltered to be acting like this. I worry he’s going to run into real trouble with this act.
Bleacher Report is now saying that the Grizzlies have suspended Ja Morant for the next two games over what happened on his Instagram Live. I guess he was at a night club when he was displaying his gun, which I don’t believe was legal. It will be interesting to see if he’s going to get some consequences from Powerade as a result of this. Edit: Looks like his IG and Twitter accounts are now both suspended. And he won't be playing in the next two games, Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant will not play in at least the next two games after his Instagram Live video, in which he displayed what appeared to be a gun while at a nightclub early Saturday morning, prompted an investigation from the NBA.
The Grizzlies announced Saturday afternoon that Morant "will be away from the team for at least the next two games," meaning he will not play Sunday against the LA Clippers or Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35782987/nba-investigating-ja-morant-displays-gun-instagram-videoThis kid needs help, first the "laser incident", and then Ja Morant Accused Of Beating Up, Pointing Gun at 17-Year-Old. Shannon Sharpe is right, he is no gangsta, the NBA should take this seriously before everything went out of control. |

Ok as per Tank Davis, there will be a press conference, maybe to announce this fight,  https://twitter.com/Gervontaa/status/1632105626188009472And after that, the tickets will be on sale, and then we will find out if it could be sell out in the next couple of hours since there is a big hype on this fight. It this happens, then big money is on the table for this two. Gonna be fun to see this two throwing words and trash talking, hehehehe. |

The shoulder excuse is a excuse he did not look like he had a injury on the night he was just outclassed by a better fighter. I love Loma and I think he is a legend for boxing but he lost that Lopez fight fair and square. He just did not have the stamina to keep up with Lopez and the speed difference was obvious. I know some people claimed Loma was robbed and Lopez should have had points deducted but I do not agree I think it was a fair fight and Lopez won convincingly to me.
But it's just weird how Loma was going slow for the first sixth rounds and like very scared to punch Lopez, so that's why people are agree if Loma had shoulder injury. However it's what it's, the judges are count the scores based on their performance, not taking consideration with their injuries or sickness. So the judges are correct about their scoring to make Lopez win at that matches. In this fight I just don't want to see Loma did the same thing and he need to try his best in every rounds. I agree, it was not the usual Loma in that fight as he is not throwing enough punch and it was like in round 8 where he try to do something but it's kinda late. So he could be in some shape or form suffering from something on that fight that made us see a different Loma as you have describe it. Anyhow he had bounce back ever since, wins against Nakatani in his comeback fight and then RC and Ortiz which raises a red flag though as he might already losing some steps on that fight against a young and bigger fighter. |

Back to topic, i expect this fight will be in US not in Japan, as the current title holder Stephen needs more recognition than that, but still respect to their team for accepting such offer to fight in the challenger's hometown.
The first time Fulton will fight in Japan and seems he doesn't bother anyway which is good. Yes, he embrace that challenge that only few fighters wanted to go that route. To go to Japan and face their best boxer right now in Inoue. So he is unfazed with it, and just think of it as a big test on him mentally. Some critics throw words at Inoue on not fighting outside Japan not realizing that he's not even in charge of where the fight should happen and Japan no doubt does have a big market in the boxing industry which is also considered a good event place for a big title fight.
Regardless, I'm sure the home arena is not a big deal and Fulton will just fight with the same approach to every of his fight.
You're right, there are a lot of Japanese promoters as well not just in boxing but in other combat sports. That's why they even stages New Year fight with Rizin and they were able to lure Floyd and Manny to fight on such exhibition fights. |

Good for him but I'd say not good enough because that's already a sign that in the next coming fights, his weight will start to add up and probably won't make the desired weight even if they will force it. After the fight, whether if it's a win or lose, they should start to consider some things like moving up to the next weight class so that they can avoid wasting some precious times.
I hope that the incident of too much weight will be taken note of in the future fight of Magsayo. Almost a 1 pound increase to the required catchweight is not good. It's not also a good idea to just moved up weight since he will meet Foster there who beat the one who take the title from him, Rey Vargas. If he can't able to match with Vargas, then no room for him to face Foster at 130. Anyways, before talking with the moved-up, let's wait for the result first of this match between Magsayo and Figueroa. Few more hours and we will witness if Magsayo can indeed beat Figueroa. The odds are good if you bet on him. The weight issues should not be there in the first place, so now, wondering how Magsayo's camp is prepared for this fight? Is this their strategy or Magsayo couldn't really get the required weight in the first weigh in? Time to see how he will perform on this fight, if he really needs to move up weight to accommodate the comfort zone of his body. Indeed, for sure many Filipino boxing fans are waiting for this big fight because we want Magsayo to win that belt and put us in the map again. Same with Brandon, he is looking for this big win, so I really do expect that this fight is going to be a war. As I have reported, Mark comes in overweight, but it might be just a miscalculation on their part and not pulling some stunt as Filipinos are not known to do that. Based on the odds, everyone is almost picking on Bradon Figueroa to win, but no matter what, we will support our very own Mark Magsayo and it's good that he is the underdog, ML is already a good bet for us. |

Yes it was clearly a duck to me as well, how him and Top Rank try to avoid Donaire at all cost and just hiding on their own reasons like doesn't want to work with Probellum, Donaire's promotion but in the past did they that. After all, Nonito Donaire is still considered a threat in the Bantamweight even after being beaten by Naoya Inoue as the Japanese are really on the highest level at 118 lbs and no one can beat this guy. Top Rank once again spoiled another big fight in the Bantamweight as they clearly ducked their boxer, Jason Moloney to fight the old Donaire who still has the speed and strength. I hope that Donaire will win the fight and claim the WBC title in order for the boxing council to somehow mandate title defense against top-ranked boxer in their list and that includes Jason Moloney. Top Rank will surely be forced to accept the deal. But the longer they are doing delays, the older Donaire is getting to. Not sure though mate that is going to happen, Jason Moloney now targets the WBO belt and he has been dropped by the WBC in their rankings (maybe this is because he refused to fight Donaire). But who knows, maybe if Donaire get the majority of the belts and then only the WBO belt is missing, then maybe a unification fight is inevitable. So let's see, Donaire has a few more fights in him, at least if he wins he should aim for another belt in this division. Thanks for the input. Not aware that WBC dropped Jason Moloney on their ranking list. As a result, that makes Nonito Donaire the number 1 rank in the WBC Bantamweight rankings. But I can't seem to find the name of his next opponent, Alejandro Santiago, on the rankings. What a great opportunity for Santiago to fight for a title match even not on the top-ranking list. Here mate, the official WBC ranking for their bantamweight class: https://wbcboxing.com/en/bantamweight/Alejandro Santiago (Barrios) is rank number 4. And yes, Nonito is now rank number 1. And the number 2 Nawaphon Sor Rungvisai, which I thought to be Donaire's opponent for the belt will fight another Filipino in Reymart Gaballo, it is called a title eliminator but obviously the fight between Donaire and Santiago is for the vacant belt already. But maybe the winner of Gaballo vs Sor Rungvisai will fight the champion next. |

True, he can just whine or share his disappointment but he should not bad mouth or accused a platform of being a scam when the platform only did what they believe is the right thing according to the TOS.
Exactly what we should understand is that not everyone who is gambling know bitcointalk and it's just a few of us who happen to know the forum and at the same time are informed of the various behaviours of casinos and also their reputation, a lot of cases have been resolved in the board and in reputation board, while it is important to support your case with evidence and if you look around, cases that have proven evidence are easily resolved. -But it takes time and luck for a casino to lose a case against players because they made the rules to favour the house that is why we are forced to read the terms and conditions of the casino before registering or depositing, stake.com have a good reputation around the gambling community and if ops have a clear case against them I am sure stake.com will be honourable enough to hand out the players cash out amount. Or with this simple and baseless accusations, the casino's reputable is destroyed unless they gave to the players, on what they "think" is right in this case. Nevertheless, there is this kind kind of protection that casino need to put so that they will not be abuse by players as well. I'm not saying that the OP did it on purpose, but he might not be aware of the ToS and the protection that others and I have been saying based on our own experience. Those delays are needed as the results can change instantly. |

As others have said, there's no way it will be 100% trust or it will win by that percentage. Gambling doesn't work that way, it's either you have chances to win or not. Maybe the odds is way high that you think you will win already, but there are things we don't know, factors that might affect the result. And we all know that it's inches, it's the split seconds that will make or break a team or individual in any sports that might affect the outcome. Like this, Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds!. |

Such progress in just one year is impressive, and it should be noted that it has been possible not only thanks to the efforts of the players but also the efforts of Mike Brown, who has been recently named the Western Conference Coach of the Month.
Actually, that's not a 1-year progress in the making for Sacramento Kings. The progress overall takes place over a decade.  The last time the Sacramento Kings established a winning percentage of over .500 is way back 2005-06 season and that's also the last time they make it to the playoffs. Just do the Math on how long they are not making the playoffs from 2006-07 until now. Although this season, that will be changed. Sacramento Kings will surely be able to break the curse now and their home crowd will witness again the NBA playoffs. It's fun when Sacramento is in the playoffs. Back in the day with Peja, Bobby, etc when they were challenging the top the were fun to watch. The crowd playoff crowds there were amazing. Helped that they had Jason Williams who is still one of my favorite players to watch, never knew what that dude was gonna do. Good mix of streetcars in his game. Either way I will be rooting them to go far this year. Tired of seeing the same old teams in it year in and year out. Those were the days bro, Kings vs Lakers, hehehe who will forget it, early 2000's there is that rivalry. CWebb, Divac, Peja, JWill and then later on, Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie and Mike Bibby. Unfortunately they have to go against the Lakers in that era and then San Antonio, so it's very hard for them to win that championship. Anyhow, this is the new Sacramento Kings, it's a revival and getting Sabonis and Fox healthier than ever, improved his jump shots what the best thing that they can make out of this season right now. |

So this evening, I was thinking within myself, Businesses I could start if I made good money, I mean money large enough that I could start any business comfortably(no matter the cost) without going through any financial crises before, during or after starting the business.
So one of the ideas of businesses to start that came to my mind was a gambling casino, online casino preferably for me, so as part of my research, I thought I should put this question out here to you guys …
If you made a billion dollars or even more, as someone who love gambling/betting and have been doing this on several other casinos for many years now, would you rather start your own casino?
Or would you prefer to keep gambling, doing your sports betting on other casinos even when you know you have more than enough money to start your own casinos and make the casino as big as you want it to be??
Inputs are greatly appreciated.
It will be too much though, personally I will not go that route, there are things behind that you really need to focus in the beginning and it's hard to find people that you can trust in my opinion. I would rather put up a business not related to gambling in which I or my family can manage easily. And besides, you already have a lot of money to begin with, why not just enjoy the rest of your natural life? Maybe go travel and then still play on your favorite casinos online/offline. |

Here's my pick:
Orlando vs Hornets, - I'll go with Orlando, they need to bounce back, -3.5 @1.86
Knicks vs Miami - Butler is listed as probable, Knicks to me, -2.5 @1.84
I also parlay this two to make it more exciting @3.42.
Sad to say that your parlay was being ruined by 1 point NYK win only by 2 points as Heat didn't let them to dominate butler played and provide 33 points. They almost take this one against NYK. Almost a good comeback for the Heat, just a little close in snatching this at home, still struggling to win games for them even they are almost complete and healthy playing. Better luck next time! Just by the hair mate, but I knew my bet is lost already though when Miami took that lead in the dying seconds. It's just a miracle that Randle hit that very though fade away against the defense of Butler, it was really a dagger. And then they were not able to get a clean shot as they know what play they are going to run since this is the same play they did before when they are also down against them. That time Hero runs on several picks and got a clean shot, however he missed it. So they guarded him and they steal the ball. I was hoping that they will foul but they know that they are done with just 1.1 seconds. |

Magsayo though misses the weight limit the first time, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9SNl7RCNuQNot a good sign, he will be given additional hours to make the weight and make the weight, but at this point he will be weight drain and maybe it's time for him to move up in weight already. But to be fair, both didn't look good at all in the weigh-in, I mean seems that Brandon and Mark is draining themselves hard for this fight. they should be prepared on this. so they know their respective weights come the weigh in event. let us see if he can attain the required weight or will their camp let this pass thru? because if Magsayo will be having hard time to achieve the weight, would be hard for him inside the ring if he feels he's drained not only physically but mentally as he goes thru the process of losing a lil bit more to get the weight. He already made the weight on the second attempt, but as you have said, it doesn't look professional on the camp of Magsayo not making the weight it first time. Although it's just 0.8 lbs over and not that huge, and so he easily make it with some minutes left on the timer. So know that everything is set, again as I have said, they didn't look good, but they can go back and rehydrate themselves back. A few pounds maybe, and let's see how much they are going to gain in the actual fight night. |

I thought they had already received something, guess I was wrong but the price just dropped harshly so the market appears to believe its receiving new supplies immediately from perceived selling. What I think is more likely is there was already pressure in the price, constricted range and in fact we've broken down rather then upwards.
The sharp decline though has nothing to do with Mt. Gox, as I believed it has to do with the Silvergate potential bankruptcy. And if it is about Mt. Gox news, then it's pure FUD. It's all over the crypto news and financial media outlets, so I guess we can't discount Mt. Gox for now, after the decline and sudden -6% drop in prices. And as far as I know, it hasn't been distributed yet and it's going to be a slow 6 months to moved from the Gox trust to creditors |

The most essential power of any individuals, organization, industries, churches, government, and nations is truly rely on the wings and Caprices of economic power.
Political power is good but political power can not survive without good economic power, political power is irrelevance if there is no good economy situations of any firm. It takes the economic power to build every other aspects of life.
Even government can not operates effectively if they lack or suffered economic kwashiorkor. Smooth organization operates as a function of good economy situations. When you economic power is stable and dignified, the evidence of Man's labour becomes very easy.
I think this is very evident on those countries that have been destroyed by wars, specially WWII. There are countries in Europe that are devastated but was able to recover in short amount of time, maybe they have good leaders, but still though they have to produce something within inside and transform it as their best assets and then export it somewhere else. I still remember my history teacher in HS about this one, it is still the people and how they are going to produce that will help countries to recover from devastation and I think still applies up to this day. |

Although I think such discussion should not be in the form. However, I shared the story of one of my friends being cheated.
A friend of mine invested some of his savings in Bitcoin. But unfortunately today his personal wallet got hacked. Balance 00. I was telling my friend how that . My friend said he gets a message on Telegram and gets greedy and enters the link they provide and connects his wallet. After a while he came and saw that his balance was zero.
"Sin of Covetousness and Death in Sin" Like my friend, none of you connect wallets by entering any bad links. No one will be deceived like my friend.
Unfortunately, everything is lost here, so sorry for your friend. At least though he should learn from this mistakes and no make them anymore. There are a lot of criminals in crypto, hackers or scammers that will make you click some link or ask you to download something and the next thing you know, your crypto has is gone. So the next time, don't click or any or trust someone just because they tell you that you will get a big amount of crypto. Your friend is obviously inexperience in this but as I have said, this is a expensive lessons to learn. |
