Bulls vs Miami, I already lock in my bet.

Do you favor Bulls or Miami ? Personally , I've watched both games and I must say Bulls really looked more solid than Miami in their first game and that is why I'm thinking seriously to take a bet on Bulls  even if once again , the odds and bookies don't see them as favorites.

Miami...for me is really hard to anticipate their games and style because in one night , they could drop 120 on you and the next night , they barely make it to 90. So I guess , I will stick with Bulls to qualify.

Most bettors are leaning on the Chicago Bulls even if they are listed as the underdogs because it seems that they are more reliable compared to the Miami Heat now. The latter may drop 120 in any given night but that's just the same meaning of unpredictable. What we're doing here right now is predicting the likelihood of their game and given the Heat's unpredictability, I'd also stick with the Bulls as they are all healthy as well now.
1962  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 13) on: April 14, 2023, 06:35:25 PM
He needs to secure this win if he really wanted to create his name in this new division, losing a fight to unknown fighter
will put his career in danger. I mean, if he will lose, then interest from big promoters will be lessened or possibly be forgotten.

Unlike if he will win and take this fight in a much easier as how fans expected him,
the chance of bringing him to a contender for a title holder is possible.

We don't know what might happen after this, but it's really important that Casimero will win every single fight that being scheduled for him.

I got your point mate that for Casimero to fight for a championship, he needs to win all his fights before that and the good thing about his promoter right now is not forcing the issue, and seems to me that they are carefully selecting opponents to fight their ward and even though with that scenario, Casimero himself is not complaining since he earns substantial amount enough to have a not so lavish lifestyle.

Nothing has leaked so far as who will be next opponent of Quadro Alas but one thing is sure that it would not be Inoue.



Well, he doesn't have much of a choice because he could've been more comfortable now if his weight weren't an issue in his previous weight class. Anyway, a defeat is the least thing that Casimero and his camp needed because that will surely mean that his career will go down drastically especially after the fact that he was just defeated by a regular boxer who is so unknown that most of the boxers in the industry don't know about him. What he need is a kind of fight that will help him prepare against the champs yet a secure one while he's still in the lower bracket so that the chance of getting a defeat is lesser.

Bitcoin no doubt gives you privacy but people are caught while converting bitcoin to fiat or vice versa. Its fine as long as you remain in Bitcoin. There is very rear chance the government agencies can caught you while your bitcoins are in your decentralized wallets. We need to keep this in mind that government will crack down hard on bitcoin with every passing day, as its market capitalization and popularity keep increasing exponentially. There are problems for people living in countries which are not bitcoin friendly.

As I said in my previous post, You have to be careful with your privacy. It's important. The Banks and the Government always want to take control of your money. If you use Bitcoin, They will lose control over your money. They are doing business with you using your money. You know the reason why they want to seize Bitcoin funds. Stay anonymous on the internet if Bitcoin is banned in your country. You shouldn't tell anyone that you own Bitcoin. Not even your friends and family members.

I won't suggest anyone to centralized exchange. But, Sometimes, we have to use it because of our needs if you use centralized exchanges to convert your Bitcoin for fiat. Do it part by part. Don't go all in. Use a payment method which has a low chance of tracing you. A few simple, easy things can save you from getting caught.

That's not new anymore as we know that Banks and Government are working together to make our lives harder rather than comfortable just like what they used to advertise it. The arrival of bitcoin has been a big help to us because aside from it gave us hope and choices how to protect ourselves from the inflation, it also gave us knowledge that governments are not that friendly as they are just taking advantage of the power they have for their own selfish gains. Well, at least from my perspective because I don't know about these things until I meet bitcoin.
1964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez on: April 13, 2023, 07:52:58 PM
I think this is a bigger fight that Jack Catterall though, and maybe it's the right move for him. This fight is in the US, and hopefully Taylor should be exposed there, he is the undisputed 140 lbs and some of us forget that because he chooses to fight in the UK after unification with Ramirez. If he could just chosen a US boxer, it could be a different outcome and maybe he doesn't have to vacate some of his belts and retain them and then defend it to their mandatory. So this is a comeback fight, on the other hand Teo will have a lot of his plate at this new division.

The fight with Jack Catterall is on his hometown of Scotland, I think he just wanted to show his fans after winning all the belts. But Jack is a very difficult opponent for him, maybe as mentioned, he has a hard time making the weight at 140 lbs and it could be one factor in the fight. However, Jack really delivers one of his best performance to almost upset Josh in his hometown. It's almost back fire on him though.

But here it will be in Madison Square Garden if I'm not mistaken so Teo has the advantage because he has a lot of fans here.

So we will see the big mouth Teo here if he can back up his trash talking as he said that he will tear up Taylor more than what Jack did.

Just like what Canelo is doing in his next fight, it will be in his hometown Mexico against Ryder. However, Taylor's fight almost ruin his career as it was a close fight with Jack and as what we have been saying very controversial outcome.

Same with Lopez, against Sandor Martin, he has difficulty against the bigger Martin or the natural 140 lbs. So what's more if he is going to fight the very best of this division which is the former unified champion. Taylor though as fought in the US before so I don't see Teo even if he has the advantage of fans in MSG winning here. And Scots are also fond of their boxers and going to support and maybe some of them are going to travel in the US to see this fight.

I even thought Jack Catterall was an easy fight and who knows he was probably cherry-picked by Josh Taylor for his homecoming fight. Taylor having difficulty making the weight might be the factor. But there are other things to consider, Catterall tried to trash talk and even held the neck of Taylor to get under his skin. Taylor was probably angry and was out of focus. Or the homecoming fight might have pressured him as his local fans were expecting their undisputed champion to showcase his skills.

The same with Canelo, maybe there is also pressure to perform well in his homecoming fight.

That fight was supposed to be a walk in the park for the former undisputed champion but it was the opposite thing because it was a near defeat on his case as he probably underestimated Jack Catterall on that specific fight. And yes, that was probably a cherry picked fight because it's a homecoming fight but we had a different fight as Josh Taylor was struggling and I suppose he was surprised by it too.

Talking about that, will that same scenario happen again but this time against Teofimo Lopez? Because if Josh was already struggling at that fight against Catterral then maybe Teo got some decent chances to upset the champion and this may be his best fight where he will be the champion against an opponent that doesn't have any prior injuries.

Just had a wild thought though hehe, either way, I can't just disregard the fact that Josh used to dominate this division and Teo is just a mere challenger on his throne.
1965  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - June 17 on: April 13, 2023, 07:19:41 PM
And now we can't even say that this rumored fight will happen or not or are they buying again another time, we just don't know for a fact.

The report of this rumored fight now became hyped as it's really going to happen.

But again, sh*t happened and we should not expect this fight to happen at 100% not unless an official announcement will be made.

Save the date, April 22, that's the ETA for the official announcement of this fight.

I have read some articles mentioning that Tank Davis fired Floyd Mayweather as his promoter, however, other articles mention he still is Tank's promoter. Similar to Terence Crawford, there are rumors that imply Mayweather is promoting him for a fight against Spence. I speculate that if Mayweather is really the promoter of Crawford and Tank, I reckon there will certainly be an announcement on April 22. However if not, this might only be another marketing trick for us to watch Tank vs. King Ry hehehhehee.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. isn't connected anymore to Gervonta Davis's fight because the latter already severed his ties under Mayweather Promotions. The latter also revealed that he wanted a much bigger paychecks that's why he is now flying solo and there's no evidence that suggests that Tank is still with Mayweather especially in this fight. We know that Mayweather promotions won't be alive until now if Al Haymon wasn't there to provide his service.

Tank Davis was just wasting his time under Floyd because just like what happened to Rolly Romero, their talents are just being put to waste to only fight boxers that doesn't stand a chance against them as it's just a pure moneymaking for Floyd. Simply put, they are just limited under Floyd's banner.

We can't tell which news or update that may bring enlightenment with what will be the plan. All we can do now is to wait.

This is correct. But we can safely say already that Spence fighting against Keith Thurman is not an option now.

If the April 22 announcement referring to the possible fight between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence is a failed one, I believed that Spence might fight another boxer but not Thurman, and it will be on the original plan of fighting at the 154.

Damn, so much drama involving Spence. He should go with the flow for damn sake.

EDIT: I tried to look for any fresh and recent news about Keith Thurman but it seems that all is silent on his side.

There's no timetable on the Spence vs Thurman fight that's why we cannot really see some updates or recent news about that bout, the last made update was already 2 months ago where it was confirmed Spence got a mandatory fight against Keith but they would take the fight at 154 and after that, no other news concerning that fight.

Now we got another rumored fight again, a undisputed fight at 147 between Spence vs Crawford. If I recall it correctly, there was also a rumored fight that Spence will take on Jermell Charlo which belongs to the same stable under Al Haymon.

There is just too many speculations involving Spence, so many that we don't know which is which anymore.


And then again, we can just speculate and wait if there's a fight that will happen involving the name of both Spence and Thurman, but for now this pending fight still don't have any clear details, no updates just like what you mentioned all are just rumors and all of them are connected to Spence.

Still no sign deal, which is very important to begin with, looking forward to any fight for Thurman or Spence or for this fight to proceed.

Things have been messy lately especially if the name of Errol Spence Jr. is connected on it, I don't know what's with them these days because they kept on toying the boxers and seemingly not willing to give up the belt or give the other boxers a chance to hold it. I pity Thurman because he should be making some fights because time is not on his side anymore but Spence was connected to his name and hence why he wasn't able to make a fight after his return.

Now if the undisputed fight between Spence and Crawford will happen, I bet it will be a huge one where the latter will literally make Spence pay and won't forget this fight by knocking him good in the ring because this fight is already personal as his time was wasted in the past few months. Moreover, Crawford got the advantage because he's still hot as he came from his tune-up fight recently while Spence here is turning 1 year inactive this coming 16th of April.

Kings vs Warriors series, ganda nito ah, kung titingnan natin ay dehado yong Warriors dahil nasa ibaba sila sa rankings compared to the Kings pero playoffs na to at maglalaro pa si Wiggins kaya sure ako na kabado rin yong Kings dahil sa experience ng Warriors pagdating sa ganitong mga sitwasyon.
Malakas din naman ang Kings. Nakita ko nga magkano mga tickets sa mga games na to at ang mamahal lang pero sa kanila siyempre mura lang. Sa linggo pa naman laban nito kaya posibleng may mga changes pa. Sa ngayon, abang nalang muna tayo sa Timberwolves at Lakers.  Smiley

Magandang series nga ito, malas lang ng Kings ang Warriors pa nakatapat nila na kung saan sa system ng Warriors ginagamit nila ngayon. Kung sa standing an basehan natin, syempre lamang ang Kings, pero playoffs na ito, kaya ang Warriors ang favorites.

Sa sobrang exciting ng laban na ito, yung presyo ng ticket sobrang taas nga talaga. $1,409 para sa first round ng laban na to, grabe lang ba.  Grin
Ticket Prices for Warriors vs. Kings Reach Historic Heights
Ganito ka excited lahat ng mga taga Sacramento kasi nga sa sobrang tagal na wala sila sa playoffs, ngayon nalang ulit kaya todo suporta lahat sa home court.

Medyo pricey nga yan kabayan, hindi lang actually ang Kings ang dahilan, dahil siguro Warriors ang makakalaban nila sa first round which we know naman kung gaano kasikat ang defending champion. Kung nasa USA ako at maganda ang trabaho, for sure willing rin akong gumastos ng ganyan kalaki para lang makita ang mga idols ko.


Sa totoo lang hindi ko masyadong kabisado yong laro para ngayong araw pero walang naglalatag sa mga bet nila dito kaya uunahan ko na hehe.

Bulls +6.5 @1.85 vs Raptors
Pelicans -5.5 @1.92 vs Thunder

Good luck sa atin kabayan, sana panalo pa rin ngayong araw.

Good luck kabayan, may oras pa at unti unti ng bumabalik ang Chicago Bulls. Akala ko blowout loss ito.

1968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 13, 2023, 12:47:44 AM
What chances does Bulls have tonight ? They are playing in 20 minutes against Raptors and even if Bulls didn't had a great season , they surely had great performances especially against good teams like Celtics , Lakers or even Bucks. Raptors on the other hand ...it's hard to know exactly what to expect from them because they had games with 130 points but also games with 85+- so it really depends if they will put up the work in defense or they will let a free game which pretty much is an advantage for Bulls.

Odds are also favoring Raptors by a mile...

So far, it's been all Raptors. I thought the Bulls would be competitive, as this is a do-or-die game for them, but the home team has been dominant, and the spread looks like it will be easily covered. Fred VanVleet has been shooting red-hot beyond the arc, and he is definitely one of the reasons for the Raptors' big win.

i have the feeling that spence's camp didn't see much hype with the thurman fight. and now, they finally decided with the crawford fight. based from early poll here in the forum, most are rooting for crawford. i can understand the sentiments. crypto casinos haven't listed this yet. but early favourite is showing that it is crawford. so the odds may be close on this one. just look for other betting lines once bookies listed this match.

In the first place, the whole idea of the fight between Spence and Thurman is really a disappointment.

Honestly, even though Thurman is not the supposed opponent, the whole fight that favors only Spence is really crap.

Let's wait if this fight will really materialize for not or will become again a failure of the year.

I'd say that I somehow expected that the Thurman vs Spence fight is just a front of whatever their camp are planning and eventually, that fight will fall into pieces because aside form that fact that they haven't got any established date for that mandatory fight, there are no downsides on it as why would the governing bodies order a mandatory title defense fight to a weight class that the boxer doesn't have any belts.

That alone, we can somehow say that they are planning something and maybe that is the reason why they are silent all this time. And now we can't even say that this rumored fight will happen or not or are they buying again another time, we just don't know for a fact. Those poor boxers at the back of the line are growing old without having the chance to fight for that belt that Spence is currently holding.

That man should be stripped and the industry should make a rule concerning that issue so that this scenario will not happen again in the future. Or should I say there would be no Mayweather wanna be in the future.
1971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: April 10, 2023, 06:28:04 PM

I bet the hosts of the upcoming World Cup is now busy for the preparations as well as the FIFA council to make the most grandeur and best World Cup the world has ever seen. And yes, lots of time and they don't have to be hasty so that they can avoid some errors that they will regret in the future and the fact that the Qatar has made some good examples and errors, that will be the basis of the next world cup so that it will not happen again.

Most of all, it will be the most comfortable world cup because USA is known to be a free country and the audience can fully enjoy the games without any prohibitions like soda/alcoholic drinks or some foods because that was the downside of the recent World Cup but we can't blame that if they prohibit it as they have different culture in that specific country.
Qatar has taken some very great decisions which never happened before.
Those were the game changer for the fans and for the players lets see if the standard Qatar has made will be equally met by the host this time


Well, in paper, the recent World Cup that happened in Qatar was indeed really extravagant but that's just expected because the country is so rich that they are almost got problems how to waste their money but how about what happened behind the scenes? The ones that are not shown in television or any media outlet because I highly doubt that it's still that great knowing that a lot of workers that worked so hard for that event has been violated especially the migrant workers.
If you don't know about that, I bet you will be surprised if you'll search for that.

Congrats as well @danherbias07, good hit on that Tapales win.

This is just one hurdle that Marlon did, he was a huge underdog, nevertheless he proved how smart he is, just outpointing Murodjon Akhmadaliev is very tough as this fight in the US. Good thing that 2 of the judges was fair, they even have the same score, so most likely it was very close but at the end Marlon did a good job.

But the biggest challenged for him will be the winner of Fulton vs Inoue. It's difficult fight, either who wins, IMHO.
Thank you.
The other judge though seems to have a different perspective about the fight. I understand how we have different views but 118 against 110 for Akhmadaliev seems to be going too far. It almost looked like he was paid to be a judge. (assuming) It's a close fight, and it should be seen in their scores. The score he gave is too questionable.

It sure do look that he got paid in my perspective, I mean, look at those two other judge as they both scored 115-113 in favor of Tapales and then there is this Javier Alvarez (judge) who scored way out of the line and tried to pull Murodjon's chances or at least tied the outcome of the fight.

If it wasn't for that judge, the fight could've ended with a unanimous decision in-favor of Marlon Tapales because he totally deserved it as he owned most rounds in the fight. Also, Eddie Hearn tried to make an appeal that the score was wrong and his cow, Murodjon, should have won that fight and retain his belts.

Better luck next time, Hearn! Grin It's already obvious that your cow(s) really got some help in almost every fight you made.

Sa Suns at Warriors ako mamaya.Ganda ng mga karong mamaya kahit sabihin pa natin na may ibibigay na laro dahil sa positioning, kung baga swertehan nalang to hehe.

Pero sasabayan ko na rin to ng live betting para kahit papaano ay hindi tayo madali sakaling may bigayan man na magaganap.

Good luck sa ating lahat at happy Easter betting.

Kung parehong x2 yung natayaan mo malamang bawi ka lang kasi talo ung Suns pero nakabawi ka naman sa Warriors pero kung sa live ka naman nakataya malamang alam mong wala yung core players ng Suns at baka nagbago ihip ng hangin at iba na natayaan mo hahaha. pero sa Warriors malamang swabe yun kasi talagang maganda ang nilaro ng Warriorss at mataas din yung naging layo ng lamang.

Tabla lang ako sa taya ko kahapon kabayan, may profit sana Kung Suns yong nanalo sa tinayaan ko dahil almost x4 yon dahil nga wala yong core players nila. Hindi ako nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na pumusta sa live betting dahil yong dalawang team na pinustahan ko lamang Hanggang matapos yong first half.

Ang aga pala ng mga laro ngayon hindi tuloy tayo nakapusta pero bawi nalang tayo bukas.

Oo nga hindi ko din napansin na maaga pala mga laro, pero bukas maraming laro kasi kung hindi ako nagkakamali last na atang game ito ng bawat koponan para sa parating na playoff, medyo mahirap mag timbangan ngayon kasi baka manipulado ung ibang laro kaya sa live ako mag aabang baka matsamba or kung mag aalanganin ako eh manunuod na lang muna ako mahirap masunugan hehehe.

Good luck na lang kabayan sana medyo bwenasin bukas para medyo maganda ganda ang pasok hahaha..

Bat kaya ang aga kabayan? Yan mismo din kasi nangyari ngayon, aga ko nang gumising para may masilayan pa akong mga games pero nung pag check ko ay tapos na pala lahat. Sa 15 games, wala akong naabutan ni isa haha. Gusto ko pa sanang mag live bet eh kasi di ako nakataya kahapon dahil na busy din buong araw dahil nga ay Easter Sunday.

Kayo ba ano-ano natayaan nyo?

Di ko napansin yan kabayan dahil normal na oras lang din naman yung game ng Lakers vs Jazz kanina, @Crypto Arena din yun kaya pabor sa atin ang oras dahil tirik na ang araw dito sa atin nang mangyari ang game na yon.

Maiba tayo, sa tingin nyo sinadya kaya ng Suns na piliin ang Clippers sa 1st round ng playoffs? Kasi kung tutuusin ay winnable naman din kasi yung last game nila kanina para Warriors ang kanilang makakaharap sa 1st round at hindi Clippers. Ngayon ay parang nakapabor tuloy ang Warriors dahil Kings ang kanilang katapat, isang team na wala pa masyadong experience lalo na sa playoffs.
1975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez on: April 08, 2023, 10:38:44 PM
Josh Taylor on the other hand seemed to be too confident despite his inactivity and poor performance in his last fight against Catterall. I can feel that he is belittling Teofimo Lopez's ability to win as he is predicting the big possibility of him taking out Teofimo in the early rounds.

That's not unusual, especially for undefeated boxers. He has the right to say whatever he wants, given his decent record, and as long as he remains undefeated, he can claim whatever he needs to elevate himself further. I hope his statement will motivate Lopez to train harder, so that we as fans can fully enjoy this big fight.

Correct, that is surely his rights because he managed to carve himself a name in the industry and reach the position he have now without any scathes on his records. To be honest, I can't help but agree with JT's statement towards Teo because he is indeed talented enough to back-up his words while the latter isn't that much of a threat and what he did was to defeat boxers who was injured, just like what he did when he was still at 135 and managed to have himself 3 belts, and that's why he got defeated when he faced an aggressive and healthy boxer, Kambosos Jr.

I can actually feel that Josh Taylor is more eager and really yearning to win. It seems like he isn't just confident to win this match but also well-prepared to prove himself in the ring more. Despite having poor performances previously, I guess he's willing to make a better record in this upcoming fight. I hope he wouldn't miss an opportunity to do better and to establish a promising record this time.

Yes, that's the word. More eager and hungrier compared to Teofimo Lopez and honestly, I'm really not convinced that Teo can somehow make a way to upset the former undisputed champion because his skills and talent is surely not enough in-front of Josh Taylor. Moreover, I believe Josh is on a campaign again to have the belts back that was once under his possession and Teo cannot do anything to prevent that from happening.

Is this final and official though? And they have a date already but no official announcement? and they want to tell the public and  claimed the official announcement is expected at Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia on April 22nd?

I still one of those who still wanted to see this fight despite the initial negotiation ended up dead and all fingers are being pointed to the camp of Crawford as the one who stalled the fight and he has pictured to be ducking Crawford. So if it happens then mad respect for him to accept it.

Don't expect until it was clear in the sky that everything is official.

Although lots of sport news website gives buzz on that news, to avoid being frustrated, we just have to wait for the official announcement. I'm looking that this fight will now happened as people are too sick on these expected fight but will fail at the end.

Intense announcement! let's wait.

Quite a bit interesting why would they wait for Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis fight until they announce it when they can always have their own press conference and announce that the unification fight between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. is finally happening after all the back and forth happened in the past few months. Apart from that, they should also explain what happened about the Thurman vs Spence fight because Thurman fans are also eager to know.

FIFA manages to give us new surprises every World Cup. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar has been brilliantly organized, whose reputation still lives on around the world. Hope FIFA will hold the next World Cup with more grandeur. In the next World Cup we will all see a new whole of young players in the team.

I don't know what you are talking about. Qatar 2022 was marred by many controversies and scandals. Tickets were overpriced, LGBT and unmarried couples were discriminated against, and alcoholic beverages were banned at the last minute without prior warning. Qatar just wanted to showoff their petro-wealth, and I guess they managed to do that. I found the 2018 FIFA World Cup much better organized, compared to the 2022 edition. And to be very frank, I would say that 2022 edition was one of the worst ever since I started watching football.

Some people believe the 2022 world cup was well organized but I didn't think the same way, they just spent lots of money to build the stadiums they won't need after the world cup, I mean for a country like Qatar without famous football teams where they hardly get qualified for the world cup building these stadiums was just wasting money but this time in the USA and two other countries there won't be a problem like this.

Probably because they are too focused on what happened on the television or only see whatever the Qatar just wanted the people to see, but behind the curtain where the cameras don't reach, there are many issues that has happened prior the World Cup 2022 and even during the event. The live audience and workers behind the event can speak for it because they are the ones who experienced the trouble that the organizers did. Hence why there are so many people who are contradicting that the World Cup 2022 was amazing, but yes, I agree, this time in the 2026 WC, it will be a better place for all the workers and viewers.

^^ First time though that Luka might be having doubts with the Mavs now or even thinking why the hell they got Kyrie for nothing at the end of their regular game. It seems that they have this game already, however, they might be looking for next season already as Luka didn't play that much in this game.

For the Kings vs GSW, this could be a preview of the first round playoff series.

And as usual, Warriors living on their 3rd quarter run and now leading double digits entering the 4th.

No mate, the Golden State Warriors are in for a much difficult opponent on the first round of the playoffs this year as they are about to face the Phoenix Suns who are now resting their cores until the regular season ends. Both teams will pretty much have a difficulty because neither one of them is taking a slack for the long series game but I'm more interested how will the Suns play this 1st round because they are hungry to win at least one chip, especially CP3.

Yeah preparations and more marketing to promote the fight though both are already known fighters but due to some delays maybe fans will need to be aware that the fight will be proceed. I will wait till there's a final date and when both of them completed the signing of contract and have the press conference to make sure that the fight will take place.

Still waiting for any confirmation if which fighter Spence will take and sign a contract.

I hope we'll get an official update from all camps, Thurman, Spence, and Crawford camps, why would something like that comes out, so many sports pages are feeding it on social media and even the search engine are showing that the fight is going to happen on some articles and some articles are not sure if it's going to happen, there's so much circus between the two and the boxing community are at loss on who will they believe.
I prefer to believe that Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman is the one that will push unless one or both camps confirm it but I guess we'll have to wait for the Tank - Garcia fight, because there's news that this is where they are going to announce it.

Honestly, I really don't expect that this fight will push through nor about the fight that just surfaced lately, the Crawford-Spence unification fight. It's truly hard to consider these two bouts because of the image that Spence and Al Haymon portrayed in the industry right now, I can't blame anyone if ever they aren't convinced that a unification fight will suddenly happen out of nowhere.
And in this bout, if ever this will not happen, let's expect that Keith Thurman will have his own interview or statement saying whatever happened why the fight didn't materialized.

Assuming Garcia will walk inside the ring just like the confident and strong fighter that he was, then he has real chances of beating Davis. We've also seen Garcia not easily affected by a knockdown in the past. So he's probably not to be easily finished should Davis knock him down.

The fighter with the better strategy is likely to win in this matchup. Given that both are KO artists, they are aware that a single mistake could cost them the match. I don't anticipate an early knockout; it's more likely that it will come in the later rounds once both fighters get tired and become more aggressive.

Right, being biased here won't mean a single thing as even if Ryan Garcia or Tank Davis got the advantage of the given factor, it's not yet sure and guaranteed that either one of them will have a success on this fight. The fact that both of them is a KO boxer which means that both of them got an equal chance of destroying each other inside the ring, now the anticipated question is, in what way will this fight finish?

Yes, although Tank is the favorite, Ryan Garcia is want we call live dog, he has good chance to upset the favorite because he possesses that one punch knockout power too. But we are all biased to Tank though, I mean he might be small but definitely packs a lot of power in that frame, just like Manny when he was campaigning at 130-135 lbs wherein he knocks out his opponent at that weight category.

Not going to deny that because I'm also biased to Tank, I mean who wouldn't trust him to defeat Ryan Garcia when in-fact we already saw Tank Davis's capabilities and I sure believe that Ryan Garcia's height and reach advantage won't really matter because this is not the first time Tank is fighting tall foes. While Ryan Garcia here, although he also packed a power in his fist, we sure can't forget that he's not that experienced, and his defense can be penetrated easily.

And it's according to one thread, in this fight, someone will make it official about the Errol Spence vs Bud Crawford fight. So we will see if it is going to happen because that is one of the most anticipated much as well. Just like this fight, two boxers in their prime and both are champions.

Let's see about that if that is indeed true but my take about that announcement is even if they will announce that a unification fight will happen, that won't give us an assurance that it will really push through knowing Spence and Al Haymon's history.
