^ Yes, that's the thing when fighters are under contract, in this case Spence under PBC. He can't do anything if the management says that he needs to fight boxer A. So even if he doesn't want to, for sure he will be force to fight Thurman next as they have been mandated.
As of now, Spence is still blaming Crawford for their fight not happening.
And with that, both fighters now have move on, they will have their own schedule fight. Not sure though if the doors is still open for another set of negotiations if they win their respective fights as Crawford make it public as what is the reasons.
I think you mean Crawford's blaming Spence including Al because they are the main factors on why the unification fight suddenly become hard and impossible for Crawford. Well, it's understandable that Spence cannot do anything because Crawford was in that same situation too when he was still with Bob Arum. I just pity Crawford because he waited long enough to the point that he was already inactive for a year, and this is what he received. Yes, but still though, you can sense that Spence is not going to accept it in public that they are the reasons for this falling out. Crawford recognized that he can't make the fight with Bob, and so he decided not to sign the contract. And yet why the fight didn't still happen? They said Top Rank and PBC are not in good terms, unfortunately even if Crawford is no longer with Top Rank and try to negotiate himself in the fight, PBC tries everything in their power to not just give him a fair deal, but stall the fight multiple times since May. Just show how powerful Al Haymon is in the business of boxing. Powerful enough to not push the fight in one of the biggest in 147 lbs in recent years. And it seems to me that Spence Jr have been sort of brainwashed that he didn't need Crawford to be great or a legend. But we think otherwise. Maybe the camp of Spence and Al Haymon will be silent about that issues until it settles down. But that is a sign that somewhat what Crawford says in public is true as they are not refuting it at all. Being silent did not helped their situation at all because that way, they are just feeding the people information they needed that they are indeed the ones who ducked and needs to be blamed on why the fight did not happen. Spence may think that Al just wants to help him and preserve his status but sooner or later, he will find himself in the same shoes as Crawford because he risk with the chance to cement his legacy when he had the chance. |

Yes if Bob arum handle Inoue Then he will know when to fight and also who will be the opponent of this monster like what bob arum did manny pacman to show up and now holding the one and only 8 division champ in the world. Then what do you think to inoue is he will overtake many or not?
As we can see that inoue nowadays is unstoppable in his division but when he will reach higher then he need to practice more speed than his opponent to control the fight.
Not impossible to take, but I think that Naoya Inoue already has the speed he needs, he out-speeds the flash, Nonito Donaire, in their 2nd bout, while in their 1st but he is having a hardtime with him and the fight goes the distance, for me he gained ultimate power and speed from his training while we can not say that Donaire isn't training and it upped his game, Naoya Inoue just double his ability the last time they fought, but for me, I can not compare Inoue with Ryan Garcia in terms of power and speed, because I think that we can not compare him to Ryan Garcia and because he only holds 3 belts in the same weight class, the WBC, WBA, and IBF, the only belt he doesn't have was the WBO where Paul Butler has it, He out speed Nonito Donaire on their 2nd bout because Nonito is not that versatile and agile anymore compared to his younger years. There is a 3-year gap between their 1st and 2nd bout, given the Flash's age, it's clear that it will take a toll on his body while Inoue is approaching the height of his career and getting stronger inside that 3-year span. And Inoue and Garcia isn't really that comparable because they aren't on the same division and they're are also different in-terms of what they attained in their careers. Garcia has yet to hold his own title, so he still have a lot to prove before that. That statement is true Inoue is on his prime when the rematch take place while Donaire is already on the part of his last dance, though he tries his chance, but the Monster dominated him and knock him down. Nothing to say regarding to the comparison of Garcia and Inoue maybe if they will meet in the same division, we will be able to see and the comparison will be valid. For now, Inoue is on the mission in collecting more belts under his name, not far to achieved as he is the favorite here against Butler Though, even if we know that, I still favored Donaire on their 2nd bout because I had that feeling that Donaire at his age, could still give a good fight with Inoue because we saw how close their fight on their 1st bout, but the unexpected happened as well as Donaire didn't expected that. It was evident that Inoue and Donaire's gap has gotten wider throughout those given year. Speaking of Donaire, after his statement post-fight that he will still continue his career for a coupe of years, I expected that he will go down in 115 lbs. But that is not the case this time because after hearing Inoue's future plans, Donaire decided to stay in bantamweight and the WBC ordered a fight between him and Jason Moloney. |

I do not know what is wrong with the warriors and why they are losing lately but on paper, they are supposed to be a strong team. Maybe there is too much offense in their team that defense is already neglected. They are giving the opponent too many scores. This season they are 119.2 opponent points per game. They are the highest so far. This shows how lacking they are in defense.
The Lakers are questionable to me too. At the rate they are going, they will not make it to the playoffs. They may not even make it to the play-in. They need drastic changes to their roster in order to improve their standing.
On points they are not really behind, in fact they held one of the highest points per game made but as we can see, that is not enough to bring the team to a win. Chef Curry is still have the hot hands and leads the team when it comes to offense, but it seems to me that their offense is not their best defense because the other teams in the league already know their small ball set-up. Frankly, they need a couple of players who will give them a stronger defense than what they have now because they chose to let their best guys in defense during the off-season. |

Giannis unable to carry his team with the full combination of Young, Hunter and Murray, Hawks win with a very productive role players who execute the game play to help their stars to win this game against Giannis and the bucks.
Hawks are very scary now, thanks to the addition of Murray, without him Hawks might be solely reliant on Young to carry their offense, so the move of getting Murray is very smart and they'll be for sure well prepared in the playoffs. They are not the same team anymore as they are more unpredictable now compared to the previous seasons. DeAndre Hunter as well deserved some credits but Murray's IQ is somehow different, that's why it's kind of a jackpot that they acquired him from the Spurs and reasonable enough for a couple of first round picks. Moving on, we have 5 games tomorrow. Did you guys already picked some games to follow? I'll get the Memphis ML and Nets ML, both teams has been defeated in their recent game and I have a feel that both of them will bounce back. |

We have a lot of fights in the wing, Garcia vs Davis, these two have been promising us boxing fans for a fight, hopefully it will push through next year regardless of their network. And then for all the belts, Haney vs Loma, another great fight for us, Loma used to have all the belts, but Haney's skills are too much for Kambosos. Who knows, maybe Kambosos will figure out how to stay in the division as well to mess things up.
There are a lot of great boxers now but their promotions are the one stopping them from meeting in the ring, one example is the Spence - Crawford, the boxers should have a say on who he wants to fight, Garcia has been badly wanting to fight Davis for a long time, but it's not happening, hopefully now that Garcia is showing eagerness again Davis camp will sit up and make a deal, Loma is always ready to fight anybody and so is Haney so we'll see this two going at each other next year with no problem with their respective promotions, its time that great boxers meet in the ring and promoters agree to complete the deal. Sad but true mate, it's the promotion and network ties that preventing us to witnessed great fight in this division. Although I'm seeing the Lomchenko vs Haney can be made because they are tied to Bob Arum's Top Rank. But the other fight like Garcia and Davis, Golden Boy/Premier Boxing, might be hard to make this fight and Oscar recently criticizes PBC, siding with Crawford when he reveal what goes behind the scene on the negotiation between him and Al Haymon. And same with the Cruz vs Stevenson, although ordered by the world governing bodies, possible that it won't happen because of boxing politics. Can be made but it's not yet clear to know that there would be no stumbling block on their future fight because Haney is under Eddie Hearn and we know that Loma is under Bob Arum, usually, Bob will always insist to televise the fight in ESPN. Just like what happened between Crawford and Spence in the recent years because Spence is with Al Haymon's PBC. And I'd like to correct you mate, Tank Davis is not with PBC, he's under Floyd Mayweather Promotions while yes, Ryan Garcia is with Golden Boy. |

As investors we have to do analysis, many people think that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are very good investments, the influence of influencers who continue to motivate to invest in cryptocurrencies has proven to be effective so that many people continue to try their luck to invest in cryptocurrencies.
Yes, many people prefer to speculate in investing. so they do it recklessly and without understanding the risks they are taking. In fact, in any type of investment, an analysis is needed. and of course we must first know the risks taken. so that our mentality becomes ready for whatever risks that occur in the future. and to invest in assets that have high risks such as crypto, of course we need to be able to understand the ins and outs of crypto itself. recognize the potential and risks of crypto. because crypto does offer high profits but comes with high risks. (high risk high gain) Speculating is not the worst because the sad reality is that there are some people who invest based on hype, up until now and they are the most unfortunate people because their mistakes are gonna be expensive. It's like going to a war without knowing the reasons and without the right equipment to win, and survive. Just like what you've said, in any given investment, may it bonds, stock, real-estate and crypto, it's still much better to equip yourself some basic knowledge before doing the first step because investing blindly is so risky. |

Without bitcoin, the world will continue to run, the world economy will continue to spin, and human life will remain as usual, but if bitcoin is not created, there will certainly never be new challenges in the assets that we hold and control ourselves, basically there is no one. no one knows what was in the mind of Satoshi Nakamoto at that time, the originator of bitcoin whose name is known throughout the country, but until now no one has been able to reveal the true identity of Satoshi.
Well, of course, the world will continue to run as well as the economy inside it, but without bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, our choices would be much limited just like what the OP have stated. And the governments around the world will take advantage of their controls and continue to make their people blind to the reality that they're getting robbed. And for the creator behind bitcoin, as much as the creator would like to take credit from it and to be known around the world, he, Satoshi chose not to reveal himself/herself/themselves. Let's just respect it and stop finding the real identity behind the name Satoshi Nakamoto. |

Due to the high volatility, you can't use Bitcoin as fiat money. There will be existing fiat whether paper money or digital forms. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that exists in the virtual world, it will exist the same and still, we can use it for borderless transactions. It has a value that is backed by the community. Bitcoin won't be the only future money. But yes, it is digital money which is called cryptocurrency.
Yes, and bitcoin wasn't created in the first place to be the future of money or to compete with the existing fiats that are backed by the government and the community. Bitcoin is created to be an asset in digital form and to be a tool or hedge against inflation, an asset that will be much more valuable in the future but risky to be used as a fiat. Maybe in the future, but as of now, bitcoin has still a long way to go before it can compete the fiats. |

It's not surprising anymore if he will do that because he already did that before when he signed up with the Miami Heat because he cannot see himself anymore playing with the Cavaliers. That took some time before he came back to his home team. The only difference now is that he's still under the Lakers until 2024-25 but he can still request a trade if he wants to, I'm not that convinced that he will just sit and wait until the franchise gets the right players to surround him.
Also, it's still debatable that he will retire as a Laker because he already said that he will go to that team which Bronny will be drafted.
I believe that with his contract year ending, he will probably go to whatever team drafts his son. There is a bit more time before Bronny could be drafted so I do not know what he will do until then, but I know that he is already not that great anymore and just going to cruise a few more years and let the year he plays together with his son be his very last season and then retire. I am guessing he is shaping up to be a team owner, which will be awesome if you ask me, we need a lot more old NBA players to become team owners. MJ did it with hornets and he has sucked so far that’s a bad thing of course but Lebron might be different, all these business people do not understand the culture of basketball, I think ex-nba players will be a lot better. That sums it up, Lebron James will do everything just to play with his son and make a history as the first father-and-son duo in one team before he retires and by the year 2024, Bronny James will be eligible to be in the NBA draft. As far as I remember, any team will be pleased to welcome the father-and-son duo as the franchise will be a part of that history. I am guessing he is shaping up to be a team owner, which will be awesome if you ask me, we need a lot more old NBA players to become team owners. MJ did it with hornets and he has sucked so far that’s a bad thing of course but Lebron might be different, all these business people do not understand the culture of basketball, I think ex-nba players will be a lot better. Yes, he is indeed vocal that he wants to own a franchise and made proposals to Adam Silver about it. And I do agree that an ex-NBA player might do more good for the team rather compared to a rich family that doesn't know how to handle things correctly. |

I saw that the Suns were upset by the Magic, tough match for Phoenix.
I didn't expect they'll lose because they are a heavy favorite going to the game. Playing on the road but they are -7.5, I guess they were too complacent and they didn't see it coming, and by the way, Booker was struggling in the game, he was only 6/19 with 17 points only, that's very uncharacteristic of him. Booker was struggling indeed while the game play of Magic works well and they take this win away from the heavy favorite. Lucky to those who take the risk for the Magic, for sure there are bettors who loves to take the big risk with big odds, though handicap is also decent, easy double for those who play safe for this game. I bet most of the bettors favored the Suns to win the game and only few who test their luck in betting with the Magic because it's really hard to bet against them especially in this game that they're facing a team under .400, but an unfortunate thing happened because the Magic managed to upset the heavy favorite. Congrats for those who took the risk! Moving on, for tomorrows game, I'm riding with the Hawks ML @ 2.41 vs Sixers. Goodluck folks! |

Speaking of the WBC convention, As the WBC convention continues to move forward, a slew of bouts was recently ordered. Amongst them, a WBC title eliminator between Stevenson and Isaac Cruz was officially penciled in. https://www.boxingscene.com/shakur-stevenson-welcomes-isaac-cruz-title-eliminator-i-dont-duck-dodge-anybody--170355dI think this is a great fight for Shakur if he step up to 135 lbs, Pitbull is no pushover, the pressure and the power, let's see how Shakur will cover that one. He want's to fight Devin Haney but I guess he needs to go in line. I think Loma will have the first crack, but then again the problem with Shakur vs Cruz might be their promotions and network ties. Hopefully the WBC could be their middle main so that this title eliminator will happen next year. Right! I forgot that Stevenson have already climbed to the lightweight division because he missed the weight needed last time versus Robson, well, thanks for sharing mate. This is interesting because the lightweight are now packed with interesting boxers who wants to have their shot on the title and face Devin Haney in the end. This is good for Shakur because he will be fighting a decent boxer in his debut in this division and I'm expecting that he wouldn't have any struggles with Pitbull because Shakur have the most advantages compared to the latter. |

The only news I'm waiting is that Lebron James will request a trade and seriously I won't be shocked if that happens because this situation he's in is the least thing he should want, at his age, I know he still wanted to win another championship before he depart the league and he won't get that in his current situation. What I'm thinking is he might go back to Miami where Butler is.
No, I don't think so. He will stay as a Laker and will end it as a Laker. It's not him who is the problem, it's the choices made by the Lakers management in picking players to surround him. He had one good team before composed of veteran and young players. That's what he needs because Lebron is not the same as the Cavaliers Lebron anymore, he is more of a playmaker and he is good at it. But he needs players who will fill the hole of what he lacks. Speed, defense, shooting capability (the sharpshooter type), and someone who will handle the same way he does when he needs a break. It's not surprising anymore if he will do that because he already did that before when he signed up with the Miami Heat because he cannot see himself anymore playing with the Cavaliers. That took some time before he came back to his home team. The only difference now is that he's still under the Lakers until 2024-25 but he can still request a trade if he wants to, I'm not that convinced that he will just sit and wait until the franchise gets the right players to surround him. Also, it's still debatable that he will retire as a Laker because he already said that he will go to that team which Bronny will be drafted. |

It is better for the girlfriend that she found out what kind of person he is before the relationship became more serious, after all for a marriage to be successful trust is indispensable and the boyfriend showed he is not worthy of it. Not only he stole from his girlfriend in order to gamble, but after he won he was petty enough to only give back the money he stole, those are not the qualities that anyone is looking for on their long term partner and if anything the girlfriend deserves at minimum half of the money if not even more than that. It is a gambling related story, and what I like about it is that it shows that gambling can help to reveal what kind of a person you are dealing with. Let's not concentrate on what a piece of sh*t this guy is, let's see what has helped us to discover about it. It's gambling. Only half-jokingly, I want to say the following: Wanna marry a guy? Go to a casino with him first, and there you'll see what he really is. In my perspective, both of them are at fault and surely, that big win wasn't a lucky moment for the both of them because it revealed their true colors and characters. The boyfriend should ought to know that he wouldn't have that kind of winnings if he didn't have the money from his girlfriends, regardless if it's stolen or not, he should know that her girlfriend is at least entitled more than that. And for the girlfriend, she too revealed her true color because she demanded a 40 Million while threatening her boyfriend to leave him if he won't give her that 40M. With that kind of girlfriend behavior then it would definitely be leaving her.If she truly loves you then she wont really be demanding that too huge and would just wait up whether you would be giving her some money or not and not acting like that shes entitled nor have that full rights on asking but well there are some point though since its her money afterall.This thing could really be arranged up well in negotiation between you two. There's no need on making things getting more bigger but if things gets more messy then it would really be just right on leaving instead. I cant really let go that huge amount of money on someone who do asking out too much. As I said above, both of them are at fault because on the first place, the man should have avoided an argument if he have just gave his girlfriend the money she deserved. But based on the story shared by the OP, the man has no intention at all in giving his girlfriend a fraction of the money he won and just planned on his own business. Now that his girlfriend knew the story, I'm sure she will be barking until she receive her part. So, I guess they don't really love each other at all because they let this issue to ruin what they had. |

Butler's chance of winning is really slim and if there's some gambler who will take his ML, then upset
happen that's really decent, but the chance is really slim for that to happen as we all see the bookies
side in terms of placing the odds.
Of course, with a small amount of money, that's already enough just to have fun watching the game. With the attractive odds, one would be tempted to put a bet but of course, does not expect much as we know how good Inoue is, and it's the biggest fight of his career as he will become an undisputed champion if he would succeed. Well yes, a chance is still a chance even if it's just too slim. The ML on Butler's favor is more than decent and I won't be surprised if there's somebody out there who gambled few bucks on Butler. But for us who doesn't want the ML, might as well wait for the other options to option like KO and range. What I'm curious about is how would Inoue finish this fight, surely there's a pressure that this fight should be more easy because he even managed to defeat Donaire in mere 2 rounds. I don't think that Inoue will have to think about knocking out Butler early, if it will come then definitely he will go for it. But it's better not to force it as you can make a huge mistake that could prove fatal on Inoue. So just play the usual, don't pressure your self, go with your plan and strategy. And for sure, if the knock out is there, he can definitely score it as he has one of the most devastating power not just in Bantamweight, but in any other weight class. But just like the rest of you guys, I'm not going to bet on the ML for Inoue. Right, it doesn't really mean that Inoue should finish this fight much earlier than what he did against Donaire just because of the pressure alone. He knew and expected already that people will anticipate that factor to happen but it's unlikely especially if Butler will want to survive the whole 12-round and not entertaining the fans as he already knew as well the consequence if he will go for a toe-to-toe with a monster. Inoue would likely finish the fight in less than 6 rounds, if he was able to do it with Donaire, I'm pretty sure a low-ranked boxer like Butler is not hard to deal with for Inoue. However, it still depends on Butler if he is willing to fight because if not, this would be a boring fight and will reach the judges' scorecards.
Yes, at least 6 rounds because Inoue will have to study Butler first and chase him if it's needed just to end the fight much earlier, and considering Inoue's IQ, he won't have a hard time setting a trap for Butler. I bet he does want that too as that will send a message in the super-bantamweight that he is coming for them. |

Even though akaho has the advantage based on the statistics, I am confident that casimero will win this fight in his new weight class because he is currently in his peak.
What advantage are you talking about? I don't see anything that gives any advantage to Ryo Akaho, well, except his reach advantage of few centimeters if you meant that. But if it's experience and ring IQ you're referring then you probably got the other way around because Akaho haven't face any heavy names in the industry, he's more of a local boxer just like Emannuel Tagoe who just surfaced suddenly. The only challenge for Casimero is his own self but I'm quite positive that in this division, he will overcome it. |

I was surprised by the odds given to Portland Trail Blazers as an underdog against the New Orleans Pelicans just because Damian Lillard is out. It's a whopping @4 ML odds and the Pelicans @ 1.26. I understand that the Pelicans will be the Favorites but just can't imagine the distance of the odds as Blazers are currently on a hot start this season.
Fans will miss the supposed face-off between Damian Lillard and his former Blazers duo for long, CJ McCollum on their tonight's matchup.
Pelicans -8.5 @ 1.85 should be a good pick. The handicap -6.5 @ 1.57 for them seems not a worthy pick for me.
The Blazers ML was @ 4? Haven't saw that when I checked their odds last night, did that odds came live? That's too sweet too avoid mate, you could've had a nice profit if you ride it. Well, can't blame you because in my side, I also rode the Dallas game but the outcome was opposite  Anyway, I decided to skip that Pelicans vs Blazers game because the spread was too deep. For the game later, I'm riding with the Suns -7 @ 1.91 vs Magic |

I just don't understand why they need to have Yarde vs Kovkov as a title eliminator. I though Yarde has the inside track already and scheduled to face Beterviev until the later gets injured and so the fight will be postponed till Beterviev recovers.
As well all know, that wasn't the original plan and Koykov's name have just surfaced recently out of nowhere to face Yarde first, I don't know what is the reason behind as well on why did the WBC suddenly announced it. This wouldn't happen if Artur Beterbiev wasn't injured that resulted a delay on their fight with Yarde, now this gives Canelo a chance because Bivol will have to wait for quite a long time. |

Lebron James must be pretty angry with the team now. Because the team are still a mess as it is seen clearly from their results so far. They have won only 2 out of 10 games. Lebron is still doing his best and performing strongly despite being 37 years old. But the team are still struggling to get wins just as it was in the previous season.
Westbrook is still here. Lakers should have traded him with a more talented and consistent guard. If Lakers insist on not making the right transfer moves there is no way they are saving themselves out of this mess.
The only news I'm waiting is that Lebron James will request a trade and seriously I won't be shocked if that happens because this situation he's in is the least thing he should want, at his age, I know he still wanted to win another championship before he depart the league and he won't get that in his current situation. What I'm thinking is he might go back to Miami where Butler is. |
