The spread for the first game is Ginebra -12 against Blackwater, while the spread for the second game is SMB -4 against TNT.

That was an easy one. Ginebra dominated the game and ended up winning by 26 points. It's a huge bounce back after losing previous games, but you know Blackwater is not really a downgrade. They changed their import, but the new import wasn't as good as the old one. Their import only scored 14 points while Brownlee had a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds.

Closely monitoring the second game here between the Beermen and Katropa and it's a close one at the moment that i'm tempted to go for TNT with that 2,40 odds at halftime.

At the same time this one is a low scoring ballgame with the import of both teams only scored 11 and 9 points respectively which i think would still be trend going into the second half so i'm betting now under 212.5 @1.96.

Don't attempt to bet on TNT because Mikey Williams did not return due to an ankle sprain he sustained in the first half. It's very risky in my opinion. I suggest taking a bigger odds in favor of SMB, like SMB winning by 11+ points, which is at 9.25 now.  Smiley

Thanks for the tip mate, you are right, Mikey Williams will not be returning to this game plus TNT don't have Roger Pogoy so they are the underdog now but looking at the plays of TNT, they are just so lucky that they are not leading by 6 points at the end of the third quarter. I won't be betting anymore on this game, just monitoring now my under 212.5 bet that is in the risk of losing as shots from both teams were falling in the third quarter that they scored 63 points in that quarter alone.

Sorry about that, mate. I shouldn't have warned you because TNT won the game. Oftana was able to make the follow-up shot. What a game! I thought SMB was going to win easily since there was no Williams and Pogoy, but TNT's good ball movement really gave them the win. Sorry again.

Much to my surprised Magsayo will not have Roach as his lead trainer he opted to be with Marvin Zamodio, lets's see in this coming fight if Magsayo made the right decision, Magsayo badly needed to win this fight, but changing your main trainer like Roach will make a huge impact in his performance could be bad or good for this coming fight, it will be interesting what Magsayo will show with Zamudio in his corner.

Magsayo, Promoter Explain Change In Head Trainers From Freddie Roach To Marvin Somodio


Quote
“But they relate more. They’re Filipino. They speak the same dialect. And he just felt like he needed a change. He needed a new gym. He just needed to try something new. And, you know, like I said, nothing against Freddie, nothing against Wild Card, but sometimes you wanna try something new, let Marvin lead, be the lead trainer. And we’re gonna see the results. I think we’ll see very good results on March 4th.”

I think it could be the issue that Mark or coach Freddy has a tight deadline with some boxers as well that's why he can't give more time to Magsayo. Not saying that he is the reason why Mark lost, it's not and I would agree that it's better if it will be a Filipino so that there will be no lost in translation.

Marvin has guided Mark before and giving him good advise in his career.

I think it's time for Magsayo to go back to his grassroots training against with his old lead trainer.

I'm not saying this is a bad decision but we know how great Roach having mentored Pacquiao and all other great boxers, he knows what to say and how to say things before and during the fight, I don't know Zamudio, but if he wins the fight against Figueroa it's very likely that he will have Zamudio as a permanent trainer.
I hope Magsayo will be back on the right track Figueroa is just too good every time I watched his style of fighting on Youtube I have doubt if Magsayo can match his skill and aggresiveness.
 

That's not a bad decision because Marvin is already on the side of Magsayo for a long.

As also the same country as Magsayo, it's good to see a Filipino tandem on the court.

Who knows that if Magsayo just continue to win, we will eventually Marvin becoming a popular trainer and soon can reach the level of Coach Roach.

Magsayo and his camp needed to work with how to look for Figueroa's possible weaknesses, just like what you said. This guy has a strong upper body who can engage anytime and can bring his opponent down.

It's tough for Magsayo since he's stamina is his main problem, if Figueroa managed to break him
the chance that Magsayo will fall short in this fight is possible, in that sense that it's not a new trainer
but an old buds who can contribute with what they can do to counter and survive Figueroa.
Every fighter has a way of learning and studying against their opponent and we all know that before the fight they will go for training and also studying the moves of their opponent and once they already know the movement of the fighter they need to counter it so they will train the counter techniques and for this fight not only magsayo have a counter move but also figueroa has that kind of technique as well. Because both fighter aim is to win the match.

True, I mean, who does that? Surely both camps are doing their own homework on how to defeat the opposite camps and take note about their habits inside the ring and its weakness. That will be a struggle for sure, but that's a trade they have to do because it will boost their chances to win the upcoming fight rather than just doing some random sparring without knowing what they are against in the future. That's just like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
2124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury - February 26 in Saudi Arabia on: February 18, 2023, 03:32:28 PM

Well, anyone does have their own comments about the upcoming fight between Tommy Furry and Jake Paul, and people will always find a way to make such comments. But, let's think of it, surely it's their own choice if they will set the price higher because they are also not forcing anyone to see their fight. They are just making the hype and marketing it as that's what organizers and boxers do, the fact is, they are just getting advantage of the situation because their fight has been criticized by many and that makes it more famous. The more haters, the more money. We are also the only ones who are feeding these nonsense so-called boxers to make a nonsense fight.

After all, it's just a business, there is much less sport here. Mauricio Suleiman announced that if he wins, Jake Paul will be placed in the official WBC world heavyweight rating (up to 90.7 kg). For Jake, this can be an additional motivation if he has such a goal, and if this does happen, then canceling fights in professional boxing will not work so easily. ) Fury continues to claim that he is a professional boxer and will knock out Jake in this fight.

All these news and hype with the recent statement of WBC's president, then suddenly Tommy Fury will back out that will result to a cancellation of the fight. I wonder what would Jake Paul feel as his ambitions are shattered with Fury's selfish move Grin But seriously tho, I hope this fight will happen so that it will end much sooner because bouts like these are more like a circus rather than a real boxing entertainment.

Even if Jake Paul will receive his rankings after he defeat Tommy Fury, I doubt if there's any boxer out there in the upper rank that will give him a chance. Anyway, let's see about that in the upcoming months.

What a big break indeed to Alejandro Santiago's career as even ranked 6 by the WBC, he now has the opportunity to take the Bantamweight title.

A long gap age difference between Donaire and Santiago but I hope others won't just point out the age as a possible hindrance here for the former. Good to know that Donaire didn't wait for long and that the negotiation is being organized right away to set up the match for the vacant WBC Bantamweight title.

Still looking forward though for the "Filipino Flash" to winning that match. I want to see if Donaire still "has it".
I am glad that Donaire does not have to wait for an eliminator fight as he simply cannot afford to do so right now, and this is a good opportunity for Santiago as well, as you say it is rare for someone that is ranked that low to be given a chance, but since Inoue left all the belts vacant everyone that is worth something on the division is trying to put themselves on the best position possible and this is opening the door for someone like Santiago to get an opportunity at a world title.

A good opportunity to hype his name, win or lose that kind of chances will bring him into a contender category, something that most fighters are really aiming.

I like to see him trying all the best that he has to make his way to this possible title, though inside me,
it's still Donaire even he's not the same old flash but for whatever reason my trust still on him for these upcoming
fight.

It is indeed an opportunity for Donaire's new foe because the man has been upgraded suddenly to a championship fight even though his records don't actually match as he's nowhere to be found inside WBC's top 5. But who could've thought, Santiago and his camp surely didn't anticipate this to happen that they will be given a chance to showcase their boxer's talent in a championship bout.

in Turkey and Syria a lot of people have been mad homeless and government infrastructures such as banks have been destroyed as a result of the earthquake and other natural and man made disasters that has happened in various regions.

Bitcoin is the best alternative way to save money, with Bitcoin you have control over your savings because it's your wallet and your key and you are your banks!
Since you're saying Bitcoin become your banks, it means you're saying you hold your Bitcoin in your hardware wallet. As we know someone will leave their hardware wallet and the seed phrase in the most safest place, also it's need to be hidden and secret. Now explain to me how you can able to get your hardware wallet or seed phrase when the earthquake destroy your house? Grin

I believe you will not have a time to found your seed phrase because the charity organizations in your country will force you to leave the place until it's already safe enough, at that time you will scared if your house might be cleaned up by the charity organizations.

That just depends on the scenario you're in and since you've put it that way, that kind of situation is unprecedented one as even the experts of any nation doesn't know when or where does the earthquake will happen. Now, personally, it's much safer to put it in a bank locker where only you have the access with it and if that is not what you wanted to do, then you probably know where to put it best as it's you who know the place better than anyone.

Sa ngayon, oo dalawa na ang bumubuhat sa Dallas Mavericks dahil andun narin naka pwesto si Uncle Drew ngayon pero may nabasa ako kanina lamang na tinitingnan ng Mavs ang bawat performance ni Kyrie kung karapat-dapat ba syang bigyan ng extension at nasabi rin na sa kasalukuyan ay parang sa free agency ang bagsak neto. Pero tingnan natin kung may improvement ba or wala sa mga paparating na mga laro.

Ok naman si Kyrie Irving basta puro "basketball" lang talaga nasa isip at wag iyong mga ibang bagay. Never pa ako nakarinig ng matinding criticism regading sa laro niya or kung mayroon man, napaka dalang makita na off-night si Kyrie. Wag lang talaga mag-aasal Diva out of nowhere at GG talaga ang kalalabasan.

Sa speculation ko, oofferan yan ng extension ng Mavericks pero as usual, pag sinumpong si Kyrie, di niya tatanggapin yan.

Lakers ang preferred team niya pero hinarang ni Tandang Tsai kaya baka sa off-season, targeting ni Kyrie ang Lakers.

Pansin ko rin yan kay Kyrie Irving pero yon nga lang ang problema sa kanya, yong prinsipyo na ipinaglalaban nya kung saan ay naaapektuhan na yong team na nilalaruan nya. Pansin ko rin na kapag siya yong umaarangkada sa kanilang dalawa ni KD ay lamang sila sa panalo.

Balita nga balak nyang maging free agent at baka nga ay sa Lakers ang bagsak niya at yong kay Kevin Love na nagka-buyout sa contract ay malamang ay magkaroon ng reunion yong tatlo sa Lakers, exciting din yon hehe.



Di na rin bago sa kanya ang naging asal nya magmula nung lumipat sya sa Boston Celtics hanggang napunta sya sa Brookly Nets ay mas lalong nag astang diva itong si Kyrie dahil nga ay isa sya sa valuable player kaya pinag lalaban nya lalo ang kanyang prinsipyo dahi nga rin ay alam nya na wala magawa ang management dahil kawalan din nila lalo nat nabusuhan na nila ito ng malaking pera.

Tingnan natin kung may improvement ba sa Mavs roster dahil sa ngayon ay di pa masyadong klaro kung maganda ba ang kanyang pagdating. Malaki din nga ang chance na i-rereject nya ang extension bsta sureball na kukunin sya ng Lakers pagdating niya sa free agency.

This is a good matchup for Donaire, and I have a feeling that he will be the favorite in this fight once the odds are out. His opponent has three losses, but is a very active boxer, having won all three fights last year.

I believe most of the posters here will be rooting for Donaire, but it would still be nice to put up a poll to determine who has the majority of the votes.

If Donaire is listed as the favorite, I doubt he will be a heavy favorite. He's coming off a big loss against Inoue, so he doesn't have much momentum, unlike Santiago, who is currently on a winning streak.

I guess there's no need to bring if's when it comes about the bookies favorite because although there's no list yet as of this moment, I know it will be Donaire and there's also a pretty chance that he will be listed as a heavy favorite like 3:1 because Alejandro's rapsheet isn't that impressive as well as his wins by a way of KO and TKO. You can evidently compare it even if Donaire just got out by a big loss against Naoya Inoue who just vacated his belts.
2129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 17, 2023, 06:18:23 PM
Looks like Phoenix is taking an L in the final game before the all star break. They could have used Durant tonight but it won’t be long now before we see his debut. Paul George had himself a game tonight that wasn’t totally reflected in the box score. He was making big plays and hitting hard shots all night. Eric Gordon looks like a great addition also.
Phoenix was out rebounded. outcoached, and outplayed IMO. The Suns need to play more aggressively and get themselves on the free throw line. Get some players in foul trouble and work harder to get wins. Playing soft won't get them anywhere except a seat watching the playoffs.

Watching their game earlier against the Clippers makes me think and wonder that this team might choke again in the early rounds of the playoffs if ever they will have a seat. Fortunately, their chances has improved because they already have Kevin Durant in the roster with them who will give a good impact for the team but that is still unknown at this stage because Durant is still injured and will likely play few games before the season ends.
2130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 17, 2023, 05:53:22 PM
I agree, it is better for Magsayo to be slick, and quick and must launch a scoring punch rather than a knock-out punch.  This way he can compete against Vargas in scoring.  Besides not putting much of force on the punches can render him more mobile and quick.  He should know when to launch heavy knockout punches and the scoring punches.  Sadly, Magsayo is all brawn and not using his brain during the fight against Vargas.  

For sure Magsayo's camp is already aware of those problems. If ever given a chance again to face Vargas, those problems will surely be addressed. Let's also consider the fact that Magsayo isn't really outscored in the match as he won the one judge.


Surely Magsayo has learned a thing or two about Vargas's strength and his weakness especially recently when Foster revealed how to defeat Vargas, although I'm not sure that Magsayo can use that one because they have a different fighting style and Foster is quite slick, that is why Vargas failed in his attempt. This time, Magsayo should level up his game because he will get embarrassed for sure if he didn't learn something from their first encounter.

He need to adjust and learn from his past mistake, adding more on his stamina so he can last long with good breathing, unlike with that first encounter where he didn't manage to win the fight, but for now better to focus with his upcoming fight and think about Vargas after he succeed with these opportunities to come back.

Let see if he will win and start preparing for the title fight if, in case Vargas will negotiate right after Magsayo wins his fight.

They will eventually get to that point if ever Magsayo will have a pretty performance and defeat Figueroa. The winner of this fight will determine who will challenge Vargas's belt and if ever he won't negotiate, there is a strong chance that the WBC might participate to get this bout done as I think Vargas is almost due for a mandatory fight. For now, let's just see first how will Magsayo play his card against Figueroa and wait for the outcome.
2131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Nonito Donaire vs Jason Moloney on: February 17, 2023, 03:52:26 PM
Good news everyone, the waiting time is over for Donaire.

WBC approves Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for vacant bantamweight title

In case you missed who Alejandro is or also known as Pique, he was the one who snatched Jerwin Ancajas's IBF belt and the man who defeated Gary Russell in a majority decision.
Here's his record: https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/637333

Good news indeed for us fans of Donaire.

I think you missed the part that Santiago was the one who snatched Ancajas' IBF belt as it's Martinez who defeated Ancajas twice and dethroned the latter. Though Alejandro and Ancajas fought but it ended in a split draw, correct me if i'm wrong.

Indeed mate! And for the correction as well, @freedomgo might have missed the fact that the Ancajas vs Alejandro fight was declared draw, a split decision. After that, Ancajas managed to defeat another three challengers but was defeat by Martinez twice on the same year.

Back to the fight, I think Alejandro climbed the next weight class after that fight with Ancajas and now, he has been named to fight Donaire for the vacated belt. Not sure why he is picked because he wasn't inside the Top 5 of the WBC rankings.




What a big break indeed to Alejandro Santiago's career as even ranked 6 by the WBC, he now has the opportunity to take the Bantamweight title.

A long gap age difference between Donaire and Santiago but I hope others won't just point out the age as a possible hindrance here for the former.

Still looking forward though for the "Filipino Flash" to winning that match. I want to see if Donaire still "has it".

Let's just expect that mate as people will always find some way to point out that Donaire might struggle because of his age, but against Alejandro who doesn't have any good records and low KO ratio? I definitely think that Donaire got a good chance to be a champion again.

Last 3 games before the break gonna go on all the home teams!

Call me crazy but I got the bulls +8 at home.  Think they can back door cover here.

I like the Timberwolves at home -3.  Think after the break they turn it wlaround fully here.  When Kat comes back they are my dark horse.

And last gimme the Suns-1 at home against the Clippers.  Suns start theor run at the top of the league here.

Good luck everyone!!

Phew! That's quite a bet you got there mate, your early bets didn't go well as the Bulls was defeated, as well as the Wolves and Suns.

Personally, I did also bet on the Suns at the same handicap but unfortunately, the Big Three didn't explode as Booker fell short and CP3 only got 5 points for the team and that doesn't surprise me because this team is like a switch toggle in my perspective. But my Bucks -7 did go through as they defeated the home team, the Chicago Bulls.

Congratulations to all bettors out there who got a successful end on their bets. Let's get ready for the All-Star weekend.

Malakas din naman kasi yung Timberwolves pero halos dikit lang din naman ang laban. Tama ka at more bondings to come pa sa kanilang dalawa.
Magiging okay din yang samahan nilang dalawa at medyo bago bago pa. Mahusay naman silang parehas at yung pinakita nila kaya antay lang din muna tayo sa susunod nilang game para magkaalaman na kung swak ba yang bagong roster nila at hindi na si Luka lang ang superstar sa kanila.

Parang kulang yung ginamit mong salita, hindi ko lang sure ha pero sabi mo kasi hindi na si Luka ang star nila parang ang intindi ko eh hindi na lang si Luka ang star nila kasi for sure ang ginagawa ng Mavs eh nagbubuo ng mga supporting stars para makatulong kay Luka parang ung ginawa dati kay Dirk kung saan kinuha nila si Kidd para makatulong sa campaign nila para manalo ng kampeonato.

Hindi pa lang talaga natin sigurado kung for good or for long term ba yung pag stay ni Kyrie or meron pa syang ibang plano after makalayas sa poder ng Nets.
Tama naman pagkakaintindi mo na ang sabi ko ay:
hindi na si Luka lang ang superstar sa kanila.
Na, dalawa na silang superstar sa Mavs at hindi na solo lang ni Luka.
Sa stay ni Kyrie, siya na rin mismo umiiwas sa tanong kung hanggang kailan sa tingin niya mag stay niya. Pero may kontrata naman at yun ang susundin niya.

Sa ngayon, oo dalawa na ang bumubuhat sa Dallas Mavericks dahil andun narin naka pwesto si Uncle Drew ngayon pero may nabasa ako kanina lamang na tinitingnan ng Mavs ang bawat performance ni Kyrie kung karapat-dapat ba syang bigyan ng extension at nasabi rin na sa kasalukuyan ay parang sa free agency ang bagsak neto.

My bet is you're from Asia, mostly India, or a country in Eastern Europe.

And now the OP is on a -6 trust rating and it will not surprise me anymore if ever that will grow further until a worst case scenario will happen.

And this is the Celtics without Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
No Marcus Smart as well.

This is also why I doubted betting against them. Seriously, Derrick White is getting better on the offensive end and playmaking for the team, that's the 3rd consecutive game with a double-double in points and assists. He just needs the minutes and it's showing up, this is how he played in the Spurs back then.
He already gained that message, he is one of the reasons why Celtics have improved as a team. Not only his offense but his defense as well, his basketball IQ as well is high and he doesn't look pressure on the court, he played with great concentration, so I would say, they really need him in the playoffs, and do things like he did in the past.

And Al Horford as well. Their main-line up wasn't there to face the Bucks and yet the latter almost got defeated by the Celtics 2nd squad. If it wasn't for Hauser's 3 point shot, the game has ended in favor of the Celtics because that shot tied the game and forced it into the OT.

That just shows how deep is the Celtics already when it comes to connection and chemistry, the team has been marinated enough to be a playoff ready kind of team. No wonder anymore that they are leading the whole league now, be it West or East, they are still on the top with 41 wins.

Pansin ko parang nawalan na ng gana ang kupunan ng Lakers dahil nga habang papalapit nang matapos ang season ay di parin sila umuusad sa standing sa West, tapos si LBJ ay di na rin nakapaglaro mula nung na break nya ang record ni Kareem-Abdul Jabbar.

Bukas maraming game, palagan natin yan! Grin

OKC -9 = malamang mag ba-bounce to sila at yakang-kaya na ma cover ang handicap dahil di naman masyadong mailap talunin ang Rockets ngayon.
NOP ML = katapat nila ang Lakers at wala parin si pareng Lebron tapos questionable pa si Davis.

Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards
The Golden State Warriors (28-28) will host the Washington Wizards (26-29) tonight at Chase Center. Golden State is extra strong in their home, hopefully, it is still true in this game.
Warriors key injuries: Gary Payton II (core muscle injury) out, Andre Iguodala (hip) out
Wizards key injuries: Kyle Kuzma (ankle) out



Unfortunately, Miami Heat was defeated by the Denver Nuggets by a 4 point margin. It was a close game though, both teams are chasing each other in every quarter but the Heat didn't manage to get the last quarter.

Tailing you on the Golden State Warriors -3.5 @ Chase Center, I believe they can still defend their home successfully today even without Steph Curry on the floor because of a lower leg tightness. The management has said that he won't be playing until the All-Star game.

I think Melo's career is over, he averages 13 PPG with the Lakers but he does not give a big impact on the team to win. Maybe if the Suns will acquire him, that will give him a bigger chance to win a championship than his contribution to the team. I have no hate for Melo, but his time being a contributor to the team is already over.

If there's someone I think they should sign, it should be DeMarcus Cousins, he'll surely be a good backup Center for Ayton.

Who knows, friendship can win over game contribution. Cheesy But I do agree with what you say, if they will ever try to sign Melo then I think he will just be a roster filler or a backup shooter for garbage times. Maybe he could also offer some advice to young players in their team.

About Cousins, yes, I'd take him over Melo. He had been showing all his workouts in his social media accounts and I think he suited to play again.
But no team had been interested with him yet and the All-Star is near. If Suns really want to strengthen their core, they may need to add some defensive players because they are now filled with offensive ones.

They both needed an offense and a defense kind of player and it really depends on the Suns how will they weigh the scenarios because I know that they are also thinking a good contributor from the bench or if someone from the main line-up will have an early exit because of some problems and injury. Same here, DeMarcus Cousins is probably much better if we compare him and Melo.

It looks like Vargas won't be moving up in weight division soon.  So it is interesting to see the outcome of the fight between Magsayo and Figueroa if Vargas will accept the winner of the fight as challenger.

No need to think if Rey Vargas will accept the winner of the Magsayo vs. Figueroa bout as a challenger because whether he likes it or not, it will be a mandatory fight for him to fight an interim champion. A mandatory title defense is really the next thing he will be assigned if he loses to Foster.
yups as He has no chance of deciding not until he made His own name in boxing and take to the higher tier , but in his standing and position now? he will face whoever the promotion tells him.

I guess that is not the case because even if the specific boxer manages to carve his name in the industry and has managed to be the unified champion, that same boxer still have to fight someone who got the Interim belts of his regular belts. It's designed that way to prevent champions pick their own fight once they got the titles, there will be always a mandatory fight every now and then that will be given to them.
Exactly, a champion should be sanction to fight the challenger who are at the top, that way he will really be tested if he is still the best. Because if they will not make that, then it would be easy for the champion to cherry pick an opponent to ensure he will still  hold the belt/s for a long time. Once a champion stays a champion for a longer period of time, that would only mean he is a good fighter, and it's up to him if he will decide to go up and face new challenges just to push himself to his limit.

Inoue is taking a risk, there is little doubt in my mind this is the case, and we have a very recent example with Canelo, Canelo has a huge punching power on his division, but as soon as he moved up and fought against Bivol his punching power became trivial and Bivol dominated him clearly, now I think of Inoue as a better fighter than Canelo so it is likely he can overcome this, so it is a risk to fight a champion right away but even then I still think he can win.

Inoue taking a risk? Fulton is even the underdog in this match. Inoue can surely handle Fulton. That Canelo's case is different from Inoue's today, Canelo is pushing for a big difference in the environment when he chooses to fight Dmitry Bivol. Just wait and see how Inoue will beat Fulton and unify all other belts at the Super Bantamweight division.

As we speaks, Inoue as a challenger is still the Favorite to win the match.

I believe Canelo was also the favorite when he fought Bivol, but it turns out he was well dominated by the speed and size of a champion. Maybe this fight is quite different as Inoue is the heavy favorite, and I think Inoue is very much comfortable with the new weight class.

Yes, he was. However, Inoue and Canelo are completely a different fighter. So, different fighter, different weight class, and definitely will have different outcome.
In this match, Inoue will surely going to be heavily favoured than Canelo had when he fought Bivol.
I am one of those who admire Inoue, as he is a complete fighter. Not underestimating his opponent, but more of believing what Inoue is capable of.

Actually, it was Canelo who has the heavy favorites compared to Inoue because he is only a slight favorites against Foltun.

Based on these articles.

It's just that Inoue's fight is the latest that we forget the old fights of Canelo already. At the end of the day, we still don't know who will win despite a fighter is a heavy favorite.
