Canelo gets better after his loss to Mayweather, he learns his lesson and he trained harder. In fact, if Canelo and Mayweather will fight now, I believe that we will see the opposite of that fight, and though Mayweather is very slick, I'm pretty sure Canelo would hit him and would probably knock him out.
I also believe that. Canelo already matured after that loss from Mayweather and the same perceptions if they will fight again I'm pretty sure that the outcome is different, Mayweather is good but seeing how Alvarez adjust and keep winning his fights that would be a big difference if chance gives them that rematch. Moving back to this upcoming Bivol fight, we will probably see the adjustment since he will be facing a much bigger and stronger opponent. Yes, we can expect an adjustment from him, however, Canelo is not afraid of fighting a taller and bigger fighter as he already beat a lot of fighters like that in the past. He might not able to beat them in the early rounds but with his maturity and ring IQ, his strategy is slowly but surely so in the end, his opponent will be gas out because of the consistent power punches they will receive. Canelo's advantage against taller and bigger opponent is his speed, so he still have an edge. I couldn't agree more. Canelo's discipline is really good and we can really see it every time he steps in the ring. He is also very patient especially in the first couple of rounds, it is like he is still learning up until now even in the middle of the fight until he can analyze his opponent and starts to throw some huge blows that his opponent can't guard and yes until it run out of gas. |

During the building of the so-called "superpowered" Lakers team, I thought to myself that with so much old all-star players, they will not be as efficient compared to the time back when they are at their prime. This is the consequences right now- all of those players are old and starting to show some age. While we may argue that Lebron James is still the King with his athleticism, talent, and raw strength, he cannot carry his team alone.
The whole Lakers team were scattered and all around the place. Booker was just effortlessly shooting perimeters and corners without any effort at all. With that kind of defense, I do think that Lebron is slowly getting frustrated to the point that he "MAY" be considering on retiring or switching to another team.
You predicted it right.  Lebron is not getting any younger. He want to have more championships at the remaining years he got before retiring but I don't think this is the team that would help him on that path. Coach Vogel was a defensive coach. "Was." I think they are missing that because we don't see it anymore. They lack young guys now, those who would sacrifice anything for a championship while they are young. When I see Reaves doing all the work in their defensive line, I also see the problem. It's not just the coach but also the veterans and that's why it's difficult for them to win. What LBJ needs is a tandem that can be his double or help him achieve every win, not a Big Three. That Big Three era was already finished and we all see that it is not applicable this time around. LeBron can still be in Lakers but frankly, they should get a different coach with a different approach and invest in young players who's worth it and not some Allstar that is already way past on their prime. |

I don't think there will be no money in this fight, there will be enough for both, biggest paycheck ever for anyone of them. The hype is still there specially if Spence bet Ugas in his fight. Crawford has been calling him for quite sometime now, it's up to Spence to response back to make this fight happen. We don't want to see him on the downturn of their career before facing each other. It should be in their primes, in the next 2 years.
There's no problem on how much money the fight will generate but the concern is, no one is willing to a 50-50 split. Both camps have a big reason not to make it even and that's not making sense to them. It's really hard to negotiate on that part especially if both boxers have a big name. Unless one of them will make way for a less split, then that's a good step for the fight to push through. The only time I remember seeing Crawford likely to accept a much less split is when his name becomes a candidate as an opponent to Manny Pacquiao (correct me if I'm wrong here). He accepts that because never in his career he got a chance to have a big fight. Spence is not willing to take an even 50-50 split on Crawford, he already said that after he won against Danny Garcia. "I'm the big dog in the welterweight division,"
"He gotta take a backseat and take that 60-40 [split] or 70-30, whatever we give him.", Spence stated. SourceThe splitting is the most biggest problem and the hardest part while arranging a fight because it will really take a long time as both of the boxer is not willing to take an uneven split especially if both of them have big names like Spence and Crawford. Well, Crawford is calling at Spence lately but the question is, if ever Spence will acknowledge and accept to fight Crawford then is he willing to accept what Spence's deal for him like a 60-40 split or worse 70-30? Spence is very vocal on his rank in the industy and just like the source said, he is the bigger dog so he is more entitled in the purse. |

Yes, we are talking about his future fight, but Casimero has one in his hand right now and it is not going to be a walk in the park fight. Butler will go and show his talent in front of his hometown and Casimero will have to dig deeper and try to knock out Butler so that there will be no doubt.
For now, stop pre-occupying his mind with Inoue, because it will not help him that much in this fight.
We are certainly looking forward to a future fight of Casimero especially if he will be given a chance to have a face-off against Inoue because we all knew that this is one of the great fights that we can ever see. But for now, he needs to keep his focus on his upcoming battle against Butler and he must aim to win this fight either via Unanimous Decision or much better if he wins against butler via Knock Out. Though Casimero have some personal issues or problems but this time his career should be his top priority. That's the chance he really needs, and if he beats Inoue, for sure he will get the respect that he deserves. If he sticks with his trash-talking technique, I think there's no problem with that because he proves that he can do the talking inside and outside the ring. Asian champions rule in the bantamweight division, it's time to have an undisputed champion to know who really is the best. I think that's what Casimero wanted to have, some respect because after all he is also a champion and have been tearing up this division for the last couple of years. But he can't have that respect if he goes and continue to trash talk Donaire (before) and Inoue. He should not be opening his mouth, just go out and fight and then knock out every one of his opponent and for sure he will get the respect amongst the boxing community. We already know that Casimero is so talkative at times and throws some trashtalks that at some points it becomes nonsense anymore. But yes, I'm with you on that! Casimero should learn and adjust when is the perfect time to talk or talk back to his opponent, I know its hard in his part because he's so used to it but he should at least learn when to be silent sometimes. |

Majority of people on here does really believe that Mike is still fit on beating up Logan which is younger but it wouldnt be enough speaking out with the experience. Yes because of his stance and on his training, he shows how still fit he is. But it still ends up about the speculation that we have and as everyone is already aware that this fight will never happen. Although he might be old
but he's still capable on doing so on bringing younger boxers and also their weight alone is soo much in difference i believe but why we are still talking if this fight wouldnt happen at all?
Well, that's about the if that we have in our minds. We do know that it won't happen and the discussion keeps on going due to "if" this match ever happens. If this fight were to happen even if it's unsanctioned, people will still grab a tickets just to fight the legendary Iron Mike stepping on the ring again, I mean it's a one in a lifetime chance to some that haven't saw Mike in the ring. Given that Mike is still fit despite of his age, there's no doubt that Logan Paul will get so beaten so bad because of the fact that Logan doesn't have good experience in the ring against the legendary boxer. But yeah, this is just a speculation but it's probably near to reality if it will happen. For now, let's accept and give up the chance that there will be any fight about Mike. |

The LA Lakers continued their bad course in the league with the Houston Rockets game. LeBron James outstanding performance also does not bring success to the LA team. The Nuggets team reflects their successful games in the last matches on the field and they caught a good series.
Yes, the Lakers this season took a very different route and looks like we can't see them in the playoffs this season. LBJ's talent and performance is still good but now that he is aging, he can't really bring the team to the Finals alone. They should take an early rest and figure out what would they do next season because investing and having WB is definitely not good for them. Lebron James show to us what he got right now but I think it too that he can not carry his team alone and he needs a buddy or let say teammates 1 or 2 who can assist him or can carry a team too and them they will get the victory but for now I doubt if they can still play for the playoffs and have a chance to claim the Trophy. I think lakers must have another star player to assist lebron in order to champ again. On point, LeBron can't really do the chores alone now because he can only help set the table rather than doing all of it. He really need some mate to help him because even if AD is healthy, they are still barely winning some games and we know that is not enough to get a ring and a trophy. The Lakers have done many mistakes this season, they really need to invest another set of fresh feet because it's already proven that having a team of full of former superstars won't make it. |

Exactly, too much speculations but the real score will be unfold when the battle is going on inside the ring. Let's see how Spence will going to handle the fight against Ugas and hopefully a Crawford vs. Spence battle will be given a chance to happen in the near future. But as of now, let's focus on what is the scheduled fight and let's witness who's from the two great fighter will be the winner. Well, it's undeniable that Spence really win the heart of many boxer fans. You're right mate, speculations are natural because as a boxing fan it's normal that we are analyzing the fight but having too much speculations ain't good and it will probably end up arguing someone who have a different view or opinion. So let's just wait and see who will win on these two great boxers. Not just the fans, even the bookies are seeing Spence as the favorite but yes, it's somehow expected that he is going to be the favorite on this fight. |

^^ It was really an ugly game for the Suns, yes they have won games without CP3, very close that they could really lost that game if not for some heroics and game ending winning shots. But in this game, it just show how CP3 is important for the Suns, to control the complexion of the game and put themselves in a position to win. But since his out, it turns out to be messy resulting in a lost for them.
Which game are you referring mate? Because I'm quite sure that the Suns have lost today against the Raptors and definitely didn't win. Anyways, they're still in a good position on the East because of CP3's vision. Sadly, CP3 cannot probably play until the regular season ends. Now, let's back betting on tomorrows games: Cleveland Cavaliers vs Chicago Bulls -3.5 - they're definitely undermanned but there's some tip that Caruso and Vucevic might play. * other bets will follow and probably doing live betting as spreads and ML aren't really attractive. |

It is quite expected that there will be many foreign country supporting Ukraine of any sorts, everyone is condemning the Russian Federation and its citizens are taking the direct hit.
You bet! Every fight Canelo had is really anticipated by everyone that is fond of boxing. But this time, Canelo is looking forward to defeat the defending champion which is Bivol. I don't think they can find a replacement considering the time left.
Obviously, the boxing organizations want this a no politics match, and with the two boxers battling it out for the belt based on their skills and not on their nationality if they are not going to play Bivol's anthem I wonder if they are going to play Canelo's Mexico's anthem and wave the Mexican flag Canelo deserves to have his flag waved because he is a proud Mexican heritage. Nah, I don't think it that way. The boxing industry and other sports industries are restricting Russian contender to show support to Ukraine and that they are condemning the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. It may sound political but it's not. It's totally fine if the sanctioning bodies will impose a restriction that the Russian anthem and flag is not allowed in the fight, but banning them and getting their fights unsanctioned? That's too far. |

Nets up by 24 and only shot 7 free throws versus 21 for Philly. Wherever Harden goes this bullshit way of playing basketball won't work. Just continually trying to get to the line while not playing basketball doesn't work against good teams. Hate teams that angle for a zillion free throws they sldeserve to get slaughtered here. Only half way through the bucket of popcorn....
Up by 29 with less than 4 minutes to play for in the 3rd, this is already a big win for the Nets already! Irving and Durant both stepped up really big and this are the kind of games/pressure they live for, they're never scared, neither can you talk your way into their performance, James Harden is exact opposite of that tonight, he needs to toughen up tbh, imagine playing the Nets in the playoffs and this is the Harden you'd get ? Man! When Ben Simons gets back, this Nets team are really going to be terrific! Right now they are in the eight hole. There is not one team in the top 4 that wants to play them in the first round. If durantula and kyrie already available they should be the favorites whether home or away. Big decision if nyc lifts the Vax ban. If so then lights out, the Nets are dead set the favorites to win this conf. Irving has a lot of impact to boost his team mates confidence, Even there bench players and Seth Curry performs very well against a strong opponent 76ers maybe because there’s no too much pressure to handle since they trust Kyrie Irving decision making. They are just keep rotating and waiting for the balance. Nets will surely be the favorite if they can maintain this kind of performance level until playoffs. Will definitely take note on this record as reference for my future betting. A lot of sleeping giants team is already awaken. The Nets is slowly getting back in phase and climbing spots, I don't either doubt that before the regular season ends they can have a seat in the playoffs without playing in the play-in tournament. Even if Irving can't play home games, the Nets is still hard to beat now knowing that KD is back and Seth is getting good in his spot. Almost everyone of them is a threat and can really shoot easy threes. |

If this cases will remain, then I don't doubt that a time will come that they won't let the said athletes or fighters to join such games or events just because they do not share the same beliefs or views.
And that would make the sports boring. Actually, sports is one of the best ways to unite countries, we compete through sports in a friendly manner and it should remain that way. With politics, the real purpose of sports or competition will not be achieve. There's a report that the Klitschko brothers believe that Bivol should not be allowed to box Asked whether Bivol should also be barred from competing while the invasion takes place, Wladimir Klitschko explained: “It’s nothing against the athletes, it’s about the politics of Russia.
“Every Russian representative in this case needs to be sanctioned because this way we show Russia the world is against this senseless war and there is no good in this war.” but for me, this is a good fight and every Canelo fight whoever he is fighting is always a great fight I want to see this happen but I'm also supporting boycotting of Russian products. I have also read this unfortunate news. I don't know how the sanctioning bodies in boxing will react to this call. It is not a far possibility that the sanctioning bodies in boxing will indeed exclude Russian fighters from the sport for now. We all know that there are already other leagues that have announced the exclusion of Russian teams and players. This is temporary of course. This is just to put pressure on Putin in every way possible. I also read about that, don't know if we got the same article but I somehow read that sanctioning bodies are taking strict actions towards Russian fighter and not allowing them to have any title fights while there's still ongoing war. Yes, this is temporary but this sad news is a big deal specially that it is already set. Here's what I read: The IBF, WBO, and WBC have taken various actions, the strictest of which has been a decision to, for the time being, not allow any title fights featuring Russian fighters.
If the WBA pulls its sanctioning of Alvarez-Bivol or sponsors begin to pull out, DAZN may lose this fight and have to scramble for a quick replacement to face Alvarez in what was to be their first-ever pay-per-view event. A lot of money could be lost by losing Alvarez-Bivol.
Time will tell how great the pull of money is when stacked up against the pull of international outrage.
The Call to Cancel Canelo vs. BivolI don't think there will be a strong international outrage against this considering that the general sentiment of the world's population right now is in favor of Ukraine. We are now seeing a very strong support of all kinds of people from all around the world for Ukraine. And also, this fight is anticipated probably 99% because of Canelo. Whether the opponent is Bivol or somebody else, there will still be high anticipation. The fight is supposed to happen in less than two months. There should already be a decision very soon on this because it wouldn't be fair to any boxer who will replace Bivol. It is quite expected that there will be many foreign country supporting Ukraine of any sorts, everyone is condemning the Russian Federation and its citizens are taking the direct hit. You bet! Every fight Canelo had is really anticipated by everyone that is fond of boxing. But this time, Canelo is looking forward to defeat the defending champion which is Bivol. I don't think they can find a replacement considering the time left. |

Butler on the other hand did the right decision to wait for Casimero for another couple of months, I guess Butler really want to prove something on Casimero or he was just after the belt after all.
Both, he wants to win to get the belt, otherwise, he would just fight the replacement but he won't benefit since there's no belt in a certain fight. Now is his chance, it doesn't matter if it's delayed, as long as he will continue his training and do the right strategy in the fight, he certainly has a decent chance to win. Yes, I know that. Aside that he's after for Casimero's belt, maybe this is also a personal business for Butler because as I said, he want to prove something on Casimero and that's the main reason behind the waiting, the belt is just a second reason. Well, whatever it is, they will surely have a showdown next month and see who will win. I like to see how he will prove himself to Casimero, hopefully, he will not be the same as Rigo who is only good at talking but not in the ring. If you saw the fight, you would really feel bored, so we hope that it will not happen here and it will be more entertaining if we will see a KO win. So do I, we already know that Casimero is excited to face Butler next month and he is really preparing about it that's why we are not seeing any movements or updates about Casimero now. As for Butler, I hope he will meet our expectations, I mean, that he will also give a good entertaining fight towards Casimero and to the fans, a toe-to-toe fight and continuously exchanging blows would be really good. |

After dealing with his mental problem, now Simmons is having a back problem. What the F is wrong with that dude? I'm thinking that he doesn't wanna play at all with his new team but... well I hope that isn't the case.
Ben is a talented guy, but he doesn't want to play at all. I mean, if a player had really loved basketball, then he wouldn't have missed almost the entire season due to far-fetched "mental" problems. By the way, there are rumors that he will travel with the team to Philadelphia, and he will probably be present on the bench. To be honest, I don't know how the 76ers' fans will react to his appearance, but there will probably be a lot of hate towards him. No doubt about that, Ben can be an asset to every team because he is talented but I think his really growing his head now. With all the fuss he made and he thinks that he's such an important player, well he is good but he is also not good for any team because he can drop them anytime he wants just because he's having another mental problems towards his new team. He already had a history about it and I don't think that the league will forget about that. |

I see that this thread is active for more than months now but we still don't see any improvements with the negotiations. I don't think this match will happen and also I don't think Mike Tyson will show mercy to Logan Paul and he would beat that kid easily, which that's why I wanted this match to happen but I think it will never gonna happen now.
Not just you mate, truth is that almost all of the people who know Mike Tyson and other boxing fanatics are also looking forward to see Iron Mike fight again in the ring and beating the young Logan Paul who just wants to milk the industry for having some nonsense exhibition fights just like he did vs Mayweather. Sadly, Mike have already talked about this few weeks or month ago that he won't be stepping into the ring to do fights for good. The thread is just active because some are still speculating that this match will happen and the OP is still letting the thread open. I think we should close this thread because this fight will not take place. The topic has already discussed not only the likelihood of the fight, but many other issues concerning both Mike Tyson and Logan Paul. Even if the fight takes place in the future, this thread could be reopened. We'll just wait for the OP for that decision but yes, we've gone through 65 pages in this thread hoping that this fight will come up soon. But both of them said that this fight is just a speculation and there was no agreement at all on both sides about this fight. So, there would be no reason anymore for this thread. |

Golden State Warriors vs LA Clippers - Warriors -5.5 Same with these guys to end the losing streak.
Good luck to all.
But since this game is kinda late, was able to bet on the Warriors, yeah it's about time they ended this slump against the Clippers. LA lost big time on their last game, so that might sting up, while the Warriors without Curry and Thompson gave the Nuggets a close game. Game has started. I got the same bet and yes the Warriors have succeed to put an end to their lose streak, it was a close 1st quarter that it end up in a tied score but they took control until the 4th quarter. The Warriors do seem really thirsty to get this win and at the end they closed the game with a 15 point lead. Spread was also covered well. Wow! Congratulations mate, you do have a keen eye on the teams you have betted because you got those 3 bets right.
After losing 5 straight games, at last the Warriors have won the game against the Clippers today and spread was well covered, same goes for the Nets. Thank you mate, I just kinda sensed that the Warriors and Nets will bounce back today and I'm really glad they did  |

With politics, the real purpose of sports or competition will not be achieve. Yeah, definitely it would really make the sports boring. The sports industry was used to be that way but the situation now is different, how can sports unite the countries if they are also indulging into politics. On Canelo's side, if he can't fight Dmitry Bivol? Then who will because the man have defeated almost all champions in the boxing industry. There's a report that the Klitschko brothers believe that Bivol should not be allowed to box Asked whether Bivol should also be barred from competing while the invasion takes place, Wladimir Klitschko explained: “It’s nothing against the athletes, it’s about the politics of Russia.
“Every Russian representative in this case needs to be sanctioned because this way we show Russia the world is against this senseless war and there is no good in this war.” but for me, this is a good fight and every Canelo fight whoever he is fighting is always a great fight I want to see this happen but I'm also supporting boycotting of Russian products. Any source about this mate? |
