Tagoe could experiment all he wants, he just has to make sure that he is doing it the right way because Garcia is not an easy opponent to crack, he's been down before, was able to stand up and continue the fight. Garcia is a much tougher opponent now with that experience, so it should be Tagoe who should be careful, he could go for a KO but make sure he always keeps his defense so he will survive longer.
Experimenting is not necessary as that would cost him more rounds before he can make up with a good counter-strategy. Why not just do his usual, focus on good points then slowly applied it every round. No room for doing such testing and experiments. While he is doing that, Garcia might be the first to hit him up badly. Stay serious and focused and think of all the things he did during their practice and training. Anyways, we honestly don't need to say what should they do as these boxers are experienced ones. What we need to wait for is how they will execute their strategy on the day of the fight. This is gonna be a big fight as long as Tagoe will focus more on his strengths and show what he has got to gain, and not to lose. Of course, Garcia won't let that happen easily knowing he's been a tough fighter and undefeated in all his previous fights. And to think that he's been a 15-time national amateur champion at he's young age, then he must be very hard to beat. But of course, Tagoe on the other hand is also one of the top boxers nationwide and fighting with Garcia has always been his dream. So we'll see who will bring it to the next speed level. Let's see about it soon and what have they got, these two boxers really deserves to win but unfortunately, a draw in this match is almost impossible to happen. Tagoe here have much experience than the young aspiring Garcia but the latter also have some capabilities that even a veteran boxer don't have. We know it won't be an easy fight as these two won't be an easy opponent to each other. Anyways, the time is near and we will see it soon. |

Mike Tyson have come up with a really good reason on how to tell people and other organizers that he won't be stepping in the ring anymore and do some fights, he didn't specified what's the reason behind it but that surely that statement was clear enough that he don't want to do fights anymore with anyone even if it's an easy money. There's really no way that someone will spend with a billion dollar for just a fight, that's just insane.
That is just another way of saying that he doesn't want to fight anymore that is why he have come up with a huge and enormous price tag, for the last time he is clearing all his statement that his off the ring and a big easy money won't tempt him to do a fight especially for the Logan brothers and anyone who's eyeing him. |

My early pick here ===
Big game coming, 76ers vs Phoenix Suns. The number 1 in the East vs number 1 in the West.
For 76ERS, no injury report, so I'm taking the handicap which is +4.5.. and a little bit for the Moneyline as well.
I really don't know which team to go with here, but the Suns being the home team make it rather more the difficult to go with 76ers here, but I fancy the over 227.5 more. I've also got a bit on Lakers today, I'll be backing the ML @ 2.48 It was a good game, lots of 3 points on the both teams. The game started becoming intense on the 3rd quarter and the 76ers are struggling to catch up the lead because Booker and others were unstoppable. Total score combined is just 218, and the Suns now are on its 8th win streak. That's the longest streak this season if I'm not wrong. |

Lakers and Pelicans will square off later. Both teams are likely to face each other in the play-in tournament too. James and Ingram could be back for their respective teams.
I also noticed there's a poll on who will be the ninth and tenth in the Western Conference. I still think it's those two teams but the Spurs is just a few games behind them.
The Lakers vs. the Pelicans game is over. LeBron showed another great performance scoring 39 points, but it wasn't enough. The Lakers screwed up again and lost to the Pelicans for the second time this season. So if these teams really meet each other in the play-in tournament, then the Lakers will most likely not be able to reach the first round of the playoffs. I thought they got this covered as they are slightly getting back on track but the result was the exact opposite because they were dominated by the Pelicans, poor LeBron who always try his best to carry the team but the roster ain't that flexible enough just like him and they end up badly this season. |

Moving to back to this upcoming fight, Spence may showcase again his skills to climb up and call for Crawford for his next fight.
His fight with Porter was quite not so impressive because he only won via split decision. If he would do the same in this fight, I'm afraid, we might see a surprise because both boxers are champion and Ugas are good using his range.
Another interesting fight after this, and another winner takes all and grabs all the belts in this division.
He does not need to call on Crawford because Crawford has been calling him already, Spence just agree to the fight and this big fight will be settled. Then if that's the case that Crawford is just waiting for the agreement of Spence and his team to settle the big fight between them then I guess Spence should give his best in this upcoming fight of him against Yordenis Ugas. Yes both fighter are champions and I'm excited to see which of them will be the last stand at the end of the battle and if so Spence managed to win the game then maybe we will going to see Errol Spence vs. Crawford fight. Spence will likely win in his coming fight, the question is, is he willing to fight Crawford? I've searched some articles online but I did not find an article stating that Spence is willing to fight Crawford, so it could be he is avoiding Crawford and just taking the fight on social media. |

I'm not surprise with the line as we all know that OKC is already out of the playoff picture, so their games are already a no bearing game, but they came up a bit competitive in this game and the high spread is just a gift for the OKC backers. It's a no bearing game but they keep it close though, they have nothing to lose, but Jokic put another monster number just to put them in the winning column. So I guess OKC will have to go back to the drawing board again for next season, and hopefully Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be healthy for next season. They are a young team with a lot of improvement and maybe they can make to the playoff next year. That's what the OKC need, they have to improve next season and try to have a healthy squad. Nuggets would always try their best to win so they can have the twice-to-beat advantage, after that win, they are now in the number 6 spot but still very close to the number 5 and 4 spot. |

^^ Very very important for Casimero to not have any issues with this fight. And I agree that he has sort it out with hiring a nutritionist that will overlook everything he eat and should be making good meals for him.
So everything is set for him against Butler, only the outcome of the fight is an unknown variables. But for us, Casimero is the favorite and chances are very high that he will win this fight.
MP Promotions and Team Casimero has already sorted that out for Casimero so that he can be healthy and at his edge at the day of the fight. Overall, Casimero has prepared enough for this fight and as for his physical abilities and mental health, it's already good. The only thing left to do is to maintain his health like eating the right food that can boost his immune system more. Few more weeks to go, hold tight people! So are you saying that Casimero is still working with MP promotion? I read some news before that he shifts to another promoter, the same promoter whom Donaire is working with, I just want to clarify this news to know which is true. As far as I know, he bolted out of MP and joined Probellum promotions and this will be his first fight under the banner. So MP and Sean Gibbons are out, and that's why Sean has been attacking the Donaire's because they are intrumental on Casimero joining them on the other side. And we can all suspect as to who is behind the sudden sexual harassment filed by some lady in the Philippines against Casimero. And it's obvious that they wanted to distract Casimero in this fight and maybe hoping that he will lose. Right, Casimero made the last minute call and have signed under the same roof with Donaire, Probellum promotions. But I'm quite confused here, is Paul Butler also under the Probellum promotion? Correct me if I'm wrong because I have read somewhere last month that Butler is the main cow of Probellum which had me thinking that this fight might be rigged. I hope not. |

This fight will surely be an interesting fight to watch and it's been the most anticipated fight of the year because Canelo is sure the favorite here but the people's opinion are divided too because we cannot neglect that Dmitry Bivol surely have that chance to upset Canelo, after all this is his division so he is somehow adept in this weight while Canelo may have fought once in this division previously but he is still just a guest.
Every fight of Canelo Alvarez regarding who will be his opponent in that said fight is always an anticipated fight for every boxing fans who supporting him. And there's no doubt that this upcoming fight is an interesting fight because the undefeated fighter Canelo Alvarez will going to defend his title and belt against Bivol and this time he will going to show us if he can still be the undefeated fighter or we will going to see Bivol winning the game. I am pretty sure Canelo is the stronger fighter in this upcoming fight. Absolutely, Canelo is the pound-for-pound king and an undisputed champion so it's somehow expected that his every matches will be the most anticipated one and the upcoming trilogy is much more anticipated and I bet the fans of GGG and Canelo is dying to know what would be the result of their separate fights. And there's no doubt that this upcoming fight is an interesting fight because the undefeated fighter Canelo Alvarez will going to defend his title and belt against Bivol... Sorry mate, I have to disagree with you here because Saul Canelo Alvarez is not an undefeated boxer. His record is 57-1-2 and his only lost came from the one and only Floyd Mayweather Jr. last September 2013. |

He is one of the boxers who stands at the top in his current class and indeed this requires a lot of struggle for GGG.
Technically, if you look at it from there, it's certainly as expected in this forum because GGG is definitely the favorite and indeed Murata is the Underdog, but indeed this will be tough and most likely this will be a battle with calculations later
I believe that Murata is not just a simple boxer that GGG should take him easy because this man Murata will truly give a difficult fight for him. It cannot be denied that GGG is the crowd's favorite here but it is also undeniable that he should prepare for this fight to be able to achieve the ultimate goal of winning the battle. I can't wait to see them inside the ring and unfold the result right in front of us who among them will stand out at the end. As I said before Murata is one of the pretty good boxers in his class and even he can reach the top top in my opinion and that doesn't come from just relaxing because he is indeed a strong enough boxer to reach that level. Regardless it will be a tough fight no matter who is underdog or underdog but they are very good boxers and they have to stay alert A win here by Murata will make him a boxing superstar. Imagine beating GGG, he would be just like Horn after beating Pacman but in another way because we all know that the fight was very controversial and Horn falls to the hands of Crawford. What I'm saying is that if Murata would win convincingly, it will give him big opportunities to fight popular boxers going forward. Indeed, it will make Murata famous in the industry and there will more doors of opportunity that will open for him, and maybe he'll end up the same league with Inoue or somehow near him. However beating GGG won't be an easy path to take as the Kazakhstani boxer is known for his toughness especially his chin. |

I agree with you depending on who is playing I might take the pels in that too. Back against the wall I'd hate to bet against lebron though, his best comes out in those games. I think the question that really needs to be answered is will AD be playing or not. That is huge.
They might play AD because it's an important game, if they'll lose, that would be too embossing for the team who started to look like a super team prior to the start of the season. Even with AD, I still feel backing the Pelicans because I believe that the struggle of the Lakers this season will not end right away. You're right that this game against the Pelicans will be very important for the Lakers. However, there is no chance that Davis will play because he has not yet fully recovered from his injury. It is expected that he will be able to return only by the first week of April. So LeBron will have to try to win this game alone again. There's still no assurance that Lebron can play on there Sunday match against Pelicans. Lakers show an impressive improvement without James basae on there previous match against strong opponent 76ers because Westbrook is finally awaken his inner beast skills. I assume they can beat Pelicans without James if they will maintain the same level of performance during 76ers match. I hope there coach will not force Lebron to play the game if he is still not ok to play because there playoffs spot will be useless if his injury will gonna worsen later on. Looks like he will be back because as Vogel said that this Sunday is an important game for them so they need him, but it is not yet confirmed. IMO, Frank Vogel should let LeBron to rest more so that he will be back at his A-game soon because there's a much more important than the Pelicans game as they will face the Mavs before the month ends. Let Howard, WB, and Melo handle the helm for the time being. |

Well, if you search chess cheater in the internet then you will be getting a lot of recommendations with the same name "Igors Rausis" and his face is literally everywhere after he caught red handed using a phone and tagged as a disgraced chess grandmaster. I wonder if he's fine with that or is he now depressed after that incident because he can't really take out that tag easily and I bet he won't be living the same again.
I don't know that guy. But, if he's into chess whole of his life and once used it as his career, there's a big chance that he's depressed from the situation that he made himself in. Although as per data, he's already retired and maybe he has learned already and living somewhere else. Living not anymore related to chess. Most case scenario especially in the world of chess or other sports, we cannot know a person unless there's a hype on him or a negative tag and in Igors Rausis's case, he was just some random chess grandmaster that have been famous because of cheating in a chess tournament. Sadly for him, his career in this path have ended in a very not nice way. Although as per data, he's already retired and maybe he has learned already and living somewhere else. Living not anymore related to chess.
The incident happened way back 2019 and probably after being caught you'll be forced to retire or something like that. Yes, for sure he'll go far away where he ain't much known while trying to make a living. |

I've read that Dmitry Bivol is confident that he can upset Canelo Alvarez. On what he can do against Canelo that others couldn’t:
“I’m a different fighter. I’m a light heavyweight, I have good speed, I have good power. Every fighter is different. It means every fight will be different.”
On the keys to beating Canelo:
“To be honest, I just need to do my job, what I do best. It’s a good jab, good movement, and sometimes more pressure, sometimes go back. Everything I can do. If I do it well, I will win. I believe it.”
sourceI have to disagree with the others that Bivol is the underdog in this match. Even odds tell that way, still Canelo is the guest here on Bivol's stage. He's already used on fighting at Light Heavyweight. Upset Canelo? It's better if Canelo will be the one that has to upset Bivol. Canelo is the one challenging him. Bivol is undefeated and just waiting for any challenge. Well, Bivol is already viewed as an underdog here while Canelo is the favorite and that doesn't surprised me anymore because that is already expected to happen and while you're right that Canelo is just a guest in Bivol's division, we cannot also forget that Canelo is already in this division before and beat Sergey Kovalev with a KO in the 11th round. Don't take it hard buddy, we're just both sharing speculation together with the facts  Anyways, we will see who will win soon. |

I'm sure that the news that he is cheating have shocked the other players on the said tournament especially for those who are believing in him or for those who have been defeated by Igors Rausis. Anyway, it seems that it is not the first time he cheated while using a bathroom break, I mean he could've cheated already before he was caught.
Apart from audience - this is a big stain on his career. I am sure he would be repenting so much for what he has done. Fair game is always liked and admired by the audiences. No One would like to have a tag of cheater along with them - even if they are cheating. Have they had focused on the game - he would have done better than focusing on cheating. Being negatively tagged because of cheating do stain your character and career for good and he will be carrying that until the rest of his life along with the embarrassment he did to himself but I doubt that he is repenting that much because I highly doubt that it was the very first time he cheated on that tournament. Maybe he was doubted by others because his moves doesn't match to his recent plays. Unfortunately, once you are tagged as a cheater on chess tournaments, then mostly your career (in online chess) is somehow ruined. Imagine, people reaching the 2000+ rating means that they have at least devoted most of their lives honing their skills. Lots of players, unfortunately, were banned from participating into tournaments because of cheating. I remember, there was a chess GM who frequently visited restroom breaks during his match and it was subsequently discovered that he was hiding his cellphone on his pocket, checking the engine's recommendation on which is the best move to make. Well, if you search chess cheater in the internet then you will be getting a lot of recommendations with the same name "Igors Rausis" and his face is literally everywhere after he caught red handed using a phone and tagged as a disgraced chess grandmaster. I wonder if he's fine with that or is he now depressed after that incident because he can't really take out that tag easily and I bet he won't be living the same again. |

How about that for the Warriors team? It amazed me with how they took over the game even though Klay and Green were sitting on the sidelines.
They played defense and make it to offense at high success rates. Jordan Poole got the hot hands early game while Wiggins made sure it will end with a bang.
Took a peek at the total stats and surprised it was not far of a difference. They just won with rebounds and freethrows. Good game.
They managed to make a big run where they led in the 3rd up to 4th quarter and won the game nicely earlier. The Miami heat was at their worst since they're not following the instruction of their coach especially Jimmy Butler who wanted to make things right by himself but it didn't work last night which result to their loss. They need to get back on track because as they can see when they aren't performing well due to their ego, GSW Curry and Thompson less will easily beat them. I was not surprised if the Warriors are going to win, what surprises me is the run they have to do in order to take the lead and increased it in the 4th quarter. And we have been criticizing Wiggins in his last game, but it seems he get back on track in this games against a tough team with 22 points. Kuminga though played good as well as he is the only one keeping them in the game for the first 2 quarters. Impressive win by the Warriors, the team does not have Thompson and Curry in this game and yet they beat a complete Miami Heat. I can't believe what I saw, it's just like the all star Heat playing the 2nd unit of the Warriors but they could not manage to dominate them. Jordan Poole was very consistent in this game with 30 points, 7-13 from 3 point line, that as insane. They have played well today, I didn't expect that they could deliver a victory against the Miami Heat especially when Thompson and Curry are not playing on the Warriors side. Kuminga and of course Jordan Poole have been in their A-game since Curry was injured and they are continuously stepping up everyday. ...the team does not have Thompson and Curry in this game and yet they beat a complete Miami Heat Nah, the Heat ain't complete this time as Tyler Herro (knee) will sit out Wednesday against Golden State Warriors. |

Yes, you're right about that. GGG should finish this fight first against Murata and go home with of course a win on his side to keep up the hype in the upcoming trilogy and in-order to get the people see that he is still compatible and have a chance against Canelo. Also, almost everyone are watching Canelo and GGG if they can give an upset in their respective fights.
Canelo has a difficult task to finish as he will face an undefeated champion in a weight class that he will fight for the first time. The difference is, Canelo is still on prime difference to the status of GGG that's why Murata is just a fair opponent to him. It will be a good Birthday treat for GGG if he will win the fight. Aside from the win, a ticket for a trilogy with Canelo. But from what I think, regardless if Canelo will win or not, the trilogy with GGG will happen. But if GGG will lose, the trilogy won't happen due to the fact that he won't stand a chance at Canelo if he can't win over Murata. That ticket is more than important for him right now, maybe he is thinking of the Canelo trilogy already, but he knows that he needs to finish Murata first in his home town. Yes, same here, even if anyone of them didn't win, the trilogy could have been sealed already because Canelo has confirmed it already. But it will be imperative if GGG will beat Murata, no more questions about him being prepared for the 3rd fight and no questions on him getting old and no longer at his prime. Exactly, GGG's ticket for the much awaited trilogy is Ryota Murata and I know GGG will gather all the strength he needs just to finish Murata next month so a trilogy will happen as he is been wishing it for years. He also needs to prove that he still can dance very well so that his critics that's saying that he is old already and doubted him will be silenced for good. All that is left to do is beat their present foes. |

^^ But GGG should win against Murata to keep the hype alive on the possibility of a trilogy. If he lost this fight then perhaps fans will likely say that this is going to be a mismatch in favor of Canelo because GGG is old as Murata beat him. So it's better for both of them to win against their opponent, setup one of the biggest fight this year in September.
Definitely, if GGG will lose against Murata then I think there's no need to get excited because the match is not that really interesting to see anymore because we know that Canelo is still in his prime and that will surely mean that he will be declared as the winner in the people's eye even before the fight happened then certainly the hype will end. If GGG loses his fight against Murata, for sure even promoters will not be eyeing for the possible fight against Canelo. Not unless a huge amount of money that will pressure Canelos camp to proceed and deal in fighting GGG, a possible exhibition fight, though, it's also very popular nowadays. If that will take place, there are still fans that will buy that ticket and PPV, no doubt that fans still wanted to see these two fighters inside the ring, fighting. The money is there for Canelo to fight GGG no matter what, but as what I have said previously, boxing is business and they want to hype every fight, specially with this kind of magnitude, a mega-fight between this two although this is already their 3rd fight but the outcome is still not decisively as to who really won the first 2 match because it was narrowing and very close to the eyes of the boxing fans. So there is still a debate up to know and the best thing to settle it is to have this trilogy. But we want GGG to win and put pressure on Canelo and his camp. IMO, this fight should have happened long ago like a few months after their second fight to know which is which is really the winner between them because the situation now is much more different because GGG is much older while Canelo is still dominating the industry and still on his prime. I'm not saying that GGG can't handle Canelo anymore, it is just that they are in different beats nowadays. But at that time, Canelo doesn't want any trilogy with GGG because for him it's a close book at he won the second fight. But GGG didn't give up, move to DAZN, same with Canelo and hoping that one day DAZN will give him another opportunity to fight Canelo. Although it's so much different now as GGG is 40 now and Canelo is a different beast. Still the fight can still excite boxing fans and may what to see that 3rd fight. Yes at that time, Canelo has been vocal that he have won those two fights even if the second match was a draw and that a trilogy is not in his interest anymore so even if GGG kept on calling, he's not giving him that trilogy until this opportunity comes that he have to come and fight Bivol at his division and luckily this time, GGG's call has been answered. The fight now is much different and we could really tell that there's already a difference between these two boxers, so we will see if who will win this time. Either way, I think this is GGG's last fight. |

Warriors really did struggle in that game, and you know the answer, because they miss Curry.
Exactly, they already lost twice in a row, and no curry on both games. The playoffs are approaching, if they keep losing, they might lose the home-court advantage. As of now, they are in the number 3 but it's possible for them to drow below number 4, so they better know that. They definitely need to win more games in order to survive the regular season, few weeks left and I still bet that they can still win some games even without Curry on their side and the good thing is Poole is there stepping up every game unlike Wiggins. Bad news is that their next 6 games is a tough one to deal with, if not then we will see them in the 4th or 5th seed. |

Votes in Poll: 32
Fury win: 29
Whyte win: 3
Draw: 0
Currently under 10% of the votes are for Whyte to win this fight. If he wins it will be a massive upset against Fury who is the odds on favourite to win. There are just 32 votes in the poll, I hope the number increases as we nearer the fight date.
I stand by my earlier views Fury will unify all the heavyweight belts and will make at least one successful defence before he retires as unbeaten champion.
I also expected that most of the people here in the forum are in the side of Tyson Fury rather than Dillian Whyte and just like me, I'm rooting that Tyson Fury will win this fight despite the huge difference in power these two boxers have. Either way, we will see what would be the result in this fight from exactly 1 month from now but I doubt that this the last fight of the Gypsy King, he's just bluffing |
