2241  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 30, 2022, 12:43:08 PM

But I'm wondering though, since the Shakur fight, what will happen if Ancajas can't make the weight again, will the fight go on and Martinez willing to sacrifice with some monetary incentives like Robson did (accepting $50,000, if I'm not mistaken)? Of course, this is different since Ancajas is no longer the champion, but it just makes me wonder this scenario.

You answered your own question, it's different because Ancajas is not a champion, and why would Martinez accept money? for what?

If Ancajas will not make the weight again, that means Martinez will remain as the champion, no sweat for him, but unfortunately they will not make money because no fight is gonna happen.

Martinez would be happy with that, he does not have to fight anymore and he will keep the belt for long. Well, I hope that will not happen as that will not make the fans happy, I mean, no one should be blamed but our expectation is to see an exciting fight, so you the disappointments.

It's not that Martinez is not good, but we think that it was just a fluke win and Jerwin should have won the first fight in there is no problem on his side. (I might be biased here, hehehe).

Actually, it's not a biased comment just because we are supporting Ancajas here.

It should be noted that even though Ancajas is struggling the whole fight because of that overtraining he did just to reach the required weight, he was able to finish the 12-round fight against the much healthier Martinez and the result ended up in the decision.

It's a landslide win for Martinez, not even close, 117-111, 118-111, 118-111. I hope Ancajas will turn that scorecard in favor of him on their rematch. Much better if Ancajas will win via TKO. That would be sweet revenge.

Whatever words we put in it, Ancajas still lost the fight unanimously and was defeated dominantly, the scores says it all. Ancajas didn't really expected that Martinez can throw good heavy punches but the good thing is that the Filipino warrior can withstand all of it especially in that state he's in and still managed to finish a full 12-round fight. Two factors why Ancajas lost from the fight, lack of training because of the sudden replacement and second is he is not in good state where he can give a good fight to Martinez.

Just like what you have said from your first statement, nothing can be put on words because Ancajas lose that first match he did try but Martinez dominated him and even he survive and ends the entire rounds we see how exhausted he is in trying to fight back and defend himself trying not to be KO. Those reason about his loss might be a good basis to enhance now his winning chance, proper trainings and scouting if what fighting strategy did Martinez use to him and anticipate if how he can manage to outrun him and change the dominance and most of it reclaim his title/belt.


What they can do now is to keep a close eye to Ancajas to watch his diet and weight loss regimen so that this time Ancajas will not have the situation he had in their first encounter, that's just his biggest problem because if they can manage to overcome that then we can safely assume that Ancajas will take the belt again. His chances will get bigger and bigger because he is already in a good healthy condition, also, he is not fighting blindly anymore as he is now knowledgeable enough on how Martinez fights.
2243  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October 29 on: September 28, 2022, 04:49:59 PM
Considering the weight division, Shakur is somehow at a disadvantage because he isn't a normal 135 lbs boxer so yeah it is wise to say that it is more difficult for Loma to beat Haney than Shakur.
Yeah, though the weight difference is only 5-8 pounds for each division, but we can look Canelo who're the best on super middleweight but got beaten on light heavyweight division.
I don't really think Haney would rank up very soon since many people will judge him if he's scared to defend his belts against other boxer.

I wonder what the next opponent for Lomachenko after Ortiz, maybe Tank? considering he have WBA belt.

Shakur came from 130 pounds and then declared that he can't shrink his weight anymore so now he's moving 135 pounds, it's still to early to judge Shakur but he should at least test the water first before cracking the boxers in the top. Normally, he should fight through ranks too just like the other boxers.

And just like you said, there's no reason for Haney to climb the next division, he doesn't have some problems in his weight too. It's much better for him to defend his belt for now. And if in-case Haney will indeed climb up, Tank Davis is more suitable to fight Loma.

I'm surprised with Shakur's decision but it is what it is, when the a boxer feels that he cannot maintain the weight anymore, he need to move up to be able to perform at his best. Haney might stay in his division for awhile, but if he decide, that's alright because there's nothing for him to prove anymore.

He already gave us some few signs that he might be going to the next weight class before he declared that he cannot meet the weight needed for his fight against Robson. Personally, he did a good decision because he knew what he needed to do rather than forcing his weight to shrink, he knew that it is much better to have a fresh start in the next division while he is still young.
2244  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 28, 2022, 08:08:57 AM
I have read news that the Celtics players were caught off guard about Ime Udoka's case. Majority of them found the news in twitter like Jayson Tatum and so they are confused.

And then they are talking about how excited they are to come back this new season to do it all over again and duplicate what they have accomplished - go to the finals. But it seems that the players are affected by it and they are taking about the 'process', as they will be coach by Joe Mazzulla.

Well, they have no choice but to accept the reality, no more Udoka this season and probably the succeeding seasons as well, but they have a job to do, it's an unfinish job, they reach the NBA finals, it's time for them to win this time.

But we know it won't be the same anymore because Ime Udoka won't be around guiding the team, it's just too unfortunate for the whole team because they needed their coach now more than ever and they are one of the early favorites to win this upcoming season because of what they achieved recently. Let's see if this new coach can guide the team more than Ime so that their efforts won't be in vain.

for me its still bearish for me . btc is still bearish thats why the market is not goods it still bear. maybe btc will be drop on 10k soon or 8k thats why iam still bearish foe now.

It's true that we are still waiting for bitcoin to determine where it will stop at its lowest point and is currently continuing, and it is feared that this will continue until the end of this year, although this is just speculation. ..

Correct, all of it were just rumors and speculations because there's exactly no way to find out when does the bear market ends and the bull run starts. If only we know when it is, for sure many people will hold unto their coins and there would be nobody selling their assets anymore. Well, all I can say is that we must take advantage of the market while it's still selling at a discounted priced.

Floyd won another exhibition match in Japan,

I have forgotten about that fight, thanks for reminding. Another easy money for Floyd. Google says that Floyd would get 20 millions if he competes and 30 if he wins that fight, and most funny, 1.5 million if he appears on a press conference. Surprisingly, this exhibition fight last more than 1 round.

Damn, 20 - 30 million is a dream money fight for some of the elite boxers that we have right now, Canelo is still the cash cow, but GGG get around that money fighting him. So just imagine those lower weight class champion, I doubt that they can get around how much Floyd is making in exhibition fight in like 6 minutes.

I guess that's just one of the perks that a famous boxer could enjoy in their retirement years, $30 Million is already a guaranteed money because there's almost no way that his foe will defeat him in an exhibition fight especially the fight have took place in the ring where he is the dominant. I'm also curious though if the organizers can really get more than what they gave? $30 Million is already a huge money, a money that a lower weight class champion cannot even earn in a year.
2247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 27, 2022, 03:52:53 PM
Let's say if Boxer A dominated the whole fight and knocked out Boxer B, will the camp and promoter of Boxer B activate a rematch even if they know that there chances is already small?

In that particular situation, I think Boxer B will still activate the rematch clause even if they know the chances are small. There's a preparation for that in the first place. Aside from that, Boxer B and his camp will never ever think that their winning chance is small.

Almost every loser wants a rematch as they want to get their revenge. Even Boxer B will have a small share of the purse split, as stated on the rematch clause, that's still a good contract to consider. And if they won, a big recognition and will open for another good contract in a possible trilogy.

Yes and just like what I stated in my past quote, the Boxer B's camp can still do whatever they think best for their boxer whether they want to activate it or not. Also, health can be an issue if they will pursue a fight that has been proven already as in that specific situation, Boxing A already knocked out Boxer B, so that means there still a high chance that it will be repeated again.

Anyway, this fight is different because Spence and Crawford have a different situation, Crawford might win the 1st fight but he will be at disadvantage if a rematch or trilogy will take longer before it'll happen and that's expected because he is already getting older and in fact, Crawford will turn 35 tomorrow.

2249  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Top mistakes of newbies in crypto on: September 27, 2022, 03:00:08 PM
The biggest mistake I see people make with bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies, and or investing just what so ever is the absolute lack of reading and self education I see. The simple fact of the matter is most people refuse to take the time to actually sit down and educate themselves. I always hear people say they just don’t have the time to sit down and learn but that’s just excuse.

Tbh I don't feel bad when I see those kind of newbies lose money in bitcoin and other crypto. Their idea of cryptocurrencies is it's just going up that it doesn't matter to them whatever price they will buy. People like them are always doomed to fail when diving into different investments.

Most of the newbies are not the researcher type who studies the crypto first before making their move and start to invest some coins that they'd see profitable in the future, most of them have just invested blindly without knowing the coin/project first and it's either they know someone who got rich by specific that coin/project or it's just pure trend that's why along the way they lose money because they didn't understand it.
2250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 27, 2022, 09:51:04 AM
That makes the three of them inside the same team an injury prone namely Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and John Wall. However, if they can maintain their health throughout the whole season, I bet the Clippers will be sweeping teams or will reach the conference finals. There will be some high expectations for the team now because their roster is now stronger than recent season.

And if you guys remember last season, when Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are having their respective recovery periods because of their injuries, the Clippers show they can still win despite the absence of their superstars. They are having a good run without their superstars.

It does mean that the Clippers are having good support from their role players. Hopefully, they will be a fully healthy team this season to increase more the competition in the Western Conference.

Yup and they managed to get their team to participate in the play-in tournament and almost got to play in the playoffs when PG got back but unfortunately, he was again sidelined because of the Covid-19 issues, IIRC. Anyway, now that they are all back with their new additional asset, hopefully everything will be fine this time so that we can see some interesting games in the West because the Clippers already got what it takes to defeat any team, their only challenge is to avoid getting serious injury throughout the whole season.

2252  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BNB or ETH ? on: September 26, 2022, 11:08:24 PM
What's your ultimate choice? Or both?  Smiley
I think our choices are still in both, BNB and ETH. The two are interrelated. If we choose one, of course there is something unattractive on one of the coins. But the Ethereum network has brought success to most projects. Likewise with the BNB or BSC network.
But for the time being I use BNB more often, because swap fees are much cheaper than Ethereum.

I agree, there is exactly no point in choosing between the two said coins if you can always have both BNB and Ethereum in your portfolio, it's just a matter of perspective on how will you use BNB and ETH. Yes, these two coins are different but they have their own reason why they still exist up until this day, but as of now, we know that Binance is quite famous because they are much cheaper just like you said and their platform is user friendly while Ethereum is slightly avoided because their gas fees are quite expensive but when it comes to hodling, both of them can be profitable in the future.
2253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 26, 2022, 10:46:26 PM
The promoter won't possibly let Crawford or Spence to activate that rematch if the outcome of their first fight is a knockout or TKO, if that will happen, the defeated boxer won't have a choice but to move-on on the situation because a rematch won't give much difference as the first fight is already clear enough to know who's more dominant.

Not truly aware of that but as far as my knowledge about boxing agreements is concerned, that doesn't count as one of the reasons why a rematch won't happen. Regardless if the fight was finished and ended in a TKO, the purpose of the rematch is simply, to have a rematch.

If Boxer A is dominant in the first match, it doesn't mean that Boxer B won't stand a chance to get his revenge in the rematch. There's always a chance for turning the table in favor of the loser in the first match.

That's what a rematch is all about no matter how dominant the winner of the first match is.

Let's say if Boxer A dominated the whole fight and knocked out Boxer B, will the camp and promoter of Boxer B activate a rematch even if they know that there chances is already small? Also, a rematch won't be marketable just like the first encounter because people already knows who win and there's no need to go for such depth because Boxer A already proved that he is more dominant and stronger than Boxer B.

Nevertheless, you have a point that the camp can still choose to do so if they wanted it even if the fight won't be getting that much revenue again, the thing is they still want to try and settle the score. And if by chance Boxer B won the rematch, then a huge revenue can be expected if a trilogy will happen.
2254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 26, 2022, 10:16:20 PM
I get that Ancajas chance is only 50%-60% because Martinez is also aggressive and knows his way how to control the fight, the main disadvantage of Ancajas that time is he is not on his 100% because of his situation and that made him so fatigue, and Martinez took advantage of it. That situation could be avoided but I think his camp didn't know what to do that's why it's good for him that he have his own nutritionist now. He only needed to meet the weight needed because after that I know he can defeat Martinez, dominantly.

On the betting side, I think Ancajas will be the underdog this time, so if that is the case then that will be an advantage for us.

If Ancajas meet the weight requirement without any problem, I can say his chance of winning is around 70% and up.  He is able to absorb Martinez punches, he has know Martinez fighting style and there are lots of available strategies to counter Martinez and they are not that difficult to implement.
If Ancajas is in full condition, I would think that he has more chance of beating Martinez than the other way around. 

Right! That's the thing that he need to overcome first because he can't have this upcoming fight if he can't shrink his weight to make the required weight, and if he won't have some problems about that then there's indeed a high chance that the outcome will be much different this time because he now knows what could Martinez give him in the fight and how strong he is. He can do it, he's still at his prime and this is not his first time going for a belt that was once his.
2255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 26, 2022, 09:47:15 PM
I am also excited for Kawhi, he did not play the whole season last season. And with the Clippers now have John Wall, I am excited to see the new dynamics in that team.

John Wall also didn't play the whole 2021-22 for the Houston Rockets. His excitement to return must now be at its peak and expect him to slowly return to his usual form, not the same during his prime but a good role player where is known to.

However, we all know that John Wall is now an injury-prone player that started in 2017. He only played 113 games within the last 5 seasons. I hope this season, he can play all of their entire games and if fortunate, can play again in the playoffs.

That makes the three of them inside the same team an injury prone namely Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and John Wall. However, if they can maintain their health throughout the whole season, I bet the Clippers will be sweeping teams or will reach the conference finals. There will be some high expectations for the team now because their roster is now stronger than recent season.

You can not be in the light in which bitcoin has brought you to and allow your children to suffer because you failed to teach them the secret behind your wealth.
You need time to do that.

I'd not recommend to just teach about Bitcoin in general when they need proper educations in school. Once they are aware about that stuff and already have mature mindset then I'd personally teach them slowly to inherit the Bitcoin knowledge in the future. Just imagine if they are still kids and you burden your kids head with something that is not yet to teach it. That'd be chaos.

Let your kids know that bitcoin is the surest way to financial freedom, teach them now that bitcoin is of more value than fiat currency, educate them about the importance of bitcoin to mankind, let them know that bitcoin has changed the economy of countries who saw the light in it and adopted it as a means of doing transactions.\
Just briefly teach them, sure!
But for more in-depth technology behind it or in extreme case with investment stuff, then you don't need to do that yet.

Yes, time will come that they will get curious to know with bitcoin, how it works, and other stuff like that. There is almost no way that they wouldn't hear or know about it because their generation is different in our timeline because bitcoin is not that known yet in our time, while in their timeline, cryptocurrency will be much more known and there's a high chance that it will be studied in schools.

In any possible way, it's also better if we start to introduce crypto and teach them slowly in their teenage years.
2257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October 29 on: September 25, 2022, 08:03:56 PM

Really? Didn't heard that Loma was actually making some excuse on why he lost that fight, I respect Loma because of what he is and he is viewed as big brother in lightweight division but he should know to give credits too because Lopez did good from that fight. He may have injury that time or not, Lopez still won the fight and that can't be changed no matter what the excuse is.

Indeed, the impact will remain the same. He wins that fight and the memories will be there. No need for any excuses, they are just all pro and continue to move forward and chase for another opportunities in proving their skills and become a champion again. There's always room for improvement and with proper trainings and good promoters, this fighter's name will continue to be hype.

Especially Loma, after this fight if he will win, which most expect him to do that.

He will have more money fights to come, and who knows a challenge with the belt holder will be the next target of his camp.

Yup, Teofimo Lopez deserved to get credits from that fight because defeating a Lomachenko is a great feat to attain that almost all boxers up until now struggled to do so. We expected that Loma will overcome that said fight but Lopez did a good job and we can see that Loma is quite far from Lopez's scorecards.

On this fight, Loma have the higher hand and I expect that this will be just like a tune-up fight for him to fight for an undisputed title next. No one else left because there's only boxer who holds all four titles.
2258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 25, 2022, 06:54:45 PM
The way PBC is treating Crawford, I don't they will be able to sign him if he beats Spence except for a 1 or 2 fights deal that would guarantee a title shot against undisputed super middleweight champion Jermell Charlo. After that, I think he is headed to DAZN.

As a knowledgeable in boxing, do you think that regardless of who will win on this match between Spence and Crawford, they will face Jermell Charlo next at the super middleweight?

Or a rematch is bound to happen first?

I really like that this fight between Spence and Crawford should happen now to now end the issues of who's the best in the Welterweight and finally will move on to their next plan.

There is a high chance that a rematch is bound to happen first regardless of the result, I don't think that Spence or Crawford will just move-on without having a second bout to try and settle their scores. Also, a rematch clause was stated and that's expected as this is an undisputed fight and a measurement on who's really the best boxer in the welterweight division.

An immediate rematch clause regardless of the result? What if Crawford knocks out Spence in round 1 or if Spence knocks out Crawford also in round 1? Does this not make the rematch not very marketable for the promoters and also not very tempting to watch for the fans? I reckon there must be a clause within the rematch clause hehe.

Also, Bob Arum said that Crawford will beat Spence. But how can we trust Arum when he was hurt by Crawford when he left Top Rank for free agency.



“I really believe Terence is the better fighter and will beat Spence when they fight, although I expect it’ll be a tremendous fight. That remains to be seen,” said Arum when asked if Spence – Crawford will be on the level of the 1980s fight between Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns.

Source https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/09/bob-arum-picks-terence-crawford-to-defeats-errol-spence-jr/

Yes, you're right. I won't be marketable for the organizers and promoters if Spence or Crawford will get knocked out especially in the 1st round of the fight, anyway, they haven't released some details regarding that clause within the rematch clause. What we know is that the defeated boxer could chose to activate that clause or not, and we know it won't be activated if that defeated boxer was lost dominantly by a way of KO/TKO. I bet the promoter won't let the boxer do that because it's already nonsense.

I also believe that Bud Crawford have the higher hand in this fight, the man is fearless and could break mountains if he has to. While Spence here is clearly trying to drag the schedule because he knows that Crawford won't be the same as time goes by.

The promoter won't possibly let Crawford or Spence to activate that rematch if the outcome of their first fight is a knockout or TKO, if that will happen, the defeated boxer won't have a choice but to move-on on the situation because a rematch won't give much difference as the first fight is already clear enough to know who's more dominant. By the way, I agree with your statement about Crawford and my money goes for Crawford as well.
2259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 25, 2022, 06:29:53 PM
I think it was a franchise rule that he broke. And I think it is normal that they would suspend him since he is married and still had a consensual relationship with female staff. Other organizations would do that as well to avoid scandal.

I don't think it's a normal situation.  These types of affairs get swept under the rug all the time.  You hear about Steve Nash learning about his wife's cheating when their baby was born black?  How about Delonte West supposedly having sex with LeBron's mother to get back at him for mouthing off in practice?  I could go on and on...  Tony Parker, Nick Young, Matt Barnes, etc...  There have been lots of incidents that were never acknowledged by teams or led to suspensions (although Delonte West got blackballed). 

This is clearly a situation with some extraordinary circumstances.  Every sports journalist is out there trying to figure this out to report on it.  I'm sure we'll hear something soon.

Wow! I did not even knew those issues until you said it, I was shocked reading this especially Steve Nash that he only found out that his wife is cheating because the baby turned out black after the labor. That was very unexpected and I cannot imagine how Steve Nash felt when he found that out because obviously he took extensive care for his pregnant wife for 9mos without knowing that it wasn't his.

Anyway, I think you just misunderstood what @jakelyson is trying to say, he didn't said that the situation is normal. What he said was that it's normal (and I think that's expected) that the team would suspend Ime Udoka because of that action as it would really reflect the team's image.

As expected Shakur dominate the whole fight for a unanimous decision win
SCORES: 117-109, 117-109, 118-108 for Shakur Stevenson, Shakur is ready to move up in the lightweight division but I doubt he will have the same success as he did in this division, Haney, Garcia, and Loma are just too good, and he cannot match up the power and speed of these three, but anyway congratulation to Shakur.

He schooled Robson like he is an amateur hehe but that was expected but it's just interesting to see if he had the same performance had he decided to shred that excess 1.6 pounds because for sure it will have an effect on his performance.

Almost bet for Shakur by decision @1.6 (boosted) but my mind changed when he did not made the scale as i thought he would knockout Robson since he would be bigger by fight time but i'm wrong, playing safe all the time.

I'm not so sure if he could survive the like of Loma or Davis if he fight them right away, i think he needs few more tune up fights in the LW division before facing either champion.

Nevertheless congrats to Shakur for the win in front of his hometown.

Shakur made a good move on forfeiting the fight because he knows himself that he cannot shrink that 1.6 pounds in mere 2 hours before the official weigh-in, it could be a walk in the park for Shakur if he had made the required weight. The difference of their power is so evident, Robson doesn't stand a chance against Shakur and that's for real. Nevertheless, it was a good run and now it's time for him to take his power in lightweight division.


As I have previously, it was a good decision on their side, nothing to regrets as he if shrink himself that 1.6 lbs, it can do damage to him. And it was evident that in the power department, Shakur has the advantage and that body shot really slow down Robson in the fight. Although he says that he will pull a surprised, there's nothing spectacular about him. Top tier boxers, he had difficulty, but probably he can beat the rest of the fighters in this division but might fall short of the champion. Anyhow, let's see how the eliminator will be for both belts. I'm seeing Robson figuring out in one of those fights.

Right, his body already giving him signs that it's time for him to move to the next weight class because he will suffer if he continues to reducing his weights just to meet the requirement even if that is not his comfort weight anymore. Well, that's one down for Robson and surely he will be fighting for that vacant title.
