I don't think that's a maybe because it is somehow clear that this is a cherry-picked fight because if not then they should have accepted the order that Garcia should fight Isaac Cruz they didn't.
They personally picked Fortuna not because they know that Garcia could have an easy win but because his camp wants Garcia to be pushed to his limits against a much more experienced boxer with not so much KO capabilities. I'm not underestimating Fortuna but Garcia can really defeat him, although I know it would end by a decision again.

I guess they were not that confident enough because they quite know that this is the finals, they just didn't expect that the Celtics would chase them down and make a serious clutch in the 4th quarter which they haven't also scored for almost 5 minutes while the Celtics were busy shooting deep threes outside. Celtics will really eat them and dominate them if they won't make some true changes in Game 2.

That also depends on which games we are gambling on because there are certain games that don't require skills, a simple and basic knowledge about the game would already suffice. However, if we are talking about those games that needed analysis then skills are a must because that could really enhance your chances of winning.

Too early for the Warriors to feel pressure, that was just the 1st game of the series and the Celtics needed 3 more wins so they still have a chance. They should focus on their mistakes and what they lack in the previous game so that they will play prepared this time rather than being overwhelmed again. Now that they know what's the capabilities of the Celtics, they should step their game more because if not, surely a sweep will possible.

Yes! Being active socially with some friends or family will indeed help these gambling to do much better from just being an addict, sooner or later they will start to realize things. Maybe one of those little get together or picnics outside the city can be his/her wake-up call. For sure it would take some time to be back into normal and with added help from the family might do the trick.

The Romero-Davis fight wasn't that interesting to me too, we know the latter cherry-picked the fight, and Romero accepted the fight because Mayweather wants to defeat Davis as this is his last fight before he leaves under Mayweather's promotion. We already knew what would happen because Romero is really too early facing the Tank.

As for this fight, these two boxers are good and they have the same chance of winning. The thing that got me interested is because they have unique abilities.

You should because we can't do anything from it tho, besides, that's just a game 1 and the Celtics needed three more wins to completely defeat the Warriors and be the championship team this season. Just be optimistic because the Warriors definitely don't want to be destroyed again in the next game at their own home.

Marcus Smart cannot really handle Curry on his own, he won't get anything if he will guard and chase Curry all the time because we quite knew that Curry can't be guarded that easily even if there's a time that Smart has successfully limited Curry's play. The Finals will be different play compared to the regular games.

But in the 4th quarter, Al Horford exploded and they had a 17-0 run leaving the Warriors stunned with no points made for almost 5 minutes in the same quarter. While the remaining roster made the play even better that's why they managed to steal 1 game. The Warriors better wake up the next game because they cannot really afford to lose a game again in their homecourt for two consecutive games.

He thinks that he can redeem himself again after that defeat he got against Bivol in this fight. Sure, GGG is have gone older now compared to their last fight in 2018 and he has the advantage as Canelo is much more comfortable in this fight as this is his comfort weight class but GGG can still give a fight and maybe even defeat him.
I doubt defeating GGG once again in this trilogy won't hype his name because this match is not that interesting to see anymore because of their gap and it was already 4 years since their last clash.

I certainly agree, there are many factors that a certain person will commit a robbery and one of those factors can be narrowed down to gambling addiction. Being addicted to gambling is not an easy problem because you would really have a hard time weighing some things and it will disable your senses to tell which one is right or wrong anymore because all you wanted is to gamble. For me, I know it's easy to tell these things because we are not in their shoes but it's just a matter of right perspective in the first place and having a boundary will always suffice.

That is just fine because we have our own predictions and there will be these people who will always oppose your pick. As for me, I believe that the Warriors will win because no matter what angle I see, the Warriors still have the advantage. Especially now that they have rested well and they have more key players than the Celtics could bring. But, I bet it's Warriors in 6 or 7 because if we say 5, we're already underestimating the Celtics that much.

Indeed! What you've said was not really far from reality, in-fact when we speak of chances and odds, the Golden State Warriors surely have those in their favor, and not just that, they also have the advantage in terms of experience in the playoffs. The Boston Celtics seem fit to do the job against the Warriors but I seriously think that they're not enough to beat the whole roster. They will win from game to game in the series of course but it is still the Warriors who will claim the championship.

I believe Game 1 and Game 7 will be in their possession.

Whether it is illegal or legal the risks entailed with it don't change for even a bit, gambling is always a risky activity in any part of the world and people already know the consequences if ever they fell into that trap but we couldn't blame them because they just want to earn money even the chances are not good.

As for your country @Cryptock, that's good because the government is putting so much effort to ban these activities because surely they don't want their own citizens to be addicted because of it and worse take their own life if they lose big or because of the debts.

Yes, that's exactly he said in that specific interview. Well, just let the man have his chance because he quite know what battle he is in now and possibly get a revenge on his defeat on their first encounter. None of us here can truly answer who will win, what we have are just mere speculations according to his chances. IMHO, a slim chance is a better chance than none.

I'm also rooting for GGG's success in this fight, though I'm a fan both Canelo and GGG but I would rather see the latter to win in this fight because just like your reasons, this might be GGG's last fight. I would love to see him getting a win if ever he decides to hang up his gloves, the man has been a legendary to this industry and known for his hard chin. Though I'm not the one to decide but Canelo should let GGG to win in this trilogy because neither a win or lose on Canelo's side would hype or ruin his name as this fight is already an exhibition fight to me and not a professional fight.

That's the truth, we might don't know because we're not in their shoes but these are true. Being addicted in a gambling was never a good situation because they would start stealing and selling some things just to feed their minds to gamble again.

Well, if these addicts has recovered then of course their own families will gave them a 2nd chance, but the mind of their family and the people who surround them was already programmed to take some preventive measures before they regret it again because they cannot honestly forget the mistakes in the past. Better be safe than sorry.

That is indeed correct but if they were to change a conference, I reckon the Warriors would also have some hard time defeating the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat just like in the regular season. Especially if both Bucks and Heat are healthy, surely the Warriors would have some bad nights either at home or at road. But that wouldn't happen because the Warriors belongs to the West and the Celtics belongs to the East, they have to deal their each cards.

Of course, regrets do come in last but even if they do know about that fact they still chose to go deaf and blind just to follow their addiction and gamble. In times of their biggest challenge, that's the time that they will realize that they've gone too far already and they have also affected the people surrounding them. Worse is that they're already too late to turn away from that mistakes they did.

Sadly but that's the truth for Casimero for now, he may be a champion but on his status, getting a fight against Inoue or Donaire becomes more slimmer as time goes by. He almost had a chance when he got a 2nd chance with Butler but Casimero and his team blew it off.

Back to Inoue and Donaire, I don't have issues on how prepared is the latter. In fact, I believe that he's more than ready for this rematch now. But the real question is, can he defeat Inoue? Both of them have improved but can Donaire's body manage the catastrophe that the monster of Japan could bring.

I disagree, this fight is not one of those anticipated fights anymore but on GGG's perspective, this is his most awaited fight. It's already been a long year since he was granted by this fight, his chances on wining this fight is not that high anymore though he is still capable but we cannot ignore the fact that Canelo is still on his prime even though he was defeated recently by Bivol.
