Regardless of that, he just need to be more careful because he's really prone to it but when he's already inside the court,
Can he keep on being careful on the court, especially with his position? hehe. What he needs to do, which he is already doing since then, is to just continue to improve his overall physical strength and sturdiness. Since he already faced lots of injuries at a young age, that takes a toll on his body in the long run even though he is recovered and fit to play. Seriously nobody could predict their injuries along the way hehe. Anthony Davis won't be as effective if he will starts caring about his situation because his position also dictates its risks which I think almost inevitable. Moreover, Davis's build is not like the other sturdy centers on the league now, he may be look buffed but his build is not that really strong and that is exactly the reason I see why he's getting serious injuries even at a young age. |

We don't know what will be the plan, let Inoue enjoy and celebrate along the way his camp will announce what's will be the next
step, either to continue defending his belts or move up and start chasing new belt/s.
Yeah! that was an amazing victory and in just a short period of time, he was able to unite all bantamweight belts for himself. To finish it with a knockout in round 11, was really a history and a moment to be proud of for the Japanese people. I don't think he will gonna fight anyone so soon after this one because obviously he deserves a long rest after this personal achievement and the boxing association probably will affirm that. It was always nice to watch him win every fight and it will be more fun when he climbs to the upper division and continues to dominate fighters up there. Even though Butler made it to the eleventh round, Inoue won the fight easily. Does Butler ever win a single round in the match up? When Inoue started to use his speed and inflicted his power, Butler became so defensive. Inoue even attempted to simultaneously lower his hands so that Butler could attack but also lower his defense. Japan and Inoue had a fantastic evening. Inoue through an interpreter said that he is now thinking about moving up to super bantamweight. It's predicted to be that way but nobody knew that the fight will reach as far as Round 11, most of the bettors and fans calculated that 6-8 rounds will be enough for Inoue to box Butler and defeat him but the unexpected happened because the latter weathered all those strong punches until the 11th round came and his defense gave him up. Nevertheless, it was a good fight although it will be more interesting if Butler at least gave a few good combinations but he didn't. Congratulations to the 1st undisputed boxer of the Bantamweight division, Naoya Inoue!  |

Yes, it's been in the news lately that Ryan Garcia will have its own tune-up fight before a showdown with Tank Davis.
His opponent is a Filipino slugger named Mercito Gesta which is for me a very lively opponent and dangerous as well but i also do think that a very good tune-up fight for him.
Although Gesta is a very good fighter with a good background I consider this a cherry-picked fight for Garcia because Gesta is not a promising boxer, already old and checking his fights on Youtube I saw some weaknesses in his style he is flatfooted and has lax his defense especially when attacking, these loopholes are the things that's Ryan's going to explore when they meet, I'll pick Ryan to win this fight because obviously, this is a cherry-picked. That point are valid since watching Gesta's past fights seems that he really need to work with this concern else Garcia can easily push him to this level and if Garcia keep converting solid punches, Gesta's chances to be KO is possible, it will be depends now with how both will train and how seriously they will be taking these upcoming fight. Taking the risk for Gesta will be a tough decision even you are a heavy gambler who loves exploring for the underdog. There's always a risk, even if betting on the high favorites, there's still no assurance that you'll win. Thing is, Gesta is also a Warrior and since I believe in upset, I believe Gesta will have a chance of winning this fight. Looking at his record, it's not so impressive but with his huge experience, he sure have something that would give Garcia a real fight. Hopefully Ryan Garcia will take Gesta a serious opponent, so he won't be suprise in case upset would happen. |

Wonder though was will be the numbers in terms of viewership and how much they raised in this fight.
I can't find details in the internet, so probably it was confidential but I'm pretty sure they still make money in that fight though not as big as what Mayweather made in his exhibition fights. Manny has entertained the crowd, he should continue fighting to inspire boxers that there's still life in boxing after retirement. |

Manny though seems to forget that he is on some exhibition because there are moments that he wanted to KO DK Yoo, LOL.
But yes, referee not counting the knock down and pretty much save DK Yoo. But as far as Manny going back to pro? for me he doesn't look even in an exhibition match although this is contested in 160 lbs if I'm not mistaken that's why Manny looks big around the belly, his age is really caught up with him in this sports. The likes of Spence or Crawford will be too much for the aging Legendary boxer so it's better to just stick with exhibition moving forward.
We really missed him fighting like how he used to be but that's just the way it is when athletes get old, no matter how great they were in their prime, they cannot be the same when their body doesn't respond like how it was. a further example is Michael Jordan when he was playing for the Wizards. Manny seems not really used to fighting like this but he was really good when he can control himself and not hurt his opponent to the point they need to rush him to the hospital after taking his aggressive power punch if ever. I'm sure they were brief on the limitations of the fight considering it's just an exhibition fight, the most important is we saw how Manny can still fight and I believe he can still be up with more exhibition fights. For a good purpose, Manny will donate the proceeds of the fight, probably a portion of it but that's enough already on how he will continue to convince himself to still continue to fight. Admit it guys, he will not anymore go back to professional fights because he already found a way to still continue his passion and at the same time make some millions. That is already expected but I'm sure that Manny Pacquiao himself didn't expect that DK Yoo would give his all considering that he got Pacquiao a couple of good jabs which got the legend somehow riled up to give back the pleasure which I'm sure DK Yoo regretted why he did it because what Pacquiao gave is much more stronger than what he did Well, for the sake of entertainment and now they are both happy because they made Millions of dollars, surely. I also, noticed, the venue wasn't that full and it looks like it's just a half full which got me thinking that DK Yoo wasn't that famous because the two of them (with Pacquiao) combined didn't attract that much audience to watch their fight. |

Teofimo Lopez is returning again. I would not write off his adversary. I wish to see Sandor Martin surprise his cocky opponent.
I wasn't informed that Teofimo Lopez will have his fight before this year ends too and under Crawford's fight with David Avanesyan. I took a quick look and there's nothing to expect against his opponent because he is not that good either, the only advantage Martin got is his experience which is not that big because Teo Lopez have already gone such good fights unlike Martin despite the numerous bouts he got in his career. The way I see it, this is Teo's last move before he will face one of the champions if he'll overcome this challenge successfully. It will bring another interesting match if Lopez will manage to finished his opponent with a KO, a hype will be there to bring interesting fight to him, like what you said possible to challenge the belt holder and gives them a tough fight in defending the title, or possible upset since Lopez is also good and he can change the direction of the fight. Too early to conclude, better to wait for his upcoming fight and see if how he will attract fans to support and cheers with him. I guess you're right about that. I was just wondering that he already got a fight with just a few months rest and he's already defending his WBO International belt that he won in competition against Pedro Campa. Anyway, I figured out that he isn't that really ready to face the champions he still need another fight to get him ready against Prograis or Taylor but still a good win, he almost messed it up when he was knocked down in round 2. |

I'm surprised that this game went to OT, I was watching in the 4th quarter but the Sixers already had a good lead, I'm surprised when I come back that the game was already in overtime. Still plenty of time left, but it's still the sixers who are leading in the OT period.
Lakers made a good comeback in the fourth quarter that's why it went into OT. It was wild as we thought that Sixers is going to win already, I mean 9 points down with less than a minute if I'm not mistaken then forcing an OT that could really hurt the Sixers. The Lakers though have a chance to win if only Davis hit both free throws with 3.7 left. But the good thing is that they keep themselves, composed and didn't let that huge comeback by the Lakers hurt the team. Not only Davis, but Reaves could have given the Lakers a one point lead if he just make all 3 FT, unfortunately he hits 2/3. And they still have a good chance this time it was on Davis shoulder, but then again 1/2. In the OT it was not even close, the Lakers scored their only point in OT when the game is already decided. Pat Bev drives for a 2 point and that's it. And this could be one of the greatest comeback though if Lakers win in OT. Embiid played really well for Philadelphia 76ers. He started the game in a really devastating way. And that was very challenging to contain for Lakers. James Harden was at the heart of everything that was happening for Philadelphia 76ers. He had really smooth coordination with both Melton and Embiid. For Lakers, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis actually had good coordination in this game. Actually, Lakers played really well. But they did face some difficulties on the defensive side. I think if Lakers can start defending a bit better, they will be able to bring results in their favor. He did, just think of it, Joel Embiid alone scored 20 points in the 1st quarter while the Lakers have a combined effort of 20 points to end the quarter. That quarter alone meant something that the Lakers should start to reflect on their actions and the 76ers also got a huge help from their young guard, Melton, who got 66.7% from 3-point field. Note, what more if Maxey was there, I guess the Lakers would've been buried more even if they got a good night and WB got a tripe double. |

Kitams? Abot pala hanggang sa panahon ni Wilt Chamberlain ang ginawa ni AD, sa nabasa ko naman ay siya ang puma-pangalawang Lakers na manlalaro na nakakuha ng back-to-back 40+ points since Kobe Bryant's era way back 2003. At matapos ang halos dalawang dekada, ngayon lang ulit ito nangyari.
Speaking of Anthony Davis, nadale yong pusta ko kanina laban sa Cavs. Akala ko na-injured na naman siya dahil 1 point lang ang na-score at 8 minutes lang yong nilalaro nya. Ni-research ko kung ano ang injury nya, buti nalang at wala siyang injury, flu-like symptoms lang kaya siya lumabas sa laro. Nakapagtataka lang kung bakit siya pinayagan na ganon yong sitwasyon nya. After exiting game early in the first quarter of Tuesday’s game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Davis was ruled out due to flu-like symptoms. His status vs. the Raptors is still unknown.
Oo nga eh, tumaya pa naman ako sa larong yan dahil sinabayan ko yang Lakers habang mainit-init pa at winning streak din sila. Eh kaso biglang yan ang nangyari, kinapos tuloy ang pusta ko hehehe. Ang maganda eh walang injury na naganap at simple flu-like symptoms lang, ayos nayun at makapag pahinga din si Davis kahit saglit. May pagkakataon pa silang bumawi at umakyat uli. Bukas, iisang laro lang meron; San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets. Pahinga muna habang wala masyadong mapagpipilian. Yes, pahinga pahinga rin tayo mag pag time hehehe, so bukas ang daming laro kaya ang hirap mamili eh Hornets vs New York, parehas na mahinang team, pero gusto ko ang dehadong Hornets, baka makasilat, ang ganda pa ng odds sa ngayon 2.42. Magic vs Raptors 6.5@2.00 pa ang odds ako sa Magic, hehehe isa na namang dehado, baka maganda rin tapunan ang ML @3.45. Okay yan kabayan. Malay mo masilat ng Magic at Hornets ang kontrang kuponan. Tapunan mo habang maganda pa ang moneyline lalo na sa Magic. Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans ML @ 2.05 .. Sabayan ko muna to silang Zion habang mainit-init pa, livebetting na ako susubok sa ibang laro kabayan kung may mahabol ako. Good luck! Swak ang Magic hehehehe at nanalo pa. Hindi lang lumusot ang Hornets sa New York pero ok pa naman, at least may konting pantaya. Ang daming magagandang laban kanina, dikit lang ang mga score. Bukas loaded ulit, ang daming games at ang hirap pumili heehhe, magandang laban ang Celtics at Warriors sa home court ng GSW. Ako rin, na chambahan ko pa ang NOP moneyline kaso talo ako sa Lakers live bet, sayang din yun! Sadyang maganda lang ang gabi ng Sixers lalo na yung batang De'Anthony Melton. Ang tibay sa downtown, panay tira ng tres. Pero at least naka isa tayo pareho haha. Boston Celtics -2.5 ako kabayan, alam kong hirap talunin ng defending champs sa lupa nila pero alam kong kakayanin ng Celtics lalo na at maliit lang naman ang handicap. Magandang laban ito, parehong team healthy at kompleto. Dagdag ko na rin ang Cavs - 4.5 vs OKC. |

It's too late though for Padilla, but he could be saying the truth here. Usually we have seen this kind of biased judgement by a referee in the Casimero vs Akaho fight.
And there are fights that I have seen that the referee took more than 10 counts to a certain fighter because he has his reasons. In any case, this is history already and Manny didn't cheat in this fight. And history can't really be stop, it's Manny path to be one of the greats of boxing right now.
He was destined to be a legend, so even if the story was true, Manny already proved everything in actions. He won the 8 divisions and that is something that all his fans and all those who are engaged in this sport will remember about him. The story that being told here is just another thing that will be forgotten after some time and it will not be remove the fact that how Manny has become from this sport. Readers and viewers will be engaged for a while, then it will be forgotten since there's nothing about that cheating incident. It wasn't Manny who made it, but the ref and it's their position to decide on how to take the fight. Yes, and Manny Pacquiao's reputation won't be scathed even if this said issue will be revived numerous times in the future. He long proved his skills on the ring and there's no need to execute this kind of nonsense that Manny got helped by that referee because even if that allegations are true, I'm sure that Pacquiao has no idea about it all that he got some help during that fight as it was the people behind who orchestrated that stunt and used the referee as pawn. |

The performance Nets have been showing in the Eastern Conference has been pretty impressive so far. I know that they lost nearly the half of their games but they are still at the fourth position in the standings. Especially their recent form is impressive. Irving and Durant's staying for at least one more season has helped them as well of course.
These stars are still very important for them to be more productive in scoring points. However this performance might still cause them some trouble after the end of the regular season. They need to get as many wins as possible to keep their mental condition high which would prepare them for the playoffs better.
I realized this too... I believe day after day they are improving... It's not something very significant, but it demonstrates they are there and they could be in the playoffs soon. I also believe... Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant have a great job ahead of them. Yes, they are indeed improving in the past couple of weeks especially after Irving's return. Although they still got beaten by the heavy teams, but they are still showing some signs that they will be bouncing back on their next game and let alone Nic Claxton for being a reliable in the center so that Kevin Durant can be more free to chase points and do what he's best at. If these Nets duo will be find their rhythm soon, I bet they will be much harder to defeat. I'm surprised to see them at the 4th seed but when I look at it closely and compared their average on the opposing conference, I found out that they will be surely sitting on 8th seed or even lower than that because the competition in the West is far more intense than the competition in the East. |

I learned that this fight will be contested at 135 lbs. and not a catchweight, which is kind of confusing because Davis and Garcia agreed on a 136 lbs. catchweight fight. Please someone explain to me about this because it got me confused. Did Ryan Garcia predicted that he will be having a hard time on his weight on the later date and not with against Gesta this January?
I guess Garcia just wanted to still try and make the weight around 135 lbs, I mean if he can still make it, then it will be easy for him to just add 1 lbs on it against Davis, this is just my speculation as why he insist on 135 lbs at his fight. Yes he did say in the past that he had a hard time making the 135 lbs. But maybe this is just to show Davis that he can, if he just wanted to. Maybe this is a response to Davis accusing him that he seems to be into something right? Davis didn't say it directly, but if you read between the line, he is alleging that Ryan is huge and could be into something like performance enhancing drugs. So this is a way to shut him up. It will be a gold way for Garcia to prove Davis wrong. 1lb isn't a problem and for sure he'll reach the required weight. Garcia seems to be in the spotlight of his career and facing huge boxers would add a good record for him at the beginning of the year. Some boxers are throwing out rumors and unproven speculations regarding Garcia's strength and Garcia should just have to prove to them that he has the fastest hands among them. Good point, thanks mate! I haven't thought about that. Well, indeed it's a good way to prove Davis that he is not under peds, and that he can go back and forth in 135 lbs. and 140 lbs. if he really wanted to. I honestly don't know where did Gervonta Davis picked that and throw that kind of allegation all of a sudden that is actually baseless, maybe that's what he learned during his years under Mayweather's banner? Just kidding! |

David Benavidez should know that after Caleb Plant, he will have to wait for at least 1-2 year before he can have that chance especially now that Canelo is still on the process of healing his wrist. So, a tune-up fight will likely happen as the first move that Canelo and his camp would take after the healing period before Canelo will take a much heavier boxers like David or Bivol. Who knows who will have the first dance because Bivol's priority is also Artur Beterbiev (if the latter defeats Yarde on the process) It looks like Bivol is ready to adjust and go down in the weight division just to make the rematch come true. So I think right after Canelo recovered, he might be fighting Bivol next. So probably if ever Davide Benavidez wins this upcoming match against Caleb Plant, he needs to wait longer for a Canelo match. He wouldn't be the priority of Canelo in its next fight since negotiation between Bivol and Canelo is still going on and Bivol is ready to take the adjustment so there is a better chance of deal closure. This is what happens when the champion is a superstar. David Benavidez is the interim WBC champion which means he is already the mandatory of Canelo. But corruption is common in boxing especially in the sanctioning bodies WBA and WBC. Now Benavidez is facing another mandatory which doesn't make any sense. If the rules will be straight-forward, Canelo will be stripped of his WBC belt if he won't face the Benavidez-Plant winner next. But I doubt the WBC will strip him. Don Mauricio Sulaiman is salivating for his percentage in the next Canelo fight. Bivol will be eager to drop down in weight and face Canelo because he isn't getting Beterbiev who's facing Yarde next. Biggest money available while a chance to become a 2 division champion and an undisputed in just a single fight. That's the other dark side of this industry, everything has business with the boxers, even the sanctioning bodies are also taking part of the negotiations under the table so that their favorites can maintain their status so that it can produce more milk for them. You certainly got a point, it's expected that the winner of this fight will get to fight the undisputed champion which is Canelo Alvarez. Although, let's already expect what would be the outcome because I don't see that the winner of this fight will have their chance because Canelo wouldn't take any fights if not Bivol. That's how boxing really turns into, politics, corruptions, under the table negotiation. And that's why it's truly good to hear when someone derails their plan, like when Bivol defeated Canelo. Maybe if Canelo win, fight GGG and maybe go for another weight class which is the CW and cherry pick the opponent in which the WBC doesn't have a problem with. They will let Canelo go to the champion directly. But then they don't want to impose Canelo's mandatory and will probably face Bivol again. So we will have to wait for the outcome of this fight and hopefully if Benavidez win they Canelo can't deny David a fight. Fortunately, if that is truly the case, their plan was indeed derailed because they didn't expected that Bivol will be one of their biggest problem as he did pulled an upset to their favorite boxer as they are just underestimating him. Nobody believed that Bivol can truly defend his title successfully, even me I admit, I was skeptical about Bivol as he is not that known. Speaking of CW, Canelo Alvarez would have faced his most embarrassing moment of his career because if he was lost to a natural LHW boxer, then Ilunga Makabu of the CW will easily destroy him and might give him his first poster sleeping on the canvass. And it's funny how Bivol though talk about his upset of Canelo and then derailing all the plans of Eddie Hearn in front of the crowd, that's hilarious and probably Hearn is shock as well with the outcome of the fight. It's really possible that Makabu will destroy Canelo when they supposed to meet up at CW division. Makabu is huge and is a monster and probably Canelo will not dare touch the CW because that's more than he can chew and yes, probably he will sleep on the canvass if a natural CW touches his chin with power. What can they do about it? hehe. Dmitry Bivol have his every right to boast about it because they aren't expecting that he will be the one to derail their plans. I bet they are all viewing and having the same thought that Artur Beterbiev will be their only problem but they forget another Russian boxer who is also a natural in this division. Hence, Canelo Alvarez was defeated for the 2nd time of his career and nobody saw it coming. It's really possible that Makabu will destroy Canelo when they supposed to meet up at CW division. Makabu is huge and is a monster and probably Canelo will not dare touch the CW because that's more than he can chew and yes, probably he will sleep on the canvass if a natural CW touches his chin with power.
It is indeed possible if Canelo and Hearn decided to try the cruiserweight, that was the first option they had and I'm surprised to know at that time when I saw that Canelo will be facing a russian boxer in LHW and not Makabut at CW. Canelo will look definitely look like a novice in that division compared to the natural CW like Makabu, he will be toyed, I have no doubt about that. |

Money is on the line for the Raptors tonight as it's said that Lebron and AD aren't going to play due to their own issues.
AD has an illness while Lebron has got an injury. Well, this is a big advantage for the Raptors but we'll see if the bench players are going to manage a win against them.
I decided to skip that game especially when I hear that even LeBron James won't be around for the Lakers too, haven't gave much expectation to the remaining roster even though I know that Westbrook could explode anytime mainly in this instance that AD and Lebron wasn't around and given that Walker IV and Schroder can somehow balance things up. Well, this goes to show that without their 2 stars, the Lakers will really crumble and would be tanking again. |

I understand, and maybe we just held up our bars up too high and expect that Loma will be so vicious on his return in the ring. Apart from that, I also expect that he will send a strong message to his future opponents that he is back on business, but I guess we haven't had that impression when he fought against Ortiz.
Anyway, I'm inclined to give him a room for improvement because he just got off from the war and maybe this time will be much more different because there will be a title on the line. Looking forward to see that Loma will fight Haney next.
I really don't expect much from Vasiliy Lomachenko that much and even though the fight did not end viciously I really think he doesn't need to do something like that or maybe he is hiding what he can truly do with Ortiz so some opponent will not evade him to fight I really think some boxer will not really play his ace card inside the ring or I may be wrong or he isn't really vicious enough, That might be the case but I don't really think that there is a point for him to hide his strength or power right now as he is looking for more future fights. Hiding his power will give him less opportunities because people won't hype him that much because they will think that Loma's already an old news and there's nothing to expect from him anymore. It will be much better for him to show what he is made of really because that will send a message and people will start calling a fight with the heavy names in the same division as Loma's like Haney or Tank or the nearest belt contender to replace them. Just maybe though, maybe he is not the Loma we've known now. |

If the rules will be straight-forward, Canelo will be stripped of his WBC belt if he won't face the Benavidez-Plant winner next. But I doubt the WBC will strip him. Don Mauricio Sulaiman is salivating for his percentage in the next Canelo fight. Bivol will be eager to drop down in weight and face Canelo because he isn't getting Beterbiev who's facing Yarde next. Biggest money available while a chance to become a 2 division champion and an undisputed in just a single fight. That's the other dark side of this industry, everything has business with the boxers, even the sanctioning bodies are also taking part of the negotiations under the table so that their favorites can maintain their status so that it can produce more milk for them. You certainly got a point, it's expected that the winner of this fight will get to fight the undisputed champion which is Canelo Alvarez. Although, let's already expect what would be the outcome because I don't see that the winner of this fight will have their chance because Canelo wouldn't take any fights if not Bivol. That's how boxing really turns into, politics, corruptions, under the table negotiation. And that's why it's truly good to hear when someone derails their plan, like when Bivol defeated Canelo. Maybe if Canelo win, fight GGG and maybe go for another weight class which is the CW and cherry pick the opponent in which the WBC doesn't have a problem with. They will let Canelo go to the champion directly. But then they don't want to impose Canelo's mandatory and will probably face Bivol again. So we will have to wait for the outcome of this fight and hopefully if Benavidez win they Canelo can't deny David a fight. Fortunately, if that is truly the case, their plan was indeed derailed because they didn't expected that Bivol will be one of their biggest problem as he did pulled an upset to their favorite boxer as they are just underestimating him. Nobody believed that Bivol can truly defend his title successfully, even me I admit, I was skeptical about Bivol as he is not that known. Speaking of CW, Canelo Alvarez would have faced his most embarrassing moment of his career because if he was lost to a natural LHW boxer, then Ilunga Makabu of the CW will easily destroy him and might give him his first poster sleeping on the canvass. |
