That's quite a lot of questions even after Lomachenko's victory vs Jamaine Ortiz, well, I understand you guys because I'm also trying to analyze what is up to Loma. Did we really set the bar too high? Or it's just Lomachenko is already old enough to be the Loma that we've known for years? I honestly don't know as well, I even thought that the questions up our head will be answered right after the fight but I guess that just lead us to a different questions. Maybe the war has taken some toll on him, that is why he is not the same Loma we've known before.


There are many factors that will affect a boxer's performance.  I believe it is one or some of these reasons:


Ring rust - Lomachenco being idle to long can affect his first fight performance after a long vacation
Opponent boxing style - no matter how good or great the boxer is, there is always someone who can counter it regardless if  the opponent is popular or not, undefeated or full of defeats.
Opponent size advantage and reach advantage - it greatly affects how a boxer approaches his opponent, in this case, Jamaine has a 9 cm. reach advantage, which is huge especially when the boxer knows how to use this advantage.  So it is a great feat that Lomachenco won the fight despite his disadvantages.
Mind condition - I agree that the war might take some toll on Loma's mind condition, I think he needs more rest to remove the after-war effect.
Boxer's age -  this might be debatable but I think it is one of the factor too for a boxer for a diminishing great ring performance. (though I think Loma is still in his prime)

I never doubt Loma's training session, his camp is great on doing that.

I hope his fight with Haney will be discussed by both camps so that we can move on Grin

I hope they come to a positive result.  Many fans long await this fight.


I know that there are several factors that might explain Lomachenko's performance against Ortiz last October but we are not really that certain to pinpoint which factor that will explain his recent fight. I'm positive that ring rust might not be a factor because his inactivity is not that long because he just got a fight last December 2021 and then started preparing for his fight versus Ortiz mid August, although, there might be but not likely. I reckon it's his age because he is not that agile enough to give Ortiz some struggles, it's the experience that helped him get through the fight and had a victory.

Just a preview for me that Loma is back his performance is not that much impacting but giving him enough time to prepare, he can excel as he knows how to adjust very well with any types of opponents that he may have, it's just unusual to most fans who expect to see more from Loma after that long absence inside the ring.

The fight against Haney might be different since there's a belt than in stake and Loma will try his best to earn the title and upset Haney.

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.

Lakers have been doing pretty well in their latest games in the regular season. They have got many wins recently and this is keeping them close to the playoff area. If they keep up this form they can surely have a better season than the previous one. There are still so many games to be played as we aren't even in the middle of the season yet.

I just hope to see the team effort getting better in time. It is not good to see them being too dependent Lebron most of the time. Of course he is still a superstar who is showing great performances. But this mustn't mean that the other players should always have an eye on him. This is likely to decrease the quality of their attacks.

Right, last year they started strong if my memory serves me right but then when Lebron got injured, that's where the problem started, series of losses and it's too late to overcome as they fall down on the standings.

And then the WB criticism started which I think really affected him and the team so the losses became desperation for them.

At least for now, they have started to win games this early and should be attempting to break into the playoff berth before the second half of the season.

Yes mate, wonderful memory. Indeed, that's what happened to the Lakers last season as they started to fell down the ladder after Lebron James got injured and leaving them unguided on the court. Westbrook was the center of criticism even if his stats was not that actually bad, it's like he was blamed for every loss that the team experienced but I understand because the fans held a high standard for Westbrook. And also, former Lakers coach, Frank Vogel was not using their advantage which was their size, it's like he is always experimenting every game and only focusing small ball.
2323  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: December 06, 2022, 08:53:07 AM
No Contest result for Casimero but for us, he is the winner if just Akaho will not acted strangely and continue to fight.

It is obvious that Akaho was hurt, it is just a matter of time on that round to putting Akaho on his knee but the referee to the rescue.  Another thing, if that was a true illegal blow, they could have made the ringside physician look at Akaho asap, but it took them several minutes to do so making me think that is indeed one of the plans of the officiating official to save Akaho when a thing like that happens. 

Let's not go in that discussion because if we say that the officiating officials are unfair and they favored Akaho, then we would've also said in general that Japanese officials in boxing organization are unprofessional. We know that they are not like that as they are the most professional people we know as it's on their culture already not to cheat or something like that. Let's just say that Akaho was the one who is unprofessional and scared to add defeats on his record that is why he decided to have that act that give embarrassment to the whole Japanese boxing community. I'd say that they aren't letting that one slide and will investigate about it.
Lets not generalize because thats not how Japanese behavior and traits which we know that they are indeed honest and its impossible that they would really play along on what Akaho been doing.
Ive seen on how many replays that it wasnt really that a solid back head blow or rather it hit up on the neck.The reaction time was too delay which it would really be giving you
suspicious thinking that it is really just pure acting. So this one ends up on no contest? So this ends up on having no match or record at all?
that guy is so fucking clever.

That's what I'm trying to say, let's just put Akaho's fate on the Japanese official's hands because I know they will investigate on it as Akaho brought embarrassment to the whole boxing community of Japan. We all know that they won't support that kind of tricks that will put the nation's name in jeopardy even if the person was one of their own. Nevertheless, we know that Casimero can still do a good job in this division and I hope he will be paired again early next year because the fight he had was a bit shorter than expected.

Quote
So this one ends up on no contest? So this ends up on having no match or record at all?
The match was of course recorded but it is on the expense of Casimero as he was now portrayed to be the bad guy who punched a boxer at the back of his head that leads to a no contest fight.

See it here: https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/421916

Right! Let's just stop from pointing our fingers because we all already know the truth and that Ryo Akaho is the one who deserves to get blamed for the little unprofessional act he pulled in front of the whole public that made the referee confused and declared the fight as a no contest. The crowd wasn't happy about what they saw either as they booed the fighters because that's not what they paid for.

Nakatsamba lang tayo sa Celtics, homecourt kasi at maganda naman pakita nila sa homecourt kaya kinuha ko na. Nakadale rin ako sa Sacramento, hirap pigilan nitong team na to ngayon.

Ano masasabi nyo sa performance ni AD? halimaw, 55 points at 17 boards. Kakaiba nag galawan nya parang may gustong patunayan sa mga ang criticized sa laro ng Lakers. At muka naman nag response tong mga to dahil sunod sunod na ang panalo.

Congrats sa panalo mo brader. Hindi ako nakapusta kahapon pero kung ako ang tataya sa larong yan, sa Celtics pa rin ako kasi mas consistent na yong Celtics kaysa Nets at wala pa si Simmons sa larong yon.

About kay AD, halimaw talaga ngayon yong mga numero nya at tingin ko, ilang laro pa at ganyan pa rin ang ipinakita nya ay mapag-uusapan na sya sa MVP contender this season. May nabasa akong article na siya pa lang ang nakagawa ng "50 points, 15-rebound on a 70 percent shooting since Chamberlain in '69".

Tingin nyo kung mapupunta pa sa Lakers yong Draymond Green, may pag-asa kaya silang makapasok sa Finals kung wala lang injury sina LBJ at AD?

Celtics +1.5 @1.90 vs Raptors

Baka masundan yong panalo nila kahapon  Cool.

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.

Congrats pala kabayan! Nakapitas ka na naman dahil pasok yung Celtics bet mo, hindi lugi kahit wala ang reliable center nila na si Al Horford. Di na ako sumabay dyan kagabi dahil di ko matansya kong bakit underdogs sila laban sa Raptors. Sinilip ko ang rason kung bakit, tanging si Marcus Smart lang naman ang probable bukod kay Williams III at wala ng iba.

2327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 05, 2022, 12:52:11 PM

We might see more wins for them if they will continue playing without any injury.
Most definitely as their performance will not change anymore with the same roster. Why they are already good now because of the right adjustment they made and since they find it working, so there's no need to adjust again.

The season is still early and there are a lot of possibilities
to happen, looking forward to more healthy competition.
No one would hope for an injury as we all like to see a healthy competition, Lakers without Davis is not gonna win in the playoffs, so let's hope that Davis will finish the season healthy.

Ginagamit ko lahat yan pero binoto Binance pero hindi ibig sabihin na super safe ang funds natin sa kanila. Mas safe pa rin kung tayo naghohold ng private keys natin dahil yun ang patunay na hawak natin funds natin at hindi ng isang exchange.

Binance rin binoto ko kasi mas madali lang gamitin at okay naman ang rate dito. I'm talking of p2p transaction kasi yun lang naman ang paraan para maka trade to our bank accounts or GCASH.

Kung usapang friendly lang, Binance at PDAX goods sakin, si coins.ph goods din yan dati para sa akin kaso nga lang binabaan ako ng limit tapos sobrang tagal ko ng ginagamit yan at registered na ako sa kanila kaso wala naman silang konsiderasyon.

Hindi na ako gumagamit ng PDAX dahil sa GCASH, pero try ko rin uli ang PDAX kung mas maganda ba sa coins.ph.

Parang maganda yang tatayaan mo ha, galing sa talo ang Celtics samantalang asa 4 games winning streak naman itong Nets.

Gusto ko yang ganyang mentality kabayan, mukhang veteran kana sa sports betting. hehe... Syempre babawi yang Celtics, maganda sa kanila kasi slight favorite lang, kaya malaking chance na ma cover ang spread kung sakaling manalo sila. Kaya nilang depensahan si Durant, nagawa na nila yan sa playoffs, kaya hindi malabong manalo ang Celtics.

What a disappointing fight..  Nothing more to comment on here but the officials just made the fight looks like a circus.

It is obvious that Casimero is at its peak and Akaho just make some excuses not to continue the fight.  It should have been a TKO since Akaho doesn't want to continue but was deided as a no contest fight. I feel sorry for those who bought the ticket for this fight.

Lol, Akaho should be in Hollywood, he doesn't have the characteristics of a Japanese fighters that i knew where they "never surrender" but this Akaho is a coward. Should have been a TKO win for Casimero because Akaho quits, the referre should have the control on the outcome not the quitting of one fighter.

Nevertheless, a good comeback fight for Casimero as he has still the power that could knockout bigger opponents. Just unfortunate that the officiating and the promoters doesn't do its job very well.

I feel sorry for Casimero because he have to experience this kind of embarrassing fight as his foe, Ryo Akaho, is so unprofessional and chose to act like he was really hurt. If we watched the replay, it wasn't a direct hit and it wasn't an intentional punch. Even Akaho himself reacted late and I reckon that he doesn't even knew that he was punched, not until the referee told Casimero to avoid doing the same thing and then Akaho started his drama.

On the bright side, at least now we know that Casimero can really keep up with the boxers in this division, though it's still premature to say that but I take that as an assurance that he can still fight well in this division. There's no need to have a rematch and prove that Casimero is superior because it was already clear what happened. This my first time to see a Japanese fighter/boxer to behave this way, unprofessional and so embarrassing to the industry.
2332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 03, 2022, 04:03:11 PM

What an intense 4th Quarter battle between the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks.

Starting from around the 6-7 minute mark, every play of both team are crucial and a mistake can cost a turnaround event. It's like every possession is a must. Both teams also show good offense and they are literally exchanging leads. Everyone will be impressed too with how both teams show their good defense, especially those amazing blocks. Damn Giannis. He is really no doubt unstoppable and even defended well, he really nailing those shots at the paint. However, the Lakers were able to maintain their good phase until the final buzzer.

Actually, there's a chance for the Bucks to force an OT after Russel Westbrook missed his last free throw (he will surely be criticized if the Lakers lose that game even though his overall game is good Cheesy) and when Giannis grab the ball on their possession, he should not think twice to attack the paint as he is unstoppable and might draw a foul for a 3-point play. But instead, he passed it to Holiday for a 3-point attempt to tie the game but failed to do so.

I didn't expect that the Lakers would win, I mean Bucks were the heavy favorites in that game and they are hosting the Lakers. It was Davis and Lebron who carried this team but I'm afraid Davis might be prone to injury as he contribute very hard for the win, I can't imagine seeing Davis getting injured again, God forbib.

It was great effort for the whole Lakers squad, especially the big 3. Westbrook had himself a good game too filling the stat sheet with a double-double, and that underrated play down the stretch, where he dive for the ball and forced a turn over against Middleton, that also gave them a comfortable 5 point lead. Not the best defensive effort for the Lakers team as they primarily focused they're defense against Giannis, but they have a good offense too. So surprising to see Lebron and WB without a turnover.


I reckon that this is the first game that I saw that the Lakers big 3 have worked well enough to defeat their opponent and this time it's not that easy because they were up against the 2nd seed in the ECF. It was a very entertaining game especially that intense last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter, both teams are doing everything they can to protect their ground. Lakers Big Three got a double-double and the supporting players were also doing their job to help the team give a win.

Two heavy teams that leads the Eastern Conference lost their game as the Boston Celtics also fell short against the Miami Heat. The same situation with the Western Conference as Nuggets and Suns also lost their respective games.
2333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez on: December 02, 2022, 06:41:19 PM
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.
2334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 02, 2022, 05:29:54 PM
There are rumors roaming around the boxing industry that Lomachenco's boxing style would render Devin Haney's defensive style useless.  I could have put the link to the said rumor but somehow I can't find it anymore.  Either way, I am very interested in whether this rumor is true or not so I hope the negotiation between Devin Haney's camp and Vasily Lomachenco's will have a positive result.

I haven't seen the link as well but I will speculate that it has something to do with Loma's amazing footwork and angles, and if Haney wanted to win then he could come up as the aggressor because he is big and tall and has the reach advantage.

On the other hand, there are boxing analyst who says that Loma's performance against Ortiz is not as we have expect of him.

And that Haney is going to defeat him if he shows that version if the two fight next year.

Both camps will continue to review their opponents fighting strategy, though with what you mentioned, I agree that Loma's last performance is not the same old Loma that we use to know, but on my own opinion, I can say that Loma is a skillfull fighter who can adjust with the way his opponents try to bring the fight, he will observe and will come up with startegy.

We might see the best of him again when facing the title holder, a good matchup that we will expect to happen next year.

I also agree, there are many fans of Loma who was obviously shaken with his performance because maybe the bar has been set very high. Maybe Ortiz is huge for him or Loma is getting old already (as per his crtics).

But he all know how Loma is very skillful, maybe he just had a ring rust or his mind is still with his beloved Ukraine that's why his performance is kinda disappointed.

However, if he is going to fight Haney for all the belts, then that is a extra motivation for him because that's what he really wanted until he lost to Teofimo Lopez.

That's quite a lot of questions even after Lomachenko's victory vs Jamaine Ortiz, well, I understand you guys because I'm also trying to analyze what is up to Loma. Did we really set the bar too high? Or it's just Lomachenko is already old enough to be the Loma that we've known for years? I honestly don't know as well, I even thought that the questions up our head will be answered right after the fight but I guess that just lead us to a different questions.

Maybe the war has took some toll on him, that is why he is not the same Loma we've known before. I hope his fight with Haney will be discussed by both camps so that we can move on Grin
2335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: December 02, 2022, 04:50:21 PM
Actually, I had the same curiosity whether boxers or fighters are allowed to bet on their own fights. I found out that they are entirely allowed and it is legal to bet on themselves, what's not legal is if they will bet against themselves which is quite confusing why would they do that. Also, if they will decide to gamble, they are only allowed to bet the whole outcome and not specifically like by a way of KO or UD. Seems reasonable enough to put these guidelines because they are the only ones who are controlling the fight.

Back to the fight, few days more. For those risky gamblers who wanted juicy profits, this is your chance to bet on Akaho, although his chances are not that great.


True!  Boxers are allowed to bet for themselves but they are only allowed to make a straight bet for themselves meaning they are not allowed to bet whether they can KO or TKO the opponent and the time when they can beat the opponent[1].

Furthermore here are some list of Boxers that bet for themselves

Quote
Shane Mosley

Ahead of his fight against Canelo Alvarez in 2012, Shane Mosley placed a $1 million wager on himself to win despite only earning $600K for the fight. It was quite the gamble, and as we know, it didn’t pay off. Mosley lost by unanimous decision.

Keith Thurman

More recently, welterweight contender Keith Thurman bet on a first- or second-round knockout of retired legend Manny Pacquiao before their 2019 bout. He fell on the wrong side of a split decision. Two years earlier, he bet on himself to knock out Danny Garcia in the first round. He failed to do so, ultimately winning by split decision.

Mikey Garcia

In early August, fellow welterweight Mikey Garcia told reporters that he would bet $2 million on himself to win if he ever got the opportunity to fight Pacquiao. He has long sought this contest. Unfortunately for him, Pacquiao announced his retirement from boxing on September 29 following a unanimous decision loss at the hands of Yordenis Ugas eight days earlier.

Some fighters enjoy better luck with their bets.

Tyson Fury

Prior to his massive title fight against Wladimir Klitschko, current WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury made a £200,000 bet on himself to win. He claimed a unanimous decision victory. In doing so, he not only took home the WBA, WBO, and IBF belts as well as the title of lineal champion, but he also doubled his earnings on the night. That is quite the haul.

Mayweather

While he denies it, Mayweather is rumored to have bet on himself a number of times too. Considering his name recognition and sparkling 50-0-0 record, those wagers would have raked in a ton of dough.

So it is very possible for Akaho to bet for himself  because it is allowed by the sports book, what is not allowed is picking the method or time of victory[1].
Quote
Permitting such wagers would amount to permitting fight manipulation and harm the reputation of both boxing and legal sports betting.

Thanks for providing more information regarding these boxers who bet on their fights, but Mayweather tho, I don't really believe him that he didn't bet on his fights or at least one of his 50 professional fights. He's just keeping his image so shiny when in fact nobody would believe that Grin

It was rumored that he bet on himself on his last professional fight versus McGregor and I somehow believe that the accusations were true because Mayweather could've finished the fight much earlier but he didn't and he just let McGregor do all the actions for the first 5 rounds before Mayweather commenced his plan. Many speculated that he wagered that the fight will last 7-10 rounds because that's really what happened.

Speaking of the Bucks roster, it looks like Khris Middleton will be back in the lineup for them this Friday against the Lakers. It’s been a long time since the Bucks have had their #2 player. It will certainly make them better.

Yes, the Milwaukee Bucks is indeed looking forward to see Khris Middleton again to make his debut this season on their next game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. I remember that the Bucks already listed him to be missing on their first 20 games because of that injury he sustained last playoffs, I bet they could've at least reach ECF if Middleton wasn't injured.

Expect that the Bucks will be much stronger now that Middleton has returned to the scene and Giannis can now move freely again, although, there might be some adjustments to get him in synch but I reckon that won't take long.

Muntikan na hindi ma-cover ng Bucks yong spread pero yong Celtics walang kaba dahil two digits yong kalamangan, pati yong bet ko ca Cavs nanalo rin. Kadalasan yong mga nanalo kahapon ay mga llamado sa tayaan, kabaligtaran na naman sa mga resulta noong nakaraang araw.

Mavs -7.5 @1.80 vs Pistons

Isa lang pala yong laro ngayon kaya wala masyadong mapagpipilian.

Salamat kabayan! Naka chamba lang din at naniguro kaunti na mag bet muna sa mga heavy teams hehe. Di ko na nga pinanood ng live dahil parang di ako sine-swerte pagka ganoon hehe. Talo ang Mavericks kabaya kontra Pistons, umabot pa nga sa overtime pero di na pumayag ang Pistons na makuha ulit ng kabila ang lead. Halos si Wood ang Luka lang ang guamalaw sa kanila habang sa Pistons ay halos double digits ang ambag kada players.

Di na ako tumaya kabayan ng nalaman kong iisang laro lang ang mangyayari ngayong araw, pahinga muna dahil mamaya titingin ako ulit kong anong maganda dahil may 11 games para bukas. Good luck kabayan!

I don't know what to say, both are unique fighters. Both have explosively powerful left hands. Ryan Garcia uses a straight guard, but his left hook is very strong. I'm not sure how durable Davis will be if Ryan Garcia hits, but I think he'll be very hard to catch. I think Davis will make more accurate hits. Apart from the hits, according to my analysis, according to the matches I watched, Davis is a unique fighter who fights more intelligently. I bet Garcia will get a TKO this fight.

Ryan was knockdown by Luke Campbell who is not known as a knockout puncher, it just shows that Ryan has a weak spot and a weak chin, and if Gervonta can connect just one punch then the fight is over, Tank can knock out just anybody with a single punch and we have seen that on many of his fight his match with SantaCruz is very terrifying when Leo was knocked out with one single uppercut, Tank can take a big punch, so its Ryan who will be in trouble when they fought.

Well there if you have the whole tree, for me this indicates that if Gervonta Davis can connect Garcia's chin it is something that can be very bad for him, I really don't blame Garcia because I know that a hit there to anyone throws him off, and Of course, in his case I would take care of myself, I wouldn't look for him to hit me there, always in boxing everyone has a weak point, it's where the kidneys are, a blow near the ribs doubles anyone and if he goes with a lot of power because even more so, just like in the genitals, that is something that cannot control the pain and obviously the strength goes elsewhere, however that is why they are boxers, they have to resist all kinds of attacks.

Gervonta Davis will always look to connect, he is known to have power and so it will be a big test for Ryan to survived in Davis connect to this chin. He was able to get up against Campbell, and I do agree that he is not a knockout artist and so Ryan weathered that storm and win that big test of a fight.

But against a hard and power puncher like Davis, it will be a different fight for him. Actually both will have to readjust because Ryan too has that left hook that can knockout anyone if he touches them. So I guess whoever land that first power punch, will gain the momentum in this fight.

Not just power, Davis also got the speed needed so that his foes won't have an easy way reading his movements to predict his next moves. Davis to me is like a puzzle that nobody yet has yet managed to solve that is why he is really a threat on the lightweight division and for Ryan Garcia, he should be prepared enough to face Davis and not just relying on the skill that he possessed now because Davis will just defeat him easily if improve his weakness as Campbell revealed him.

Dimitry Bivol being tired of Canelo Alvarez's excuses just stated that he is willing to fight him at 168lbs.  So Canelo won't have any excuses that it is not his natural weight division.  This is very interesting in the development of their rematch, I wonder if the match would include the defense of Canelo's current title.  Would be exciting if it would be  Grin.

I don't think Eddie Hearn and Canelo will agree to contest the fight at 168 lbs. or that dumb enough to even consider that idea Grin Dmitry Bivol would loved to visit Canelo in his division where he doesn't have any titles to risk whereas Canelo got everything to lose, and if ever Canelo's camp will agree but with no titles on the line, I wouldn't be surprised that Bivol won't give him any attention because what's there to fight or where's the challenge if there will be no titles on the line. I think it will be unfair for Bivol because he also risked his belt during their first encounter.

This scenario might happen as long as it is not written on their contract that a rematch should only be contested at 175 lbs. where the first fight happened. But this case got me thinking, will Canelo accept the challenge and host the fight on his comfortable division? Regarding that his title will be at risk while Bivol don't have any troubles if he will get defeated because he has nothing to lose at 168 lbs. Not sure if it will be worth for Canelo because I bet he just want to take advantage of that rematch clause to make money.

An abandoned house doesn't give you cash flow, you are also paying taxes. If you think BTC can give you more profit since it seems you have already witnessed how it grew during the past halving then invest. However, I am sure that you are aware of the risk of investing in crypto since it is volatile, there's no guarantee that the same growth in BTC price will happen in the next halving. Just invest and don't expect too much.

Yes, the abandoned house is already a liability and not an asset because the OP also provided that its value hasn't increase in the past few years. In the long run, the OP will lose more money because the tax is not cheap anymore and it's not worth it to hold the property as its value is not that changing as well. Selling it and investing in bitcoin is a much better idea, it might be risky, but bitcoin has proven numerous times already that it's really worth it to invest on it.

If I were the OP, I won't waste any time anymore on keeping the property because it won't give me any income at all especially if the OP doesn't have any capital to invest on the property to renovate it and put it on the website so that people can rent it if they want to, like Airbnb style.
