It looks like Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are indeed talking behind the scenes to make the rematch into a reality because it was already reported that the two is nearing to close the deal and it says that the fight will be contested at 155 pounds, currently, the two are just finishing some details including the terms.

If that will happen, their rematch will likely happen somewhere in the 1st quarter of 2023 because Floyd Mayweather have 1 more exhibition fight this year versus Deji (another YouTube star) at the Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai.

We could say that this is a two rematch because they are planning two fights across two sports.

Mayweather vs McGregor rematch is close: One boxing and one MMA fight for 1.5bn dollars
Could finally meet again in the Middle East
https://www.marca.com/en/boxing/2022/10/08/634163bd46163fdb7d8b45db.html

As long as they are Youtuber's MMA fighters Floyd Mayweather will surely fight, them, for me Deji is no match against Floyd Mayweather but Conor McGregor has a fighting chance because he is a fighter and he also fought Mayweather inside the ring, so he has experience in fighting him, but a huge likely that Floyd Mayweather will surely fight both these fighters,


Those were tragic, well, all of the deaths while having a fight are tragic. It's too sad that they have to go too soon and it's going to be a match. I guess you've also heard this news about a young boxer in our country that suddenly died after a sparring match.
(https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/boxing/844239/18-year-old-boxer-dies-after-losing-consciousness-while-sparring/story/)

It was tragic because it can not be prevented if it is an arms or leg injury it is not fatal, but most of them are fatal would to the Brain maybe it was Intracranial Bleeding to the head that cause this boxer to pass away, and sometimes become comatose for MMA most injuries was on the arms, and legs and not fatal but for Boxing for the head to sustain that severe continues blow could surely cause internal bleeding,

That Professional boxer was Axiel Van Dignos an 18 years old, and I surely heard of that news, but because I thought that he was just an amateur I haven't added him to the list of boxers, but in hearing this news again, I was shocked that he is really a professional and only 18 years old, and his death will be just because of a sparring match, and it was an Intracranial Bleeding and due to repeated blows to the head, I am quoting this word because I assumed this is the cause of all the deaths in boxing, and no one can tell if this would likely occur to all boxers or just an unlucky few,

The attack Green did is unacceptable, the fact that we are still talking about how it should have stayed within the team is showing that NBA is still not finding the right mental health situation. Now you are expecting Jordan Poole to figure out a way to accept Green as who he is, sure Green will "apologize" if he is asked, if I know him, he won't be even doing that unless he got some stern warning and a punishment that is more severe than what he would normally get, and then he would do so but Poole would know he doesn't mean it. And he has to accept him as his teammate and move on.

I believe violence has no place in NBA, and players should be punished like whole season worths, or at least a serious amount of money, like 10-20 million, to make sure that nobody would ever try to do something like this ever again.

Well it is really unprofessional to do it and while doing practice Green should be the better man here and just let the heated argument stay backstage where there are no cameras and just the two of them, but he let his emotions get to him, if that Punch would cost injury to Jordan Poole then that could be a big problem to the team, But we can not put all the blame in Draymond Green aswell because there are two sides to the coin and we don't know why Draymond Green has led in punching Poole that hard, although it is all said and done, it is for the both of them to say their sincere apologies, now that the regular season is close by,


Well, talking about Kai, I believe, this is time... taking one step at a time he gets better and better...

I also believe he still needs to improve some of his attributes, but I also have no doubts that he could be in the NBA soon, he is tall, young and has a great future ahead of him!
Gaining more experience, improving his footwork, shooting and gaining muscle mass could make a difference if he participates in the draft again

Well for me what I have seen and observed about Kai Sotto he surely got his offense and back it up with his height he surely got it all, well his footwork will eventually improve and I think he needs experience with that, but 1 thing is for sure on the exhibition game against the Oklahoma Thunders he has exposed even though he just played 8:39 minutes inside the court I really think he needs to improve his defense I think he lacks defense the NBA wants a guy who can do both offense and defense that good if he is struggling in making big with his offense defense is the key,

While I'm not a massive fan of Jones as a person, at least what we've seen, and heard of him ever since he kind of unofficially retired. He is one of the best mixed martial artists to have graced the UFC.
I don't think anyone likes Jon Jones as a person, even himself and his family, but he was a fantastic mma fighter.
I am saying he was because we didn't see him doing any real fighting in more than two years, not counting beating up his wife.
With all this added weight and muscles I think we are going to see completely different Jones in octagon, but Ngannou would smashed him if he was his first heavyweight opponent Grin


After that incident with him regarding the Domestic Violence, he commit with his wife even though he evaded that case somehow because his wife didn't continue to file a case against him, it is still a bad image for him even though his wife has turned down the case, but what can we say a bad image is really something that fans don't like about someone, but I never am a Jon Jones fan I never liked him, nor neither did I hated him, it just manifests in what I want to say about him,

And yes exactly the weight difference for Jon Jones might be pretty much different for him when he fights and I don't think he will be pitted against Francis Ngannoue he will be completely annihilated by him for me the best match for him will be Sergei Pavlovich or Tom Aspinall just to see what he got entering the Heavyweight division,

@notblox1. Also, chicken legs had the worst of his performances in the octagon versus Thiago Santos and Dominic Reyes. The last 2 of his fights. I also speculate that chicken legs might be bankrupt and he is only waiting to collect his last paycheck. This might be why he is waiting for Francis Ngannou because it will pay him his biggest paycheck.

The fight will also work for the UFC because if Ngannou will win, the next storyline is Ngannou will be the next pound for pound goat. If Ngannou is hyped to be the pound for pound goat, he will sell more tickets and he will be paid more money my uncle Dana hehe. The fans will also be happy to watch hehehehe.

Yeah! Chicken Legs, I can hear the music Chicken Attack right now, great entrance music for him, but yeah I could say Francis Ngannoue is a goat for me whether he fights Jon Jones or not, I think of him as a Goat and I am really blinded because I am a fan of Cyril Gane and that never change but because he beat Gane with that leg injury I surely salute him and deserve to be the GOAT,

Sheshh, my bad. Somehow I mixed up the names, but both of them are under Khabib and same style of fighting. Thanks, and I'm sorry.

I agree with you that Islam Makhachev won't fight like trying to get this on the judge's scorecard. He's going to finish the fight and take matters into his own hands. It's pretty obvious how powerful he is. His ground game is not the sexiest. But still, his ground game is good. But that is not going to cut it against Charles Oliveira. So I agree that he is most likely to try to trade standing up. It is obvious that Charles Oliveira is going to have to take some punches in this fight. What a strong chin Charles Oliveira has!

I don't think this is going to be anything like Khabib vs Tony. Simply because I don't feel particularly amused to say it but Khabib is far better compared to Islam Makhachev.

Don't worry I also did mix up some Russian fighters that I don't really know or the first time I am seeing their names, but you will get used to it,

I don't think it will become like Khabib and Tony especially if this match continues, but apparently, Islam Makhachev is pretty much well versed with his ground game, while Oliveira is now training his ass on wrestling maybe enhancing his ground defense or takedown defense, but apparently knowing Islam Makhachev he got this under control, and Khabib is on his side for sure,


The event will not be on til next week...  :/  Yeah I know it sucks. 

I feel like there's more than a couple of underdogs that could win in this event.  Prolly 5 of them.  I'm not sure what the exact odds are but I think Araujo, Royval, Davis, Malkoun and Sam Hughes are live dogs.  And there are a couple more match ups with sketchy favorites too. 

I think I have seen the schedule wrong, or they have to change the event instead of this week it will be the other week, but at least I got my picks and prediction for the fight without any hesitation,  well, Underdogs for this event maybe I anticipated such high hopes in getting into underdog's \

 But again I am pretty much excited when the fight is near but I haven't seen the real schedule of the fight,
2405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 08, 2022, 05:39:20 PM

Currently, Kai Sotto's skills aren't enough to take him to the NBA and that may be the reason why he haven't got drafted recently. He got the height and advantage compared to the other players who are seeking NBA but he need to do more so that he will rise above others. Kai is now groomed up and his teammates even help him achieve his dreams. But Victor is different, teams in the league are already drooling to get him. Let's see who will be the lucky team soon.

Apparently, Kai Sotto is not really rushing he said that he will pursue his dreams even more, and will not get carried away with an easy option of getting into the NBA, but for me apparently, his offense is NBA-ready in terms of his height and movability, but of his defense, I think he has lapses that need to be fixed, his height is one of the advantages that he has, but his defense is still lacking I think he is ready in terms of offense but there is a big no for his defense, it is just one of the lapses I have seen in Kai Sotto,

It really does not look good for Draymond Green at the moment. It's no secret that he's a hothead. As well as that, he had anger issues in the past. The act of punching a teammate in the middle of a practice session, however, is simply unacceptable. Poole's jaw was literally flashed by the punch. It felt as if he was knocked out almost instantly after being hit. This kind of behavior really needs to be punished seriously in my opinion. People are always going to have differences. However, this does not mean you can punch someone in the face just because you want to.



That was a hard-slamming punch I hope Jordan Poole is OK, but after that Green did not go to practice, with the team, and on Thursday he eventually say sorry to Poole, but it is hard to believe that Draymond Green will do such a thing, but I think this will surely come with a crack on their friendship but I really don't want the Warriors fighting like this, because this could lead in getting some negative vide inside the team,



Upon posting this Preseason games are in commencement,  well not really the output for the team wins so far because this is the preseason,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Miami Heat SCORE 108 - 111
Dallas Mavericks VS Orlando Magic SCORE 105 - 110

Great find on the video a totally needed information because we have a topic about certain issues with women working in companies and nobody likes to hire them and I think this good example of what may happen when they are pregnant and the solution to this, is 9 months plus 1 rest for the mother, that is pretty much good topic indeed,
Yeah, and not just that.
Recently a WNBA player died because of breast cancer. Here is the full article about the news.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/wnba-former-texas-longhorns-star-tiffany-jackson-dies-37-rcna50684
Quote
WNBA and former Texas Longhorns star Tiffany Jackson dies at 37
Former Los Angles Sparks player but her better days was with New York Liberty. Led the league at games played and 4th in the rebounding category.
Breast cancer is mostly found in women and this is another sad day for the women's sports industry. She's still young at 37 years of age.

This is another cause why women are not into contract sports their upper part was exposed to hits that may cause swelling and you never know if women have breast cancer, if not checked properly, but again it is still their own choice if they are a Basketball player, Boxer, MMA fighter or any combat contact sports they play, regardless they are still vulnerable to any cancer in their body,

Well, that is surely sad news for the WNBA community, I haven't seen Tiffany Jackson in action because I have just started watching the WNBA and put it on my list to try and watch sports, but her legacy and braveness live on, it was on 2017 the last years of her WNBA career, and it was on Los Angeles Sparks and now she is a coach as an assistant in Texas for the Longhorns, Rest In Peace

In other great news Well on the 2020 NBA bubble while many are in a Covid lockdown inside the bubble Lebron James and other league stars  were hungry to spread the word about the WNBA by wearing matching W's orange-and-white pullover hoodies, Lebron James,  Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Damian Lillard, Trae Young, and DeMar DeRozan in hopes in spreading awareness and supporting the NBA's Sister Company League during the today's talk uninterrupted series "The Shop," Lebron James was interviewed, I would love getting a hoodie like that to support the WNBA aswell,

Yes, there's a certain reason the rounds are up to that number. It's really to control and avoid that scene when a sudden strong punch has been thrown to the body part which can cause the death of the boxer.
You'll never know if it's on the head, back head, or even on the abdomen part could also cause death when the internal organs of the boxer that have been hit are delicate and will cause implications inside or hemorrhage.

Watching the recent deaths in boxing, this year 2022 Arest Saakyan, death to opponent Igor Semernin, Simiso Buthelezi's death to opponent Siphesihle Mntungwa, and Luis Quinones's last opponent Jose Munoz, well all causes of death was head trauma or injury to the head, Notable injury fighters can not stand up and unconscious while Simiso Buthelezi was fighting a hallucination inside the ring when the referee stops the fight because Simiso Buthelezi never stop fighting that day, he keeps on going on, till the end,


Almost everyone knows those risks but just like what you've said, they can't do about it to make the sport much safer. I guess that's the end of it and for now, all they can do is accept the said risks while the people behind the industry is searching for some remedies without making the fight uninteresting. This is the sport they chose, combat sports specifically and it's natural that fighters will get hurt.

Well, they tend to just accept there are certain risks involved in boxing but they certainly want to lessen that risk, in the MMA the casualties are already lessened, and sometimes prevented, because of the stoppage so the lives of the fighters will surely depend on the referee's inside the ring because what I see with the referee's in boxing they will not access to stop the fight when they saw that the fighter is still able to fight they would continue the fight and will count to 10 that may cause brain hemorrhage while on the MMA when a certain fighter jumps to the knockdown fighter and will continue the barrage of punches to the opponent the referee would stop the fight in the act of saving those fighters, but sometimes fighters will get mad on referees for saving and doing his job,

Leicester city have their first win this season after a long run up in the premier league. Beating Nottingham Forest was an easy task for the Foxes as they thrashed them woefully. Brendan Rodgers will look for more wins in his remaining games inother to save his job at Leicester and the fans are also patient with him. Leicester city facing hard time was solely because of not buying players in the transfer window and selling their key players this summer. The team still have some key players in the club that can make them escape the relegation zone.

1st match against Nottm Forest and I think Leicester really is a more decent team than Nottm Forest that is for sure, both these teams are below the standings 1st half was really something for Leicester James Maddison got his first goal while the assist of J. Vardy help Harvey Barnes to make a goal, while another game goal for James Maddison without any help he surely made a goal easily, then on the 2nd half there is a lot of drama than the last goal for Leicester have been made with the assist of J. Maddison to Patson Daka,

It's very hard to believe if performance from leicester city already recovered. Leicester city was winning last match and yeah that's good but seeing from the overall performance from leicester city and im feeling doubt about it can win against bournetmouth. The performance from bournemouth is far better compared with leicester city. Leicester city was selling too much players on its club. that was giving a huge impact to the performance from leicester city.
I doubt if leicester city can win against bourncemouth otherwise bournemouth can beat leicester city easily with huge scores.

It was not hard to believe their opponent was Nottm Forest and likely either team will surely lose, but it was proven wrong we can see a very dominating game for Leicester against Nottm Forest and we surely know that Leicester really have something in them and that James Maddison is really something he could be a potential but maybe against other teams on the upper standing of the Premier League they are really beyond compare,

I know a lot has been said and written about Bayern, but I really think it was a temporary crisis of form. In the Champions League they have 9 out of 3, so they have no problems there. But in the competition they have also won the title so many times that they may have started to think too easily about it. Then you automatically get that some kind of underestimation will take place. And next month is the World Cup, many players from the Bayern Munich team will also play with their country at the World Cup, so they may also take it easy in matches. Nobody wants to miss the World Cup. But there is a good chance that Bayern will now just win 5 times in a row and then I think you will be at the top of the competition again.

It was and they have proven that with their game against Leverkusen but sad to say that Leverkusen is not in good shape as well and that is why Bayern Munich have beaten them so easily, but if you would look at every Bayern Munich play and position on the previous position Julian Nagelsmann keep on insisting that Sadio Mane will be on the front, all those losses and draw If Sadio Mane was not on the front lines or he will be absent at all, but in the latest form of Bayern Munich they will always win whenever Sadio Mane is a winger for the team, he could do explosive assist or even make good quality goals from that position, he is really more comfortable that way,



Results for the Hoffenheim against Werder,

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim VS SV Werder Bremen GOAL 1 - 2 - WIN

It really was a surprise win I have said what Werder Bremen would do with Hoffenheim, Marvin Ducksch with the assist of Fullkrug managed to strike 1st, but Hoffenheim retaliated quickly, then two of Werder Bremen acquired a yellow card, Marco Friedl and Ilia Gruev ten Niclas Fullkrug was now the one that has acquired a goal their 2nd goal against Hoffenheim, it was really a heated battle but Werder Bremen have bested Hoffenheim on this game it was an astonishing game and I really think Werder Deserves every one bit of it,

Here is my pick for the fights tomorrow, for the UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs. Araujo

Alexa Grasso VS Viviane Araujo

Stake odds for this fight are 1.48 for Grasso while 2.60 for Araujo, for this fight I am for the beautiful Alexa Grasso through and through Surely Araujo has a high possibility to do the fight on the ground but good takedown defense is what Grasso is all about, and she can now play it safe that is why her fight was finishing on a decision win, but for me Alexa Grasso truly is will win this, so my pick is Alexa Grasso,

Jonathan Martinez VS Cub Swanson

Stake odds for this fight are 1.49 for Martinez and 2.55 for Swanson, I have never seen after that Darren Elkins fight in 2021, and I don't really like his fight with Giga Chikadze he lost to Chikadze While Martinez has a consecutive win of 3 for me a safe bet will be Jonathan Martinez I really think that Martinez would win this we got to see their age and Cub Swanson looks old, on his age, so for me, Jonathan Martinez is my pick,

Askar Askarov VS Brandon Royval

The stake odds for this fight are 1.42 for Askarov and 2.85 for Royal, Askar has only 1 lost and it was from Kai Kara-France for me Askar can win this with his ground game, and with his stand-up, a decent  one aswell but both men are pretty much well-verse with the ground game, for me Askar Askarov will have an edge with his type of wrestling like Khabib it will be a chain of multiple Submission for me Askar Askarov will win this,
2411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 08, 2022, 06:39:06 AM

No disrespect but to get to the NBA from other countries, you should be insanely strong and have some unique styles of playing, and more importantly, you can easily score 20+ points per game like this guy here. Just look at his insane performance and compare him to Kai who has really a long way to go to be like that. Kai is still young and has some room for improvement he can probably make some positive changes in the upcoming years and is finally signed by one of the teams in the NBA that needed a competitive center.




Don't worry I surely know what the NBA really wanted and Victor Wembanyama is surely a great draft or a great inclusion to the NBA while he is still 18 years, but I just want to support a fellow Filipino on what he truly loves and the main goal here is getting in the NBA and for the 1st pure blooded Filipino to be playing on the NBA, Surely I think aswell that he needs to improve his playing and base on his performance he surely has some space to improve, but we Filipino's are always here encouraging him to never give up,


A good chance because that's is why there are pre-season games, it's a dry run for their plans and that's the perfect opportunity to try whether if it will work or not, both teams will benefit from it and there's no win or lose at this point until the season starts formally. So far we've seen some teams that are doing good and some are not taking the risks of letting their superstars play and just give the experience to the bench players to work their skills.

We can not access any good play in the Preseason games and yes it is for the bench players to show what they can do, and to experience the court, well that injuries can not be anticipated on when they will happen but preseason is good conditioning for a player on their long break as well, not just for the bench players, that is why we can see some all-star players are using this opportunity to warm-up and just scoring a couple of shots, in the preseason and doing things that unlikely they will do in the actual start of the season,

2412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: October 07, 2022, 06:59:26 PM
I respect the opinion, but I'm also not a massive fan of Gane. I thought Tuivasa highlighted quite a bit that was wrong with his style, and Ngannou obviously almost made it comical to go, and wrestle him on some pretty beat up knees, and get the win.

Gane has movement, but I don't think he has too much else. His kicks were obviously the defining thing in that fight against Tai, although I think if Tai could've defended them better, he would've eventually put Gane on his back.

Jones despite his critics, has some of the most creative moves I've ever seen, without looking awkward. Plus, his wrestling can't be underestimated. He's wrestled with the best, and beat them at their own game. Obviously, he's a little older now, and will definitely have some cage rust, but I think he threatens anyone in the top 5.

I respect your opinion aswell, and this is just what I think about the situation I am a Ciryl Gane fan, which is why I think I might sound biased sometimes but I surely listen to all of the opposites that I hear on what I am thinking I surely always welcome all of it,

For me, Tai Tuivasa has one opening to their fight and it was really not an opening but a false one and he kept on relying on that, while Gane has many ways of going on, for me it was only a lucky punch that hit and knock down Gane because after that all strikes of Tuivasa is not hitting Gane anymore, but I don't think it will be effective on Jon Jones for Jones there will be a very different approached for him,


UFC 280 is a great event. The emir must've paid a lot to make this kind of event. It's too stacked and there are too many great match-ups that are nearly 50/50. I'm not missing this event. I'll be cheering for Oliveira, T.J., Yan, and Beneil.  

I'm not a big fan of wrestling, I find it a little boring and Oliveira is a very very exciting fighter, so I want him to keep on winning. I want I'm not a fan of T.J. either but I still have my hangover on that Oscar award performance of Aljamain. The same with the Pink Poodle, but hats off to him for taking this Yan fight. Poor Beneil is inactive for a year and a half, and yet he will face a very tough opponent in his comeback to the octagon.

For me, I got Beneil Dariush, Petr Yan, T.J. Dillashaw, and Islam Makhachev for me great ground game makes a better fighter, and is likely for me many who are really anticipating this fight or more likely curious about it, I think that Islam Makhachev like Khabib will surely get to this and will dominate the ground,

Also try no to miss Khabibs brother Abubakar Nurmagomedov fight and Khabibs best friends Zubaira Tukhugov fights. Practivally, 3 Khabibs friends, students will fight that night. He probably will be one of courner guys in each fight. This is gonna take so much energy and emotions from him, such a huge pressure and responsibility. Khabib is gaining weight and turning grey slowly, after that night he will definitely gonna look lose some weight and gain grey hair Cheesy

In addition, in prelims there will be Belal Muhammad vs. Sean Brady fight. Top6 vs top8 welterweight fight. Muhammad is on a series of 7 wins and NC against Leon Edwards. Possible first contender for a title fight.

P.S. Lets get back to UFC 280 after next weeks Grasso vs. Araújo event. Me or someone else gonna make a nice even presentation (info, card)  Wink

Whoa! I never really know that I swear, but will be seeing that for sure UFC 280 is really something, and Khabib Nurmagomedov also think of them and is close to them, so he will definitely will be on the corner,

This match looks one-sided as Chelsea's performance in the last match was excellent. They had a great win against Milan in the Champions League. As the players are very confident now, it is expected that they will be able to continue their good performance against Wolves as well. Also Wolves' performances have been very poor in recent times. So the match is likely to be one-sided.

Yup! it is a very one-sided game for sure and Chelsea's probability of winning is 70% right now Chelsea has 4 wins 1 draw and 2 losses, while Wolves has 1 win 3 draws, and 4 losses, it seems that Chelsea will take another win here, and it will be an easy win for them,

Liverpool are currently still in a not so good condition although in the last few matches they actually made some progress but the performance is still the same and their problems in defense have not been resolved properly.
In every match that has been run so far I still don't understand why T Alexander Arnold still makes some mistakes that can actually be overcome.

Liverpool is doing quite the opposite in the UEFA Champions League, even though are slacking in the Premier League they are in their best form when it comes to the Champion League, I really don't know what is their game and strategy with the Champion League but why can't they do within the Premier League, well Ranger and Ajax sees not a reliable team on the Champion League that Liverpool is just making them look like they are not exiting in the Champion League at all,

Playing like KD will be too much of an ask for the young guy. First, they play a totally different position. Second, you need to have extreme handling skills to be able to reach KD's level. They may be near in height, but KD is a totally different beast. He already improved a lot based on his recent games. He is not sluggish anymore and has better positioning under the ring. Another year of experience and we may see an NBA level of skills on Kai if he does not stop training and improving his game. The body that he needs will naturally follow if he continues to improve and mature.

It was just wishful thinking on what may happen to Kai Sotto when he can play for the NBA, but as you have said I can not surely compare him with anyone in the NBA he could surely play decent or he could surely play beyond that player it is his own playing style that he is making here and it is surely a great thing for young generations to even combine the playing style of different players on the NBA, and also I can not expect more on him and now that he is still not starting on the NBA,


Still far in my opinion, unless he will show big improvement and he will gain more minutes than what he's getting right now.

Kai's mindset will bring him to his dream career. I agree that he's not stopping, and he keeps trying motivating himself to reach
that dream.

Only time can predict how Kai will become in the near future. For now, he needs to keep on pushing and try to learn more with
each experience that he's gaining from every different league that he is playing.

I Agree, he just turned 20 years of age and he surely can bust a few things on his own on what can he do in what to improve, but for him, we that support him is just here for him, and Jordan Clarkson also put up a great advise to him to not give up what he wants in reaching that goal and in reaching that dream, because it is still early for him to give-up he just turned 20 this year, and there is a bright future in him in what he can accomplice right now,

I think that is right, though we have seen that they are being dominated by team US, but the fighting spirit is really high.

Even they've lost the finals but they win the heart of their home fans, each time they made conversions
the fans are really enjoying and cheering for them, we never know what will happen after some years for
this young cores of Chinese team but I expect they will continue to be on the upper side after witnessing
that last FIBA women finals.

That is how amazing fan support truly is this goes to show how amazing the Chinese people would go for their players I just realized the Philippine basketball community on the recent Fiba cup I think every country will truly support 1 another in the fight for the country, but in the World cup like these the cheer and support was pretty much different than with the support and cheer when a player is playing against one another, I think in the next year because of this Dominating performance of the USA I hope other countries will be more determined getting the goal that they want,

Here's an example of how our WNBA players are dealing with it when they are pregnant.

9 months + rest. It's one of the challenging parts when you are becoming a mother but fully rewarding.
Another rough path is when you are trying to get back to the game. You will need to be fit again and it will take months of training and exercise then, trying to tell yourself you are good to go mentally.
Some will go back, some don't. I think that's what businesses are trying to avoid that is why the support for women's basketball is lesser.

Great find on the video a totally needed information because we have a topic about certain issues with women working in companies and nobody likes to hire them and I think this good example of what may happen when they are pregnant and the solution to this, is 9 months plus 1 rest for the mother, that is pretty much good topic indeed,

While I'm not a massive fan of Jones as a person, at least what we've seen, and heard of him ever since he kind of unofficially retired. He is one of the best mixed martial artists to have graced the UFC. I wouldn't be too sure he would struggle against the top fighters, and he would likely give a lot of them a run for their money. Even the Ngannou fight, I'd be interested as their styles are a little different. Jon Jones is also more versatile than pretty much every fighter at the top. Gane has proved he was one dimensional in terms of just movement, and no ground game, and that was particularly highlighted in the Ngannou fight.

I think Jones beats Gane, quite convincingly. Whereas the rest of the guys I don't actually know.

I have watched the recent highlights and some of the fights of Jon Jones and it was really impressive, I don't really see any good leads that his style was changed for the new fighters that await him, and for me, Cyril Gane is undoubtedly upper than him, in terms of technique and skills, for me Jon Jones is like Conor McGregor during his hype, there will be eventually fighters that will be ready for him training himself to be prepared for the Heavyweight is a good thing he did, but do I think he is really in a higher Division just because of his body change? I really don't know, but for me, he is really new and on his 35 years of age right now, but we will see,



I am really excited about the UFC 280 and what could have unfolded in that event on the main event we will have main 4 fights that are truly outstanding in my opinion and that will be the match in order between,

1st Beneil Dariush VS Mateusz Gamrot
2nd Petr Yan VS Sean O'Malley
3rd Aljamain Sterling VS T.J. Dillashaw
4th Charles Oliveira VS Islam Makhachev

these 4 will surely be enough and a blast but having a wave of well-known fighters in one event is really an excitement raising, especially the main event, if these two would likely take the Belt could Charles Oliveira reclaim his belt or Islam Makhachev could take it this time, thinking about this makes my excited boils,

I guess and think we will see a few changes maybe but not to much as the team is not really so big different from the last season to the current one.
If they dont win against Schalke then i dont know whats wrong with Leverkusen , but i expect a win for them on the coming weekend.
And they playing at home so i guess thats also a advantage for Leverkusen , but they should not underestimate Schalke.

There might have a slight impact but I guess we will not even notice it, if the problem is not on the coach it is sometimes on the players so they need to cut some of the players that are not listening or not making progress at all, but apparently, some teams need a desperate change in coach as well but the case of Bayern Munich a change in the strategy because they don't have Robert Lewandowski on the team, a change of strategy that revolves around Lewandowski is really needed, but in the case of Leverkusen I really don't know, and I don't know if Xabi Alonso can change that, but let's just wait.



Quick picks for tomorrow's  game

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim VS SV Werder Bremen

Stake odds for this game are 1.98 for Hoffenheim while 4.00 for a draw, and 3.50 for Werder, This is the 1st time these two would clash this season, and I am expecting great results for Werder I really don't know why but I think they can pass Hoffenheim this time, and sometimes Werder can really surprise us, for me my pick is Werder Bremen,

Bayer 04 Leverkusen VS FC Schalke 04

Stake odds for this game are 1.50 for Leverkusen while 4.90 for a draw and 6.00 for Schalke, after Xabi Alonso changed as the coach for Leverkusen it seems that many are having faith in the new coach for Leverkusen to make a win in this match, and I will surely get on board to that hype, not going to make any bet but my pick is Leverkusen,

FC Augsburg VS VfL Wolfsburg

Stake odds for this game are 2.95 for Augsburg while 3.45 for a draw and 2.45 for Wolfsburg, This is pretty much remarkable having close odds and Wolfsburg slightly has an edge, but in this match, I really like Wolfsburg, but it could also become a draw game, but I would go with the Wolfsburg this time,

FSV Mainz 05 VS RB Leipzig

Stake odds for this game are 3.05 for Mainz while 3.55 for a draw and 2.32 for Leipzig, In the recent game of Leipzig in the champion league they crush Celtic 3 - 1 so I am giving my pick for Leipzig and I really like this team, to be champion this season of the Bundesliga, so my pick is non-other than Leipzig,

Here are my picks for Premier League games tomorrow

Newcastle United FC VS Brentford FC - DRAW

Stake odds for this game are 1.81 for Newcastle while 3.90 for the draw and 4.30 for Brentford, for me this could go into the draw judging by both team performance I think I'll bet on a draw,

Chelsea FC VS Wolverhampton Wanderers FC

Stake odds for this game are 1.40 for Chelsea while 4.90 for the draw and 8.20 for the Wolves, this is a very one-sided game in my opinion and for me, Chelsea has all the advantage here so for me Chelsea,

Manchester City FC VS Southampton FC

Stake odds for this game are 1.13 for Man City while 10.00 for the draw and 19.00 for Southampton, this is another one-sided game since Erling Halland is on the team it seems like that Manchester City have already coup up from the additional player they get, and Erling Halland has already had the chemistry for the team, and I really think that this is another 1 sided game that may happen,

And I don't even know why his fights are still a must watch to anybody out there, it's not that entertaining and exciting anymore because he is just fighting amateur fighters that is way out of his league and even before he said that he won't accept any fights against any boxer that is near his caliber, we already know that he won't agree to any fights where his chances to win are not guaranteed.

And we have this rumor that he'll fight with McGregor again, what does that mean? It's seems to me that he's just afraid to face the legendary boxer once again even if it's just an exhibition fight.

Well, I think people will eventually get tired of watching him beat the crap out of Youtuber MMA fighters, or retired MMA fighters, if that happens he will eventually stop this nonsense, and maybe get back to the old regular boxer, but we will see if that happens because if there are people that want to watch him beat the crap out of non-boxer fighter then we just have to keep on watching it until he grows old on it,

Yeah! Conor McGregor is another money-making dude, that is surely one big fight for Mayweather, and if these two would collide again I guess there will be tons of Pay per views, and let's admit that these two have a lot of fans that would love them inside the ring,


Boxing before was fight to the death or shall we say the last man standing. You quit or you die. During the era of Duran, Leonard and Hearns they fought for 15 rounds. Today, it is only 12 rounds. Before, the referees count up to 10, but today, counting ends at 8. There were improvements in boxing to protect their health and lives.

Anyhow, I do not agree reducing the 12 rounds. Non-title boxing matches can be less than 12 rounds, they are not forced. How about replacing boxing gloves? I like lighter gloves and UFC gloves. But boxing is dependent on fists. Extra light and UFC gloves can hurt boxers fists specially when they are in a 36 minute match-ups.  

As I have said there are more deaths in boxing than in MMA, and I am suggesting ways to reduce those deaths by reducing those rounds but surely there will be people that would not allow it, and that is why boxing is remade into non-lethal sports, in the old days they are not using gloves at all and like you have said the fight to the death, that is why it reduced to a number of rounds because of some heavy concussion to the head of the fighter that would likely trauma anyone's brain, but apparently we are just suggesting here prevention and how to lessen deaths in the sport of boxing,

Just Because the LFA 144 and KSW 75 are going to be next week October 14, I will have a quick pick of the Cage Warriors match and eyeing making a good pick on it aswell,

Cage Warriors 144: Wooding vs. Martignoni


Dominique Wooding VS Michele Martignoni

There are no booked fights on stake for Cage Warriors, so I will be judging each fighter by their technique and skills, Well for me Dominique Wooding could have a slight reach advantage, and pretty much so far in cage warriors his record shows no decision wins but KO/TKO wins only but he has 4 losses, while Michele Martignoni, for me Michele Martignoni has some stuff going on in the ground, so submission is his turf, but Wooding has a good takedown defense so my pick will be Dominique Wooding,

Carlo Pedersoli VS Madars Fleminas

For this match, I would go with the well-rounded fighter the young athletes in my opinion had a bright future, and 13 wins is surely a great deal while Fleminas has 10 wins, but has a great impression that this guy will win but for me, my pick is Carlo Pedersoli,

Jasmine Favero VS Awa Sow

I have seen a fighting kitten on cage warriors and this is Jasmine Favero, I think she got more experience because of her Amateur fights so my pick will be her,
