Well, the truth is, Kambosos could start with a good strategy that would be to give a KO, but I think it is a very risky strategy, because he will spend a lot of energy and I know that he can do it, but Haney has a very good preparation, and also one of the main characteristics of it is resistance.

If we focus on the physical characteristics and the styles of the boxers we see that there is a combination of styles that, if they had each one, would be even more complete.
That is exactly why I want these kind of match-up because these boxers are the kind who wouldn't take an easy defeat as they are both eager and willing to give their best shot in-order to have a sure win no matter what would cost them. I just surely hope this will be a clean fight though.

Either way, both boxers shouldn't be complacent to each other because they are both capable of giving a knockout punch. But on this fight, I won't deny that I'm with Haney.

Do you believe that after the Mavs' victory over the Suns yesterday, it shows how weak or fragile the Phoenix team is?

I can't comment on that since, in those 2 lost games by the Suns, they didn't show their 100% performance. If only they gave their 100% and still lose, I can conclude that Dallas Mavericks are really ahead of them.

Returning from home, Phoenix Suns will do everything to take the lead in this series. However, I'm with the Mavericks to win.

If let's say the Suns will lose here, there will be more critics of Chris Paul about being a choker in playoffs, as always.
I'm really not seeing the Dallas Mavericks getting in the Finals this year, they sure have been good this season but I cannot help to say that they are now against a tough team who would still dominate any team despite being undermanned and now that they are back and healthy, it's really hard for Mavericks to beat the Suns.
2403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 11, 2022, 05:07:03 PM
There is a high chance that there will be a trilogy if Donaire will win on their rematch next month as their standings would be tied to 1-1 but if Inoue will still be the last man standing then I think he will go for Butler and go up to another division after he defeats Donaire and Butler respectively. In the past, Casimero is included to his plan but now that Casimero has been stripped of his WBO belt, I don't certainly think that Inoue will be interested to him anymore.

Honestly, there's no other fight that should be arranged but a trilogy if ever Nonito Donaire wins this rematch against Naoya Inoue. It's like the chapter of them should now be close for good. For sure, once the winner of this rematch is announced, and let's say it's Donaire the winner, Inoue will immediately ask for a rematch on the post-interview and Donaire will gladly accept it right away.

The boxing association won't miss the opportunity to make another round of money so if ever Nonito wins this fight, we can possibly see another rematch between the two.  Trilogy often happens when the fight record between two boxers is 1-1.
If Nonito Donaire won this fight and the team Inoue wants a rematch, they would need to do it quickly. Donaire is getting old, as much as I love the guy as a boxer, his age will be his biggest opponent. also, if he declines (which I think he won't) a rematch from Inoue if he ever won, I'm not gonna blame him.
I guess it wouldn't be called as a rematch anymore, a trilogy you mean if ever Donaire will win this said rematch just like you said.

If that will be the case, then Inoue and his camp should try and hurry up the arrangements so that this trilogy will happen sooner as Donaire's age won't stop increasing as time goes by. Might be best to set-up and pick trilogy schedule in December or somewhere in early January 2023. However if the result is in-favor of Inoue again, I think Donaire will start thinking to hang his gloves for good.
2404  Economy / Speculation / Re: No FUDs will win the market on: May 09, 2022, 02:35:58 PM
FUD often appears when cryptocurrency prices weaken and generally FUD can be influential if a novice investor is not confident and easy to influence. But for experienced investors, it has no effect on the price of crypto assets spread by FUD. That's because investors already know how to deal with FUD.
Probably it will appear now as bitcoin is dumping, down 14% already in the last 7 days per - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/
That's alarming if you are still expecting it will recover big time because the trend this year thus far is not bullish but bearish.

We have to go with the flow, don't contradict it, instead, we should see the opportunity in the bearish market.
The opportunities are buying the dip, that's the same strategy that are effective in the past, for sure it's still effective until now.

Open media training for Haney here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX8IEu2UkwE

You can see the speed, really motivated for his upcoming fight against Kambosos.
I'm sure since Kambosos is the underdog, bettors might look for him as we have seen a big upset recently.

"Superman speed warp speed",
"All night long"
,  Grin

They are both motivated check Kamboso's page and you will see the intensity of the training, it seems he is more motivated in this fight than in a Lopez fight, I don't see him as an underdog in this fight, Haney is a slight favorite but Kambosos cannot be a heavy underdog they are both champions and we have seen how Kambosos can overcome challenges, I think he wants to feel the underdog because it brings the best of him.

This looks a heavy underdog for me.
Quote
Odds: Devin Haney -190 favorite, George Kambosos +148 underdog.
https://bettinginsiderjournal.com/boxing/devin-haney-vs-george-kambosos-odds/

But anyway, it's always up to us if we are willing to take the risk, if we go with the underdog, then well and good, besides, Kambasos is also an elite fighter and you can expect he would fight until the end.

It's really true don't say about market because the market is confusing.I bought coins when I saw the market down.When the market is very down that's in time i think then coins can be bought and sold at a higher price.I always follow this trick but right now i understand that's not right way because follow these tricks I have always lost.so this is very confusing when the buy coin red candle or green candle?    
When it's low, you don't have to sell. But if you sell and you think that you're in profit whether the price is low, that's because you might have bought it when it was lower.
Mostly, if you're going to sell at low prices, you're showing an indication that you're in panic and that's why you really shouldn't do that unless it's necessary for you to sell.
That's a problem if you don't understand the behaviour of the market, if we are here because we think that bitcoin will always rise or crypto market will always be bullish, then we are being unrealistic because that's not the nature of the market, there's no volatility in that case.

The price will dump = normal
The price will rise = normal.

All you need is timing but you cannot do it effectively if you don't educate yourself first.

Suns vs Mavericks.
If this game will be a close one, I think it's going to go over. Another factor that would result in over is if this game will go to OT. Also, if the Suns will dominate, their scoring will not be limited to below 100 points only, they might come back strong and improve their offense.

Suns see that they will lose if the game is a low-scoring game, so they'll go fast pace to improve their score.

My bet is over 214.5.

I think I'll tail on this one, although the Mavericks usual habit of slow ball might be the deciding factor, if both teams are able to get good short percentages then the Over should likely hit.
Unfortunately we didn't hit the over, the total score was only 212, and again, that was before CP3 was not productive, he was in foul trouble so he cannot make the right play for their offense.


I'll also be taking the Suns -2.5 Here, I'm expecting better adjustment from the Suns today.

The home team also won and have even the series, so it's a double loss.
However, if we like to bounce back, we should bet on the Suns in game 5, I'm sure Suns will not allow to lose 3 times in a row, not on their home court.

Exactly, Inoue gave Donaire an opportunity for a rematch, then most likely Donaire would also give that favor to Inoue if he wins the rematch.
And besides, there's no other boxer in their division that could generate money fighting with him, they are the champions, so people would pay and watch them.

I stumbled upon an article recently that Paul Butler might take a shot at challenging the winner of Inoue and Donaire. However, WBO might assign him to defend his title first but it's still unknown who will be his next opponent.
That's a good requirement as he did not work for that Title, so at least for once, he has to defend it, and I hope it's against a Filipino boxer.

Back to Inoue and Donaire, both have an experience dealing with Casimero thru heated exchanges but they didn't release a statement or opinion yet regarding Casimero's strip title. Maybe for them, it's better to be silent for good.
Good for them, they stay professional and focus on their upcoming big fight.
Trash talking has no room here since Casimero is not anymore a champion, he is just now an ordinary boxer trying to climb the ladder again.
2409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 09, 2022, 05:36:04 AM
I think that Celtics are going to become the champions of this season in NBA. In playoff rounds, the importance of defending is getting bigger. And Celtics managed to keep their opponent Bucks at only 89 points in their last game. And they already sent a message by literally sweeping an opponent like Nets to all of the teams in NBA.

They surely have a shot of getting the championship this season but that way won't come easy for them because there's still a long way to go before they even reach the Finals, they needed to defeat the Bucks this round which is the champion last season if they are literally that good enough to be the champion this season. The way I'm seeing it, there will be some adjustments this game 3 and I'm not sure that it will be on their favor.

Boston is already showing there signature move which is choking on playoffs especially if they are fighting with strong team despite they have the advantage on the early stage of playoffs. They are losing whenever Jayson Tatum is not performing well which only means they are too relyin on him which is there greatest weakness when Tatum can’t do anything to answer back the aggression of Giannis in this match. I think Bucks completely got this series.

Tatum last performance was not good, that's why now they are behind in this series and it could be 3-1 the next game as it is still going to be played at Bucks home court. So it they want to avoid to be down, they should woke up and win the next game to even up the series because it's hard to go win when you are down 3-1 in a series. So we will see what kind of adjustments Tatum will do, as they are the obvious underdogs now.

That's possible of course, but even if Tatum's performance was not good, they still almost win the game. Game 4 is very important for the Celtics if they want to win, they need to even the series and everyone must step up, one might struggle but they should help each other as a team.

This is the first I've seen something like this during my long time participating in a boxing poll here

Quote
George Kambosos vs Devin Haney
George Kambosos   - 13 (50%)
Devin Haney   - 13 (50%)
Total Voters: 26

It's still over a month but will this stay the community is divided on who is the favorite come fight night and if we see something similar like this on bookies it's going to be a very interesting fight.
My sentimental favorite is Kambosos but Haney is preferable to win if I will go technical details on the style of both fighters.

This is one of the rare predictions here and you can expect that this is not a one-sided fight like we used to see because both of those guys are strong and power punchers that can surprise everyone with their boxing skills and it will be an unforgettable performance and hope that no one will get injured just before the fight because we all expected a total clash in the middle of the ring without hesitations. If that's the case, then the fight won't gonna reach the official's score cards.

Well recently almost all of us voted for Canelo to win the match against Bivol, but obviously we have not the results and it was an upset.

But in this poll, community is divided, although Haney is the favorite, yet many thinks that Kambosos will win because of his recent performance against Teo Lopez. So we will see then, if Kambosos is the underdog as per bookies will pull another upset win.
Yes including me, I'm also guilty about that as I did hope and expected that Canelo would still be hailed as the champion rather than the defending champion Dmitrii Bivol. I surely underestimated Bivol, I mean who would've honestly thought that Canelo will experience his 2nd defeat today when in-fact he is more experienced than Bivol.

But in-terms of Kambosos vs Haney, I'm with the latter. He plays safe and calculates his attacks well so that his stamina won't deplete easily. I might be wrong again, we don't know  Grin
2411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 08, 2022, 05:37:36 PM
I might be wrong but do you mean, Inoue vs Donaire is not a good fight for you as you want Casimero?

Better playback what happens in their first meetup that it needs a rematch. Maybe you just don't know much Donaire that's why you want Casimero for him. Casimero is even overrated. The way he is struggling to maintain his weight, how can he even match with a much more fit Naoya Inoue.


I have to agree that the fight between Donaire and Inoue deserves a rematch. Then, what If Donaire wins the rematch, then a trilogy would be much interesting.
I guess Casimero still have a chance for the Inoue fight later after Donaire.
I want to believe he's overrated, but not until he fights Inoue.
We can't deny that guy is also a good boxer and carrying much hype with his character.

Don't know what the terms of this second fight, maybe they sign a possible trilogy if Donaire will win, otherwise Inoue will be the best bantamweight and then maybe goes after the belt of Butler. For sure Donaire doesn't want the WBO stripping Casimero because he is instrumental in getting him to Probellum promotions. But yeah, he is out of the picture already and it was Butler name in the discussion now.
There is a high chance that there will be a trilogy if Donaire will win on their rematch next month as their standings would be tied to 1-1 but if Inoue will still be the last man standing then I think he will go for Butler and go up to another division after he defeats Donaire and Butler respectively. In the past, Casimero is included to his plan but now that Casimero has been stripped of his WBO belt, I don't certainly think that Inoue will be interested to him anymore.

You have a point but the Celtics have been impressive since they suddenly clinched before the regular season have ended and until they swept the Brooklyn Nets on the 1st round, and now they have been giving the Bucks a hard time to get a win because of their defensive style especially Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum. Yes, let's see what would be the response of the Bucks.
I think it's still not a guarantee, even though for example later the Celtics will indeed be a team that advances to the semifinals but still it's not a guarantee that the Celtics will become champions this season. Because at the moment they are still in a draw and in fact, their winning and losing points are not much different so of course the Bucks will not be easy to beat as the champion team last season. I'm personally considering the two teams between the Golden State Warriors and the Miami Heat, but my choice is strong on the Golden State Warriors for NBA champions this season.
Yup, that's still not a guarantee that the Boston Celtics will indeed hailed as the NBA Champion this season because every round they survive they will face another much heavier opponent but I'm just saying that they have been impressive these past several weeks as they have made the favorite teams to struggle.

Same here, if I were to choose between GSW and Heat, I would honestly say GSW.
2413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: May 08, 2022, 02:07:55 PM
You can see Canelo's frustration in round 5, while Bivol is still composed and didn't fall on Canelo's trap.

And yes, it really seems to be very simple, used his jab, and then combination, and quick on his feet as to not get trap in the corner wherein Canelo can throw a lot of punches. Canelo's punches doesn't affect Bivol which led me to think that he can't carry his power to his division.

Canelo was pissed and frustrated the whole fight because he cannot see an opening, and that round 5 we can really tell, even the announcers said it was Canelo's frustration when he provoked Bivol as if he wants more of it and as if he wasn't hurt.

Bivol was just the better fighter in this match, he was calm and uses his size and reach all the time. His footwork and combos were great.
I am going to expect a rematch with this fight.

There will be a rematch because Canelo want one.

https://www.marca.com/en/boxing/2022/05/08/62775467ca4741d72e8b4576.html

He has to figure out how to destroy the defense of Bivol as that is his only chance of hurting the champ.
In that fight, Canelo look like the same person who lose on Mayweather on a unanimous decision, and actually Mayweather beat on Bivol to win the fight, he showed his bet slip.

Suns vs Mavericks.
If this game will be a close one, I think it's going to go over. Another factor that would result in over is if this game will go to OT. Also, if the Suns will dominate, their scoring will not be limited to below 100 points only, they might come back strong and improve their offense.

Suns see that they will lose if the game is a low-scoring game, so they'll go fast pace to improve their score.

My bet is over 214.5.
2415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: May 07, 2022, 07:03:47 PM


Waiting for this fight to happen. Bivol knows he is on the spotlight here so whatever he will say can be used against him. So better keep mum and let do the talking his performance come this fight. Canelo is like at the prime of his career so no doubt many are believing on him with his capability even if he is the one going up with the weight division.

Bivol is like that he did not change because he is facing Canelo he doesn't trash talk and is very quiet he never chooses to be mum it is just his character, and about the prime of his career they are both in the prime of their career, it's just Canelo is too experienced and probably stronger than Bivol, Canelo is the heavy favorite here but I will admire Bivol more if he takes the fight to the distance, and I believe he can do it.
Bivol is a champ. I like him so much and follow him. His fight with Canelo is something fans have been waiting for. I like the strength of both the boxers but I will bet on Bivol. But that is correct too Canelo is too experiences as compared to Bivol and his strength and speed is amazing. Lets see who takes the lead.
Both are champions of their respective divisions but Canelo is the undisputed but I respect your bet on Bivol, I know he can make this fight interesting as he can and will likely go for a tough toe-to-toe match few hours from now. It's just it's hard to bet against Canelo who is currently on his prime. We will see who will be the winner Smiley
2416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: May 06, 2022, 06:07:17 PM
the bookies' favourite here is haney at about 1.5x odds, whereas, kambosos at about 2.5x.
I'm not surprise with that actually as Haney is a good boxer, he has better wins than Kambasos though both are undefeated.

but if kambosos will have a very good game plan and good training, he can win this fight. i can understand why the results of this poll is like 50-50 in the forum. and that means, we will see a very nice fight between the two.
We will know if that game plan will work once they are already fighting in the ring, but for now, let's just based their chances on the odds given by the bookies.

Same here, I was already expecting too see Devin Haney listed as the favourite by the sports bookies rather than Kambosos. His record was more impressive and his style is not easy to oppose especially now that he have more reach advantage than the latter.

No matter what's their game plan towards the fight because often times, that plan won't happen because of the adjustments made by the opponents inside the ring or in the actual fight as they also know that their past fights have been watched several times to study their moves. They just have to be more intelligent to analyze each others movement.
2417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 06, 2022, 05:30:45 PM
Stripped Belt? He just deserved into that particular situation considering on how many times on which Casimero do bullshit things around.

I hope that will serve as a lesson for Casimero. Bad karma now takes place. It's easy to be humble in the first place and I don't know why he is having a hard time doing that. He doesn't need to be arrogant and boastful. Let the talks do on the ring. His trash talk is not even considered a form of marketing.

Since Casimero is now stripped with the title, I think we have another big reason now why we shouldn't involve his name here in this thread. Regardless of who will win against Inoue and Donaire, I'm sure Casimero's name won't be one of the choices in the next fight. Casimero is totally ruled out fighting either Inoue or Donaire as his next fight will be climbing up ranks again. There's still lots of time to climb up ranks, he is just 32 years old.

Let's wait if Inoue or Donaire will have their statement regarding WBO stripping Casimero's title.

Donaire though has supported Casimero and he let everyone knows what his opinion on the matter, but I guess the final decision is with the WBO.

So I guess we won't see the much anticipated fight anymore, but this will be the closest though, two of the best bantamweight we have right now. One has the experience and fire to regain his old glory, on the other hand, a young monster. Donaire still 4:1 underdog.

The only anticipated fight now is will be this fight.

Inoue vs Casimero is already (x), so, hopefully, this rematch will be better than the first fight and we will see Donaire getting good chance of winning although he is a heavy underdog in the bookies.
Casimero still have a shot to prove his rank in the bantamweight division as I've read on WBO's statement regarding Casimero's title but I don't think that he will stay on this division as he really have a problem on reducing his weight, it's quite unfortunate for him though because we cannot see Inoue vs Casimero or Donaire vs Casimero.

He can go up in weight, win the belt and hopefully Inoue too will go up, so the clash might happen in the future.

But for now, Casimero will have to work his way to be the challenger to the belt. If he chooses to stay in bantam, then maybe he will be rank as number 1 so who knows, he might get crack at Butler and get back his belt. But that is base on WBO, if they still want Casimero and allow him to fight and force the hands of Butler and his management.
His next few steps are so critical for him because if he decides to move up in a heavier division, his speed and power won't be the same when he was in the bantamweight as the boxers in the upper division is much more comfortable in their weights than him while if he decides to stay in bantamweight then he should be ready to face the problems of his weights again. Cracking Butler might be his plan for now but as I said, his next few steps will be critical.

I was actually Thompson who is the missing piece, plus he created a TO when he travel in the dying seconds of the game.

Thompson has to produce in game 3, there's no more excuse because they are playing at home and they usually have great win at home. Memphis is threatening the Warriors goal to be the champion this season, so they have to fight back and show the young team who they are.

Game 3 is surely a very interesting game, but I have a feeling that the Warriors will dominate since the line itself attracts the public bets on the Memphis.
For the Memphis fans, who would missed that +7, probably they'll go the moneyline as well.
Yes, he needs to bounce back as well after having a low FG and this time he might drop bigger points as they will play on their home and giving them the needed advantage to get a revenge after they lost on the 2nd game. We will see what will happen on their 3rd game this coming 7th of May, also they needed another person to guard Ja Morant too.

^^ Yeah, it's hard to read the body language of a fighter if he is intimidated or not. But this is boxing, so for sure you have to think that you want to take the head of your opponent during stare downs,  Grin

But just like the rest who voted in this poll, Bivol is the underdog and it seems boxing fans are not giving him the chance to topple the king yet.

Does the face off matter whether who is intimidated?

I think so, a little. Final weigh-ins are normally done one day before the fight. So if you could effectively intimidate or even affect the mind of your opponent on that day, your opponent could not easily adjust anymore because it is going to be the fight day the next day. If you successfully get into the mind of your opponent at weigh-in, that might cause him a little trouble, perhaps in his sleep or whatever, that could affect him the following day.

I doubt that, they are professional and before they accept the fight, they know already what their opponent can do. The real battle is in the ring, and both boxers believe that they can win, but like any other competition, it's the better player that will win.
I definitely agree, both have something big to lose here and accepting the fight means that they already know the capabilities. As I saw their final presscon few hours ago, I can say that there will be no mind games on their face-off or any intimidation while trying to get in each other's head and actually they are being respectful to one another, that only shows how professional these two boxers are. I'm quite surprised though that Dmitry Bivol knows how to speak English, haven't expected that.
