I can't say I really understand the difference either.  I guess maybe because Sterling was caught on tape?  Who knows...  I haven't had time to review the report yet, but it sounds like more of the Sterling nonsense like you said.  I did see something at a glance about inappropriate touching to male employees?  It seems like Sarver has some issues that aren't just rooted in racism.  I hope he is left with a sour taste in his mouth and explores selling the team.  As a businessman, he's got to see that the value is at an all time high and headed lower as this recession takes hold.  He should do everyone a favor, including himself, and sell the team.

I really think the issue is the same as well, so if Sterling got the punishment for doing something similar then Sarver should have the same punishment, and for something like this it could surely draw some attention so he would need to wait in hiding before everyone I think even the Players of the Suns is not safe from his Racism, and like I always say a racist deep in their hearts will always be racist even though he hides it outside, but to change this kind of attitude is through psychological healing,


I read this article yesterday and thought they were hard for him to ask $10 million for just saying racist words. I guess they do this kind of stuff nowadays to further stop the racism in the US and you might get yourself in trouble when you say those words no manner what you are thinking. When they say this is really nothing to him then I won't be saying much because rich people sometimes really don't know where to spend their money anymore and though this is some kind of over penalty, it is really good if it will be donated to some foundations that are really in need of it.

Well, there are tons of reports that Racism is now common in the USA which is why they are showing to the public that there are laws for this matter and they are showing some to the public by having punishments to the culprit, so anymore act of racism they will think on second thought, in doing it, I think the NBA is showing that they are not in favor with these kinds of things or activities that they are willing to give punishments whether they see something like this, in their company, Which is your correct that the fine or penalty money should be donated in some NGO kind of foundation for abused people that is a victim of racism or on a cancer health organization, but I guess the government have already thought of that,


Well, good thing is that he still have 1 more chance left before his card will burn, that 1 bad season he had is already enough for him to believe that he is not the main alpha in the team anymore and he needed to adapt as a supporting role because that's what the Lakers wanted from him.

He needs to duplicate what Carmelo did if he still wanted to play in the NBA because sooner or later, he will retire too just like the other players in the free agency.

Well, I don't really like Russell Westbrook in the 1st place but seeing a stubborn player getting out of the NBA even though he doesn't want to ultimately saddens me, that is why I want him to realize that he is not needed anymore by the team, he needs to adapt to the system and let capable players do his job if he can do that and if he can stay on the Lakers this season the management might think of something to extend his contract, I really don't want Russ to be Russ anymore but to be the best player he could be, and adding a defensive kind of style on his play I think he can fit the bill to the Lakers and for Carmelo Anthony that really loves to play the sports salute for him, I never realize that a selfish player like him would think of switching his style of play,

Yep, I've said this in another thread where Pacquiao might coming back in exhibition fight against DK Yoo a Korean youtuber at the end on this year. He even said he could taking a professional fight if there's a boxer want to fight with him, there will be a good cash flow for Pacquiao since many people already waiting him to comeback regardless which boxer he will fight. I think the cost of presidential election are really high and that's why he want to recover it from boxing.

Well, even though Pacquiao is super rich now money is not forever and he is aware of that, that is why he can continue this kind of trend just to still gain money, even though he doesn't really need it anymore, he will keep on doing it until he can't anymore,

Yes, that is just how the life works and it is inevitable because they cannot stay on the top spot forever and eventually, they will be replaced by the younger boxers who will become new elites in their own phase and time.

DK Yoo cannot reject this kind of fight as he will be getting paid big time while getting the honor in fighting a legendary boxer, Manny Pacquaio. Also, I'm sensing that Pacquiao has chose DK Yoo as a tune-up fight before he sets a bigger fight soon, still he has to test the water first to be safe even if it's just exhibition fight.

Well both of them will eventually get a huge sum of money from this not just DK Yoo, I really think that Pacquaio still wants the money just like other boxers like Mayweather, Mike Tyson, Hollifield, and MMA fighters like McGregor, Askren, Woodley, that Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather have established,  but as a retired fighter they can still used their skills in boxing in a sum up a huge amount of money even though they are already retired,

Yes and there it is Dana White doesn't care for Thiago Santos anymore, while Tony Ferguson is living the dream of still staying despite his 5 consecutive losses now, he will not get any privilege like that, while Santos really has a chance in the PFL in my opinion and who knows his experience in the UFC paid off, and he might become champion in a different MMA event,
With rate of signing new fighters in UFC from Contender Series I am sure Dana will lay off much more old fighters soon.
He is not signing one or two fighters, it's usually five fighters for one week and this people need to sign contracts for more fights.
Either they are planning to have much more events around the world, or Ferguson and guys like him are waiting to get one way exit ticket.

I would never be surprised if the UFC fighters could become congested, but maybe Dana White is planning something and the UFC got a list of older fighters that may retire about a year or so because most on the contender series Dana White mostly gives a contract to 5 to 4 fighters, I think this is a good opportunity for newer MMA fighters to be listed in the UFC, but I feel like there are fighters that might not get much attention because of this,



Now I think we have a fight today on LFA and it is between two lovely ladies, The LFA 142: Amorim vs. Nichols, here are my picks

Jaqueline Amorim VS Ashley Nichols

Because of the background of Jaqueline Amorim in her Brazilian Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Ashley Nichols has expertise in Muay Thai, this could be a deadly fight for the Muay Thai Practitioner, and Jaqueline Amorim can have an advantage on the ground, maybe she will force her way to the ground game,

Thomas Petersen VS Kory Moegenburg

For me, I think that Thomas Petersen has a good advantage in winning with a KO/TKO, but Kory Moegenburg is a BJJ practitioner so there is a chance that the fight may go to the ground but as a wrestler, I think Thomas Peterson has good takedown defense, so my pick will be Thomas Petersen,

We are now getting the Bundesliga Matchday 7 tomorrow and these are my picks for tomorrow's game,

FSV Mainz 05 VS Hertha BSC

Stake odds for this game are 1.73 for Mainz and 4.10 for a draw while 4.60 for Hertha, although the odds are higher for Mainz, I think I am trusting Hertha with the win or it could be a draw aswell, but for me, I am going with Hertha,

Borussia Dortmund VS FC Schalke 04

Stake odds for this game are 1.39 for Dortmund and 5.60 for a draw while 7.20 for Schalke, this game will surely be more agreeable for the Dortmund team, and likely I will surely side with Dortmund, for my pick, but will stay away from betting

Bayer 04 Leverkusen VS Werder Bremen

Stake odds for this game are 1.66 for Leverkusen and 4.40 for a draw while 4.70 for Werder, this game could be a draw this is just my guess but maybe I will go for a draw,

VfB Stuttgart VS Eintracht Frankfurt

Stake odds for this game are 2.34 for Stuttgart and 3.60 for a draw while 3.00 for Frankfurt, for this game I could go for Frankfurt and have the surprising win with them, I guess Frankfurt could surprise us against this game, and the odds are very close, so my pick will be Frankfurt,

FC Augsburg VS FC Bayern Munich

Stake odds for this game are 15.00 for Augsburg while 8.80 for a draw and 1.16 for Bayern Munich, This match doesn't need further explanation we all know that Bayern Munich will win this, but staying away from betting,

I have a feeling nothing will really come of it, it'll probably be a slight warning without any real major repercussions. I mean the fact that he wasn't punished for the weight issues was something to talk about. Apparently it was under the doctors recommendation, and his coach I believe claimed in an interview done by the UFC, that he was either passing out or nearly passing out. Obviously, somewhat paraphrasing there.

If that's true, he wouldn't have been sanctioned to fight. So, I do think they're making excuses a bit, and the way it panned out it was almost like it was planned. I'm not going to go down the route of excusing them of that, but it worked out almost perfectly, and within record time too. Usually, you don't get several fighters to agree to an opponent change so quickly.

Actually, after further thinking and what all of the UFC has been saying I surely dug deep and point out that all of this might actually be stage or planned by the UFC, they have done this because the Khamzat Chimaev VS Nate Diaz fight is actually not getting much pay preview because people don't want to see an iconic legend that is Nate Diaz be pummelled by a rising star guys that is Chimaev, so they have actually get Chimaev work up a plan to switch the fights because even though they have said that there will be an investigation on what has happened on UFC 279, there should be results now, but there is no given fine to the fighters, no punishment what so ever so this is truly been stage by the UFC, and I truly believe it now,


Song Yadong def didn't win vs Marlon Vera.  Watch the match again.  No way that was a unanimous decision for Song Yadong..  I think he even admitted to it after the event.

Marlon Vera vs Song Yadong
https://www.mma-core.com/videos/Song_Yadong_vs_Marlon_Vera_Full_Fight_UFC_on_ESPN_8_Part_1/10353007

But yeah I'm just saying it won't be as easy as some folks think for Song.  Sandhagen is durable, has more tools in his arsenal and he's been in 5 rounders vs two tough opponents.  Song could be like a fish out of water if the fight goes deep into R4 and R5...  Just my first impression of the match up.

I like Marlon Vera more than Song Yadong and that fight was really super close, that is why the judges have seen that Yadong won it but I think Marlon Vera has the edge in the later rounds because Marlon Vera would surely go slow on the 1st round he kind of feeling his opponent 1st because edging on him his pull potential but surely I have said that Yadong defeated Vera because of the result but this fight experience for Yadong is surely great for him to learn with his mistakes, that is why I like Song Yadong,

How tired I am of reading this set of stamps about the fact that Ronaldo is not a team player and blah blah blah. Basically, this nonsense is generated by his haters. Ronaldo is number one in assists in the Champions League. He probably did these passes because he was selfish and to set a record, right?  Grin
Here is a good selection of how Ronaldo's partners dispose of his most brilliant passes, if I were him, I would stop passing altogether:
https://twitter.com/patrickomife/status/1533849118329929729

Well, You caught me I do hate Ronaldo, Yeah his assisting skill is superb, to the extent that he surely missed an opportunity to score himself, or because of that, he decided he would do it himself, but I guess he doesn't want to be in the Manchester United is true, and no one wants him to be on any team could be a rumor, but I think I was upset that in seeing an article that he will switch to Bayern Munich end up just a rumor upsets me for saying such things, but who am I to judge,



Anyway, these are my picks for tomorrow's games for Premier Leagues,

Aston Villa FC VS Southampton FC

Stake odds for this game are 2.09 for Aston and 3.60 for Draw while 3.50 for Southampton, for getting a draw against Man City, is a great game actually so Aston Villa is my pick,

Nottingham Forest VS Fulham FC

Stake odds for this game are 2.80 for Nottingham, and 3.40 for Draw while 2.60 for Fulham, I think this could be a draw, this is just my hunch but I may be wrong aswell, but I will bet for a draw game,

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC VS Manchester City FC

The stake odds for this game are 8.80 for Wolverhampton, and 5.60 for Draw while 1.34 for Man City, this game is going to be one-sided, pointing out to the Man CIty but I am not betting for this game at all, but my pick are the Man City,

I am disappointed that UFC has lost Thiago Santos among light heavyweight fighters. He looked good in his last UFC fight, if not mistaken, they even got fight of the night award. He could have played role of a gate keeper or someone that can replace a fighter on a short notice. UFC light heavyweight division lack good fighters, no it has one fighter less. Light heavyweight PFL rooster isnt great either. Dunno where it is better to be... Anyway, I am glad that he has got a contract and not sitting on a bench.

Not a very great last fight on the UFC, for Thiago Santos, and his win over Johnny Walker doesn't really consider a win for me apparently Johnny Walker is also at fault in his loss, but he surely consider the advice of his corner but all I have seen is not the Johnny Walker that I know, full of feints and never the aggressive one that I used to watch, for me, Thiago Santos was just lucky I think that Johnny Walker should have won that fight,

For me, I think Thiago Santos made the right decision in leaving UFC, I think he doesn't want to be just a gate keeper he wants to push the boundaries of being a champion but if he can not get it in the UFC then it might be on the PFL,


Santos lost five from his last six fights in UFC and Dana White is not going to tolerate that unless you are Conor McGregor or someone like that Smiley
PFL might be a good option for Santos because he is not so young anymore with 38 years.

New Dana White Contender Series Week 8 is starting soon with five new fights and co-main event looks very interesting.
I didn't watch any of this fighters before but this could be one in the lifetime chance for them if they win.





Yes and there it is Dana White doesn't care for Thiago Santos anymore, while Tony Ferguson is living the dream of still staying despite his 5 consecutive losses now, he will not get any privilege like that, while Santos really has a chance in the PFL in my opinion and who knows his experience in the UFC paid off, and he might become champion in a different MMA event,

2568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 15, 2022, 03:32:55 PM

Actually Bayern have known for a long time because Robert Lewandowski before going to Barcelona he was Bayern Munich's best player so the Bayern Munich coach already knew the best way to withstand attacks from Robert Lewandowski, the mistake of Barcelona only relying on one person to score goals, they should have several players who have the same skill as Robert Lewandowski to be able to score goals when many teams from Bayern Munich surrounded Robert Lewandowski's movement.

And surely it is pretty much obvious that Barcelona will be relying on Lewandowski so much that they are rushing the goal, and because Bayern Munich knew Lewandowski for so long they know how to defend him, I think not a good plan for Barcelona to give the ball to Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich is quite familiar with Lewandowski and because they knew where the ball is heading they instantly defended the goal, while Barcelona can not keep up to Bayern Munich offense they are open on those 2 shots that Bayern Munich made,


Both teams were impressive and the outcome of Bayern vs Barca match isn't as bad as it used to be in previous seasons where the goal margin looks terrifying. Barcelona made the mistake of relying on Lewandoski for a goal knowing too well they were playing against his former club who has mastered his strength. Bayern made away with the 2 goal home victory who knows what will happen at camp Nou

I really don't know what kind of strategy Barcelona's coach was thinking Lewandowski is not effective against Bayern Munich, and pretty much they are used to him since he is basically from that club, the Barcelona coach needs to think of other tactics when facing Bayern Munich next time, I think this is just common knowledge that their new player Lewandowski will eventually be exposed by Bayern Munich,

I must be in the minority since I haven't really been all that impressed with Song Yadong, while Sandhagen has impressed me throughout his career. Obviously, I'm a bit of a Sandhagen fan, so there's a somewhat bias there.

I do think SandHagen will win this fight, and that's a decision or a knockout. I'd like to see some of those flying knees that we haven't really seen a whole lot of recently. I'm just looking forward to seeing Sandhagen back in the octagon. I'm not liking the odds though, I was hoping he would be given slightly better odds than he has been given.

I'll get my predictions out soon.

I also liked Cory Sandhagen and I am not a fan of Song Yadong but so I am just giving what I think of what may happen with this main event, and in actuality, I give my predictions on how Cory Sandhagen will win, and how Yadong will also win, but because of Song Yadong striking power I am siding with him, but it is still OK that we get a different opinion, as I have said Sandhagen can will this if the fight go the distance, and because Song Yadong is not a 5 rounder, and if you have seen his records most of his losses were from a decision match, and Sandhagen is good at feints if Song Yadong can be trick by those feints then its could surely go the distance, I will surely give my predictions for this fight aswell,


Khabib, Conor and other guys paid fines for that drama they've made (before the fight (bus attack) and after (eagle fly)). Dont know much about Conor, but Khabib apologised after that on public. He has lost temper, because people (Dillon and Co) hurt his religion and family. What Chimaev did ? Chimaev nearly managed to disrupted the event because he has got offended because he was called not a real gangster? And instead of apologising, smiled, showed middle fingers and drives smiling in his G wagon in Stockholm. What a douchebag.



Well, an investigation is still in the process until not proven guilty maybe Chimaev will escape this with just light punishment, although Khabib and his group have said they're sorry and were fine because of what they did, they still do something like this, and with Khabib Nurmagomedov's whole team that is all Muslim, I really don't want to say bad things about the Muslim religion, and I also have Muslim friends but if he could just talk to Chimaev on what happen or instead of judging him I think as a Muslim brother he surely know how to approach Khamzat Chimaev, he wasn't on the event for him to speak something like that, and let say that missed weight was all planned but because of that we have seen a good fight that is Nate Diaz VS Tony Ferguson, let's not look for only negative on what happened but the positive side as well,

It was not expected that Leipzig would win this match. I also bet on Dortmund to win this match. Because Leipzig's performance is not stable this season. They did not score full points even against weaker teams in several matches. Dortmund, on the other hand, were in a pretty good position.
Dortmund was defeated, and their performance was even more disappointing. I didn't think they would perform so badly. In the entire 90 minutes, they had only 5 shots and none of them was on target.
Perhaps Dortmund wants to do well in the Champions League match, so he did not consider the match against Leipzig important. However, we did not expect such a bad performance.
I can see this statistics that Dortmund playing poor and i think this one of the worst performance by Dortmund during this season because when against other teams Dortmund can playing well even while they lose from Bremen few weeks ago Dortmund statistics far to better from this but just like i said before the current manager of Leipzig is Marco Rose which is Dortmund former manager so he know how to counter Dortmund with very well and the result is as his expected that he can bring Leipzig to get 3 points from his debut match and besides that i am the one who bet for Leipzig before because i am sure Leipzig can win this match

Yup! the poorest performance for them versus Leipzig, but I am not really surprised because Leipzig was a great team maybe they need a little push to perform well, and with the new coach maybe it does help in making new tactics for them, but yeah this performance against Dortmund is something that they will surely remember because we all know what Marco Reus can do, but surely without Erling Haaland, Leipzig can really conquer the odds against Dortmund so I am not really surprise,

Bayern showed to everyone yesterday that despite the fact that Barcelona are in a great form,they can be defeated by a team like Bayern because they have strong record over them.Lewandowski left Bayern for Barca this season,but he was unable to record a goal against his former club.
He toiled throughout the night,but all to no avail,whereas Bayern believed that as long as they hold a record against them,they were going to win Barca again nomatter the form they are.
Barcelona strengthened their squad this season by bringing in players who can deliver the team,but that showed to us that they can still struggle against big teams this season.

I think because of the history Lewandowski has with the players of Bayern Munich they surely know Robert Lewandowski's weakness and his habits in striking the ball, I think they got a little key in stopping Lewandowski, I haven't seen the game but if will later because the game stats say that it was a close game, but Barcelona has the little edge but because Bayern Munich players know how Lewandowski work they got some answer for this, and Leroy Sane and Lucas Hernandez both got an unbelievable goal,

Base on that article, this is what Sarver did:
Quote
This conduct included the use of racially insensitive language; unequal treatment of female employees; sex-related statements and conduct; and harsh treatment of employees that on occasion constituted bullying.”
The league has no room for that kind of people. Even Lebron said that the NBA has no room for racist people, and I think we all agree with it. Well, the NBA already gave sanction to Sarver, and I just hope that he will learn from this one.


Many are saying that the penalty for Robert Sarver is very light a $10 million fine and suspension for a year, just a walk in the park for him, and they added that Sarver should get a heavy punishment and I think once a racist will always be racist, and his punishment should be like the one the Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling got, and that is a lifetime ban, which would be fairly fitting for Sarver, but then they explained that Sarver's case is different with the Sterling case that is why they will have different punishment which is I definitely don't understand,


And who knows, he might stay with the Lakers for the rest of the reason. So still he needed a house around Los Angeles.

That's up to the Lakers management, Westbook can choose to stay but what if the Lakers will think of trading him? I think the news about him selling his house is just pure business, it's not connected to him leaving LA soon.

Per se maybe this is the end of his career no one wants him anymore for me Russell Westbrook should not play like Russell Westbrook, I think he needs to make a transition in his plays he doesn't need to be like his old self if he wants to stay on the NBA for another season like Carmelo Anthony done, he transition himself to be defensive and at the same time an effective scorer if need, but he is not taking the spotlight to the superstar that can score more than he can,
2572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 15, 2022, 06:54:25 AM
He tried to do what he had to do at the same time and he won at some point in time but later on Pacman realized that he is not getting any younger and should only pick one fight at a time that's why he retired after he lost to Ugas and focused on politics as he is also busy at that time for the presidential election.

Now, that he almost got all the time in the world, and just like what we've speculated, Pacman is not coming back but on an exhibition fight.

I think Pacman also saw the potential in exhibition matches and how much he can be paid, for me even though he is already rich, he can not afford to go back to that same old lifestyle he used to be, and he doesn't want his child to experience that same lifestyle he has back when he is not a boxer yet, and surely he can not perform any charity work if he himself is low on expenses, for me, it is still a good thing that he can warp a good fight that is only for entertainment and money as well,


Well, they cannot do anything about that but accept their reality as it is really inevitable and they don't have to worry anything about retirement because they have spent their boxing years very well and have been successful in making their legacy, especially Canelo who became an undisputed boxer and a pound for pound king.

Though Golovkin already said that he won't retire yet regardless of the result in their trilogy but I'm thinking that 2 years will be already long before he retires while Canelo still has almost a decade left in his career before he starts considering to retire.



Good point, they will still continue, and because they haven't reached the peak of Manny Pacquiao's age yet so it is highly that we can still see them fight inside the ring, while Naoya Inoue has a very bright future ahead of him, and just a 29 years old boxer means he still got the potential to build and a high ceiling to improve, I wish that Naoya Inoue and Ryan Garcia to clash to really see who does have the strong killer punch, but because of their weight class this isn't possible but maybe in the future or some future exhibition,

I would say that mostly elder and reputed people from Dagestan and Chechnya are not fond of Chimaev behaviour. That is not what true Muslim should behave. Btw in Islam religion is even forbidden to fight (even though we have lots of fighters that follow Islam).

Khabib criticizes Chimaev’s failed weight cut at UFC 279: ‘There are no Muslims around him’. Here is a good article.

In Russian we have a quotation "Overcome the fire, water and copper pipes". This means to overcoming life difficulties. Fire and water symbolizes overcoming hard time, surviving hunger, diseases and etc. Copper pipes symbolizes fanfare - fame, popularity. Chimaev had hard childhood and had to migrate as a refugee to Sweden. That are his fire and water. But he has failed at cooper pipes.

Many YouTubers now are saying that Khamzat Chimaev has become from hero to villain, although Kevin Holland was the one who started it, Khabib Nurmagomedov has said that as a Muslim he should not do such things and Criticize Khamzat Chimaev's team because they are not 1 Muslim in it, but does he realizes what he did during UFC 229 after the fight with Conor McGregor he goes over the cage and goes to Dillon Danis  McGregor's Jui Jitsu Coach, and goes right into Dillon Danis, while his other teammates go for Conor McGregor, well I am a fan of Khabib and now Khamzat, and I really like their styles but for Khabib saying such things I really think he did the same, back on UFC 229, but after the fight, while Khamzat after the fight doesn't have any bad feeling towards Kevin Holland anymore and salutes him for taking the fight, well just saying, but I still love Khabib Nurmagomedov no matter what,


I don't like this low odds on Sandhagen to win, even if I think he is favorite there is no such big gap between him and Yadong Song.
Sandhagen maybe have slight reach advantage but he lost his last two fights in UFC against great opponents, and Yadong is on great run with three wins and two of them with KO.
I think there is high chance this fight is going to distance with all five rounds, and win can go both sides.

Well, for me anything is possible I may have favored Song Yadong on this but still, there is still a chance for Cory Sandhagen to win here if he utilized more to his advantage keeping the fight the distance because if the fight goes the distance that will be Song Yadong's weakness will show, all of his lost was via Decision and fairly enough he would not last on a long round fight, and the only 5 round fight he gets was versus Renat Ondar back in his WLF World Championship, and he lost by decision, so this could fairly favor for Cory Sandhagen if the fight goes the distance, but for me, I would go with Song Yadong here I think his team already know about this problem and I think Song Yadong is also training for this fight aswell,

My prediction happened and that's for Williams to be an offensive weapon again but it's not enough because other players didn't have the same night.
They all need to contribute to achieving a win, especially on the defensive end. I didn't see that in Game 2.

Game 3 will be Connecticut Sun home and I hope this will boost their confidence back as the fans will be on their side.
Last chance, play harder, every play and second counts or they will be missing a big opportunity to be a champion. Put the series at 5.

This is the finals and the Connecticut Sun better pull themselves together, they can not afford to be Sweep by the Las Vegas Aces In the finals, so I think they will not let this 3rd game be a win for the Aces, but a win for them, I would also go for the Connecticut Sun, I know that 1 more win for the Las Vegas Aces and they will surely be won here and they surely don't feel pressure anymore while the Connecticut Sun needs to be ready for this and prepare for their revenge,

Connecticut Sun VS Las Vegas Aces

Pretty much the Aces are on the last game now, they will eventually go with the same strategy because it is really effective for the Sun, while the Sun is really struggling to make a comeback I think the other players would likely need their impact with the game, because Courtney Williams can not handle it alone, but I think this is it, I will be risking it for the Connecticut Sun 1 last time,

He can always have any exhibition fight after his pro boxing career is over and this guy is a truly charitable person who always wanted to help. One of his ways is becoming to get into politics to further help others in need. Anyway, his era is over and we are now living in a different era where names like Inoue, Canelo and Haney, and others are the talks in the boxing industry. next Saturday will be a huge fight that will be one of the historical fights this year can't really wait for that. Canelo vs GGG III will finally happen.

Sad to say but both Canelo Alvarez 32 years old and Gennadiy Golovkin GGG 40 years old are near Manny Pacquiao's age, especially GGG, so I think for a couple of years and they will eventually need to retire at some point because their age is catching up to their speed, power, and durability, but surely it is their own choice if they still want to fight then they can,


Manny is no longer in his prime, what we have is just memories of those run when he was in top of the game for many years. No one can escape Father time not even the great and elite fighters. At least when he lost to Ugas, he knows when to stop and focus on other matters like the PH Presidential election in which he lost badly. And then the news of his return thru exhibition match against a South korean if I'm not mistaken.

Well, all of those boxers will eventually fall, victims to that, getting older and past their prime, kind of thing, and next in line could be GGG or Canelo, but certainly, fans want to see more of them inside the ring but eventually, they can not escape faith,

Well, you are saying DK Yoo, the South Korean, Martial Artist, Youtuber, Bruce Lee Wannabe, and amateur Boxer Wannabe fighter that is about to take on an 8 division champion boxer Manny Pacquiao this guy is totally screwed but at least there is a ton of money involved here when the fight is finished,

For this rumor to become true, a lot of "ifs" need to converge. If Ronaldo still becomes unnecessary for Manchester United, then they will want to sell him, if the price of Ronaldo drops significantly due to a bad game, then perhaps Bayern will consider this transfer, but I doubt it, because his age for football is on the verge. Moreover, Bayern already once answered these rumors that they were not interested in Ranaldo.

Well, even though it is just rumors I think that the real deal is no one wants Cristiano Ronaldo, well surely because of significant cost and his age, then some if up with his antics that he doesn't really want to be in the Manchester United, well if we speak of professionalism then that is what other clubs see on not wanting him, but if the price is right as just you have implied maybe we can see him outside of Manchester United in no time, because as I can see the Manchester United really doesn't benefit from him anymore, they need that money on selling him getting better and younger ballers,

Queen Elizabeth's funeral will take place on the 19th and as such, whether all matches will be postponed again and even tomorrow or mid-week are matches for European tournaments such as the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. Previously I heard that the match for the European tournament would still be held but after getting information about the funeral that will be held on the 19th, I am pretty sure the match might be postponed again. But it is possible that only matches for local leagues will be postponed, meanwhile I hope that matches in European tournaments are not postponed.

Well, it will surely continue with respect to the queen, but because of the many postponements of the game in all of England and may come in Europes, that is why I surely come back to Germany to just watch Bundesliga and Bundesliga II, to kill some time and the level of competition is really switching little by little, now,

The Sun has done everything they needed to do to defeat the Aces in Game 1. They outrebounded the Aces, 13-6 in offensive rebounds. They also limited their shooting from the deep to just 5 out of 24. The Suns slowed the game and limited the Aces to 58 field goal attempts which are the lowest of the Aces in regular and playoffs. All of these and the Aces still manage to win the game by 3 points. It is a small lead, but it means a lot. The Aces were able to nullify the efforts of the Suns. And a win in a best of 5 series matters a lot.

I am taking the Aces to win Game 2 of this series. They will continue to implement the small ball and if they are able to find their shots in the deep, the Suns will be in big trouble.

I am taking the under this time. The Aces will try to get a good shooting performance in this game, but the Suns will also try to slow down the game with their bigs and their defense. This will be a low-scoring game like the first game.

Well you are right with your speculation and the Las Vegas Aces really did it again, but this time limiting the Connecticut Sun in the 1st quarter and the 2nd quarter, for me defensive wise the Las Vegas Aces really is pulling that trick on the Sun, while the Connecticut Sun pretty much their defense was open and penetrated so easily by the Aces, so I think they need to get into this so they can see what are they lacking, pretty much I don't want to get to another boat just because the Aces got their 2 leads, but on the 3rd game they are switching court so let's see if the Connecticut Sun will improve on their home court, which is I doubt, but we will never see,

Here is the result of the game now, for the finals of the WNBA

Las Vegas Aces VS Connecticut Sun SCORE 85 - 71 - PICK LOST

pretty much the Las Vegas Aces have easily penetrated the defense of the Connecticut Sun, pretty much even though it is a close game the Aces really did great and dominates the offense, Jonquel Jones got a double-double performance of 11 rebounds and 16 points, and Alyssa Thomas has 13 points, Brionna Jones has 12, while Courtney Williams has 18 points, for the Connecticut Sun, but it was not enough because the Las Vegas Aces, has shut down the Sun, A'ja Wilson has double-double Performance of 10 rebounds and 26 points, Kelsey Plum has 20 points while Chelsea Gray had 21 points that surely becomes an incredible win for the Aces,

and Sadio Mane can not handle the pressure that Lewandowski has established,
Mane and Lewandowski are two completely different footballers, i don't think Sadio Mane is a striker, yeah he can play in the number 9 position, but he feels more comfortable coming from the flanks like he did in Liverpool, Lewandoski is a number 9, a player that was created to score goals, just look at his stats, there is no comparison between Lewandowski and Sadio Mane when it comes to scoring goals, so it is not about Mane not being able to handle any pressure, you shouldn't expect him to recreate Lewandowski's numbers in front of goal, he has his other stronger areas.

I am totally not comparing the two, I am comparing Bayern Munich now to the Bayern Munich that still has Lewandowski, and if you went and read my whole post you can see that I have said that Bayern Munich is pushing Sadio Mane to be like Robert Lewandowski, and I think that is impossible, right now Bayern Munich is not in a great spot, they are a great team without Lewandowski but they are lacking something and the coach Nagelsmann all of his plays was pertaining for Lewandowski and not as a Bayern Team, and I think he needs to rethink new innovative ways he can usefully use Sadio Mane, and even Jamal Musiala, in their own expertise,

They also managed to thwart a lot of bets but even though it was a bad result for them, at least this kind of result remains interesting because apart from the match being difficult to predict at least their competition has also become more competitive. Although indeed, at the end of the season I'm sure his position will not have much change from the previous seasons. But regarding the surprising week, I think their defeat might be because they are preparing for the Champions League match. In the middle of this week they will play against strong teams like Bayern Munich who will play against Barcelona and Dortmund who will play against Manchester City. This factor can still happen, but considering they are the top team in the Bundesliga, they should still be able to overcome the match with the expected victory.

We could be more shocked at the end of this season because seeing this match result I think the other teams are getting Bayern Munich's weakness they are more familiar with Bayern Munich now, than with Bayern Munich with Lewandowski on them, I feel like there could be a new club champion when the season ends if Bayern Munich can not pull this up on the next match, next Match for Bayern Munich will be Augsburg and pretty much I think this is an easy match for them, but if it ends up in a loss of a draw then I think Julian Nagelsmann should give up on being a coach, because I have seen an article that Bayern Munich Players is not happy with Nagelsmann's tactics,

True but how hard a fighter hits is just one part of the equation.  There's also other stuff like fight IQ, strength of schedule, experience, etc.. etc.  And Sandhagen is a pretty good fighter.  Another thing is remember, this is for 5 rounds.  I don't think Song Yadong has fought 5 rounds before.  And sure he def has a chance to win it but I think the current line for both fighters is fair.

Anyway, here's the Multi Master.

UFC Fight Night 210 - Multi Master
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5413434.0

I know that Cory Sandhagen got some fight IQ, but what if he fights a similar fighter with the same fight IQ, I am not underestimating Sandhagen, in actuality I have bet for him at some point, but it all goes away, and in fact, I truly believe that he won against TJ Dillashaw, but against Petr Yan that is a different story, and for me Song Yadong also have that fight IQ, he defeated Marlon Vera, and now Marlon Moraes and I think he has the punching power that Sandhagen can not withstand,

Updated on the UFC 279 fiasco, here is some Footage on what is happening backstage, Li Jingliang said that he was backstage when the altercation happen he said that Khamzat Chimaev was just friendly and saying hi to other he said hi to Jingliang, and then when Kevin Holland turn comes Kevin Holland think it was not a positive gesture, so he pushed Chimaev and then he said that Chimaev didn't give a shit at 1st, then Holland when out with D Rod, for the press conference, but when Holland comes back Chimaev then kick Holland then the brawl started that is when The Leech hold on to Chimaev and said it is not time, the video is not really full and we can not see that Jingliang has calm down Chimaev, Then Diaz and his group when in to throw bottle water at Chimaev,

Meanwhile, Robert Whittaker said that when Chimaev said that he wants to train with Robert Whittaker, Whittaker replied absolutely and then can surely hunt some bad guys together,
