The issue of boxing judges being biased is very common. I don't think they are scared of being bashed by the boxing community. I think they are receiving a lot of money and other gifts once they rigged a fight in favor of the cash cow or the superstar or the hometown fighter or the promoter's fighter or the A-side fighter. And they are probably more scared if their scores favor a nobody, especially in a close fight because chances are they will be avoided the next time.

It's always the A-side, the cash cows, the influential promoters, the superstars, and the hometown fighters that dictate boxing events. State boxing commissions especially in Texas are very corrupt and boxing sanctioning organizations, especially the WBA and WBC are prone to corruption too, favoring money over honor. I think the mafia or the underground movement also has to do with this. Canelo clearly lost against the superstar Floyd Mayweather but still got a draw on 1 judge scorecard. I haven't scored the Canelo-Lara fight but I hear a lot of hardcore boxing fans say the latter was robbed. I scored the Canelo-Bivol fight and there's no way the former won five rounds.

Although I picked Canelo by KO in the survey, my heart is with GGG as always. I just always follow my head rather than my heart when it comes to betting and predicting. I will have no bet in this fight so I would be happy if my prediction fails.

It's great to see Pereira getting his title shot with only a few UFC fights. There is no need to have a 5 or more win streak in the UFC to get a title shot. I would love to see Shavkat Rakhmonov fighting a top 5 in his next fight and be given a title fight next year.

Back into the fight. Izzy became a better fighter in the UFC but I still believe Pereira is the bigger and stronger guy. My bet is on Pereira. 

Danny Garcia lost to Spence by decision so that's probably the reason why he is crediting Spence a lot. It's like, he is still a force to reckon with because he lost to the best guy in the division. Though I seldom read nor hear any interviews from Danny Garcia and his twat dad, I did follow his career even before he became a world champion. He and especially his dad always feel they are the center of the boxing world.

The better way to listen to or read an analysis IMO is from Kell Brook and Shawn Porter as both fought Spence and Crawford. Timothy Bradley haven't faced Crawford and Spence but I do like his non biased analysis too. I'll bet all these 3 fighters will probably say Crawford is way way better than Spence if asked between the two.

So far there are only 4 who voted for Kambosos out of 24 that cast their votes in the survey. I am thinking what's the analysis of those 4 Kambosos voters? I voted for Haney due to his skills but I'm also happy if ever Kambosos wins because it means that the fight is not boring.

Betting odds aren't available in the bookie yet. But I am expecting Kambosos to be at a minimum of 3.0. So it may not be worth betting on Haney except for big amounts or picking a decision might also give a decent 1.30 something. 

I there anybody here that had a good win streak so far in Arlington Majors? Maybe I can mirror-bet. I was winless on the first day. I thought Fnatic had a good run and will beat OG in the second map. And what is wrong with EG. It is their home court and they need to step up. They will drop outside of the top 12 DPC ranking if they cannot perform decently. I'm surprised with Team Aster's performance, they're still undefeated so far.

By the way, are the teams with substitutions allowed to earn DPC points in this tournament?

I expect major changes in their roster if they failed to qualify in TI. Although I believe they still can participate in TI. But I also want EG to try something different next season like getting rid of Bulba and Fly and then look for replacements.

SEA always has 3 slots in the majors while NA only has 2. That says it all. But well, at least North America had 1 championship in TI, unlike the other regions. And NA is becoming more competitive again.   

I don't even know how Donaire can make it into the superfly limit. Seems impossible, but if he can make it then there's also the chance that he becomes champion again. He is old but his power is always his equalizer in the lower divisions. And if he becomes a champion at superfly, that would make him a 5 division champion which is very rare in boxing.

122 can take Donaire's power, this is the division where his prime started to score decisions rather than knockouts. WBA and IBF champion Akhmadaliev will KO Donaire. And WBO and WBC champion Stephen Fulton will school Donaire in 12 rounds.

I hope he retires for good. Maybe he should just start coaching if he still wants to continue his career in boxing. 

Bitcoin's volatility makes it hard to become a daily currency, especially in small amounts of transactions. But Bitcoin is still a decade-year-old currency and is becoming more popular day by day. The time will come when its price will stabilize.

And Bitcoin becoming a legal tender doesn't mean making local currencies disappear. Bitcoin will become another currency option which is would be great knowing we can use a decentralized currency.

I don't know why Dragic has not signed with the Dallas Mavericks. It's not like he is an expensive player anymore that is hard to acquire. It could be that the Dallas Mavericks' management prefers younger players to complete their roster. Although I still pick Dragic since he is very experienced and can share it with the younger players and his chemistry with Luka would be superb.

Dragic is now officially with the Chicago Bulls. And with young Lonzo Ball and Coby White, that's a team that would probably not give Dragic enough playing time. Dragic will become a mentor in Chicago although they might need him on the floor during playoffs.

That's pretty cool. I love DOTA 2 and I love EG as well. They are off to a bad start and I really really want them to start winning in their next games in order to secure a slot at The International. I cannot imagine TI without EG.

Maybe @Bitcasino.io Support can reserve us some or at least one signed EG jersey exclusive to bitcointalk participants only. That would be a great remembrance from Bitcasino and EG. 

Another one that learned the hard way. Because the reality is there is no such thing as easy money. Gambling winnings may look easy but there is a huge risk too. The money we bet is the hard-earned money and in gambling, we may lose or win, there are no guarantees. I may tell a friend to gamble but only if that person is financially and mentally stable. There are people that have a revenge attitude when losing a bet, and that's not a good trait of a responsible gambler.  

I would really love to see Teofimo losing again, much better if by knockout. That would silence the hype on him including his annoying dad. 

If I'm going to pick a bet, i'd rather take a small bet on Campa.

The bad thing about cherry-picking or fighting a nobody is it affects the betting odds huge discrepancy. How I wish tune-ups like this are only shown as undercards on championship fights. This should be an undercard in Australia's Haney-Kambosos rematch.

At present, I say I am struggling with my finances. But I still continue gambling, although with certain limitations. Gambling is part of my life and I understand how it works. Now if my girlfriend would asks me to stop gambling, I prefer to convince her first that it is not affecting my daily life and I'm doing it minimally. I might listen and comply if her reasoning to stop gambling is logical but if it's based on certain beliefs then most likely I will not stop gambling.   

Amanda Nunes' was on crutches during the post-fight conference. I was surprised her face was badly busted too especially one of her eyes. It was a dominating win but I disagree that she could've finished Julianna but preferred to go full five rounds to prove she's better. It's pretty clear that Amanda fought smart and was careful in the first two rounds. She only started with her aggressive takedowns when Julianna was diminished and with a bloodied face. She cannot stop Julianna. And I agree with Belal Muhammad that Amanda was just being arrogant with her talking. I hope Shevchenko is really next in order to settle their controversial past.

Duncan Robinson failed its expectations of becoming Miami's version of Splash brothers together with Tyler Herro. He obviously needs to work with his defense and including his offense too. He is a trading piece for Miami Heat but the problem is his salary which is too high and it will be difficult to find a trade partner without risking other players or future draft picks.

The Miami Heat cannot reach the eastern conference this season without roster changes. They lost P.J. Tucker and they gained nothing so far except that they are possible to take KD and Mitchell.

It is so difficult to blame Crawford for stalling this fight. I'll try to remember all the stuff since the boogeyman entered the welterweight division. It's always Crawford doing the challenging.  

1. When Crawford was then the undisputed champion at super-lightweight he said he will move up and will take Spence's IBF welterweight belt. Spence told Crawford to get a belt at welterweight first.  

2. Crawford arrived in the welterweight division and became champion. He and Bob Arum were already talking openly that they wanted Spence. Did you guys heard any tweets or interviews on Spence or even with his handler PBC challenging Crawford?

3. There was a certain event wherein Crawford personally approached Spence. Who's challenging for a fight? Who's challenging for a million-dollar beat? Spence mentioned names to fight like Mikey Garcia, Porter, and Thurman. And I love how Crawford tells him he missed mentioning his name. It's clear as day that Crawford was too confident, he was laughing and was always staring at Spence. Spence on the other hand seemed uncomfortable and was like faking his smile. Spence seemed scared and was like hoping to get out of the situation.

4. Crawford and Bob Arum were trying to negotiate and were very open in the public about it. Later Bob Arum was mad because there was no response on their offers nor counter offers from PBC.

5. Spence was in the building during Crawford's last fight against Porter. People were expecting him to climb the ring after the fight and set a direct challenge to the winner. Spence already beat Porter but in a controversial split decision. On the other hand, the boogeyman demolished Porter for the first time and sent him into retirement. Spence immediately left the building after the fight was stopped and was booed by the fans. Spence probably expected Porter to win or at least made the fight close, but there is no escaping once the boogeyman starts to figure out its opponent. So basically it really seems that Spence is avoiding and is scared to even face or talk or look Bud in the eye.

6. Crawford is inactive for nearly a year already. Because PBC, Showtime, and probably including Mayweather saying it's about time to make the Spence fight.

7. Crawford is turning 35 this October.

Kell Brook and Shaw Porter were the common opponents both stars already faced. Spence struggled against both fighters while Crawford dismantled them.

Curious lang. Meron ba dito sa inyo dito naglalaro ng NBA Fantasy sa ESPN or Yahoo? Baka meron pa kayong available slot, sali ako. Pero mas trip ko yung 16 teams para mas exciting at hindi puro superstars ang line-up. Saktong-saktong mag-organize ngayon dahil malapit na din mag-October. Puno na kasi liga nung tropa ko at tapos na din raffle nila para sa picks.

Nakakatawa nga yung isang tropa ko dun, second pick raw sa kanya. Undecided sino raw mas maganda stats Giannis, Jokic or Luka.

Well, it's for promotional purposes. Most of them will only show basic routines. Although it also depends on confidence, I won't be surprised if Teofimo will not care which sessions are recorded and will go for public consumption even before the fight due to his arrogance. And Teofimo is also fighting a no-named opponent and he might have underestimated Campa here. But there's also the possibility that the sessions shown are meant to mislead the other camp.

One more day before PGL Arlington Major starts. I feel bad for Fnatic. They are yet to officially announce their needed 3-player stand-ins.

Another thing. I was surprised to see a new name representing North America. Did Quincy Crew disband or did they just rename it into Soniqs since all players are the same? I already forgot Valve's ruling on players leaving for another team. There are a lot of stand-ins in this last major and I can't wait to see how it works. 

It is very possible for Singapore to become a major bitcoin hub because they are highly developed and they seem to have everything in places like a huge airport that connects to nearly every place around the world, fast internet, and it's also one of the top financial hubs in the world. 

There's still a huge difference between El Salvador and Singapore. El Salvador though not economically rich, it officially recognized bitcoin as a legal tender making it a very healthy nation for bitcoin investors and believers.
