Manny has nothing to lose in this fight and win or lose against Spence, the interest of Garcia to fight Manny will not drop as it will always be a money-fight regardless of the outcome of the Spence fight.

I wonder if Manny could still focus on his training with this recent spat with the President of the Philippines. This recent issue had an effect on his popularity as a politician and also a little bit as a boxer as the focus will not be the same when he has nothing to worry about back in his homeland.

True, but fighting Casimero is very dangerous that it might ruin his plan for a rematch with Inoue. With the link below it seems that the Donaire's camp is no longer interested in fighting Quadro Alas because Top Rank big boss have promised Donaire that it could give him the Inoue rematch directly.

Might be a tough hill to climb but them winning game5, winning the WCF is not a slim possibility.

As what have stadus pointed out that the Clippers was not totally dominated by the Suns in this series and it could have been a 3-2 lead for the Clippers if those FT's in game2 went in.

Clippers will be playing at home with Kawhi possibly playing so it might be a morale booster for them and a possible game7 would put the Suns in a pressure cooker which i don't know if they can handle.

This series turned out to be an exciting one even if Kawhi is out  .

From what I've understood in the article, Paradigm Sports would not sue Manny if only he fights Mayweather or the two will have a rematch.

Clearly, this is a way for Paradigm to disrupt this fight and possibly milk some money out of the Pacman camp.

This issue has already reached the camp of the Filipino camp and they said that this lawsuit will not win against them, hopefully.

I think it's not compulsory in every fight as some fighters AFAIK don't go with that process. That would only be required if the other camp would want that they will be tested before the fight, correct me if I'm wrong.

In the case of Mayweather vs Pacman, the former initiated or asked the commission that they will be tested by random and in a surprising manner.

I don't think that the fight will be canceled because of this issue because neither fighter is doing this doping thing.

Boxing in the US is starting to become normal once again and I think the promoters will be making up for the lost time and money  .

As what had Teofimo Sr said during the interview, they would love to make the fight this December so this will be the second biggest fight of the year next to Manny vs Spence.

About the odds, I'm incline to believe that it would still be Loma who will be put as the favorite with the recent performance he have against Nakatani. Lopez was having a hard time disposing of the tough Japanese while Loma seems to have an easier time dismantling him. Could this be the gauge on who will be the favorite this time around?  

Yeah, those free throws really cost them this series but I still give the Clippers a fighting chance this game5 with the way they play game 4. It could have gone to their side if only they shoot a high percentage in the first half of that game. Even though they are down by a double-digit but still they made it close in the dying seconds. Besides it is hard to close out a series as they always say so with the current odds the Clippers are in, I'm rooting for them to extend this series to six games.

I think it is the norm of our society as Filipinos that we should be conservative and you are right, PBA players are human too that can commit mistakes.

What happened in their personal life is theirs to take but in the Philippines, that's a big scoop for the media that can generate a million views so it's hard to pass up hehe.

In the NBA, there are things like those (attached link) but it is not a big deal for them.

This is a result of the greediness of some of the people that surrounded Pacquaio. Not a good in the promotion of the upcoming fight with Spence but with the amount of money involve in this fight, I think Paradigm will agree to a settlement and Pacman's money will be less than expected.

Due to Manny's forgiving personality, he is prone to abuse to greedy people who want to exploit him.

I'm for Loma but I lost my bet here since I'm expecting a decision win by Loma but nevertheless I'm happy with the performance shown here by the former ranked number 1 P4P. Nakatani is a very tough fighter but Loma's left straight did the damage to him.

Hope Lopez will take care of Kambosos so we can see a rematch in the yea end or if not, next year as it would be the next big fight in the smaller division.

@Baofeng, congrats bro.

IMO, I don't think he was slow, he was just cautious and giving too much respect to Lopez that is why Lopez got most of the rounds in the early stage of that fight but I still do think that it's not a convincing win by Lopes. That fight could go either way, depending on the judges.

Today's fight is just anything roadblock for Loma to redeem himself and have that rematch with Lopez and I think he will have no problem getting it done.

A rematch with Lopez is a big fight this year, next to Manny vs Spence.

I've lost my bet on game3 as I thought that a Chris Paul comeback would bring more problems for the Clippers but I'm wrong, playoff Paul George did show up and had a monster game3. I'm just going to tail you guys and won't waste any time thinking on whose gonna win tonight hehe.

So, if approve then we could see the start of the 46th PBA this coming July and the good news is if you vaccinated then you can watch the game live in the venue just like in the NBA.

I think no more bubble set-up for the PBA this as it's very costly to operate, they will just wait for the vaccination to roll out and will even use its players to convince people to be vaccinated for us to be safe from covid and we will be back to normal once again if 70 percent of the population are vaccinated.  

Unfortunately, there is none as of the moment mate. The crack site that I used to follow for boxing live streams is not updated and it seems they were taken down  .

In fights like this, I search on FB if there is someone who broadcast the fight live.

I have now pulled the trigger, Loma by Decision @2.06  .

Good luck to all and let's enjoy this Loma comeback.

I do hope that the injuries that he have on the Lopez fight have fully healed now as to not give excuses if ever an upset may occur but I doubt it will happen  .

Below are some options on how to bet for the upcoming fight and I will go with Loma via Decision as that Japanese is a tough nut to crack and that odds is attractive enough AFAIC.

There's an article on the FB page of somebody that posted all about PBA and he said that in a few days, IATF will tackle the plea of the PBA commissioner's office about the possible opening next month. I just forget where that page is but I think there is some truth to it as NCR is now declared a low risk area so restrictions will also ease up.

Don't be bored mate, there's still the ongoing NBA playoffs happening. 

What's with the Hawks that made them win games in the playoffs  ? On paper, they seemed the huge underdog because of the lack of size but it does not translate correctly on the court that is why i'm losing some coins betting against them lol.


With CP3's expected return on game3, i think the Clippers would be in trouble as the Suns backcourt general could dismantle them sans Kawhi Leonard. Game2 was the best time for the Clippers to win against the Suns but they blew that up.

With the current odds, i'm rooting for the Suns to put the Clippers in the 0-3 hole.

Most probably, that would be the case, Donaire will be the favorite to win this fight as he is more popular than Casimero and with his recent win against Oubaali, his stocks went a little notch north.

Personally, i'm for Casimero's side here because if he wins against Donaire then Inoue would be having a hard time against him while if it's against Donaire, he would have an easier fight because he has now the experience of how the latter fight and would adjust where necessary to win convincingly.

If you look at the social media, there's a spat going on between Quadro Alas and the Filipino Flash that could fuel to this fight and somehow sell to those who are following them.

Height-wise, I think the Gilas cadets now are at par with the current Chinese roster and I'm too is surprised with their recent performance against China. Though it's only a tune-up game still it boosts the morale and confidence of these young cagers.

There are players from both sides that didn't suit for that game because it's only an exhibition match, the only thing that the cadets gained from that is the experience that they have played against a powerhouse of Asia because they might not meet them in the qualifiers.

That was a low-scoring game as defense on Booker is intense but still, they won via that alley-oop to DA.

Damn, I could not believe that a superstar's knees would buckle under pressure, missing two clutch free throws that could have sealed the win for the Clippers, I think this will haunt Paul George if they will lose the series  .
