As for me, we should just let them do what they want. If at some point they experienced terrible losses and they feel their body is not cooperating now, they will retire right away without any hesitations. And even for let's say they want to continue, the promoters or organizers might not be interested now to form a fight and that will lead that old boxer to consider retiring and call it a career.

Definitely they can decide for themselves since it is their body.  Only the owner of the body can decide for himself even though it is obvious that retirement is due.

Just like what goinmerry said, there would be no interested organizers or other parties to make the fight happen even though these fighters still wanted to fight because they are afraid that the fight will not be a blockbuster nor will be profitable for them. But if at any point they will be granted a fight because there's some interested to make the fight happen then I guess by that we will see if for example Nonito Donaire made the right choice instead of retiring.

Kaya lang ang bigat eh Tatum at Brown, so KD at Marcus Smart sa Boston hehehe. Yun nga eh winalis sila ng Boston last playoff at ngayon gusto ni Durant lumipat dun, sounds familiar hehehehe.

At ang bet ko nga dyan, paglaruin muna si Durant ng Nets then saka i trade siguro. Depende din kasi sa lalaruin ng ibang superstars, kung panget ang laro nila eh baka pumayag na rin.

Yan din mismo ang nakikita ko na sitwasyon na mananatili muna si Durant sa Nets lalo na ngayon na malapit ng magsimula nag laro sa 22-23 season, malalaman natin yan sa susunod na mga buwan kasi ang ibang team ay nag o-observe lang din sa roster nila kung maganda nga bang kunin si Durant kahit mabigat ang kapalit. Worth it din naman kasi kunin si Durant kaya nga lang di nila matansya ng maayos kasi alam din nila na aalis din naman si Durant kung sakaling di magiging maganda ang takbo ng team.

There's no more excuse for them as they have the big 3 now.
Durant, Irving, Simmons.
This big 3 is strong enough to bring this team into the championship, the only problem is their chemistry and the two superstars passion to play as they have asked to be traded, hopefully that will not affect their performance in the season to come.
Yes in papers they are big 3, but for sure you know that problem right? It's not just the chemistry but the whole attitude, Durant requested to be traded, he thinks he has in control, same with Kyrie, doesn't want to get vaccinated, the team suffers and come play-off time, this 2 disappears. The the drama queen Ben Simmons, can he still play next season? There are more questions right now in terms of the whole Nets organization, everything is not on the same page.

On paper, this team does not have any problems. But in reality, the players we call the big 3 are actually causing some problems. There is no doubt that Durant's request to be traded is the biggest problem with the team right now. A player requesting to play for another team but eventually staying is not a positive sign at all. There will be a lot of variables that might effect his gameplay after this.

It seems to me that Kyrie's problem is not that big of a deal since at least he doesn't have any problems playing for the team, doesn't he?

I bet the rest of the Brooklyn Nets roster is now having some doubts against KD as he might be not reliable enough just like the last season where he carried most of the load that made the team cross the playoffs. A player requesting a trade is really bad sign if that player still ends up playing the same team next season because the demand has not been meet by other teams and that's the situation of the Nets now.

Kyrie on the other hand doesn't have any problem at all and actually he said that he will stay and play for the Nets even if KD is not around with them anymore.

I don't think it's doubt, it's more of the team losing their trust on KD already. It's a big let down to hear from him wanting a trade or having their coach fired. And there could be more locker room drama specially if there will be close call or if they choke a game.

I'm not sure of Kyrie as well, if I'm not mistaken, I have read that the Nets are also tired of his antics. So they might as well trade him before training camp starts.

For wanting only to win to get a credits under his name that's what make them losing their trust to KD and his latest controversy what makes him a toxic to their team that's why I guess its better for their organization to let go of him and try their existing stars to make out next season or better rebuild since for sure they can get another star which can  possibly fit to them in exchange with KD and irving.

That is still debatable because it really looks like Irving and Durant will wear the same jersey this upcoming season as teams in NBA will likely start their training camp by the end of this month. But I guess Irving has more chance to be traded than Durant because I remember that the Nets is interested to get Howard and the Lakers is also working to have Irving, so Howard might be included in the package with Westbrook just to get Irving.
2784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 18, 2022, 03:43:49 PM
I already anticipated that Canelo will still be the favorite in the bookies list this time but I expect that this time, Canelo won't have some help from the judges because this might be their final match, so a just and clean fight is really needed this time especially for GGG's situation.

But if Canelo will win this time then he can chose to move down or move up and challenge any boxer in light-heavy before he decides to have a rematch against Bivol as Bivol already said that he's not interesting to fight Canelo in a non-title fight.

Bivol may not agree to a fight against Canelo in the United States. Because his payment for the last fight is still blocked due to the sanctions against Russia. He may prefer fighting in the Middle East, but that may be unacceptable and financially unviable for Canelo. Bivol needs to fight in the United States, if there is a mandatory title challenge. But he is not going to do that for non-title fights. And I don't see a clear solution here. Bivol may not get any payment if he takes part in any activity inside the US. Another solution would be to move the fight to Mexico. I guess Canelo would be OK with that?

Is that right? Didn't know about that at all because I thought that the boxing industry got that cleared including the issues of the fight that won't be sanctioned because of the ongoing war between Russia against Ukraine.

Well, if that is the issue right there then Bivol shouldn't agree to have a rematch with Canelo (if that will happen soon) if the fight will take place again on US soil. Mexico or somewhere in UAE will still be favorable for the both parties as I think money will always follow Canelo.

Seems to be that the Middle East is the preferred destinations of most fight, the Usyk vs Joshua will be in Saudi.

So it make sense if ever Bivol will reconsider a rematch with Canelo, it could be good venue for the fight.

However, it's up to Canelo, he need to win against GGG first and we will see what will the plan. If he is chasing for a 5th world title then Cruiserweight could be his next, but who knows, if the money is right for a Bivol fight and then probably it will be their best shot.

Middle East is more suitable because it is a neutral place to fight for the both boxers rather than fighting again in American soil where Bivol might face the same situation he had in their first encounter.

But a cruiserweight fight for Canelo might be too much for him as we already saw his performance in light-heavy, I mean what's more if he will fight in cruiserweight? He might be strong but his moves will be much calculated by his foes as he won't be that fast enough in cruiserweight. Anyway, let's see Canelo's decision after this trilogy.
2785  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: August 18, 2022, 02:58:42 PM
I'm still waiting for the announcement if they have already reached an agreement. It's been weeks but still no report from the media. I hope they will reach an agreement soon, perhaps this coming ber months. I don't why Terence Crawford is hard to get regarding the percentage of the money. If I'm Crawford I'll humbly ask 40-60 of the money, beat the shit out of Spence, demand a rematch then appeal for a 70-30 on the contract, ez money. 
We have seen the updates already, although not official, but it is a reliable and good source as where the negotiations is heading. It not Terrence Crawford that is trying to 'hard to get', in my opinion it is Spence, because he has 3 belts and he believed he is the A-side, between the two. And all have been speculating that the money split is 60-40 in favor of Spence, and Crawford is ok with that 40. But then again, we might never know that real split until the fight is made, and the numbers goes public.

For now, let's leave it like that, the fight could happen in the second or third week of November and Spence getting the biggest share of the pot. The data might not be available, although I reckon that if the venue is on Las Vegas, the Nevada Athletic Commission might release the numbers after the fight, so we will see. But if it's true that Crawford is willing to accepting the 40% and then maybe look for a bigger purse if there is a rematch.

There's probably a rematch clause on the contract and it depends on how things turn out in the first fight and the purse split could be very much different from the purse split in their first fight, I just feel it should be 50/50 as they are both champions but Spence having three belts is a big reason why he should have the edge and about the A-side, they are both on the A side but after the fight one of them will not be.

For sure there could be a rematch clause, because this is all for the belts, so at least the other party can have a chance to get back his belt. And the thing is, this fight is a mega-fight, so there could be bigger money for the rematch as well or even if there is a need for trilogy, then it's also possible. There could only be one A-side in this fight and that will be Spence.

For sure and there is no doubt at all that Spence is at the A-side as he has more belt to offer than Crawford who only have one belt but that could change soon in the rematch if Crawford will dominate this match. I don't doubt that there will be a rematch as long as the fight won't end in TKO/KO because a rematch clause will be written in their contract as this is an undisputed fight and all belts is at stake, so a chance to avenge will be given to the defeated boxer soon.
2786  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: August 17, 2022, 06:30:06 PM
Kung bagay mas malat na ang relasyon nila ngayon, baka tamarin si Durant kaya baka next season, mabuti pa wag mag expect ng malaki. Pero sa tingin ko wala naman, kasi nasa number 8 yata sila pag dating na odds na mananalo next season.

Kaya mas mabuti na rin muna na mag laro sila ng ilang games, at makita nung ano ang reaction sa mga team members nila. At kung meron din naman ibang team na hindi rin maganda ang laro eh baka pumayag na makipag trade. Sa ngayon tingin ko wala na munang galawan na mga mga yan.

Since damage is done na at may lamat na between Durant at sa mga gusto niyang paalisin sa Nets organization, worst-case scenario is di maglaro si Kevin Durant para sa team hangga't di to na-ttrade. Di naman bayad ang force leave niya pero nasasayang ang bawat laro ng Nets na dapat maayos na ang roster nila.

Magandang habulin ng Nets na ma-trade si Durant para makapagsimula na sila ulit ng training na talagang buo sila at may bagong players sila na galing sa pag-trade kay Kevin Durant. If ever maglaro man si Durant, parang awkward moments palagi sila ni Steve Nash. Although professional ang mga ito, di komportable kapag ganyan ang setup sa court na may di pagkakaintindihan between coach at player.

Ibang kaso na kasi yan compare sa teammate vs teammate na puwedeng pang maremedyuhan kapag nasa court sila at sabay naglalaro.

Kung sakaling sumugal ang Nets sana si Jayleen Brown na lang kunin nila pwede kasing buoin ang squad na papalibot sa kanya kung sakaling

layasan din sila ni Kyrie parang sa tinging ko mas magkakasundo ang laro nila ni Simmons, offensive player din si Brown at medyo bata bata

pa kaya kung mapapaligiran din ng mga magagaling na role players baka maging tipong James Harden after ma trade sa houston.

Sa tingin ko ay titingnan na muna ng Nets at ni Joe Tsai kung ano ang gagawin ni Durant ngayong next season at kung sakaling di parin ito umayos ay wala na silang choice kundi babaan ang kanilang demand para ma trade na si Durant kasi masisira lang ang team at masasayang lang ang bawat laro ng team na dapat sana ay maayos na sila.
2787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sources of gambling news on: August 17, 2022, 05:44:25 PM
I was wondering if there are reliable sources of gambling news.
For example, we have sites for political news, fashion news, sports news, weather news, and so on but I never come across sites where there is gambling-related news.
Will appreciate it if anyone shares the gambling new sources as it will be additional beneficial for the gambling community.

There are a lot of news sources available for gambling. Few of them are mentioned by lionheart78 in the above post.  Some more sites are

https://www.ndtv.com/topic/online-gambling

https://www.nytimes.com/topic/subject/gambling

However, i ask you a question why would you need to read gambling news? These news articles won't help you in gambling.
There are a lot of reliable sources if you want. Even the one posted above can give us the news that we want to know in gambling. But that won't make a difference at all. Most of them are just focused on the current events mostly in sports. So that won't still give you hints how to make profits from gambling. If you want to know how to maximize your wins from gambling, i'm afraid you can't do that because the more you gamble, the more visible losses are as the house always has the advantage to win.

That's definitely true because gambling houses are established to take the gamblers money rather than giving the gamblers money at the end of the day and I think this type of industry won't be standing until now if they don't have an edge in their favor, also gambling is really an expensive type of entertainment we can seek.

Anyway back to the topic, if you're seeking for some information to maximize your profits or winnings then I think you should search that in the internet rather than finding some sites that produces gambling news because you cannot really find what you're seeking.
2788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Gambling companies can get more users to deposit. on: August 17, 2022, 05:21:18 PM
^

That is why it is very important from time to time to monitor the reputation of the gambling sites where you play and do not keep there large sums. Many gamblers in the pursuit of bonuses and promotions put large sums on gambling sites. I would not advise doing this. It is better to make a deposit right before the game and not to think that your money can disappear.

These tips will save your money and in all likelihood fraudsters will not get rich at your expense.

That's a common mistake for the most gamblers especially the beginners and frankly, I'm that kind of gambler back at the day but that certain routine has changed when I bumped some tips like these. But sometimes, I cannot deny that there will be some figures that I will left as I will always use them back in the follow days.
Also, you're right about that checking the reputation of these platforms because we never know that they are already hacked and we have some large sums left in our accounts.

Result of the fight for

Teofimo Lopez VS Pedro Campa ROUND 7 KO/TKO - Teofimo Lopez win,

I don't really want to say that this fight is fixed but after seeing that fight pretty much it was a one-sided match, Tiofimo Lopez Speed was really creating that volume of punches, and he is really moving and punching at the same time, it was really meant for Teofimo Lopez to get this win, it was like Pedro Campa was set up for this fight, cherry picking him to be eaten by Teofimo Lopez, and on round 7 because Campa is taken so much punch to the face from Lopez the referee had stopped the fight and Lopez have won this fight via KO/TKO,

It's far from being fixed Lopez is just being the take-over guy he's fast powerful and too talented for Campa, Campa is doing his best but he's not in Lopez's league let's give Teofimo the praise that he deserves, we have just seen the old Lopez form and style I think he can beat Josh Taylor or anyone in that division and he can give Tank Davis a run for his money the way Lopez fight, Lopez has matured as a boxer with this fight.

It's more of a cherry-pick fight for Teo Lopez, so that he will look great and bring back his confidence after his defeat to Kambosos. And you can see in Campa's record that all of his opponent is not even close to what Teo have been beaten. So this is like a mismatch, a A-level class fighter against lower tier. For Campa's side, this might be his biggest paycheck in US dollar so even if he losses this fight, still a big privilege for him to fight in US soil.

I agree, in fact there's no promoter in the industry that would want his boxer struggle in his debut in that division so they will really try and find that boxer who will be a tune-up while also letting their boxer taste what it is like to fight in that division. It was already expected that Lopez will win though just like their controversial poster, this is all about him but I'm giving credits to Campa because the latter was in fact good because he can withstand all of Lopez's heavy punches and all of that connecting punches. It was a good tune-up match indeed!
2790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: August 16, 2022, 10:32:52 PM
So Bob Arum is being futuristic for Devin Haney and is expecting another easy win by the undisputed champion. Bob said that Haney will get a Lomachenko fight although the Ukrainian needs a tune-up fight first. Devin Haney will have a lot of options if he beats Kambosos again. Inside Top Rank, there's Vassily Lomachenko, Shakur Stevenson, Teofimo Lopez, maybe Josh Taylor too if he will stay at 140, and Jose Ramirez. Outside of Top Rank, there's Tank Davis and Ryan Garcia.

And as for Kambosos? He will have the same options too but he needs to win over Haney. Otherwise, I am not sure what his future will be. It's like his win over Teofimo was a fluke and he only became champion on Teofimo's worst night.

Well, Bob Arum might be correct about his prediction because Devin Haney has a really good probability that he could still defeat Kambosos for the 2nd time. I mean, will there be any difference? Because I think Kambosos might have reached out for a rematch quite early, he should fight other boxers in the meantime because he cannot really handle a back-to-back defeat.

But if ever Kambosos turns out defeated this time, I guess he will have to climb back the ladder before he can have that chance to fight some champions again.
Maybe the team of Kambosos see that there will be no other options for him right now, but to request a rematch, if he lost then take it and try to rebuild from ground up. It's the only chance that he will become a champion again, although it will be very slim as Haney has his numbers unless he change his tactics and get lucky to hit Haney just like what he did against Lopez in their fight. Back to back lost might really hurt him, but he can go climb back slowly, like fighting top 5-10 fighters in the division again.
One last time and if he lost then maybe go up in weight and challenge Lopez again, I think that would be an exciting match, sure it will gain attention from the fans and they'll be able to sell that fight well. However, it's not certain yet, Kambosos might win the rematch and maybe trilogy will happen.

There will be no hype on Kambosos vs Lopez in 140 lbs if George will lose again to Haney. Well Kambosos can go up in weight after the Haney defeat, but this division is tougher that anyone would have tough. Champion like Josh Taylor and then we have Zepeda and Ramirez waiting and then others. So I don't think that Kambosos will have what it takes to go in this division.
It's always tough for a boxer going up in weight, however, Kambosos can always try if there's no reason for him to stay in the current division where he is not a champion anymore.

But this is Lopez fight night, and so we will give him credit for going up in weight and then pick an easy opponent to test how this division might be for him.
I hope Campa would be easy for him, odds are telling it's an easy fight but bookies are not right all the time.

That might be the case if Kambosos cannot win this coming rematch, although I can say that there is almost nothing much different this time and I know that Haney will dominate him and make him struggle just like their first encounter. I'm not saying that Kambosos doesn't stand a chance against Haney at all but I'd say that his chances is really slim.

Lopez already defeated Campa by a TKO and if Kambosos will climb division, I guess these two will meet again.

Baka nga mangyari yan pag nagkataong sabay-sabay silang ma da-drama haha biro lang, siguro di na kakayanin ng management at ni Steve Nash pag mangyari yan dahil halos wala nang matitira sa kanila at mas magiging vulnerable sila compared sa ibang team dahil sa issue nilang kinakaharap.

Pero pag nagkataon naman na magtino silang tatlo pareho ay sigurado naman na mahirap sila talunin at baka nga mam bully pa sila ng ibang team dahil pareho-pareho silang magagaling sa kanya-kanyang role nila.


Mahirap talagang talunin kung seryoso silang tatlo at maglalaro na magkakatulong, kaya lang masyado silang bilib sa mga sarili nila na talagang mahihirapan ang coach na i-handle sila. Biruin mo yun si coach Nash na yung coach nila na talagang nirerespeto sa industriya pero hindi pa rin sila napasunod sa system na gustong mangyari ng coach, may sarili talaga silang mga mundo at ewan na lang natin kung paano pa sila ibabalanse kung sakaling mag stay nga sila sa Nets.

Yun lang! Pero wala rin namang magagawa masyado ang Nets kundi tiisin nalang ang sitwasyon nila kasi nasa kanila ang mga dramatic actress sa industriya, magagaling naman sana maglaro at may talino rin kung ano ang maiging gagawin sa loob ng court pero feeling entitled na rin talaga sila.

Sana di sila ang magiging rason kung bakit aalis si Steve Nash kasi kahit piliin pa ni Joe Tsai si Sean Marks at Steve Nash, mawawala at mawawala din ang tandem na yan pag nagkataong di magiging maganda ang takbo ngayong susunod na season.

Kaya nga, dapat yung team owner piliin nya yung coach at manager hayaan nya na yung mga feeling entitled na player kasi wala naman na syang magagawa sa mga yan. Pag nag demand na iwanan ang team kahit gaano pa kalaki ang ioffer lalayasan pa rin sya nyan. tignan na lang natin kung anong mangyayari kung maglalaro kahit pilit yung dalawang pa-star or matutuloy pa rin yung trade kung anomang team ang makakaaford ng gusto ng Nets na kapalit.

Tingin ko rin ay naninibago pa silang lahat kasi parang ito pa ang first time na naging malala ang trade request dahil masyado nang makapal ang ginawa ng star player ng isang team at may lakas ng loob pa talaga tong si Durant para pagpiliin si Joe Tsai sa kanila, eh wala naman sa coaching staff at management ang problema dahil nasa roster mismo ang kasali na si Durant dun.

Kung bagay mas malat na ang relasyon nila ngayon, baka tamarin si Durant kaya baka next season, mabuti pa wag mag expect ng malaki. Pero sa tingin ko wala naman, kasi nasa number 8 yata sila pag dating na odds na mananalo next season.

At talagang tatamarin si Durant ngayong paparating na season dahil di na matutuloy ang kanyang pag-alis lalo na ngayon na parang magsisimula na ang mga training camp nila para sa makapag prepare na din sa panibagong season. Masyado pang malayo isipin kung mananalo sila sa season na ito or di kaya makalusot muli patungong playoffs kasi kung titingnan mo silang mabuti, pahirapan pa yan para makapag tayo ng bond at chemistry at kahit pa healthy ay di nadin reliable.
2792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Macau's Casino Operation Continues Despite The Latest Outbreak on: August 15, 2022, 09:55:17 PM
Covid is slowly becoming old news for everybody, and I'm pretty sure that a large number of people around the world have already been vaccinated and some may have even taken the booster shots. IMO, what Macau did before was desperation, but seeing that the trend of outbreaks and infections are slowly decreasing, it is just wise to keep their casino industry active and hope that tourists will come visit the place and spend their money there. Even though their casinos are ready to serve gamblers, tourism restrictions and the likes are also one of their main enemies. It's hard for a tourist-dependent country to get back on their feet after this pandemic. We can see those effects ruin Sri Lanka economically, and it is really grim.

Desperate but they don't have much choice but to close everything in their country to reduce and minimize the spread of Covid-19 even if that means that their economy and people living within doesn't have a job nor business to keep up with their needs because Macau is really dependent to their hotels and casinos as their country is really small compared to Hong Kong or Singapore.

Something has to be done, players can request for a trade if he does not want to play? That's really something. Simmons started it first then we now have Durant and Irving, so now the management are seeing that the players (superstars) are already abusing their right, it's not anymore favorable to the owners who invested a lot of money.

It has not been like this before, but today the players are like the owners of the teams. They are the one who calls who to trade and who to acquire because they have this high authority in the team. But thankfully this is only possible in the team who got superstar players like LBJ and the other teams are fine, they don't have this drama. The disadvantage of this is when the player they acquired is not as they expected, the fans will not leave them alone and will surely tease them with that.

True, their ego is growing bad because these superstars are getting entitled for themselves because of what they could potentially bring to the team as they have the right skill set. NBA will start to look bad and ugly if Adam Silver won't do such rule or move to lessen these kind of movements and the team which these superstars are on will be so unfortunate if ever they're players will start forcing a trade just because the line up is not suitable for them.

Conor may not win but that $100+ million  is going to be in his pocket, it's just an exhibition fight, Floyd willing to risk his undefeated record as he knows himself that Conor has no chance of beating him in boxing, clever guy.  Grin

Ang hirap maglaro sa environment na may ganyang player gaya ni Kevin Durant. May Ben Simmons pa sila oh haha. Apektado rin ang ibang nilang teammates knowing may kakampi silang Durant na di enjoy sa paglalaro sa Nets.

Kaya lang, gusto man pakawalan ng Brookly Nets si Durant, grabe naman kasi ang hinahanap nilang trade package. Talagang kailangan ng isang team na sirain ang kanilang core lineup para lang mapapayag ang Nets na i-accept ang offers.

Pag nagtuloy yang ganyang demand ng Nets sa other teams, malabong ma-trade yan si Durant at magiging mas worst pa kung mag-stay sya sa team.

Oo, isa pa to si Ben Simmons na pang sariling kapakanan lang ang iniisip nya haha dahil maglalaro lang kung kailan nya gusto at kung di nya magustuhan ang mga kasama nyang players ay magiging isip bata nalang bigla. Kawawa talaga ang Nets ngayon sa sitwasyon nila kasi meron silang big three na parehong dramatic actors.

Ang ugong-ugong naman ngayon ay gusto ni Durant na ma i-trade sya sa Sixers dahil andun si Embiid at Harden, ano naman kaya ang kapalit dyan na iilan lang naman ang All-Star caliber sa 76ers.

Pag nagkatampuhan yung tatlong pastar ng Nets baka mag uniform na si Steve Nash pabalik sa court hahaha, pero seryoso yang sinabi mo pag nagtampo or na bash ulit si Smmons parang bata ulit na aayaw tapos hindi na maglalaro, napakaunprofessional ng tatlong Stars ng Nets magagaling sana.

Sa totoo lang naman kasi yung lineup ng Nets sa kasalukuyan eh pwede naman sanang pagtyagaan ni Durant hindi naman nya kailangang mapwersa kasi offensive player din si Kyrie samantalang defensive type naman si Simmons, tapos nandyan pa si Seth at Harris pati si Claxton para tumulong.

Baka nga mangyari yan pag nagkataong sabay-sabay silang ma da-drama haha biro lang, siguro di na kakayanin ng management at ni Steve Nash pag mangyari yan dahil halos wala nang matitira sa kanila at mas magiging vulnerable sila compared sa ibang team dahil sa issue nilang kinakaharap.

Pero pag nagkataon naman na magtino silang tatlo pareho ay sigurado naman na mahirap sila talunin at baka nga mam bully pa sila ng ibang team dahil pareho-pareho silang magagaling sa kanya-kanyang role nila.

Hehehe, palagay ko hindi rin magtatagal tong si Ben sa NBA, sa susunod wala nang kukuhang team sa kanya dahil may attitude problem.

Ay sigurado yan pag di pa yan magtitino sa paparating na season, talagang wala nang ibang mapupuntahan yan dahil sa kanyang attitude na parang bata kahit na ang babaw lang naman. May chance pa sya dahil sa taong 2025 pa naman mag e-expire ang kanyang contrata.

Well, I'd say that a tune-up fight in this industry is somehow synonymous to a cherry-picked fight because Lopez's camp are surely making all the arrangements to get the hype back on their boxer after that upset he got last time against Kambosos. He could've won that fight if he just came prepared and not so arrogant enough to underestimate Kambosos, I hope that he got the lesson now and not to underestimate Campa because even if this is a tune-up fight for him, I can say that Campa can still defeat him.

Campa has knockout punching power too and is a natural of the weight division.   Lopez shouldn't feel too confident to the point of being careless.  We have seen several boxers getting knocked out because of being cocky.  And I think he learned his lesson in his previous fight against Kambosos, so I believe I will be seeing a different Teofimo Lopez this time.

Indeed! Campa has a decent KO rate with a figure more 60%+ and that's not really far from Teo's KO rate of almost 71% if we round it off. Also, Campa here has almost all advantage he needed like heigh, reach and experience to upset Teo or at least make him struggle. I'm looking forward to see a different Teo though, the one who's not underestimating his opponents nor getting overconfident because that attitude made him put a scathe in his pretty record.

I guess there is no need for Donaire to do some cherry picking in the said division because I bet he can manage just fine even the champions in that division, he chose to fight in super-flyweight next so that means that he is confident enough that he can defeat those guys. He really knew that he cannot defeat the current Inoue now, so much better to do some cleaning in the lower weight class for now.
I just hope that he have learned the lesson that being overconfident is also dangerous. But yes, despite that he's aware of who can he beat and win.

It's better for him to have that emotion set at the normal setting so that it won't overwhelm him when he's on another match whether it will be from a lower division fighter or of the same.

Who? Donaire? I don't really think that he have that kind of attitude where goes being overconfident to his foe because of his capabilities, we know Donaire's attitude towards Inoue though but none of it shouts that he's overconfident.

Even us didn't really expected that Inoue will evolve that much because we think that they will still have a long 12-round fight where there will be a long blow-by-blow punches all the way to the 12th round. But Inoue finished Donaire in just 2 rounds with a stoppage.

I had never seen Donaire being overconfident.  As far as I know, he trained really hard in every fight.  He even keeps on training even without scheduled fights just to keep his shape.  The one thing I know is  that Donaire has a tendency to fall in love with the idea of one punch KO.  So instead of delivering combinations he opt to do a one punch KO strategy.

Yes but that doesn't mean that Donaire is already overconfident just like what jossiel said above, he's aiming for a one punch KO because he can make that happen instead of taking so much time digging deep punches in his opponents. I understand him because why would you wait and drag the fight longer and risk of depleting your stamina if you can finish the fight much earlier and you have what it takes to make it happen. Makes sense, right?

"Brooklyn Nets reportedly asked for Jaylen Brown AND Jayson Tatum for Kevin Durant. " Most celtics fans already hated the previous report of Jaylen Brown + picks for Kevin Durant and with these recent reports. I'd say if it goes through, there'll be riots across Boston. Seems very unlikely that this goes through.

It will be a bad trade for the Celtics if it will include Tatum. He is the franchise player, not Brown not Marcus Smart. So it they bite on the Nets request, it will really be a disaster for them. They have found the right combinations already, including the coach, they've reach the finals and almost had a coach chance to win the championship. I'd say forget about that deal, let their team go to another season intact and see if they can go as far as the finals again and maybe won the ring this time.

I couldn't agree more! They should forget about this deal and forget the thought of acquiring Durant in their roster because that will be just a disaster for their team, they should just focus on what they have now because they are now an experienced team as they managed to have an appearance in the Finals against GSW. I bet they will be much more stronger than any team because of that, they just need more push and exposure to be one of the finest team in the league.

I also have that same opinion about Celtics, they don't need KD, the only thing that they needed to do is to continue doing more progress

with their system, they've made it to the finals last season the players deserves kudos for doing their roles and now they will again try to

push for another shot in chasing the world title, having KD and breaking the good chemistry might not be a good idea for the Celtics' managements.


KD won't do any good for the team because I expect that the deal will mean that the Nets will have Smart and Brown, I don't think that they will just go and grab one player from the Celtics in exchange for Durant, right? So in short, the Celtics will not be the same anymore and that means that they will start from scratch again and might find themselves hanging when Durant starts to make trade request next season if the team won't work-out.

The Celtics would be betting on Tatum and Durant being such a good pair that they don’t need the rest of their core team. I’m sure the pairing of those two would bring in all the ring chaser veteran free agents as well. Personally, I think Durant is going to destroy any team he’s on and set them back 5 years on building out their roster. Durant is great, but I think he’s a risk. I wouldn’t trade for him. He’s a great free agent signing.

I really agree! Durant is undoubtedly a great player but there's something on him that will make any team he's on to suffer, well, except when he's still at the Warriors because there's a lot of other players there who's also a play maker and that team can still stand their ground without him playing.

Celtics shouldn't go blind at this because they will have another years of setbacks if they will get Durant in exchange of their proven and reliable players.
