They still have time to practice some kind of unique skills to surprise each other because as we saw yesterday, an unexpected strategy is the most effective one. No matter how good your opponent if you come with a nice and smooth strategy that will leave him clueless to counter, he won't gonna beat you, or you might end up winning with TKO because upsets will make your opponent lose control of the fight. Not really in my opinion, this isn't an eSports, what they need to do is outsmart each other because this match and I suppose every boxing match is a mind game that can make someone win if they are successful outsmarting them, of course the punches and endurance are a part of it too but dumb punches don't win matches. Skills and knowledge about how your opponents fought, this has big impacts in every fight. Whoever fighter inside the ring they are all after the lapses coming from their opponents, once they've seen a good opening they will grab it immediately knowing that it won't be always there for them, both fighters have that capabilities to win only fans and analyst gives their own opinions about the fighter but if chance gives them some good insight, they will take it down to win the fight. In the words of the legendary Mike Tyson ‘Everybody has a plan until they are punched in the mouth’ this is why predicting the outcome of a fight is always difficult as a single punch can be more than enough to change the whole fight, and what better example than the Ruiz vs Joshua fight in which Ruiz connected Joshua with a punch behind his ear and since that moment Joshua was unable to recover and this created one of the biggest upsets during this decade. That is true, but you have to understand that Joshua was overlooking Ruiz that time and thinking ahead of a Fury fight, and he avenge his defeat. And same as where you got your quote with, Tyson was upset by Buster Douglas, a 42:1 underdog. But don't you think that Canelo is underestimating Caleb Plant? I doubt that, he has a good team behind him, guiding him on every direction. Unless he was hit by Plant like a hail mary shot in the chin or in his ear, then we might see an upset. |

Im looking for a way to make money online. I have a website in development but I would like to find a way to make some extra cash while the website is in development. I would just like it to not be Surveys, or Dropshipping. Got any ideas?
I don't know but have you check other freelancing sites like Upwork? How about doing some online selling within your area? Here the best way to earn bitcoin is thru signature campaigns but your account is still fairly young so that is out of the question. Not sure about dropshipping though? Tried it like many years ago early 2010's earn some decent money but it's not for me. |

This week started with a high, not after bitcoin price went to an all-time high off above $50k, which is the highest price since May 2021, before dropping to $49k in the early hours of Tuesday this week.
Since then Bitcoin has been trying to climb back to that $50k benchmark but have faced so much resistance till this very moment, various analysts have predicted the price to stay above 50k this week but as we are all aware of the volatility in the Bitcoin market the week resided between $46k to $47k price with strong resistance.
What are your views on this, is the Bitcoin bull run tamed already or just gathering some momentum before breaking the limit?
The kind of situation isn't new If you're in crypto space for quite some time already. It tends to be like everytime Bitcoin has been facing a strong resistance, there will always be a short pull backs when It touches the level of that specific resistance level. Which kinda normal as traders will sell during bounce back and then accumulate when Btc falls about more than 5%. Usually, when Bitcoin is hovering around a specific range huge possiblity that there might be another bull run. As you can see Bitcoin didn't fall below $40,000 again. And we are not above $49k so quite some time now, after the price fall to $46k a quick bounce and a 3% increase is not that bad in a day. So yeah, we might attempt to break that strong resistance again this weekend and see if we are lucky although I think the trading activity today will slow day as it was a rest day for the majority of speculators. I doubt that we will go as low as $40k now, the sentiments seems to be very bullish with minor dump in a month. |

Quick, check Manny's brain it seems to be damage,  . Kidding aside, if he wants a rematch against Ugas, then let him fight. I also thought that he is done, but what a turn of events. Ugas is willing to give him that rematch so it can be done prior to the Philippine election in election in May. But if Manny losses then his political career goes to the drain as well. |

You predicted it correctly. Bitcoin price reached $50k a few days ago. But now, there is a price correction I guess and we started observing until what level it will continue to decrease. We saw $46k in the last 24 hours. I think that it may continue until reaching $45k. Then, we can see it starting to climb and going over $50k again. This time, the new target will be $55k.
As long as we are not going below $43k (which is the average for this month), the market is still on the bullish signal. What we are seeing is the normal price movement, we hit the $50k and since this is a big resistance, not enough volume and momentum, thus investors are cashing out. On the other hard, if we see a correction, there is a big chance the many investors will want to get in cheap at $45k-$46k and then push the price to and close to $50k again. |

is he afraid that he might lose in their second fight?
For me this is the single reason why he doesn't want to give Loma a second fight. He knows deep inside that he beat a injured Loma, as we can see in the fight, Loma is not throwing enough punches because he is nursing a injury. He even tells Loma to go back to 130 lbs. And we all know that Lopez is acting like a dick after getting all the belts and now feels that he is the pound for pound. |

Doesn't matter if Tesla is going to accept BTC soon.
Elon Musk has some narrative about the supposedly green energy argument of his. He is going to sell solar panel anyway, so that is his narrative for not accepting bitcoin as mode of payment. And miners are not going to adjust to just one person and his argument are flawed in the beginning as well.
He might rather accept his favorite meme coin, Dogecoin rather than bitcoin, but we will be good enough, don't you worry.

Not a big fan of Caleb Plant, but I want him to win this match. Canelo cheated GGG of victories not once, but twice (with some help from subhuman judge Adelaide Byrd). Anyway, in this case Plant is from the United States, and I expect the judges to be more neutral. For him, this is the biggest fight so far in his career. BTW, I guess this is the first time we are having a four-belt unification fight, after a long duration (for any weight category). Currently Josh Taylor (Light welterweight) is the only boxer who have managed to unify all the four belts. BTW, there are rumors that Alvarez may move to light heavyweight after this fight.
I guess a lot of us would also disagree that Canelo cheated GGG, that was a close fight and I think Canelo deserves that win. We want to see the 3rd match, but it seems like it's not gonna happen but what Canelo has been showing, he showed dominance in boxing and if GGG and Canelo will fight for the 3rd time, I guess Canelo has the edge as he is the younger fighter and a more active one. I saw the two fights and I'm not a fan of both fighters but I agree with the decision of the judges on both fights the first and the second match, it's a close fight and the fight could go either way, it's on the appreciation of the judges but yeah I agree on you that there should be a third match to settle once and for all and there's a possibility of a fourth match if GGG wins but Canelo is on another level now. GGG is an old man now. The fans were robbed of the opportunity to see the trilogy. If they fought again I wouldn't expect it to be competitive. GGG has not been very active in recent years and Canelo has moved to higher weight classes. And in GGG last fight, we has not that sensational anymore, so maybe Alvarez has taken something out of GGG in the second fight because he was not the same fighter anymore. And he is about 40 years old already, we have seen Pacquiao fighting at 42 and it didn't look good. So I agree that it won't be as competitive as before since father time is also catching up with GGG and we all know that no one can beat it, no matter how great you are specially in boxing. |

I am curious if Anderson Silva's Injury will take him to the distance we all know after that Injury from Chris Weidman match when he returned he is not the same Anderson Silva he sure is very tired of UFC and never been sure if he really beat Derek Brunson, but I don't really know about if he would go toe to toe with Tito Ortiz does his past fights on the UFC would get into him, or he would be a new Anderson Silva in this Boxing career, All I got to say is I am waiting if what training Tito Ortiz is cooking.
I don't think that past injury will bother at all, on his fight against Chavez Jr he proves himself to be a high-level competitor by the way he boxes Chavez JR. he is so good that he should have done boxing halfway through his career as a fighter, Silva has a lot to offer in the boxing world, I don't know about Ortiz he is good in MMA but I don't know about his boxing skill. I disagree though that he boxes Chaves Jr. usually he stays on the corner in the fight and waiting for Chaves to come in and counter, so there no movement. But I do agree that it didn't matter that much about the injury he suffers during the Wiedman fight. Tito Ortiz is more of a brawler type, but when facing good striking fighter during his MMA days, he usually gets knock out cold. |

His main goal at the moment is to return to the NBA. So I think Thomas will be happy even if the Lakers or any other teams offer him a 1-year contract with a minimum salary. By the way, it seems that IT is still a good scorer, considering that he was able to score 81 points in a pro-am league game a couple of weeks ago. Why is he still free agent anyway? Normally teams should get in line to sign him. Something's wrong here.  Obviously 81 points is good but that's still not the NBA. It all went down for him because of the injury and the way he or his agent handled the contract negotiation with the Celtics. I don't blame him for making demands but there's just too many talent who are younger and less injury prone that the Celtics could pick to replace him. He should have known better. Yeah, but maybe it put a hype on him, making noises around the bastketball world and LA take notice of it give him the time to work out with the team and let's see how it goes for IT. For sure he understands that he is no longer in his prime, can't make any more demand specially after he gets injured. Probably trying to salvage his career and could be his last chance. But I still remember when IT was still at his best in Celtics, unbelievable to see his plays during that time. |

Just like others have said, the huge risk involved as compare to buying bitcoin and then holding it for years.
Right now we have the Defi/NFT hype, but what happens if the hype suddenly die and dries up? Right, investors might have lose big money or re-invest on the next hype. So for others, it might be too complicated and include a lot of learning just to make money out of it.

^ I agree that the bitcoin future has a net negative effect except when we are in a super fast rally like in October-April of last year. But this happens on the last week or so of every month and after that the price seems to bounce again.
So in this case we have seen the price dip already because of the close of bitcoin future contracts so for me, we will see a good recovery before the end of August.

Finally, there's a final date of this fight again, I almost forget this fight because of the postponement, but definitely, this fight is worth to watch and let's see if Lopez would be able to defend his title after that stellar win against Lomachenko.
Are the betting odds still up?
And what makes this fight very good in my book is that both of this fighters are not backing down from each other. So two loud mouth trash talking, we will see if they can walk the talk in the ring. Regarding the odds, for sure Lopez will be the favorite here base on his last performance against Loma. I'm guessing around 1.2-1.3x ML for Lopez as the opening odds. |

I would say that if they got one more player for SG that would have been awesome, more correctly get a proper one instead of someone else. I mean think about it, they could play Westbrook, Lebron, Melo, AD all together a fifth person that is as star as those names would make things so much better.
They are still chasing Isiah Thomas as far I know, and there are rumors about the Rajon Rondo going back to Lakers as well to complete the cast. I still think that Melo will be given the leadership of the second unit but that is still a great situation for him as well because he would be the 6th man of a team that is fighting for a title and he may even get a lot of minutes (just after a few seasons ago where he wasn't even wanted and couldn't find a contract) if someone gets injured and he is required to play a lot of minutes.
Melo will be the first option as second unit coming from the bench. But Lakers are so deep right now that they can combine players in the floor and be effective as the first five. |

Just playing devil advocates here: Ugas said that he is willing to give Manny a rematch? What can you say about that? hehehe “Two-hundred percent,” Ugas said in reference to a rematch during their post-fight press conference Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena. “You know, Manny’s a great legend, great fighter. You know, if he wants a rematch, no question about it. You know, a legend like that deserves it.” https://www.boxingscene.com/yordenis-ugas-if-manny-pacquiao-wants-rematch-legend-like-deserves-it--160093Of course, it will be a money grab for Ugas here, for sure he will get at least more than 10% of the previous purse he got. I know that majority of us wanted Manny to retire and move on with his political career. He has a tight schedule if he rans for the Presidency, but will he take the bait to fight Ugas again? Not sure if this is viable for Manny to have a rematch with Ugas. And for Ugas this is a win-win situation that's why he is want to get Manny a rematch, he will beat the legendary twice and then he will have the biggest paycheck of his career. It's better for Manny to remain retire as of now and pursue his presidential bid. |

Bitcoin price has already left $45k level behind this morning. This is really promising to me. It shouldn't be too hard for the price to reach $50k soon either. This has been one of the greatest runs recently. Bitcoin seems like unstoppable now and it reflects on the altcoins also. Ethereum has been on a great run also for example.
Probably you're right, that it's not going to be too hard for bitcoin to go to 50k again but remember that when it was the first time, it was difficult so there's a possibility that it's going to be hard for bitcoin to go to that even at a second try. I think that given the current prices even if it's at the current year's lowest, we can conclude that bitcoin's already on a new heights. You have to take for example the last big barrier which is $48k, I lose count on how many times we are close to breaking it but then dips back to $47k. So that will be the case for $50k as well, yes we have break it in the last 24 hours, but then again it goes down to $49k. In short the momentum was short live, but I wouldn't be affected by it. We will have the whole week to try and breach it and have it sustained and then goes for the next $53k-$55k. |

We love the 100 meters specially in women, in the Olympics it was swept by the Jamaican ladies.
And weeks after the Olympics, Elaine Thompson-Herah proved herself that her win in the Olympics is not a fluke as she won in the Nike Diamond League again with the same time of 10.54.
And also the same result in the 2nd and 3rd position, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson of Jamaica as well.

Bitcoin's hit another round number, so that's good. I'm waiting for some fomo to set in but it didn't happen. And then we have some pullback already. But as long as the price is above the average price of $43k, I think we are still in the bullish of phase.
As for the media outlets, sure that's there job, flipping from bitcoin bears to publishing bullish sentiments and what to expect.

Well it seems he changed a lot, I don't see the real Manny Pacquiao on this match, it seems he is very weak in this fight. I saw he has a very slow movement compared to the last fight. During his interview after the fight that was, he said, because of his leg cramps, so that is a sign that he is old enough to give a fight. I think that is enough, he give already had so many fights and entertainment, it is time for him to rest and resign from this kind of career. Just a fun fact, he had ads regarding body pain killer drugs [ALAXAN] but he had leg cramps.
It means age is showing up and he should retire from professional boxing and if he still have the itch to compete he should compete in exhibition fights just like Floyd Mayweather and hopefully make a ton of money. I was curious to see how Manny would return and continue his speed at this age when he was coming back after two years mainly because of the pandemic and that showed in this fight. We will see, he said that he don't want to engage on such exhibition fight like what Floyd did or doing right now. I think if he hang up his gloves, it will be final, I reckon. Legs cramps appears if you are old, meaning your body is not responding anymore. That's what happens to him in this fight. Age->leg cramps->no movement. Remember that Manny has a massive calves and fighters generate their power from their legs. If the legs are not working then you are going to lose, which happen to Pacquiao. |

In the under card, another Filipino hopeful, Mark Magsayo, came off from the canvass and brutally knock out Cesar Ceja in the 10th round. I'm sure Manny is proud of his boy, it was really a competitive fight from the beginning, Magsayo really swinging out, with bad intent to really knock out his opponent. Ceja stay in the canvass for a minute before being help. Raw footage from a fan inside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BXPN_dLGjY |
