That will be the disadvantage of RJJ here. But in any case, this fight is still interesting to watch. They both need training as supposedly they are already retired. Is it the money why they finally decided to have this fight?
The corona and the damages that caused pushed anyone to do the impossible and i think that is what is happening here, Mike Tyson wanted to raise money and he started training for a few months with coach Rafael Cordeiro who is the coach of many establish MMA fighters including Fabricio Werdum and then many fighter threw the hat to fight Tyson and Roy Jones got the opportunity.

Kinda late for the dream fight to happen, but yes it is still an interesting match-up.  This would be a difficult fight to asses since we don't know if the explosive punches of Mike Tyson is still there and if Roy Jones had reinforced his glass jaw.  If those two factors still remain
This is really not a dream fight but it is intriguing to see them fight, the explosiveness of Mike Tyson is there looking at the training videos but the glass jaw cannot be repaired once it is lost.

Tyson will have very huge advantage and possible early KO will be expected but this is an exhibition fight so who cares who'll win, I just hope that there will be no one get badly hurt in this fight.
The gambling house really cares about this fight as you can get huge bets for this fight and so it is a really serious business and even i hope no one gets really hurt.

I doubt if Stokes going to surpass Jacques Kallis even on batting, let alone Sobers. If he's focusing on only Test/ODI then there is some chance that he could play longer and come close to them but again their Test batting average is above 55 and Stokes is still under 40 average.

He always perform in big games tho, which is commendable.
Ben Stokes will be in the class of Ian Botham and Andrew Flintoff and he could become the best all rounder England ever produced and it is a big shoe to fill considering i always felt Andrew Flintoff did not explore his full potential and the main reason is injuries and the performance in the 2005 Ashes where Flintoff was touching around 150 km/hr bowling deadly spells and scoring runs like he owns the pitch was a sight in itself. If Ben Stokes can take care of his fitness then he can fulfill his potential as he always rise according to the occasion and players who single handedly win matches and series will be remembered for decades.


Coming to the match, England is struggling at 131 for the loss of 4 wickets and i hope they can score around 250 runs.

Big boxing news and comeback for 54 years old Mike Tyson (50-6) who is fighting with 51 years old Roy Jones Junior (66-9) who retired in 2018.
Tyson is a legend but he had no ring fight in 15 years!
This will be exhibition match held at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, USA.
Finally the fight that would have taken place a decade earlier is taking place finally and the only reason that fight did not happen is because Roy Jones Junior rejected the offer because he thought the payment was too low for a super fight and finally we have that dream fight. Roy Jones Junior might have fought recently in 2018 but he will be having many injuries he sustained in his fighting career and i know for certain that he is having a bad hip because he was talking about hip replacement last year.

Garry Sobers batting stats are ridiculously good. If Ben Stokes wants to surpass him in near future then he needs to work on his bowling. Considering his recent bowling rank (23th), i would say real hard work and if continue his batting form for the next 2 years then there is a good chance.

Being a All-rounder is tough job indeed, that's why we don't see many top-notch all rounders in intl cricket.
Garry Sobers is the benchmark when it comes to all rounders in world cricket as he was an explosive batsman and he could bowl fast and would bowl spin according to the pitch condition and he was a brilliant fielder in slips as well as in the outfield and there is only Jacques Kallis to compare to that level of skill level in the history of cricket and for Ben Stokes to reach those levels he needs to improve his catching skills as i have seen him dropping catches and need to play consistently for a longer period of time.

The only fight i do not understand in this fight card is the trilogy between Maurício Rua and Antônio Rogério Nogueira as Maurício Rua won both of their previous encounters and i cannot foresee a different result this time too. The rest of the fighters i need to see their weigh ins before making a prediction.



Anyone placing a bet look out for Khamzat Chimaev who is an upcoming talent who i think is a future champion in the Welterweight division and he fought recently on July 16 card and won by second round submission and now he is fighting again this week. The reason for my prediction is that he dominates all his opponents and he is a chain wrestler with submission skills and heavy ground and pound and hopefully he will be fast tracking his status pretty soon in the UFC.
2946  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reason of recent high fee- Twitter API hack on: July 21, 2020, 11:59:18 PM
I have been buying btc in local on a regular basis and sell them instantly for a short profit (profit in term of BDT). But now it has been a pain that fee has been increased significantly and the part of my profit has decreased a lot.
Anyway, is twitter API compromise the reason of recent high fee as people had so many tx?
The problem with the high fees started well before the twitter hack if that is what you are talking about. I was having trouble for the past two weeks in getting the transaction confirmed in time and it is taking a long time even with higher fees to get it confirmed. We are seeing this problem every now and then and now with every transaction i make sure i will be monitoring the mempool stats before deciding on the fees to avoid waiting for 10 hours for confirmation.

Ali's hate for Conor causes him to not accept that Dana's new lightweight storyboard might be Conor vs Justin Gaethje for the interim championship. If Conor wins this, Khabib or Ali cannot refuse Conor's challenge.

I speculate that Khabib will only rest this year.
What Ali Abdelaziz  said was that Khabib Nurmagomedov suggested to carry on with a match up with Conor McGregor and Justin Gaethje because it will be a huge pay rise for Justin Gaethje and if he wins he will go into another big fight with Khabib and now the Russian manager of Khabib announced that he will not fight in UFC 253 but he might return by the end of this year.

Islam Makhachev is a tough opponent for McGregor as they have the same wrestling style like Khabib.

Did not Gustafsson retired last year? If he wins, Werdum will probably be fired from UFC as he already have 2 losses in a row. Not an easy opponent for Gustafsson for a comeback.
Alexander Gustafsson is just 33 years and he retired because it was hard for him to be back to title contention after getting so close to the title in the light heavyweight division which includes two close fights against Daniel Cormier and that too a split decision loss and then the first fight against Jon Jones and that will frustrate anyone, the situation with Werdum is that he might be a couple of fights away from retirement as he is 42 years old and at the back end of his career and a loss here will not make much sense for his career and health.

Interesting market:
WI 2nd innings to score over/under 199.50 runs :-P
I thought they could score 1 more run but they are all out for 198 and a brilliant catch from Pope and Ben Stokes is the man of the match as he played an incredible innings with the bat scoring 254 runs and picked up 3 wickets and now the series is leveled. I hope England will include Jofra Archer and James Anderson along with Stuart Broad in the final test.

Could lightning strike twice?? ⚡⚡

After two split decisions at #UFC251, you could make even more cash back this weekend at #UFCFightIsland with our permanent Split Decision promotion
Do we have this promotion for future MMA events or just UFC events where split decision wins will be considered as voided or are you giving back a percentage as cash back and is it solely a competition for fight island or for future events, the recent fight card did not have a split decision but will be looking forward to hear about the promotion in detail.

I'm not in support of making crypto notoriously getting familiar to new people but when it is happening for some reason, I believe we cannot do anything about that. It is just part of everyday life like we prefer or not some people are getting know about bitcoins even due to bad things.
These things have nothing to do with BTCitcoin and it will not affect the market price but it is true that for anyone who is not familiar with the market reads the news headline that says BTCitcoin scam hacking twitter accounts and i have seen many articles with similar headlines in local newspapers and it is not a good publicity i want about cryptocurrency and BTCitcoin.

rip Kelvin Gastelum Sad
One more fights lost, and this time it was quick in just 78 seconds as he won with submission by heel hook submission.
I underestimated Hermansson.
Main event also finished in first round,  and brazilian Deiveson Figueiredo won with rear naked choke Submission.
Jack Hermansson is really unpredictable and so does Kelvin Gastelum, i was expecting this to go the distance or Gastelum dominating him on the feet like Jared Cannonier but Jack Hermansson was able to lock in the heel hook and since it was the first round he was able to get a good grip, usually fighters does have a good warm up and sweat if you are facing submission artist to get rid of these slick submissions but Kelvin Gastelum was not able to slip out of that grip and the main event showcased the power of Deiveson Figueiredo and if he can cut the weight he could be the champion for a very long time.
2952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 19, 2020, 02:33:31 PM
117/2 now, and trailing by 352 runs. They still need to try really hard to avoid the follow on. I am of the opinion that if England can take some quick wickets today, then they will be having a realistic chance of a victory. 69 overs remain for today, and it is very much possible for the English bowlers to get them all out. Anyway for now Kraigg Brathwaite seems to have dug in.
Even the England captain will not have the confidence that they will win the match as the West Indies is just trailing by 270 runs and Kraigg Brathwaite and Shamarh Brooks is building a good partnership and they will miss the presence of James Anderson and Jofra Archer in tough situation like these and the England will now think about winning combinations rather than experimenting with the team combination too much.

Edit: Stokes finally broke the partnership as he took the wicket of Brathwaite. Still they have some batting line up to come to the crease and if they can bowl out West Indies for 300 runs England will come out to bat to put some quick runs on the board and do they have the time to bowl out West Indies again  Undecided.
2953  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: People still falls for Bitcoin doubling scheme and fake giveaways on: July 18, 2020, 11:58:17 PM
Honestly people aren't learning anything, I am so disappointed in the way people think nowadays, believing they can actually double their bitcoin, as a newbie, the moment I saw the giveaway on binance official Twitter account I knew it was a hack
People still fall for these doubling scams and majority of the users are newbies who are attracted to the doubling as they have no idea about the market or how BTCitcoin works or generated, many of these doubling scams make the users think that they will be using those to invest in some other projects or getting these as mining rewards and it is a common mistake by the new users and when they try with low amounts they usually get the amounts back and then end up loosing when they send a bigger amount.
2954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: July 18, 2020, 10:24:13 PM
When the t20 world cup was supposed to be held? I have forgotten totally. Is the world cup get postponed for IPL, I think that is a stupid move from them. Soccer matches already have started, why not cricket globally? I think now it's possible to run by following some strict rules.
The scheduled date to start the T20 World Cup was 18th October and the final was to take place on 15th November, the BCCI and other franchise tournament are waiting for the ICC to make a clarity on how they are proceeding with the tournament. Soccer clubs resumed their schedule and they are running it smoothly and the England and West Indies is going on well other than the Jofra Archer incident where he broke the safety protocol and hence not in the team and it shows the lack of discipline in cricket and may be the cricket boards are not willing to risk that Wink.
2955  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: India may again ban cryptocurrency on: July 18, 2020, 08:50:00 PM
I think india had a wide greed of users. They had the culture of being competetive.
No idea what you are talking about, culture of competitiveness Roll Eyes India never conquered any country in history but had a rich culture and so was the reason it attracted invaders.

This is why I think government will probably changed the decision towards cryptocurrency.
There is a court of law if the government bans anything inappropriately and i am not a big fan of the present government because of their identity politics which is a cancer.

They are very conscious of ranking and also their ways of living. Life for them is to have a good car, big house and beautiful wife. They had show it to their own make movies. 
Everyone is living to have the luxury of life and which culture is opposite to those way of life Roll Eyes.

Imagine if Elon Musk , Binance, Coinbase, Coindesk, Finex, CZ, Justin and all these other hacked exchange accounts and Influence People were tweet blasting about SEC raids, exchange hacks, funds and Something Bad About Crypto etc.

They could've shorted Crypto Market and will be around $8600/Btc by now. All Alt Coin Will Down.
Users are not that dumb and they identified the massive hack in a short period of time and the hackers was not interested in crashing the price of BTCitcoin but they wanted to scam anyone possible to send the coins promising them to multiply them in a short period and they very well know there will be idiots who are greedy and will fall for them and they were successful from what i understand from the reports that are coming up.

Because of This type of Hacker Industry show Bad. tomorrow all News coverings This and New Investor will affected
These hacks will not affect the BTCitcoin market but it will affect twitter as it will loose its reputation if these kind of massive hacks happen regularly.

are you saying that the players can't get lucky and win? on multiple occasions i leave the casino with hundred and sometimes thousands in winnings. you can easily win despite house edge.
So what is the point of this scam accusation, you did not mention the site that you were not lucky Tongue.  If you are not able to verify your rolls then you can start an accusation. I understand the lock down situation and the frustration of loosing your money is forcing you to start a thread and now you can close this thread as you are well aware of your situation and how Provably fair algorithms works, if not take your time to learn about that so that you will understand your calculation was bullshit Wink.

Regarding Justin, I agree that this is classic move from him, he really knows when to ride on a hype and make a noise about it. For me this is nothing but just publicity stunt, he has a history of doing this and the timing about his supposedly TRON 4.0 released is perfect.
It is exactly what is happening, he does know how to market himself even when the chips are down and he is the only person among prominent people who lost their account during this hack and Justin is the only person who came out with a million dollar bounty Grin. I would really like to see these hackers getting caught and i want to see whether Justin Sun is going to follow up with his offer and pay the million dollars Cheesy. Slick marketing at its best and thereby promoting his coin along with it.

For those newbie in cryptocurrency in all certain platform, if you want to invest your money first, you have to think and conduct a research regarding on why do you want to invest your money. For you to be able to gain a good profit and to avoid the losing of your capital. Hence, there are some people who have insufficient knowledge in trading, investment etc.
So what is the point you are trying to make  Roll Eyes, there is nothing much to worry if you are investing in established coins and the only point of reference you need to be worried is the entry and when it comes to token and projects you need to research about the team before investing in them as it is the riskiest investment in the world as some projects tend to pump and dump the coins while others does not even go to those length to profit the investors.

A lot of people are comparing Babar Azam with Virat Kohli (including Inzamam-ul-Haq), but in my opinion this is not proper since Babar has played a lot less when compared to Virat. Recently Harsha Bhogle rated him as one of the over-rated players in T20, despite topping the ICC rankings.
Babar Azam is a young prospect and comparing him to established players will put extra pressure on him to perform and it will make and break players, he is really good in the shorter format of the game and he should showcase his talents in the Test format and that too for a longer period of time and the consistency reminds whether he could cope up with the situation and overcome pressure when he is compared to Kohli. Let him play his natural game and win many tournaments for Pakistan and then compare him to established players.
