lol, everyone wants to rematch with Volkanovski. Ortega probably is somewhere in the end of a queue to fight Volkanovski again. Maybe next year or after several wins Ortega can get a second shot. Otherwise featherweight will turn into a boring roundabout of 4 fighters trying to take a belt from Volkanovski waist.
I guess Ortega needs to win 2 more fights so he can challenge Volkanovski again, but for me, Alexander Volkanovski is way more in his league from watching his fight with Max Holloway, right now I can say that in the featherweight division there is no fighter the Rank 8 that can beat Volkanovski, for me I will have to wait for Movsar Evloev and Ilia Topuria to have a decent match with Volkanovski and right now the great thing to do is move up a division and get another belt, I have stopped seeing real thread from RDA. He has "wagon and small cart" of experience, but after loosing his belt, he has lost all his fight to top level fighters. Who has he won last years ? Felder and Moicano - they are not even in top15. Kevin Lee is not in UFC anymore. Lawler - his chis is no longer a stone  Magny - it was 5 years ago. I knew that Fiziev would win. I did not expect a KO only, because it is hard to KO RDA. I wouldn't expect their takedown defense of Fiziev to be this reliable, he is always going for his center of gravity and very cautious on RDA takedowns, and at the same time striking him hard I didn't expect either that the chin of RDA will collapse of Rafael Fiziev punch, it was a shocker, for me seeing that, but this is UFC, man Fiziev is really technical with his punches and the power that knock Dos Anjos is legit, I'll surely be looking forward on his next fight, |

from being a Manly sports , it became also for Women as boxing for women opened up and now here , as the pandemic closes money making for Boxing operators and management? they lure gamblers and fans in this kind of Funny exhibition games that for me isn't really caring for what boxing stands for as long as they are making money out of it.
I can feel your sentiment in this part mate and I agree and supporting your point .
I think there is already a Women's boxing division, and the recent fight if I am not wrong was Franchón Crews-Dezurn VS Elin Cederroos on April 30, 2022, you haven't seen it because I think men boxers are more popular than men that is why there are not so much exposure for the sports in woman division, and Franchón Crews-Dezurn is the Super middleweight WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, title holder, and here is the LIST of woman who is currently holding a title belts  In less than two weeks we can see a crossroad fight between former world champions Adrien Broner and Omar Figueroa. This should be fun to watch as both were entertaining fighters before. AB with his funny antics and trash talks while Figgy's hot sister might attend the press conference, weigh-in, and the fight. This may not be for world title contention but I felt this fight as more alluring than the fake fights of Jake Paul and Mayweather Sr.'s exhibition fights. I am surprised after these two long rests from boxing I never thought that they still wants to continue their hold-up career, Adrien Broner after that fight with Pacquiao in 2019 had a long rest then comes back to fight Jovanie Santiago and won that fight, and after that an Omar Figueroa fight, if Adrien Broner won this fight I think we can surely say that this is his true comeback, While Omar Figueroa Sister was really legit hot, Omayra Liliane Figueroa surely has the body to die for and I will be expecting her to show up aswell on his Brother's fight, and this fight was set on August 20 on Florida, this could be a great fun fight to watch,
It's hard to admit that fact that Manny can still be on the perfect shape if ever he takes a pro fight and assumes to win it.
The issue isn't all about money but just as said, about his winning retirement. It feels good when you're about to retire and your last match has won.
We don't know, but they're on this business for decades and understands it more and well than us.
I can say he can be in perfect shape, but against a tough opponent it is unlikely for Manny Pacquiao to finish a KO/TKO like he used to, but yeah it is Manny Pacquiao who can fully understand his body and can have a say if he can still fight of not, and actually, it is good to retire with a winning record before a boxer retire but he can not push something if he can not really do it, but we can not know if this exhibition match is his conditioning for that 1 last fight, |

What is certain there is that they are good at finding young seeds there and making their young players potential which is always brought in by other clubs at a higher price.
There are so many names that they are selling for quite a high price like Haaland, Sancho, Pulisic and even Dembele being some of the players they have managed well, so even if they don't win the title they have a huge profit from the sales of their players.
Winning as a champion is just a bonus for Dortmund, on the last season they are near to making their move if only Erling Haaland stayed healthy I think Dortmund can have a chance of having truly a competitive game against Bayern Munich, but as you have said it is not their interest in getting that from Bayern and the other teams, if they have players that will prove unique, and has talent then it is a big win for them aswell if they can sell those good condition players, Bayern Munich are really after de Ligt currently but for now it seems like just an interest. I haven't heard of an official offer yet. Chelsea are in this race also and I see Bayern Munich one step ahead of them. But the opinion of the player is the most important point here of course. de Ligt can be an important part of the team if he stays at Juventus. Because Chiellini has left the team. If he doesn't desire a move out of Italy then Bayern Munich and Chelsea both might be unsuccessful about signing him. Unless they pay the release clause amount of course.  according to what I have read, Chelsea is really desperate in getting de Ligt from Juventus even though they will have to make a certain sacrifice on their finances because it is a battle against Bayern Munich because de Ligt on the other hand wants to join Bundesliga to get it Germany's champion, for me, this is a solid win for Bayern Munich because Juventus is now having a meeting with Bayern Munich for the transfer, and they have the financial capability to secure a transfer from Juventus, Even though Bayern Munich has good finances but I don't think Bayern Munich will be willing to pay a lot of money for Matthijs de Ligt, despite the rejection by Juventus of the offer that Bayern Munich has made. Basically Juventus have prepared several players to replace Matthijs de Ligt, this kind of planning is very possible for Matthijs de Ligt to really leave Juventus. But whether in the end Bayern Munich will really pay that price, I personally doubt it and maybe Matthijs de Ligt will choose another club like Chelsea, maybe.
I believe Bayern Munich have offered £76million while Juventus have paid £67.5m for Matthijs De Ligt and De Ligt really wants to be part of the Bayern Team, while Chelsea is having a hard time deciding on what to do, and I think Bayern Munich is likely to push this despite the so much players they have, and if they get Matthijs De Ligt I think this is goodbye for Robert Lewandowski to be traded for Barcelona, |

He has to take back those expenditures that he got.
And that's why he has to take any fight that will pay him good cut no matter who the challenger is. This won't matter to him anymore despite his titles and records.
He's also getting older but still on the shape, so if there will ever be any match for him, that can be just like a match of pride and glory for the challenger.
Well Magsayo after the fight with Vargas, said that he had talked to Pacquiao about his retirement, Mark Magsayo really wants another 1 fight for his idol to take before retiring for good, surely Magsayo just wants Manny Pacquiao to have a winning record first before retiring but yes Manny Pacquiao really knows his body pretty well, if he can still fight or not that will be his decision to make, I think Magsayo really wants to see a final last fight for Manny Pacquiao which is not really OK in my opinion, For me, he can take an exhibition match but to return in an actual boxing match I think if he can not make a KO/TKO win over his opponent anymore it is really time to let go, but for me taking an exhibition match and getting money at the same time is pretty much OK with me,
I don't mind as the main purpose is for entertainment or possibly a charity event. It was announced beforehand so it is to the fans to watch it or not. As you see, they have this exhibition matches because it sells, if it doesn't then we can't see anything like that in the boxing industry.
I think it is OK for Manny Pacquiao to fight anybody, at 1st I am having doubts about who Pacman is going to fight, after seeing how DK Yoo fight against Bradley Scott a former UFC fighter, it was really awful and there are people that are saying DK Yoo won that fight because he got on his back the judges, and the whole crowd was for him, I think this is something outrageous, do you really want to see Manny Pacquiao in the same situation as Bradley Scott? a legendary boxer hitting an amateur boxer, and doesn't have real fights for his level of boxing, but yes I know this is just for entertainment purposes, but we can not really relate to what we are talking about if we have different points of view, I understand your point and I do agree that it is better that way but I think I am more open to seeing different stuff than it should be . Variations as long as it doesn't harm anyone make the game more entertaining that is what I believe in. Well, the fight is already in motion so I guess let us just wait for it what will happen to the fight, or is it going to be a pass or not, but I am still watching the fight just because I am curious about it, |

Thanks for the link, I will watch it later though.
But if you see Curry's emotional outburst after game 6, you will feel that something has been lifted in his shoulder winning the NBA this season when there have been a lot of chatters and noise behind team. He is not that vocal though, it as Green but they have walk the talk and so they silence all their critics with this huge win. For sure they will have to find another one just to bash or harsh critic them at the start of the new season, specially if they started on a bad note because the supporting cast has all gone now.
After that 2019 loss, it was a devastating season for the Golden State Warriors, and I have watched that video, and that 2019 loss get back to me again, they have run a smooth winning after that 2019, and right now they are devastated from that lost, It was really surprising now that they get back up again, and I wish next season will be very fruitful for them again, although I also like the Boston Celtics to have a champion just once, the Golden State Warriors have suffered much and endured much to keep that doubting eye one them and all the critics that question them and mostly Stephen Curry himself, but for me, Stephen Curry is one of those players that I really love watching, and the Golden State Warriors is one of those teams that I love watching aswell,
Curry is a great player, he will be a Hall of Famer as he continues to get better. I saw him complain when he loses in some games, instead, it only makes him stronger to make his team better. Warriors will never forget him, he will continue to make this team a championship team and I like to see Curry retire with the Warriors as he continues to make history.
I will also watch that documentary later, thanks.
In his performance, we can all agree that he is really a GOAT in shooting and one of the best, he already makes it to the Hall of fame, along with the greats, and complaints on a loss I think is normal to complaints on a loss when you know your giving your best and all, we get to see a mentality to never really give up, and that mentality is what he is passing to all of his teammates that is why in just a small amount period of time the likes of Jordan Poole, Kevon Looney, Andrew Wiggins, we can say right now are playing like all-stars and I can not wait for the season to start again, |

Certainly this was not the night to remember for UFC fans. This was mostly expected results for me with nothing spectacular but Nurmagomedov family keeps pushing more wins in UFC  Chase Sherman win against Jared Vanderaa was biggest surprise for me, this was devastating KO win in third round with dominant performance by Sherman, and who doesn't like to watch big heavyweight clash. Video of last few seconds: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/llV1wKz_U_II really don't like it either, it's not that spectacular, I never thought that Fiziev could beat Dos Anjos, and Sherman to Vanderaa, I really never expected those results but still, I just watch the fight with a sign of discontentment may be because I am used to an event with 2 to 3 fights that were outrageously awesome and unexpected and I really never feel any of that in this event, Well once a Nurmagomedov always a Nurmagomedov, there might be a fear coming out from that name, that is why certain Nurmagomedovs would find their success,
Rodriguez early fights than Max Holloway as Pro but he still loses or due to injury then gets down by Max Holloway's fist, by looking at that, maybe it better to put a bet on Ortega, if the count a bit wins with big money, Rodriguez is choice.
Max Holloway is a true potential fighter, that is pretty much technical, but Alexander Volkanovski has outsmarted him, and right now I think the Caliber of Volkanovski has risen, but I can not say that Holloway dwindled with his techniques or speed, I say Holloway is still that Holloway like he used to be, and for Rodriguez even though he doesn't have that injury on him, Max Holloway still could win that one, but Brian Ortega for the win here as well,
Just in Brian Ortega still thinks he is a big threat for Alexander Volkanovski and wants a rematch VS Alexander Volkanovski, For me my take here I think Brian Ortega was dominated by Alexander Volkanovski, their recent fights were all a set up by Volkanovski, I say just like the Max Holloway domination by Volkanovski this is the same, even though Brian Ortega has caught Volkanovski into submission, Volkanovski was able to get free from that, I really think Brian Ortega should get the low ranking fights and be a gate to the pursuers of the belt and get those money fights, I really think another Match from Volkanovski will still be the same and can be much worst than their last fight, |

Yes.
I guess that they're on it and aware of that possibility and they know how to pull it off. They won't be liking the trade if there's no benefit on them but as once part of it before.
He knows the rotation and he's got the idea how they play so it's not that much to adjust but we'll still see if the team will really take him.
Actually, they will not take Kevin Durant, there might be a chance but it needed Another half of the Golden State teams to be traded for him, and I think the Golden State Warriors will not consider losing 5 more players just to get KD because they already lost Gary Payton II, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Otto Porter Jr., and Damion Lee they can't afford to lose a lot more, but the Warriors have added Donte DiVincenzo from the Sacramento Kings, more likely they don't really need Kevin Durant at all, The Golden State Warriors seem silent for the past few days. Heavy secret meetings and deals going on? So far the Warriors lost important players like Payton II and Porter Jr. but were quick to take on a championship experienced player, Donte DiVincenzo. The Warriors also managed to re-sign Looney. Last season the Warriors spent more than $300 million and nearly half of it came from luxury tax. This coming season, the Warriors will bleed more monetarily after some increase in yearly contracts. Does it mean they will not pursue Andrew Wiggins anymore? GSW owner Joe Lacob was at The TK Show talking about his team. So the Warriors are still making a huge amount of money enough to sustain their super expensive roster? So the Warriors will probably extend Wiggins' contract then? Then maybe trade him if they aren't performing well before the trade deadline. If this becomes a trend where super expensive luxury taxes are still accepted and paid by these richer cities and teams then probably another NBA rule will be made in the near future. There will be a huge disparity, especially for teams in smaller cities. I think they are trying really hard to balance those financial needs and even more gaining the best players in the process, I really think this is a hard job whoever is calculating this, I mean they already lost Damion Lee (signed with Suns) Gary Payton II (signed with Blazers) Otto Porter Jr. (signed with Raptors) Juan Toscano-Anderson (signed with Lakers) and I think with these trade they surely gained some, in actuality, it is pretty much hard to balance those players that are very good and has talent like for example Gary Payton II can sure steal a ball and make the life miserable for players that he is guarding, |

League of Legends Champions Korea Prediction and picks,
Hanwha Life Esports VS T1
Stake odds for this game are 8.60 for Hanwha Life Esports while 1.05 for T1, This could be the 7th loss for Hanwa Life Esports, but if they win this will be their 2nd win considering they can win against T1, and for T1 their 8th win and if they lose their 2nd lost, for me this is going to be a 1 sided match considering the odds it is not good to bet directly on a T1 win, for me I will bet on Correct Score (in Map) in Stake.com betting for T1 I could say this will be a 0 - 2 Map win for T1, at 1.31 and will be betting like this and my pick for this game will be T1,
Gen.G Esports VS Sandbox Gaming
Stake Odds for this game are Gen.G Esports is 1.16 while Sandbox Gaming has 4.90, GEN.G is considered 1 of the top teams in League of Legends Champions Korea, and in this Tournament, they now had 7 wins and only 1 loss, while Sandbox Gaming has 5 wins and 2 losses, which make the Sandbox Gaming in a tight spot on the odds, for this game, I think Sandbox has a chance to win only 1 map on the game so I will be giving a 2 - 1 Correct Score (in Map) in Stake.com at 3.25 Sandbox Gaming may take 1 map but Gen.G is a pretty much higher team that can compete with T1, fr me I will be betting like this and my pick will be GEN.G,

Brian Ortega is still favorite win, but even 2 years different old, Yair will hold his equipment and if win, growning up to #2 or #3 position from current rank #4. this fight is very interesting to watch what else Brian was lost in the last match.
For me, this will be a close fight, both fighters lost to Max Holloway, but Brian Ortega has tasted a loss to Alexander Volkanovski I think that will surely impact his performance when you see Volkanovski in a fight While Yair Rodriguez doesn't have any experience with Volkanovski, for me, Brian Ortega facing Volkanovski will surely enhance his experience, a lot and being well-rounded I think he can have many options on taking on Rodriguez, UFC on ABC 3: Ortega vs. Rodriguez
So which fights are recommended to watch except main event? As to main event: both fighters are going to regain reputation after a lost in previous fight. Both are quite high in top. In the current fight, I think Ortega would win. Rodriguez havent found for a while. Lost to Holloway 9 months ago, and before that havent fought for several years. I think Ortega would be more prepared this time. For me Brian Ortega VS Yair Rodriguez will be going the distance, I really see this fight will be a close one, but Ortega in my opinion is well-rounded, and after that Volkanovsk fight he has taken the experience to be beaten by Volkanovski, so I think Ortega can score a takedown, but I am still looking further on the fight for both fighters And the event that I think is worth the watch was Jingliang Li VS Muslim Salikhov - Another Russian Opponent for Jingliang, after his fight with Chimaev pretty much became a fan of Khamat Chimaev, and in this fight, I think that JingLiang has a slight advantage with the takedown, but I can not know for sure, Muslim Salikhov is great with Strikes, so it will be an outstanding match, Matt Schnell VS Sumudaerji - this match for me I think is pretty much good t watch, Schnell might come to two consecutive losses, but he is pretty well rounded, back on his recent years, while Sumudaerji is a KO artist with pretty a lot of his fight was with KO, but for me, I think that he still hasn't shown a lot and Schnell is pretty much good with the submission and pretty much well rounded, I am pretty much curious about this fight, |

Well, I thought that Kevin Durant will be leaving the Brooklyn Nets anymore, and so the rumors are true, and with this maybe Kyrie Irving will be the one left on the Nets, It is crazy how Kevin Durant isn't satisfied on every team he is on, and right now he doesn't want to settle again with the Brooklyn Nets, but for me, if there is no further announcement this will still remain a rumor to me, 2016 was his last years on the Oklahoma Thunders, while 2019 was the last years on the Golden State Warriors while in the Brooklyn Nets it could be 2022, but still, we just need to calm down for a moment there is no given announce that he will really be traded to the other teams, Kevin Durant can't leave as he is under contract. If the Nets will decide to keep him, no choice for Durant but to play for the team. There are offered by other teams but the Nets want a big return in exchange for Durant as they gamble for him. Even Durant requested a trade, it will be hard for the Nets to just released him without a bunch of good players. I don't know what will be the closest thing that might happen so let's wait instead. Yup! but I really think this may happen if Kevin Durant is not happy with the Brooklyn Nets anymore, then I think the Nets would have to give up on him, but if the Brooklyn Nets would want a good trade for Kevin Durant bigger money and good players, and yes the Brooklyn Nets will surely want a couple of players on a team, maybe 3 players or another all-star player on that team, pretty much that will be the condition for a Kevin Durant trade but if the team that gets KD would have an existing All-star player I don't think it will go out all well for KD and that All-star player to get a long, but yeah we just need to wait instead, Wiseman looking good for the Warriors in summer league. He’s blocking shots, catching alley oops and creating and draining his own 3’s. He’s looking like he may fill a need for the Warriors next year if he can stay healthy. Scary that they won it all without their best prospect. They might be an even better team next year.
Wow! that is great news and he's playing in the summer league to catch up and he smokes the Spurs with 11 pts with a pair of blocks that is something to look for when he fully returns to the regular season, and I am so excited for the Warriors young blood Jonathan Kuminga team up with Wiseman was very significant against the Spurs, with Moses Moody for the team and I don't know what to say this might be another season for the Warriors,
And they still have Kuminga and Moody, bright prospect as they have the experience from last year's champion ship run. And then Wiseman being healthy, and their steal drafts with so much potential, young team plus their core, yeah, could be a more dangerous GSW team and the league should take notice of this. And even though they have lost so much of their second unit specially Payton Jr, someone will have to fill it up with this young guys at their 20's, and it's scary.
Well, all those Rookies will eventually get better until the regular season starts and we all know the Golden State Warriors have a tendency to polish diamonds so that draft picks that the Warriors have got will eventually get them off use, Patrick Baldwin Jr. the 28 picks, Ryan Rollins the 44th picks, and Gui Santos the 55th picks, I think this young blood will surely emit great value in the future, so I am so excited for the next season, |

Well, I agree with both of you that it's really disappointing that someone who has said that he's retired for good, can't stand up to his words. But I guess this is really all about the pay that he can get.
If there's a big offer to him and he can't decline, he'll take it.
He has spent that much money and he has to make money again and this usually is the mindset of the rich people including him, that when they have spent that much, they have to recover it in some ways that they can while they can.
From a standpoint of all the lower class here in the Philippines Manny Pacquiao was among them back in his younger life, and I think he doesn't want to go back to what he used to be, and I think in getting back all of the money he lost on his campaign, there is a lot of reason why and boxing is the only thing he knew that could bring food on their table, although he has a lot of business, endorsement advertisement, a gym he still is doing boxing or maybe he misses a fight inside the ring, But for me DK Yoo is not a worthy opponent for Manny Pacquiao, I think Jake Paul could be a slight worthy than DK Yoo, but Jake Paul would not mess with a Manny Pacquiao just yet,
He's indeed unlucky but he needed to face his consequence if he still wanted to get his name back at the top, it will be hard for sure because he is going to climb the ladder again and this time it will be in a different heavier division. He needs to get his career straight this year and have the fight before he waste another year of requesting and thinking his mistakes.
This got me thinking, if Magsayo and his camp really knows that it will give him this much struggle to reduce weight in bantamweight then they should have made a decision long ago because they literally wasted time and effort.
He really needs to pursue it before his age dwindles his speed and strength time is up to the essence he can not miss another opportunity and waste time on such controversial things he needs to move on for now, and stop waiting, Magsayo really needs this loss and take it as an experience for him, and this loss could be a lit fire to spark further into moving forward for him and there is no better teacher in life than experience, and I think this loss can be a fuel for him to excel in what he is doing, Sad day for the Philippines as we now have no World Champions left after Mark Magsayo loses his WBC Featherweight title.
It's now Donnie Nietes who will have the chance to bring another title for the Philippines but now on his 40 years old and not the same during his prime.
Although seen as underdog, I hope Philippines will back again holding another world title.
Donnie Nietes will have a fight this coming July 13, 2022, against Kazuto Ioka a defend the WBO junior-bantamweight title, Still Donnie Nietes got 3 more belts if he failed in defending this one, but his fight with Kazuto Ioka is an interesting one and anything can happen inside the ring, I really wish he can win a rematch against Kazuto Ioka, |

Sorry if this is like full sarcasm for Kevin Durant, I think the Brooklyn Nets have given Durant what he truly needs, given him the spotlight, paid him so much, and paying his Bill in his recovery for his Injury, but still he is giving this crap again in living,
Durant forget that 1 season he got paid while he still recovering, he should not ask to be traded and prove to the Nets that they made the right decision on signing him. Injury is really a big hindrance, that's why other teams does not see Durant is still the same Durant who won championships with the Warriors, I guess he will end up staying with the Nets as Nets needs to ensure they'll get the value in the trade. Well, I thought that Kevin Durant will be leaving the Brooklyn Nets anymore, and so the rumors are true, and with this maybe Kyrie Irving will be the one left on the Nets, It is crazy how Kevin Durant isn't satisfied on every team he is on, and right now he doesn't want to settle again with the Brooklyn Nets, but for me, if there is no further announcement this will still remain a rumor to me, 2016 was his last years on the Oklahoma Thunders, while 2019 was the last years on the Golden State Warriors while in the Brooklyn Nets it could be 2022, but still, we just need to calm down for a moment there is no given announce that he will really be traded to the other teams,
They don't see him worthy to be like how he was treated before, he's more prone to injuries and that's why where it's been seen and declined by most of the teams where the Nets offered him.
I don't know if the thing I've read about Golden State Warriors is for real that they're the ones who are interested in taking back Durant and they're gonna give away Poole and Wiggins. As I've said, I don't know if that article I've seen is real or just another meme.
Well, a lot of players that are on age 30 plus are really prone to injuries, so they need to put extra care on them, well we can not blame players that get injuries because they really don't want something like that to happen, so if their going to get a injury prone Kevin Durant they better be ready for the injuries, Well, it seems that we are reading a different article, I have seen an article of Teams that are illegible to get Durant if traded, and not really want, in an article that I have seen they don't need Kevin Durant anymore, pretty much they got no used for him, |

I think it's not just Durant that has been affected by the Warriors winning, obviously though he is the first one to be impacted. The whole NBA has to evolved again, imagine former players of Warriors getting good pay after just one year, maybe teams know they have the experience already. West teams like the Wolves as well, maybe thinking of getting big could offset the Warriors by getting Rudy Gobert. And I mean everyone is upgrading their roster now because the Warriors has raised the bar again, winning their 4th and definitely wanting to stop them to get their fifth. So that is the "Warriors effect".
Because of Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warrior's rich history, I think Durant now is scratching his head on why he left the Golden State Warriors chasing his dream to have a championship ring, but I guess he leaves the Golden State Warriors before because he wants to be the main player, and I think many teams are thinking of enhancing their defense and being ready for a team like the Golden State Warriors, I think they are preparing for the Warriors other rookies that have a possibility to explode like Jordan Poole, and right now Jordan Poole can still improve and we can surely see it on the next season, Moses Moody. https://www.nba.com/news/nba-2k23-summer-league-standouts-moses-moody-ultra-efficient-in-warriors-victoryMoody produced 34 points against the Knicks and looked solid at both ends. This coming after a season of relatively limited action: like Jonathan Kuminga, once the 2022 playoffs began, he was a victim of a numbers crunch as the Warriors leaned more toward Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Payton II during their championship run. Could be the new partner of Jordan Poole on bench production. He was not given many minutes but we saw him contribute many time especially in the outside range. They may push him to work harder so that spot of Otto Porter and Gary Payton II will be given to him. This is nice, another name who may possibly be talked about next season. Just run the play, do it right, and everything will fall at the right spot. I really love how the Rookie players of the Golden State Warriors are really improving so much, and not only Moses Moody but I think they are also focusing on Jonathan Kuminga to have his spotlight as well, for me Jonathan Kuminga's play style is like Ja Morant, this is just my opinion, or could be close to that, but in a more defensive way, and I think it can reflect that next season, now Moses Moody could surely be the next to take the position of both Otto Porter and Gary Payton II they will need their defensive strength up, for the next season,
Agreed but Nets hold the cards here. Durant is signed for 4 years they can screw him and send him to a crap franchise for a boat load of picks. Nothing really Durant can do. If I were the Nets I'd consider sending to a small aren't team who would give tons of picks and young ayers in return because they can never sign someone like Durant. That's just business too.
I really think they can do that but does that team have the financial capability on trading Durant, for me if Durant wants to be traded then they need to Trade him on the team tis hat likely be needing him, well who is the team that may don't really need Kevin Durant, in my opinion, there are tons of possibility what may be the problem on teams not wanting Kevin Durant, but here are the requirements for a team that wants a Kevin Durant, - Can't have two or more Superstars on the team
- Because Kevin Durant wants to be the main guy on the team I think this should be considered - Gets Credit for the Title
- Because he wants to be the main man on the team he surely wants credit for it, - Enough Asset to trade for Durant
- That team has the financial capability to keep Durant, even though the whole championship is blown up - Still Complete for the title
- This is for a sure shot to the championship because a championship win is not enough to win by a one-man only he still needs a viable teammate to do it, Sorry if this is like full sarcasm for Kevin Durant, I think the Brooklyn Nets have given Durant what he truly needs, given him the spotlight, paid him so much, and paying his Bill in his recovery for his Injury, but still he is giving this crap again in living, |

Manny Pacquiao versus the South Korean YouTuber, DK Yoo. I've tried to find for those articles on how much was offered to him.
And saw an analyst said that Pacquiao has nothing to little gain that he'll get from this comeback match. Well, it's an exhibition match and that really won't matter to him.
He's after the entertainment and talent fee he'll get on it but how much.
I really think this is DK Yoo's money that was put out so he can have a fight with Manny Pacquiao there is no exact amount on how much but I think they will not disclose this to the public, and if you know DK Yoo he is a youtube that has fought a retired MMA fighter once and that was Bradley Scott, and in my opinion, it was a terrible fight to watch, and the fight was clearly just for show Beadley Scott won that match DK Yoo is showing lack of experience in that fight and I think he really exposes himself that he can not fight at all, more Running around, Rolling, and hugging Bradley Scott to evade serious damage from Scott's punch, I really don't know why DK Yoo have challenged an actual fighter, with his Martial Arts technique that is just been good with movies, and right now he wants to fight a real boxer in a fight I don't really know what may happen to DK Yoo after this fight because 1 punch from Manny Pacquaio could be lethal for him, and respect for Bradley Scott for showing mercy on DK Yoo, because if those punches touches DK Yoo there will be a chance DK Yoo ending up in a hospital, Although I'm disappointed with the news that Manny Pacquiao will come out of retirement by participating in an exhibition match, that's his life.
He thinks that's fine or maybe he missed fighting in the ring already. I just don't understand why it should be against a Youtuber and not a real boxer that also on retirement now. With his impact, he can challenge those retired big names in an exhibition match and makes more money.
Looks like Manny is willing to ruin his legacy, well that's his career so I hope he will be happy with his decision:)
There might be something about this DK Yoo that Manny Pacquiao agreed to fight and from the special fight of DK Yoo against Bradley Scott a retired UFC fighter, and from that fight DK Yoo doesn't really have experience with real fights, this could surely ruin Manny Pacquaio's Legacy if he losses, but I think even though he wins this it will put a lot of question why did he fight a total amateur in boxing, DK Yoo's technique was all for show and not for real fighting, Maybe Manny Pacquiao misses fighting so much that an exhibition match between these Korean youtube will be worth it, for me, it is better to have an exhibition match with Jake Paul than with DK Yoo at least Jake Paul has some experience with boxing, or maybe this is just a start on his exhibition match,
I don't think it will ruin his legacy though, Floyd just got on the HOF recently, and for sure Manny will in the next couple of years. Maybe he really missed the action or just another job for him and his family, to continue to make money through his God given talent.
It might Ruin it for accepting to fight an amateur, even though he has experience as a martial artist boxing is different, if you have seen how DK Yoo fights you would realise why Manny Pacquiao accept the offer, check his fight against Bradley Scott, |

The result for the UFC Fight Night: Dos Anjos vs. Fiziev, for me is OK to lose on this event because I really don't put up any bets, but for RDA to hit the canvas like that was really a shocker, the only knockout that RDA get was 3 and those fighters are his fight with Jeremy Stephens, Clay Guida was a jaw injury, Eddie Alvarez and now Rafael Fiziev,
Rafael dos Anjos VS Rafael Fiziev ROUND 5 KO/TKO - LOST
I was shocked by the fight Rafael Fiziev Knockdown Dos Anjos, clearly, on the canvas, Michael Chiesa, Leon Edwards, Kamaru Usman Tony Ferguson, and Colby Covington can not Knock the guy down but Fiziev knock RDA down and the referee put a stoppage, and some say that it was an early stoppage but in my opinion, it was a good stoppage Fiziev will surely give RDA a hell of a beating when the referee couldn't stop it early, But in my opinion, Rafel Dos Anjos has so many opportunities to takedown or make engagement on Fiziev but he hasn't taken it, this is a head-scratching thing for me, and Rafel Fiziev clearly has a good takedown defense, that is why when Fiziev have seen an opportunity he will take it, so this is a clear win for Fiziev,
Said Nurmagomedov VS D. Silva de Andrade ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN
Clearly, that kicks from Said Nurmagomedov have put pressure on de Andrade, and pretty much Said Nurmagomedov takedowns, Silva de Andrade does have a solution to retaliate, but those kicks from Said were pretty much effective that all 3 judges give the fight to Said Nurmagomedov, Michael Bell, scored 30 - 27, Adalaide Byrd, scored 29 - 28, and Derek Cleary, scored 29 - 28 making it a unanimous decision win,
Jared Vanderaa VS Chase Sherman ROUND 3 KO/TKO - LOST
Vanderaa really has the power punch here that Sherman needs to be prepared that is why he has a good job, and head movement, while Vanderaa isn't moving his head so much, that is why Sherman's fist is always getting in, it was a close fight but Chase Sherman pretty much has many hits than Vanderaa, but on the 3rd round Vanderaa pretty much hitting Sherman I say it was a brawl, and when Sherman has got the opportunity he stormed into Vanderaa to win a KO/TKO,

That's true they used to be many streamers of fights, on Facebook specifically but I'm still lucky to find one and I hope my luck in finding a streamer continues in this fight, it's one of the fights I'd like to see since you mentioned your alternative link can you post it here.
Some streamers are good at evading detection usually they turn off the sound and restrict comments or change the title to evade detection.
Well, it is really good to share but the number of Pay Per views will surely go down, and instead of supporting the fight Streamers that share the fight on social media are Robbing the income, but I can not blame those who don't want to pay to get a glimpse of the fight, they don't want to waste money on a pay per view, that may let them feed their family instead, But there are streamers that are evading detection hackers that keeping them afloat I haven't seen a stream online so I have waited for the highlights instead, just to be true to myself I surely can wait patiently for the replay to be posted online, The latest update Vargas beat Magsayo by a split decision Magsayo scored a
Vargas SD-12 against Magasyo (115-112, 113-114, 115-112) to become new WBC Featherweight champion.
Vargas dominated from round 3 to round 8 with his stiff jabs, he uses his height and reaches advantage to ward off Magsayo's attack, I don't know if its over confidence but it seems Vargas has played his game well compared to Magsayo but this one deserves a rematch if there is in the contract that there is one.
I got to admit Rey Vargas was calculating and looking for his distance on the 1st two rounds, then dominates the following rounds, even though Mark Magsayo points a knockdown against Vargas in the 9th round, it is not enough for the number of Rounds Vargas have got, from that round Vargas was now careful on the last rounds, and Mark Magsayo is aggressive and wants to get a knockout, but to no avail, but yeah Rey Vargas did a good job in using his height advantage and always getting a clear shot on Magsayo, many say that Mark Magsayo was rob from this match but in my opinion, Vargas has gotten a lot of points to erase that Knockout point of Magsayo, I am for Magsayo on this fight, but I am not biased on what I see on the fight both fighters fight their all so a rematch is surely appropriate,
Kinda remind me of the match between Kambosos and Haney, where the taller guy with a long reach used it to his full advantage
Vargas used an old tactic for a tall guy to use his advantage by keeping his distance by jabs and side-to-side movement, Magsayo before the start of the fight showing too much confidence, great fighters don't do that, Vargas clearly had the number after the fight I though Vargas will win by unanimous decision, the community had its majority for Magsayo, there's really upsets and this is something that should not be ruled out.
Rey Vargas did a great job no doubt about that, even though Mark Magsayo can surely show a lot more, that long reach advantage for Vargas was keeping and pressuring Magsayo away, many are saying that the whole crowd was for Vargas, and even the judges and the referee, I'd say no I really think the judges made the right decision on this fight, Magsayo was really aggressive at Vargas, maybe because of the odds, he gets to the confidence that he can win against Vargas, but both fighters have shown remarkable style, and I would love a rematch please, |

Baldwin is not a Kevin looney type. The kid is more a wing who can handle the ball. Was highly recruited out of high-school with tons of potential but went to a small college to follow his dad and only played in a coue games which he underperformed. Golden state was probably the best fit for him in that he can learn from the likes of a klay and Wiggins to grow into a bigger role down the line.
I am basing on the kid's height but with his style of game he can be a Klay Thompson or an Andrew Wiggins there kids had so much potential on who he can be, but I think he is also playing defense so maybe we can not really know his true potential and we could only see it when the season begins, Well, a former GSW player, Payton II is no longer going to be part of his champ team. He'll be out of the team and will play for Portland Blazers. This is like a week old news but I've just seen it.
I thought that most of them will be retained by the management but it seems only those that had really contributed a lot. Thus, this is part of the business, letting go is a must and happens most of the time.
Gary Payton II seems happy on Portland Trailblazer here is the video clip, Gary Payton II is a great talent with stealing the ball, in their last game with the Phoenix Suns, he messes with Chris Paul by guarding him and ruining his game, Chris Paul eventually talking to the Ref, on why he hasn't called anything, but yes, Gary Payton, in my opinion, is a let go for the Golden State Warriors but things are not forever but Thank you Gary Payton II for his service for the Warriors,
While the recent game in the NBA 2013 Summer League Moses Moody got 32 PTS, 8/11 FG, and 3/5 3PT not an outstanding score like in the summer League game of Anthony Morrow that got 47 points but Moses Moody is still too good for Summer League and sadly the Warriors end up losing the game against the New York Knicks, which is still alright, but what a performance on Moody, |

It's hours before the fight and looking at the poll right now, I understand that 11 voters will not reflect the real opinion of the community but the 11 who voted must have total confidence on Magsayo, Who will win this fight? Magsayo - 11 (100%) Vargas - 0 (0%) Draw - 0 (0%) Total Voters: 11 On their weigh in Magsayo show too much confidence and excitement he even shows rip sign to the audience, he needs to understand that he is not fighting a patsy, he is fighting a former champion with an undefeated record Rey Vargas' record currently stands at 35 wins, 0 losses, and 0 draws. He is currently undefeated in a total of 35 contests. Of those 35 wins he has stopped 22 of his opponents, so his current knock-out ratio is 63%.
Make it 12, certainly, I didn't vote yet back then because I am looking at some fights on Rey Vargas, but it turned out I am still for Mark Magsayo, and I really don't know all of the voters, but in that 12 that vote, and the average posters on this thread maybe a percentage was all Filipino, but maybe some will say that it is kind of biased to only put vote on Magsayo what can we do, we as Filipino's supports each other, if any are for Vargas here please make a vote for Vargas, and I will add we definitely have total confidence over Magsayo, It's very obvious that most voters here are Filipinos, so we cannot prevent but to be biased because we believe that Magsayo will win and we support him. Yes, we will be seeing this big fight tomorrow, but I'm not sure how to watch this, is there any streaming site that would give a free pass for this event?
Definitely, we are supporting our own boxers just like what we did when Manny Pacquiao was only starting as a boxer, even though the voting pole was biased because most posters here are Filipino, so it is pretty obvious and all have total confidence over Mark Magsayo, that is for sure, Well, I also don't know how I can watch it live, but I think you need to look for pay-per-view so you can surely watch it live, I think that is the only option or hope that someone will share it live for you to stream it free, but I will just wait and see,
There will be free streaming tomorrow for sure, you can search on Facebook and you will see some streaming channels that would just ask for a GCASH Donation, however, I cannot say that they will give a stable free streaming coverage, so, be ready for any interruption.
Well, there will be free streaming for this fight, but I haven't seen any good once, maybe I will wait until I find one, but there are certain people who would do such things in donating money just to stream it for you, Well adding this up I think even in the Tapology votes Mark Magsayo is still the favorite to win with 57% votes to Rey Vargas with 43%,  |

^^ I guess the exhibition match is now the in for those who have retired, boxers, MMA fighters and others sports. So why not Manny? He has all the rights to do that as well and then earn some money. And I think he can still draw crowds, although he may have take so much damage through out his career, but it seems he has rested already and the body has healed as well. And for sure, this is just the start for Manny, maybe we can see him in the right with much known fighters such as Conor.
An exhibition match for Manny Pacquiao could be great, and he can surely get a lot of money from it, but if he could have a match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. I think that it is a different story, I could surely go bet for Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao is is not the same anymore, but on Floyd Mayweather's case he is showboating his opponents in an exhibition match, but I am still curious on what may happen now, and yeah the following exhibition match for Pacquiao is a Korean youtube, that is a martial artist, but DK Yoo is just for show for this exhibition match I don't know if he can really fight at all, I have seen his fight against Bradley Scott and it was hilarious seeing him inside the ring, he got a move where he literally rolls over, then after that fight, the result was a draw I really think all of it was in favor for DK Yoo, and it sucks,
But I would love to see the Ryan Garcia VS Javier Fortuna fight I am really excited about it, and here is all of the fight card in that event Garcia vs. FortunaSaturday 07.16.2022 Venue: Crypto.com Arena  MAIN CARDRyan Garcia VS Javier Fortuna - GBP Championship Alexis Rocha VS Samuel Kotey - CO-MAIN EVENT Ricardo Sandoval VS David Jimenez Lamont Roach Jr. VS Angel Rodriguez PRELIMINARY CARDDiego De La Hoya VS Enrique Bernache Miguel Goana VS Jonathan Guzman CANCELLED BOUTJ.
