Anyone heard of punching incident prior to the Suns vs Detroit games, wherein the Suns won?

It just caught my attention as I vividly remember that him and Lebron has also some altercations during their games wherein James "accidentally" elbow him that causes blow to flow and Stewart didn't like it and then he turn into a gangsta going after James and it took some of his team mates to restrain him.

It's just weird though, I mean Josh Taylor reach the top of 140 lbs, becoming just the second boxer to do that after Bud Crawford. But after that, it went downhill for him very quick. He vacated majority of the belt and just retain one. And then defended it against unknown Jack Catterall that time and it's supposed to be an easy fight for him. But he went toe to toe and almost lost it. Fans asking for a rematch, but he got injured and then deny Jack that rematch during that time. Lost to Teo and most likely could be in the sunset already and I do agree that he might consider retirement here if he lost to Jack without controversy.

I think as parent or a individual, we known what is coming already as we are still recovering from the pandemic 4 years ago. When we started to go back to our normal, everyone saw that the whole financial world is on the brink of collapse due to this. But we can't do anything about it as there are no jobs or those who have, barely survived.

Well that's life, take it or leave it. We have to wake up everyday, grind hard so that we will have food to earn in the table for our families. And we really have to face it head on. As business owners, we need to be innovative to stay in the game as you have said. It's going to be ugly in the next coming years. But as humans we all know that we can survived, we know this for a fact as our ancestors too has face worst but they were able to go on and continue.

Yes, halving is like 2 months or less, and maybe that time, who knows, because it's obvious that the next target is $60k for this month. And if it will be reach or even broken this February and this bullishness will continue to March then $69k will be without our grasp. And who would have thought that this is possible pre-halving to reach a new ATH (assuming that we will get to there). I don't know but this could be the first time that we are going to see it so that could be another record for us. And then it will have a domino effect, new ATH means that we might see the biggest run and then minimum $100k next year and 2025 we will have like $180k. Everyone seems to be excited right now as we have broken $50k and scenarios are coming up.

^^ He is not going to retire, he just said that he will not fight Mexican next. And there are noises from within the boxing community and even in social media that his next opponent will be Jermall Charlo. And we boxing fans want to see him against David Benavidez, but it's not going to happen for now. David though is the interim WBC champion while Canelo is their regular champion. But WBC doesn't want to force Canelo as he is the cash cow and obviously Sulaiman's favorite and so he can dictate who he wants to fight. And base on his contract with PBC, they have Jermall Charlo in their stable so it's going to be easy to set up the fight. It's that if the fans are going to buy the tickets. But I will assumed that they will, as we all know that Canelo is still the cash cow and no matter who his opponent will, fans are more willing to see him either live or PPV.

Hacksaw I do agree, it's really hard to hit the bonus, game like "Wanted Dead or a Wild". But I love those even if it very hard to hit the bonus, because once you hit it, chances are it might give you a good return as per may experience. Experience if you got those in the 5x5, for sure gonna be huge multiplier  . I'm not familiar with Wazdan though. But I guess 'worst slot provider' will not be the term here, it could be their RNG and it really will take a lot of luck in your side to really hit that bonus and then hope that you will get a lot of multipliers to win big.

Even Steph Curry looks at him and perhaps he knows a thing or two about his team mates. Not saying that it was a flop or something, they didn't call a time out and just let the play go. They even scored with a dunk. Anyhow, they take a win in the road against the Jazz, Draymond had a good game shooting from the outside with 23 points. And then Klay, getting his range to lead the Warriors with 35 points and reached 15,000 career points. After they were stop from their winning streak the last time, it seems that they are back again and now just above the .500 but still way below the West before the All star break.

What's bad about this match up is that Jermall Charlo is not very active.

He already said that he will not fight another Mexican, so it narrow down to Charlo. PBC hasn't had a tie with the Saudi, so far as far as I know only 3 promotions have taken advantage of the rich oil money in boxing, Top Rank by Bob Arum, Match Room by Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions. And perhaps this is the mistakes not just by PBC, but Oscar as well by not engaging Saudi and saying that it will hurt their boxers fighting in the Middle East.

Regardless though, it's just the question on how long you gonna hold, for starters, it's better to try for a year or two and see how it goes for you. And if you can retain that mindset to invest that long time, then it's going to be profitable. For example, when we hit lowest low during the bear market of 2022 at $15,500. You start and then continue to invest in whichever way you can, for sure by this time you are already in the + side of it. So it's more on a mental battle for being a long term holder here as there could be a lot of temptations to sell as well when you see your portfolio going up and calculating the paper profit.

Yes, names like Rolly Romero and even Pitbull Cruz was being thrown around Ryan and even he confirms or denies those fights. I think it's more of cashing in with his popularity and doesn't care about his 0 or losses any more as obviously he had one already. Or maybe GBP or Oscar is trying to satisfy Ryan Garcia. For sure we all have heard that him and Ryan are not seeing eye to eye. So maybe to please Ryan, he had to deliver big money fights for him. And perhaps Oscar has learn from his previous cash cow Canelo that he needed as promotional manager to give what this fighters want and that is big money fights for their ego and lifestyles. I don't think that Ryan will cancel this fight, everything has been set up including that shove he did on Devin Haney on Super bowl night.

Notable on the win by the Lakers, AD and Rui who scored 30+ points, it's the first time since Shaq and Kobe did it. Rui's score came from isolation early in the quarter as he is taking advantage of small Jazz player guarding him. And then in the second half, he found his touch outside. Spencer Dinwiddie as well with his 10 points as a Laker is big too. But no one talks about D'Lo's 17 assists in this game and that is also his new career high. So everything if falling into pieces for the Lakers after some bad start after they won the in season tournament and they are definitely back. They also have some of the best and deep bench in my opinion.

Yeah, they ended the winning streak of the Warriors, everyone is struggling, except Curry. And that is the thing with them, Klay is very inconsistent, last time he had a good shooting shot, and now he is back to his old self and it was only Curry who tries to carry the team on his back. But it's going to be hard if you are trailing and everyone is struggling. So I guess they are back in the drawing boards again and see what went wrong for them. And so finally Clippers is also back in the winning column, I do agree, if everyone is healthy this team is hard to beat. Their second unit with Powell and Westbrook is enough to be a starting five in other teams.

Yes, Bitcoin is a volatile asset, although there are some tools to help us predict, it's not that accurate. As we can see, when we had the ETF approved, we thought that it's automatic $50k for us. But guess what? the price moves in the opposite direction, it goes to $39k. But then again, after a week or two, price is now $50k and now still moving to $52k. So maybe we can see another correction, or maybe the price will continue to go up, only time can tell. And again, there will be some technical analysis that seems to be predicting this movement, but it could be invalidated by a simple negative news and pull down the market again. But we still up some aces, the block halving. It will be the catalyst for the price to increase in the future and welcoming us for the bull run.

I wouldn't call it boring even if the fight goes to 12 rounds. Bivol fights against Canelo is not boring, there are moments when you think that Canelo will win when he pressures Bivol, but Bivol will come back with his high volume that will back down Canelo. So that kind of scenario might happen here, Beterbiev, pressuring all night, but Bivol somewhat survived that power and because of his high guard, Beterbiev will have a difficult time cracking that defense. And that's why the odds are almost even right now, we don't know what kind of scenario will happen. There are many angles, but many Beterbiev uses his power and then Bivol  throws a high number of punches,  various angles, in order to overwhelm Beterbiev with sheer quantity of punches causing him to be defensive most of the times.

And that's what you love George Kambosos, he learn to capitalized even if he lost twice to Haney. And most likely it has luck has something to do with it. He is with Top Rank and so is Loma. And now that the belt is vacant, they are given a chance by the body to fight for it. So even if his career is destroyed, he can bounce back with just another win here. But it's not going to be easy, Loma is also on a way to recover from that controversial defeat and he has been dreaming again to become a champion since their first fight was cancelled because of the war in his native country. But Kambosos is a huge underdog but he might be looking at another performance that he pulled against Teo Lopez. So he is looking for a big upset here.

Yeah, it was a big rebound by Grayson Allen, and maybe this is the reason why they wanted Royse O'Neal as well as he hits a crucial 3 point shot for a separation from the Kings. And you feel the rivalry between the two teams, and for sure if they met in the playoffs, the series could be a heated one. Malik Monk is so animated being pitted against Kevin Durant. But in the end, it was a good win for the Suns, and we also have to mentioned Eric Gordon, he seems to turn back the clock with a huge performance to cover for Beal. As it was reported that he had a left hamstring injury. And those two All Star snubs? Fox and Sabonis combined for 75 big points between them. Fox with 40 and Sabonis 35 and bullying his way around.

Yeah, as per the original indictment, people who are victims here can report it to a email address. It's now the job of US DoJ to filter that out as there could be someone who will take advantage of that reporting system. These 2 individuals have rekt havoc already and so it's just about that the US DoJ will have to step up again and arrest this individuals, to get rid of this infrastructure for good. I wonder though what this criminals are feeling when they scam people with their RAT and then milking unsuspecting victims. For sure justice will be served here, the US DoJ will not chase this individuals and not have a airtight case against them.

I check the price and currently it's in the lows of $49k, maybe there's a dump already, but at least it's not that huge. But we will see, most of the time as per experience, if we see this kind of whole numbers, investors then to sell and make profits. We can understand that, that's how everyone makes money, but perhaps there will be no big retracement just like what we previously seen from $45k-$39k. So exciting times ahead specially for newbies to see the big $50k. This is just the beginning though, this whole bull cycle, we might see a x2 or x3 or that current price so just HODL and continue to buy is the better strategy than selling.

Yes, not to mentioned the Spurs as well winning against the Raptors with that big performance by the Wemby. And Warriors as well, on a winning streak and bet the Utah Jazz. And Mavs almost losing to the Wizards, as Washington was keeping tabs and even take the lead, before the Mavs beat them in the 4th quarter, 34-16, a 18 point swing, just enough for them to win. Just shows another night wherein it's very unpredictable. And even for bettors who just bet on 1 game, it will be a complete disaster to see that many underdogs won, even in the road.

18+ is supposedly the age in some countries wherein it is legal to gamble and play. Most, in land base casinos, if they feel that they look young, I see personnel stopping them before entering and asking for ID if they indeed are within the legal age. I'm not sure about experience though, doesn't make sense, I mean casinos doesn't care if you have experience or not. Most important thing is that you are within the legal age and then you have money to play that's it. If you don't have experience but win, then it's beginner's luck, that's it. Experience has nothing to do with it, and casinos are going to allow you to play and will not restrict you as long as you are in the age limit.
