Back to the topic, they are contemplating a June 5 date in Abu Dhabi for this fight and if this pushes through, i'm predicting a knockout win by Crawford.

LOL.. a win for Terence Crawford.. and that too by KO? I understand that Terence Crawford is a very good boxer. But I have checked his professional record and all of his wins came against little known opponents. You can say that Amir Khan was an exception, but when the fight happened (2019) he was in decline and was no match for Crawford. Fighting against Pacquiao is going to be much tougher for Crawford.

Lol, you only checked his record? Have you not watched a Crawford fight?

If you are a hardcore boxing fan, you certainly can appreciate the talent of Crawford. He may not yet in his prime but he is close to that while Manny is fading away. You could clearly see the depreciation of Manny's endurance in the Thurman fight. In the second half of that fight, Manny gassed out and absorbed too many blows, ATH in his career and if not for that early knockdown, he could have lost that fight.

With a bigger Crawford, Manny is in for the beating, for sure many would argue with me but that is how the way i see it and i would put my money on my speculation.

My pick for today:

Jazz -5.5 @2.0 vs Mavs

Isa lang muna tatayaan ko, pangtanggal kalawang sa prediction talent, ilang araw rin kasi tayo nawala eh.

after they have a good president, the standard of the Filipinos has been uplifted and they now have a high expectation, higher than the capability of the current president and I guess whoever the current president will endorse will win.

Well.. I have heard about Duterte and I know that he has insanely high approval ratings. But Manny is just 42 years old. What if he is planning to run for the post of president after 5, 10 or even 15 years? Rodrigo Duterte is 76 years old and I don't think that he will remain in office for very long. He has already completed five years in office and I would say that he is not going to stay as president after 2026. By then Pacquiao will be 47 years and he will be having enough experience in the field of politics as senator.

Got your point in here mate but i think the capacity of a person to run a country doesn't increase as he aged. Our country at the moment does not need a religious and forgiving leader as this is very prone with abuse. What we need is a leader with an iron will and willing to fight the oligarchs that seems to make our previous president a puppet. Pacman will not be president, people have learned their lessons.

Back to the topic, they are contemplating a June 5 date in Abu Dhabi for this fight and if this pushes through, i'm predicting a knockout win by Crawford.

As of now, there is no official announcement about Pacquiao's next fight and he does is roaming the country to gather support for the upcoming election. The guy wanted to become the President of the Philippines, which is not befitting to him really. He could have had for Senator again if he really aims for helping the people. He could even get number 1 for that. The presidency is not gonna work for him. Anyway, I agree with you that Golovkin is not a good match for Pacquiao and the man is making a name for himself and still fresh in the ears of the people. However, if the fight will gonna happen, then that will be a good one though.

Though there is no official announcement yet on this fight but talks of this happening soon in the Middle East is in full throttle, maybe Top Rank is hyping this one in order to get a financier to fund this fight.

Pacman running for President of the Philippines is insane. As a Filipino i don't want our country to experienced again what we have ten or more years ago. Using his popularity in boxing to lure people to vote for him in the highest office of the land is b___t.

Alex Mallari, Jay-R Reyes now free agents after Phoenix exit

We have free agents here, I don't know about Jay-R Reyes impact in a team but I guess Alex Mallari still has something to give in a team. Maybe some team could acquire him in free agency, he can be a good help especially in defense.

Jay-R Reyes is one of the most dominant Forward-Center during his prime days in Rain Or Shine. He is part of the original ROS team (former Welcoat).

His prime is now past and now entering the retirement period. He is not performing well for several seasons now. Since it's pandemic, I think he should consider hanging his jersey now. I doubt a team will still interested in him or if there's any, expect that the contract is not that decently.

Still young at 36 but have already past his prime, while Alex Mallari is just 34 years old and though not on his prime anymore but the way I see it, he can still play well if given a good role in a team. Maybe Magnolia could be interested in him, Calvin knows him and that is Alex old team.

I really don't know what's in it with Jay-R Reyes, he got the height but it seems that he never played to his full potential. He is one of the players that Welcoat thought that will dominate in the PBA but that never happen. With the young players around and lot of free agents, i don't think PBA teams are interested in his service.

I agree with that, but how about Alex Mallari? Do you think he will land a team before the opening of the new season? He is a free agent together with Jay-R Reyes but Mallari is younger and still looks hunger to contribute the best he can for his team, if not only because of injury, he could have played more with the Phoenix.

With Alex Mallari, i think there is another issue on his case.

His style of play or the way he play is not so impressive that his position can be taken by a full bloodied Pinoy with lower salary.

We all know that every team has a limit on the number of Fil-Foreigner on its team so i think Phoenix is planning to draft Fil-foreigner next season (just my thought) if there is an opportunity to pick high caliber Fil-ams, but still i think it's the ratio with salary with respect to performance is the main reason why Phoenix was letting him go.

Maybe Blackwater will save this guy this season, don't you think?  Grin

Pickt ko today isa lang..

Boston -9.5.. wala si Hayward, kaya Boston na yan.

Salamat naman at nanalo ang pick kung ito. Di na ako kinabahan sa larong ito, 2nd quarter and 3rd quarter bumomba ng husto ang Celtics kaya relax nalang sila sa 4th quarter.  Final score nga pla, 86-116, 30 points win by the Celtics, kaya easy ang -9.5.

Congrats kabayan, sayang hindi ako nakasilip sa larong ito kanina, kakarating lang galing sa maikling bakasyon hehe.

Mahal na pala ng XRP ngayon, nakakapanghinayang na. Ano kaya maganda pampalit nito pansamantala? Yong instant deposit at instant din yong withdrawal.

3068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jamel Herring vs Carl Frampton WBO Super-featherweight Title on: April 04, 2021, 09:52:02 PM
As I have predicted, Herring will win this one, but I never thought to end it like this way. Frampton is really outclass and Herring has strategy for both inside and outside fight. His corner is shouting bully him when they are inside and then he uses his reach. And Frampton can't really adjust to his length and when Frampton goes inside, he is met with straight left. And then he has to lunge just to get his shot, but it's very dangerous. ML for Herring is very attractive if you have bet early on this fight.  Smiley

I never though that the fight would end that way considering that both were not in their prime anymore and also both have low KO percentage but kudos to Herring for winning this 50/50 fight.

Bonus for this card is that the Philippine's record holder for the longest defense of a title Donnie "Ahas" Nietes won over Carrillo on a masterful performance even with that more than two years layoff.



i should have put more on this match as i placed bet on herring. lol but anyway the almost 50/50 odds by bookies >> it means bookies really have no clue that herring will dominate this one. anyway, lets see who's gonna be the next opponent of herring. it will be very soon so he is just fresh from training. would not be hard for him to undergo another training.


As what i have said in my previous post, what makes this fight interesting is that there is no sure favorite to win the fight and it reflects on the betting odds, bookies even put Herring the slight the underdog on this one.

About his next opponent, Herring wants a unification fight with Oscar Valdez but i don't think he can beat the latter. If i were him, i'll go first with the mandatory defense then the unification fight with Oscar and if he loses, retirement might be a good thing for him.
3069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Hafthor Bjornsson vs Alex Simon exhibition fight on: April 04, 2021, 02:19:41 PM
Another exhibition fight match again?

I noticed that there are most matches now are on exhibition fights, sometimes I may think that this exhibition fight is real?
As I know there is no official winner on this exhibition fight because it's purely an entertainment game and a non-profitable game and I guess the fighters will earn through the reward.

Anyway, is the exhibition match the same rules in a real boxing fight? I mean are they the same 12 rounds to finish the match.

Why boxing exhibition matches is trending nowadays? I think boxing body should regulate this one as they are making the sport somewhat like a circus. I'm a little bit okay if the exhibition match involves former boxers not youtubers or anyone not related to the sport of sweet science.

About the bolded text, i think the number of rounds defends on the agreement but usually it is not a 12-round affair. The rules i think is the same with regular boxing match.

3072  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are your Top Crypto Picks for April? on: March 31, 2021, 11:44:04 AM
Why a lot are forgetting about bitcoin? don't forget about bitcoin because it's always the capital of the market and balancer of most portfolios. You will rarely see someone have a bad portfolio if it contains mostly bitcoin. But you'll see a lot of portfolios that contains a lot of altcoins yet very unbalanced because they're mostly at loss. Not that top 5 at all, Bitcoin and ETH would be the top 2 and might add some BNB.

It's because this section is for altcoins discussion mate  Smiley.

But you are right, the safe way to invest is to buy bitcoin or ether and hold it for long.

The only good thing for some altcoins is if you can hit the jackpot, meaning you did bought coins with less than a dollar and then appreciate and double or triple it's value in just a little time.

Not to be outdone but i too have a pick, Ravencoin. What do you think of this coin/project?
3073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: March 31, 2021, 11:10:55 AM
Still, in progress and not finalized but sources stating recently the target date and location, the fight might actually happen.

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/31167314/manny-pacquiao-terence-crawford-talks-june-fight

I will give it a 50% chance that it will happen. Once we see Manny Pacquiao on the news that he goes back in hard practice, we already know it's now final.

I though all this while that talks of a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Terence Crawford is already dead.  Grin

We all know that Bob Arum won't pay what Manny have asked but i think they got some billionaires onboard to sponsor this fight.

Might be the last one for the Pacman if this pushes through as election time in the Philippines is fast approaching and he will be very busy that time campaigning for the top position of the land hehe.
he has good record, but if I were Terrence I should not force him to fight Pacman, all the fighters he had face before, change the way they fight after Pacman, all the explosiveness disappear, I don't know what kind of hands does manny have, but other opponents he had face all of them says, it's fast and hard and it really hurts, he may win but he will never be the same again after that, challenge other fighter but if he still wants manny he should be ready to retire early in his career.

Every Welterweight want a piece of Manny Pacquiao and it's a no-brainer that Terrence Crawford would take this one without hesitation.

He knows that he can beat Pacman on this stage of his career and needless to say, the biggest purse so far.

If only both fighters are in their prime, no doubt that Pacman would demolish Terrence but every good thing has an end and this might be changing of the guard as Terrence will now be the top dog on this division.

As a fan of Manny, i don't want this fight as this could do more harm than good to his health but knowing Manny that he always love challenges and i do hope that he won't be harm on this one.

Nuggets -5.5 @1.98 vs Sixers
Wizards +3.5 @1.90 vs Hornets

Good luck sa atin.

Salamat ulit sa tips mo. Oo nga, ewan ko ba at kinapos ang New York knicks kahapon sa Miami Heat, akala ko sigurado na sila eh. Pili na lang ako na lang sa picks mo sana ma swertihan hehehehe. Gusto ko yung Clippers at Wizards.

Not a good day for us bro, 1-3 lang ako ngayon. Natalo pa ang Clippers at hindi na-sustain ng Hawks yong momentum nila in the fourth quarter, sayang.

Baka pahinga muna ako, magmuni-muni ng kaunti, Holy Week na kasi hehe.

3076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Cotto vs Marquez - Exhibition match on: March 31, 2021, 08:05:38 AM
This is a surprise:

Surprising indeed lol, Marquez could have choose to fight Pacquiao at this stage, they have unfinished business so to speak.
He could have get more than this exhibition match.

Oh well, retired boxers are now on the exhibition match. I think this fight should have happened when they are still fighting, Pacquiao has the luxury to fight these two legendary boxers, specially Marquez. Information is sketchy at this point.

Perhaps Cotto will be the slight favourite here.

Cotto will be the favorite here, no doubt about that because he is the bigger and younger of the two.

Cotto have not fought Marquez because of boxing politics, Bob Arum was too focused on milking Pacman at that time that they missed this match-up.
3077  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are you guys happy if bitcoin will dropped to $10k? Why? on: March 30, 2021, 09:24:56 PM
Since bitcoin is bullish, I'm thinking what if it will dump, so I would like to know the what people think here.

Are you guys happy if bitcoin will dropped to $10k? and Why?

Though i still don't have that much bitcoin but i would not it to drop to $10K.

I believed in the saying "The best time to buy bitcoin is when it is below $1 and the second best time to buy it is now".

So instead of wanting bitcoin to drop to $10K, buy now and hope it would reach $100K.
3078  Economy / Speculation / Re: I have a relatives who ask advise to invest, what should I do? on: March 30, 2021, 08:53:55 PM
My advice, don't give out advice. Or at the very least tell them they are better off not investing, you won't be blamed if there is a bigger correction.

I just think that it's better to give his relatives some ideas about crypto, not totally advising on what particular coins to invest to.

Per experience, most of the coins in the top 20 ranking appreciate in value overtime and if you hold into it i think we still profit though it will take some time but at least it is still a gain, this should be emphasized to someone seeking advises about cryptocurrency.

Talking about Ray Parks, I've seen articles that he said that he's ready to stay away from basketball. After the issue about him, that seems to be a good move for him to avoid further criticism that he's getting lately.

Ray Parks, too proud and it would do nothing on his career. He said he is willing to step away from the game of basketball but i doubt that, he is just sour-graping.

If only he have good advisers, the good thing for him at the moment is not talk on social media and instead talk privately to MVP and there might be a chance to salvage his career just like what Greg Slaughter did.
