Addiction to something happens because the sufferer feels comfortable, full of satisfaction (dopamine effect) when doing that. slots feature amazing animations and also great prizes easily if the player is lucky. I don't like slots but for lottery and soccer betting, I really love and feel addicted Grin
Just because it's easy to do doesn't mean you need to play it every day and that's what most people became after they suffered such addiction from playing slot machines. some of them are buried in debt because of these small matters that they could have avoided if they remained patient about their life. Slots are addictive because the environment where they put them has lots of people enjoying what they are doing at the moment but in reality, most of them are soon to suffer some serious depression when they lose everything they have in this tricky game.
most of the people who try to play slots for the first time will definitely win, this is what spurs them to continue playing and playing until without realizing it, they have become addicted. If a slot player is able to control himself and never owes anyone else to play slots then daily slot players will be able to control their finances, but this is not an easy job.

slots are indeed addictive if you are to give in! this basically will depend on the person himself to what extent he will dwell on this gambling activity. if he doesn't contemplate on what's going on with his life, he can really go deep into this game. and it will be too late before he understands that he's in terrible situation. but he needs to address his situation if it is already affecting his health, finances and his relationship with his immediate family.

It's already been proven that slots machine are more highly addictive than playing other games in the casino, and that is because of there graphics and lights that will really stick into the people's brain, especially that golden-yellow dollar sign. But, I really do agree that even if it's addictive, it's up to us how we counter these situations and make the proper mindset before we decide to play these machines because if we just let ourselves gave in then I'm afraid that a terrible situation is already approaching our way.

Slight bad news. Ang 2022 drafts na dapat 60 ay naging 58 na lamang dahil sa tampering violations ng Miami Heat at Milwaukee Bucks. Dahil ito sa mga negotiation deals ng Miami kay Lowry at Milwaukee naman kay Bogdanovic.

Sa tingin niyo favorite ba o tagilid si Kai makapasok sa drafts ngayon? So far sa lahat kung sites na natingnan over the past weeks ay 2 lang sa kanila ang naisali si Kai sa top 50/60. Pero malay natin tapos sa Golden State Warriors pa dahil half ata ng roster nila free agents. Grin  

Yung mga napapanood ko sa youtube ay mga pinoy vloggers, lahat ata naniniwala na papasok si Kai, kaya lang bias yun, hehe..
Pagdasal nalang natin na makapasok ang big man natin sa NBA.

Napansin nyo ba yung commercial ngayon ng Jazz, si Kabayang Clarkson na yung main cast not sure lang kung may nakapansin na

yung patungkol sa pagbalik nila sa old uniform nila, yung dating gamit nila Karl Malone at John Stockton na ulit ang gagamitin nila

nagulat lang ako kasi imbis na either si Gobert or si Mitchell ang nasa commercial si kabayang JC na ang nag bida, parang sa personal

ko lang na tingin baka si Mitchell ang itapon pero syempre abang abang na lang din muna sa mga darating na announcement.
Parang si JC lang ata ang sure na hindi matrade sa Jazz. Mas safe kasi pag si JC na lang sa Jazz ads dahil pwedeng mas gusto ng Utah e-trade si Mitchell pero mas favorable pala mga counter offers ng ibang teams para kay Gobert.
Mas mabuti kung ma trade si Mitchell, siya ang leader ng Jazz pero parang wala namang improvement ang nangyayari sa Team. Mas maganda rin na baguhin nila ang system nila, gawin nilang mas effective si Gobert sa offense kasi malaki ito at mas maganda kung maging threat ito, kailangan lang ay star player na magaling mag set up hindi one on one play ang alam.

I'm not sure yet if it has already recovered, it only stayed $20k and it's not moving yet, I'm afraid that what we are seeing is just a bull trap. As of the moment, I'm still not convince that the bear market is already over, if it does recover, I believe it will not hold for long.

Anyway, let's just enjoy the price volatilty, day trading is the key if we are done accumulating to HODL.

Nauna pala ang coach ng Utah,

https://www.nba.com/news/quin-snyder-resigns-as-coach-of-jazz-after-8-seasons

Nag resign na pala, baka ang susunod na nito eh si Mitchell na nga hehehe. Tapos yung assistant coach ng Warriors na si Kenny Atkinson, na na interview daw ni Michael Jordan at pumayag na maging head coach ng Charlotte Hornets next season ay nagbago ang isip at babalik na sa Warriors as assistant parin. Solid naman kasi eh, kapapanalo lang nila ng isa pang ring at babalik para sa isa pang run.

Kung kay Kai Sotto, kahit siguro anong team, ang mahalaga Philippine representz hehehe.

Ung kay Kai Sotto lang ang interest ko sa mga nilatag mo kabayan, gusto ko rin kasi talagang makita sya sa kahit anong team at sana makalaro sya talaga hindi lang basta na draft pero sana magkaroon sya ng playing time, medyo dehado kasi sya bilang big man kumpara sa mga makakabanggaan nya sa NBA, kung maalala natin Taco at si Bol parehong matatangkad at may mga tira din pero hindi masyadong nabigyan ng opportunities.

Sana si Kai buhatin ng media hype yung tipong parang si Yao Ming nung mga era nya, para talaga mahasa ang batang kababayan natin.



Ako rin, okay lang na makita siya kahit anong team, basta meron na tayong full blooded NBA player, at sa tingin ko, malaki talaga ang chance ni Kai Sotto na makapasok. Basta mag improve lang siya, balang araw baka maging superstart na rin ito. Makikita na name ni Kai Sotto sa betting sites for draft picks, that alone, maganda sign na yan na may chance.

Magandang chance to at kung madaming magsusugal sa kanya baka makatulak din ng maliit na influence alam naman natin na meron ding mafia sa loob ng NBA pero medyo mas maingat ang mga nagpapalakad, moving back sa batang Kai ung opportunity na kumatok sa kanya eh talagang dapat ma grab na nya, bihira kasi yung ganitong pagkakataon. Ano kaya sa tingin nyo kung kunin sya ng Sacramento which nandun si coach Jimmy magagamit kaya sya dun, kahit na asa G-league lang si coach Jimmy baka naman kahit mahinang boses eh marinig din at mabigyan ng lugar itong si Kai.

Si kai na bahala sa pag improve nya, kung talagang magkakaimpact sya kung sakaling makalaro sya sa NBA

sana lang talaga bigyan sya ng oras na makalaro at makapagpakita ng galing.

Sa tingin ko hindi sugal ang basihan, kung gusto talaga ng NBA na gumanda pa ang market nila sa Pilipinas, kailangan meron silang representative na makakapag hype sa mga fans, at sa ngayon, ito na ang magandang chance na mag draft sila ng pinoy, kung baga, business strategy dahil alam naman natin ang business ang NBA.

Basta tiwala lang kabayan, pasok yan si idol Kai.

Kailangan na talagang buwagin tong Jazz, parang walang chemistry na nangyayari kapag play-off season na. Parang Westbrook din tong si Mitchell na kahit sinong ka-tandem ay hindi pa rin makuhang makapasok sa Finals hehe.

Tama ka kabayan, sayang lang ang talent ng ibang players kung hindi masyadong ma maximize. Gumaling sila nung pumasok si Clarkson sa kanila, pero sa playoffs talaga sila nagkaka problema. Sana ma trade si Mitchelle, siguro gaganda na chemistry ng Jazz.
3089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 18, 2022, 12:13:23 PM
That is a tough decision because as you said Artur Beterviev has a 100% knockout rate and chances are good that he can continue his streak but Joe Smith vowed in the past few days that he will end Artur's KO streak, so my guess will be same as you, the latter will go fighting while trying to survive Artur's ferocious punches. For now, that will remain a question until the announcer announces who will win the fight later but you might be right and the odds to win by decision are tasty too.

If that's the real goal of Joe Smith Jr, is to just end the Knockout streak of Beterbiev and that is not winning at all, and will surely make boxing fans salty about it, I still think Joe Smith Jr, will get the good stuff out of him and plan on taking the win aswell, by cracking in a lot of points for this fight, I truly don't want to believe that Joe Smith Jr, is just going to aim for the KO streak of Beterbiev, that is not what people kame to watch, they want a real war and they are watching this fight and liked Beterbiev style because he truly aims for the KO, and people like that craft about him, and for Joe Smith Jr, to ruined that legacy he is the true villain here,

I didn't say that Joe Smith Jr. will just be there to end Artur Beterbiev's KO streak without having a goal in mind to win the fight. Sorry for the confusion, as I said, Joe will go fighting while trying to survive Artur's ferocious punches (that could highly knock him out). Joe Smith have a shot for winning the fight while ending Artur's streak because he is more experienced than the latter and frankly he's more younger and that could give him an advantage in-terms of gas tank.
3090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: June 18, 2022, 09:42:31 AM
^^ I think it will back fire on Crawford if this fight will break down just because he wants more or at least 50/50. He is a good fighter no doubt, but his PPV numbers are not that good compare to Spence and he should accept that fact.

So we can say that Spence is the A-sde and could be dictating the terms. But that should be fine with Crawford. What is foremost is that this fight is going to be made without any manager excuses on the side of Crawford. Because that has been the sticking point ever since, Bob Arum doesn't want to deal or wont allow Crawford face a PBC fighter. That is eliminate since he is managing his own career now.

Spence has nothing to lose if Crawford will choose not to make this fight happen, both are still undefeated but based on the number of belts, Spence has an edge and most of his opponents are quality opponents compared to Crawford. He should not be greedy here, be smart and take the chance even if he only gets 40% of the total purse or revenue.

Yes, you are right that mate, they are both undefeated and this fight will happen maybe the best fighter win and claim the belts. But there's no formal announcement yet for this fight maybe it will happen in the last month of this year.
Also I agree with you mate that Spencer must not be too much greedy for this fight cause if. He doo that for sure Crawford will use that as a big advantage wait for the timing and boom spence will loss.

If this fight won't materialized, it will be Crawford's loss as he needs Spence more than the latter needs him. But I certainly believe that this fight won't just remain a hype and eventually we can get some updates soon regarding to its date and place as well as the time, Crawford has been waiting for this and now Spence is answering. A 40% purse cut is already big on his behalf because he is now free agent unlike Spence who have promoter to share with.
3091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: June 17, 2022, 06:40:21 PM
That can be right as we don't know yet what would be Canelo's next move after he's finished with GGG but the way I see it, he will go for Bivol again to settle his score, he may be the challenger but he needs it to regain his name after that defeat. It cannot be denied that Canelo's name and hype has been affected after that so avoiding a rematch will not restore him as it will be clear that he can't go and defeat boxers in Light-heavyweight and Segey Kovalev will be his only trophy in the said division.

It is also possible that Canelo would try to redeem his honor and try to get back at Bivol. But the way I see it, that would be a futile plan. If I were Canelo, I'd rather face somebody who is much more popular and would be much more profitable to fight against but would be an easier opponent.

Bivol was too huge and too strong for Canelo. I also thought that Canelo could handle him because he already had knocked out a man of a similar weight before. But then if we take a look at Kovalev and compare him to Bivol. Kovalev was on his way down when he was faced with Canelo. Bivol was still a young and undefeated fighter when he defeated Canelo. They were of the same age and on top of their careers.

It is possible, yes, but I think we know Canelo enough that his motive in this industry was not to get an easy opponent even if it's profitable. I say he would go at his limit to have his own legacy and the money will follow anywhere he goes as any fight he would get will be full packed as well as PPV revenue's that he could make.

Aside from Bivol being huge, he's more comfortable at his own division while Canelo was indeed struggling at that weight class. About their power, I'd say they're somehow equal and fair. In the past, he's looking to move at cruiserweight, right? And that didn't materialized as he definitely know that he is just a somebody at that division.

Finish na, grabe yong panalo ng mga Warriors' believers ngayon dahil sila pa yong underdog sa larong ito @2.45 ata, congrats sa inyo at buti nalang at niliitan ko yong pusta ko sa Boston ngayon para sa plano ko hehehe (above post).

Nanaig talaga yong pagka-beterano ng mga Warriors lalo na si Curry, kung anong sama ng 3-point PG niya noong game 5 ay binawi naman niya ito ngayon, ika nga you can't put a good man down hehe.

Panigurado may natutunan din tong mga batang Celtics na magagamit nila sa susunod na season, malas nga lang nila na peak pa yong laro ni Steph at finally nakakuha na rin siya ng Finals MVP award.

Wala naman akong masasabi sa pinakita ng Boston pero gaya ng sinabi mo nasa peak pa talaga si Curry tapos yung support nila Thompson, Poole

Green at lalo na ni Wiggins yun talaga yung nagpakalas sa laro na to, anlupit nilang lahat kahit sino pa yung lima na nasa loob same play same

ikot yung ginagawa nila, wala silang kaba kung sino ang titira. Sobra yung tiwala nila sa isat isa yung ung lamang talaga ng GSW sa series na to'

tapos na at siguradong madaming pinoy ang lasing ngayon  hahahah!

Tama, tira lang ng tira kaya maganda ang laro ng Warriors kahit meron pa silang player na nag struggle.
Gaya nito game 6, hindi rin maganda ang laro ni Thompson, 5-20 lang ang shooting niya pero kahit pa ganyan nag dominate pa rin ang Warriors.

Curry 34 points and 6-11 from 3 point range, ang ganda ng bounce back game niya, deserving to be the Finals MVP.

Bounce back talaga from 0-9 naging 6-11, hindi naman talaga ako maniniwala na hindi parin sya makakagawa ng kahit isang 3 points man lang sa game kanina. Sobrang solid talaga nila, iba talaga pag veteran sa Finals kasi sila ang mas madaling makaka adjust sa mga sitwasyon na kailangan.

Nagulat ako bigla nung pag announce na 1st time pa pala nya maging Finals MVP, napaisip ako kung sino ang naging Finals MVP nung back-to-back nila, nandun pala si Durant kaya hindi si Curry ang nakakuha. Ganun paman, atleast ngayon nakakuha na sya kahit 1st at ito na ata ang pang-apat nilang singsing.

Just surprised though that this is not a PPV event, anyhow, I would have to agree with you here. Joe Smith will be in survival mode in this fight and I don't know what will be his strategy because Beterviev is pure power a beast in the ring.

Over/Under 8.5 rounds is the opening line, while the ML is:

Beterviev - 1.14
Smith Jr - 5.60

Have made a thread featuring Beterviev on his last fight as this guy is amazing for because he has a 100 percent knockout ratio,

The question now, will he continue the streak or this will be broken by Joe Smith with the help of his bicycle, Joe will be fighting just to survive the full 12 rounds so i might take the Beterviev by Decision @4.70.


That is a tough decision because as you said Artur Beterviev has a 100% knockout rate and chances are good that he can continue his streak but Joe Smith vowed in the past few days that he will end Artur's KO streak, so my guess will be same as you, the latter will go fighting while trying to survive Artur's ferocious punches. For now, that will remain a question until the announcer announces who will win the fight later but you might be right and the odds to win by decision are tasty too.
3094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: June 16, 2022, 07:13:08 PM
Spence has the 3 belts (WBC, IBF, and WBA recently from defeating Ugas) so he has done more cleaning in this division than Crawford did because he only got the WBO belt since 2018.

That is because  Terence Crawford never had a chance to compete with big names under Top Rank promotions which he always requested. Also, the fact that Spence is dodging Crawford because the latter thinks it's not worth his time. Spence on the other hand always got his preferred fight and make sure he will win all his title fights and that's what he is today claiming 3 Championship belts under WBC, IBF, and WBA as you have mentioned.

In Terence Crawford's fight history, the expected fight against Spence will be the biggest fight in his career. If he was able to unify all the Welterweight titles beating Spence if ever, Crawford will now begin to move up weight to extend some good credentials on his career. He has lots of targets if successfully defeated Spence in the process.

That's also why he decides to leave and didn't re-sign under the roof of the Top Rank Promotions after he fought and won against Shawn Porter. Bob Arum was just milking him too much without understanding his boxers as they too have boxers in my mind to help them in climbing the ladder. Now that he's a free agent, he can decide anything and will earn more without giving some cut to his promoters.

Are there any updates about this fight? Hopefully, they can announce it before the end of June.
Well that's what promoters did before Crawford, Bob Arum milk the hell out of Manny and when he lost, Manny has an excused not to sign with him.

And it seems this is also the way Tank Davis is going with his career, not to sign with Floyd and be a freelancer so that he can make his own fight. Fight that we fans deserved, after all we are the one bringing the money for this top boxers so they understand if we didn't get the fight we wanted.

I feel bad for Crawford because Bob Arum denied him to have a good future and legacy like Spence had experienced that's why the latter is holding 3 belts and Crawford has only one in his possession because of Arum being overprotective so that Crawford will always win to milk him as always. Top Rank Promotions is not as good anymore and they will be avoided by other boxers because they already know what Arum could bring and certainly that's not legacy.

On Davis part, he's already a freelancer after that fight against Romero. Tank managed to decide much earlier while he is still at his prime because he knows that his talent will be put to waste if he will be just with Mayweather.

i am also not thinking that after fighting with ggg, his next aim is a rematch with bivol. i believe that was not on the table before. but we knew that he had a contract to fight GGG even before his bivol's fight. because their trilogy is like finishing the unfinished business.
as GGG is the underdog with this upcoming fight, it will be a good motivation for him to beat Canelo. also, he had seen the bivol's fight so he has idea on where to poke Canelo to beat him. the odds are good if some of you here are going for GGG.

As I previously posted, it was reported Canelo reached an agreement to fight Bivol plus two more fights in 2022 in exchange for $160 million.

The fight against Bivol was already done and next on the line is GGG. I'm not sure who's the 3rd one and I doubt they can insert that fight until the end of the year. Maybe the best logical guess is after GGG, the third fight on Canelo's schedule on that $160M agreement will be on 1Q of 2023.

After finishing that whole year's agreement, the rematch will Bivol will now take place although I doubt if Bivol will still accept the challenge of Canelo.

It was Eddie Hearn advised as well that Canelo should skipped with the Bivol rematch and go with a trilogy with GGG. Maybe they think that Canelo's chances is higher since GGG is old enough and that Canelo will regain back his glory if he defeated his archfoe. And then go for Bivol rematch next year in May in Bivol is willing to give him the rematch. And it boils down to the offer, if they gave offer more than the first fight, maybe he is willing to give Canelo a rematch.

Not sure how many fights did Canelo sign with Matchroom and Eddie Hearn, maybe 3-4 fights I reckon. So maybe it was a good advised to fight GGG first, the money is there and Canelo could have made more money than having a rematch fight with Bivol and the chance for him to lose back to back is high. So good call for them. It's easy to book Canelo's fight next year so I agree that it might take place 1Q of 2023 for the Bivol fight.

I'm not even sure if Canelo is really interested to have a rematch against Bivol. I think he'd be more interested to face much smaller opponents with equal or even bigger paychecks next time. In their fight, even if it was so close it almost ended in a draw in the official scorecards of the judges, it was very clear that Canelo was having a really hard time hitting, much more hurting, Bivol. He simply couldn't handle Bivol.

That can be right as we don't know yet what would be Canelo's next move after he's finished with GGG but the way I see it, he will go for Bivol again to settle his score, he may be the challenger but he needs it to regain his name after that defeat. It cannot be denied that Canelo's name and hype has been affected after that so avoiding a rematch will not restore him as it will be clear that he can't go and defeat boxers in Light-heavyweight and Segey Kovalev will be his only trophy in the said division.

Panalo ang Warriors diyan kasi 4-1.5 is equal to 2.5 tapos ang score lang ng Boston is 2 lang, so in short panalo ka.
Actually, pustahan sa labas +1 or -1 game lang naman yan eh, ewan ko kung bakit may 0.5 pa sa mga bookies natin.

Salamat sa sagot kabayan, yan din ang nasa isip ko pero hindi ako sigurado kasi nga first time ko na nakapusta sa "outright" na option na ito sa bookies hehe.

Ano pala plano mo kabayan, pwede pa share? haha

Plano ko kasi na ipusta ang kalahati ng amount na yon pabor sa Boston sa game6 para kahit sinong manalo ay may kalahati akong makukuha which is profit din naman kung tutuusin  Grin. Not too greedy lang kabayan haha.
 
Sample computation:
100 x 4.8 = 480 (panalo ko kung mananalo ang Warriors pero kung talo wala)

200 x 2 = 400 (ito ang pusta ko next game pabor sa Boston)

100 + 200 = 300 (puhunan ko)
480 - 300 = 180 (pag panalo ng Warriors sa game6)
400 - 300 = 100 (pag nanalo ang Boston sa game6)

Anong tingin nyo rito hehe?

Yung 0.5 eh additional house edge para sa house hehehe at para satin bettors sakit ng ulo, biruin mo isang puntos na lang natalo pa tayo eh kung walang 0.5 na nakadagdag eh sure win na tayo hehehe.

Maganda tong plano mo, ginagawa ko rin dati, kahit sa offline casino hehehehe. At least win-win situation yan. Ok lang na hindi ka maging greedy, basta ang mahalaga may panalo ka sa laro kesa isang koponan o parlay ang tayaan mo malaki ang risk.

Nakukulitan din ako minsan dyan sa mga 0.5 sa sports bookies eh pero nung kalaunan ang ginawa ko nalang dinirect ko nalang sa 1 halimbawa, sa 6.5 ay nirekta ko na ng flat 7 para hindi masakit sa mata tingnan haha. Dagdag sagabal lang talaga yan lalo na pag 1 point shy lang ang pagitan.

Enjoy lang mga kabayan, taya lang kung merong mga spare funds para hindi masyadong masakit pag matalo. Pero okay din yang sa'yo kabayan, di ka talo dyan.

Yes same here, I didn't even know that Dmitrii Bivol was this good because he managed to put Canelo Alvarez on his place. I know that Bivol is a champion but I don't watch the fights in this division but when I saw him fighting against Canelo and defeated him makes me see more fights in this division. Especially this Artur Beterbiev who have a 100% KO rate with the same nationality of Bivol.
This is quite natural because from the start Bivol was not superior and became the underdog there, even I lost my money here because I was too confident with Canelo.
But on the other hand he is really surprising because I know that he is definitely under pressure especially with his country's problems which are being discussed at that time but with his professionalism he can deal with this calmly and he won quite impressively in this fight.
It's not about Bivol on not being superior, that is not on the table because it will be an understatement if he's nothing compared to Canelo, surely he have a shot and we know that he's more comfortable as it is his own division and he's the defending champion unlike Canelo who's just a challenger and he's not used in Bivol's division.

We've talked about how would Bivol's response the fight if his country is at the state of war with Ukraine, but eventually, he overcome it and upset Canelo Alvarez even if he's the favorite and the champion is the underdog.

And so this is the biggest fight in this division, since the Floyd vs Manny, but the circumstances are different. And perhaps this could be the biggest fight of the year in terms of PPV numbers and the money being generated, maybe close with GGG vs Canelo.

I'm not sure if it will be bigger than GGG vs Canelo fight, although this fight is way better than the latter, I think Canelo is very popular and could generate a lot of money for their fight. However, I believe it will still earn a decent revenue since Spence Jr. has a good number of PPV in his previous fights, and since it's an anticipated fight, that will surely improve.

There's a possibility that Spence-Crawford will be the biggest fight of this year, sure the trilogy of Canelo-GGG is also worth to watch but the interest of the fans were much lesser as time passed by and it's quite too late for this fight to have but since it will happen this September then for sure there's still some decent revenue coming from this fight but I believe not as much from Spence-Crawford PPV's combined and this is also an anticipated fight.

He should show us a different Canelo here and have a very worthwhile match.

Canelo should show us a different him in this fight? Seriously against fighting with already closed to a retired boxer?

Let's hope instead for a different Canelo once he faced the boxer in his own league, especially against Dmitry Bivol.

This trilogy is just more of an entertainment. If Canelo will lose here, that's a disgrace. GGG still has the power but he is up against a prime boxer. The difference between them is large. It will be more pressure on Canelo to win the fight instead of GGG as the latter is already catching his father time.

I definitely agree! It's not that Canelo should be prepare for his best because this might be a trilogy but this fight was already a little too late because GGG is near his retirement decision and this might be his last, win or lose, we don't know but either way, Canelo won't benefit much even if he win in this trilogy. There would be no hype in his name nor he can redeem his name after his loss because only Bivol is his way for redemption but the damage has been done even if he will win against Bivol in the rematch, whilst Bivol will be remembered as one of the few who managed to defeat Canelo.

Magsayo has the advantage in terms of raw power but Vargas experience will give him a hard time landing that solid direct hit to bring down to canvas this Mexican fighter. This fight is very exciting to watch since both of them have a record to protect.

This is true, Magsayo has to learn how to do the right timing as he cannot just rely on his power all the time. There are technical boxers that are hard to beat, they are quick and very smart in the ring, so if Magsayo does not improve, he has no chance to win once the fight is decided by the judges.

This is what I'm afraid of in this match, Vargas is very good on getting points while Magsayo wants a blow-by-blow fight which might be his weakness if Vargas gets an early score lead while Magsayo attempt to recover and start chasing his opponents until he gave some opening for Vargas to gave him one solid punch. Mexican boxers on Featherweight are very good at scoring-type games. The game will be in favor with Vargas if Magsaya don't manage to give him an early damage to slow him down.
That's the weakness of Magsayo, he is not a complete fighter, he has the power but in terms of techniques, he is still not that good. Actually, I am seeing this fight as the biggest challenge of Magsayo so far in his boxing career, and I'm afraid he will lose if he will not make an adjustment.

Perhaps it's an area that he needs to improved, he is under Freddy Roach so for sure he knows it and try to mitigate by teaching his pupil to improved. Manny was just like that in the beginning, all left. But Roach turns him into a beast, developing a lead right or right hook that knock down many of his opponents. So let's see if he can also developed and become a multi dimensional fighter in the process.
He indeed needs some improvement but I bet he already have some experience from defeating Russell Jr. last January this year and that's the first time he was coached by Freddie Roach so I assume the coach really put some knowledge to his mind to excel in that fight. Though he's not that experienced but I'm sure as well that he can overcome this fight against Vargas.
