I will cut your discussion guys about age issues and like to discuss this interesting topic.
If you guys noticed on the last fight of Donaire against a much younger like over 10+ years of age and in its prime, we saw the speed of Donaire doing some multiple jabs at the same time while connecting some strong punch as a combination. What Donaire did is, he just continue with that strategy until Gaballo feels the pain in his body then eventually he can't handle it anymore and goes down.
That strategy of Donaire requires a big amount of stamina and yet he managed to do it even already not in his prime. That shows us that an active boxer will defy his age. That strategy can work against Inoue but the amount of stamina should be doubled or tripled because after all, Naoya Inoue is on a different level and the most dangerous boxer currently at 117.
We all know how intense he is when he goes in training and stamina is one of things they take care to so for this its mot surprising to see him very on this fight as Nonito is known to be a well disciplined fighter. Also he's fighting a bigger opponent which defeats him before so for sure there's no question about how hard his preparation taken for this fight and for sure he aim to take revenge then take the head of Inoue before he retires. In terms of determination, we cannot really fathom how long and how far would Donaire take to step-up his game more especially for the fact that he had been defeated during their first encounter. That was his motivation and he will seek revenge knowing that Inoue could feel his punches, so he should connect more often than he did last time, I mean both of them will improve and we will see an another version to the both of them. This fight is surely an entertaining to see because both of them is willing to go for a toe-to-toe fight.

Canelo has only tasted a lose once in his whole boxing career and it was just a decision against Mayweather, and take note that that time Canelo is just 23 years old but managed to stood his ground against Mayweather, that alone is already a factor that Canelo is born and built for this industry and I don't have any doubts that he will stop at Bivol nor can be defeated against Bivol especially that he is still in the height of his prime.
Canelo really has all the advantages in this match. But for me, it's not that Dmitry Bivol is nothing. At least, he might give Canelo a tough match and not an overall dominance. They are both champions in their respective league and Canelo really targets Bivol therefore, the latter is really a big deal for him. It's just around less than a month before this fight happened and all our speculations will now turn into reality. I hope a close bout between these two and not a landslide victory. I think we can see a close bout and not a landslide victory because Dmitry Bivol is the defending champion and it's not that he will give Canelo his position that easy. Canelo should work his way to covet this belt and as always I don't have any doubts against Canelo either because we have already saw how Canelo thinks inside the ring and his defense is as good as his offense, Bivol may struggle but it will be a close bout.

It's fine mate, there's no use to think anymore because the fight is already done and wether we like it or not, Tagoe exposed him on what Ryan Garcia needs to improve and I'm seeing that it could benefit Garcia because he will know more what is needed to be done especially his jab.
The important thing is that Garcia have admitted that he lacks in that specific aspect and Tagoe did a good job to make the fight difficult for him.
If you have a nice track on how Garcia fights on his previous matches then you could really able to notice the difference of his jabs when it comes to precision and swiftness but this one do really lacks of that but somehow you could really still see that it is really fast but not really that much on the same when he was still before. Ring rust and this is where people do speculate about it but it doesnt matter though and as been said that it did really show off on what are the flaws or problems that needs to adjust and thanks to Tagoe to be the guinea pig. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Yes, it is really clear that he lack something except about the jab because he still learning how to master it and I do not know if you guys noticed about it but there's some huge difference since he trained by Goossen, well I'm not saying that Goossen is not a good coach but just like you said, his precision and prowess isn't that much now. IMO, Garcia could really knocked out Tagoe if he didn't swap trainor.

Here comes with the age issue again, why is it that you're so certain that age is an important factor? I'm not a fan of Donaire but I disagree about it, age will only become a factor if the fighter or boxer isn't active for years or not getting a fight for two years or more.
In the case of Donaire, he already fought twice last year and ended it with a KO and now he's fighting against the Japan's monster Inoue with just 6 months of rest period. Those people who treat age as a factor for Nonito Donaire are not doing their respective homework and just relying everything on the "name impact" and "age". They are not aware that Donaire even much older compared to Inoue, still has that speed, quickness, and Knock Out power. The reason is, that Donaire is always active doing his routine operation and always has a match, therefore, training is almost part of his entire life and never stopped. That results in his body not adopting the aging effect. If Donaire will lose for the 2nd time, it's 100% not because of his age but for other reasons. Certainly! These people are just following the hype in the surroundings and are just automatically siding who is the favorite to win on this fight without digging any further before making some baseless statement like that, I bet they don't even know what Donaire had achieved throughout his whole career. Since Donaire started doing professional fights in the early 2000's, he's getting 3 to 4 fights per year until he reached the age of 30 where he only fought once or twice a year and then someone say that his age can be a basis? That's funny. Just like when people doubt against GGG's capabilities because of age reasons. Yes age does matter cause when a boxer getting old and older their movement speed gets slower, but we should not underestimate older boxers cause even they are getting slower but they are also more vigilant and more veteran in fighting they are more strategic in fighting. Like GGG and manny, Pacquiao did when they are fighting against younger opponents, That is already a fact but sometimes when these boxers are so busy and active getting fights, that factor will somehow slow down and sometimes it cannot be seen. But I agree that these veteran boxers shouldn't be underestimated because their experience speak for themselves and they are not easy to deal with. We've seen these boxers numerous times and fighting them lightly because they are old will lead to defeat.

Majority of the vote, voted for Alvarez but I wouldn't surprise with that I look at his footwork and agility training as well as real match footage you would see that he is really a good fighter but Bivol is not also an easy opponent with a 19-0 standing with a 58% KO ratio.
Let's see, Canelo has defeated plenty of undefeated fighters in the past, so this is not new to him, and the fact that he agrees to fight Bivol, that tells us that he can handle the power of Bivol. I still think he would win this fight, maybe not by KO but his boxing skills will dominate. You are right besides Canelo has more fighting experience than Bivol we maybe can't see a knock out but I am sure Canelo would win this match but we can't be sure about it maybe if Bivol would be lucky he would get a good punch and knocked Canelo but just like Safari said he has a good footwork and good agility it will be really challenging for Bivol. Canelo has never been knocked out in his career, he had one loss and that is against Mayweather because he got outboxed, therefore, Bivol has a lesser chance of winning if he cannot outboxed Canelo because Canelo is way faster than him. Canelo has only tasted a lose once in his whole boxing career and it was just a decision against Mayweather, and take note that that time Canelo is just 23 years old but managed to stood his ground against Mayweather, that alone is already a factor that Canelo is born and built for this industry and I don't have any doubts that he will stop at Bivol nor can be defeated against Bivol especially that he is still in the height of his prime.

Tagoe managed to exposed the weakness of Ryan Garcia that is nice that he managed to do it but the problem is if Garcia is now fulfilling this shortcomes he has but I think a few months of training is not enough though even if he can train those weaknesses I think it is not yet or far to be perfect.
I like to ask, what was the weakness you are talking about? Sorry, because I believe Ryan Garcia really dominated the fight and Tagoe was just there to survive and take a good cut on that fight. Did Tagoe even hurt Ryan Garcia? If Tagoe goes for a toe to toe fight, for sure that would not last 12 rounds. Garcia dominated the fight? Please watch the replay and you will see he is having difficulty. I think you are just referring to the boxer's name and don't bother to watch even the highlights. Tagoe put Ryan on his limits and we should give him credit for that. Ryan is not even satisfied with his performance even though he wins. Agree with the above, OP can now consider locking this thread as we might see other analysis that is supposedly not associated on the fight. I agree! Ryan Garcia himself isn't really satisfied to his own performance about the fight and he also admitted that he have a lot of aspects that he needed to improve to make his punch more fatal because he already have the agility to do it. Even if Tagoe was defeated by Garcia, he needs to have that credits because he managed to expose the latter's weaknesses and one of those weaknesses was the lack of defense that got him knocked down when he faced Campbell before. Either way, Garcia's victory isn't that much of a big deal because it was just a UD. IMO ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I don't think he as exposed, it's that that Tagoe just make the fight difficult for Ryan because of style clash. On the contrary, Ryan has admitted that he doesn't like his performance so he will try and go and improved the next time he fights. And this is going to be work on with his new coach and for sure Goosen has seen a lot of flaws from Ryan that he will have to addressed on the next training season with him. It's fine mate, there's no use to think anymore because the fight is already done and wether we like it or not, Tagoe exposed him on what Ryan Garcia needs to improve and I'm seeing that it could benefit Garcia because he will know more what is needed to be done especially his jab. The important thing is that Garcia have admitted that he lacks in that specific aspect and Tagoe did a good job to make the fight difficult for him.

Well, it seems that you got it right! Murata only lasted 9 rounds and he can already barely fight on the 7th round and only managed to defend himself even if his defense is breaking bit by bit because GGG is really looking to knock him down and produce a KO victory. GGG still have those capabilities we discussed, he proved it today against the Japanese boxer! Murata's camp threw a towel when he knocked down and ended the fight with a TKO.
GGG has shown his power - no doubt he is more powerful that Murata. Earlier I though since Murata is young he has amazing speed so he can win - undercard proved me wrong. Murata was able to punch GGG lots of times during the early rounds. He can keep up with GGG or maybe, the latter just testing Murata and gives those early rounds for him. Later on in the fight, GGG now shows his destructive power and Murata can't do something about it. In the end, GGG got the 9th round TKO. His camp concedes at the 9th round and accepts that GGG is too much for their Murata. That's how powerful GGG is even at 40 years old. I just don't know if he can show the same strength once he face a much younger Canelo in September. Honestly, it's hard to judge now, so many things happened, Canelo is on another level, GGG although can still stand against a dangerous and young fighter age is now showing on GGG, I don't want to judge GGG I always believe style makes a fight and things will be different when they face each other, GGG has proven that he can take big punches, Canelo has not been exposed to hard punches because of his defense things could be very different in their third fight, I don't want to give it right away to GGG or even Canelo. Yes mate, that really makes sense because even if we know that Canelo is still in his prime, GGG also have the style to make Canelo struggle because of his intelligence but don't take it wrong because I don't mean that Canelo is not intelligent. What I mean is that these two boxers have their own different styles that can make each other struggle as they clash. Either way, they wouldn't have a trilogy if it's clear that GGG or Canelo will be defeated and it's still undecided yet until the referee will make the announcement.

Inoue is too small to KO Donaire, as long as Donaire will be careful and always ensure his moves are calculated then for sure he will give Inoue some problem. Fans are eager to watch and know the outcome of the game because the fighter that wins this fight will possible have a fight with Casimero.
You are wrong with that, Inoue hurt Donaire in their first meeting, he can target the stomach and his opponent with vow down. It was just Donaire is strong to survive but he wasn't anymore engaging aggressively after that heavy blow in the stomach. When in the first fight they both suffered pretty severe injuries in my opinion even at that time even though Inoue won he was injured even more in the face. but on the other hand inoue win is not luck. as you said Inoue managed to do a pretty hard hook that time and his jab also went to Donaire a lot. I think it will be tough in June considering their speed is still quite good Inoue will not be so aggressive in this rematch because he already felt the power of Donaire and could really hurt him, the worst could knock him down if he goes toe to toe. Counter punch is the biggest technique of Donaire, he worked that strategy perfectly for years, so it's not new to him and Inoue has to be careful if he wants to remain undefeated before he will move up in weight. if he doesn't want to be battered like 2 years ago then caution is a natural thing ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) But the good thing is that both boxers have felt each other's punches and of course they definitely know what they have to do in the next match. but it is clear that in this case donaire is not benefited by his age even though his hitting is still very hard but in terms of performance of course age is also an important factor Here comes with the age issue again, why is it that you're so certain that age is an important factor? I'm not a fan of Donaire but I disagree about it, age will only become a factor if the fighter or boxer isn't active for years or not getting a fight for two years or more. In the case of Donaire, he already fought twice last year and ended it with a KO and now he's fighting against the Japan's monster Inoue with just 6 months of rest period. Both of them already got the experience and knowledge they need because they already encountered last 2019, we might expect an easy slow first round and then an exchanging punches toe-to-toe afterwards and see who will go down first.

Just like when we are discussing a GGG vs Canelo Trilogy even if they still have an upcoming fight, well in the case of GGG, he already win his fight against Murata.
And with that, it increases the chance that the trilogy will happen because Canelo is also a heavy favorite to win against Dmitry Bivol. The odds BTW, https://www.oddschecker.com/us/boxing-mma/boxing/dmitry-bivol-v-saul-canelo-alvarezI hope to see this soon, for sure it's not a problem for Canelo to fighting this year again if he wins this May, and there's plenty of time, so both fighters could prepare for this big fight, it doesn't matter if it will be in the last quarter of the year as long as it will not be postponed. The odds say the possibility of the fight, and as always, Canelo never fails to amaze us, and even if Bivol is the champion, Canelo is still listed as the favorite. Going back to the topic, the outcome of this fight would also dictate the possible fight of Crawford, and if Ugas would win, I think it will be easy to make the fight happen because if Spence will win, they'll play the purse sharing issue. I agree about that because Canelo have already faced many talented boxers but he didn't failed us as always, and in this fight, Bivol will surely give his best to defend his title against Canelo but we already know that the latter always finds his way to defend his opponents. Let's make it easy, if Ugas will win then a fair share will surely happen but if Spence will win then for sure he will suggest that he will get that 60% as he also have the right to do it. Either way, I'm not seeing that Crawford won't accept it because he have no one to share his money with because he already cut his ties with Bob Arum.

Maybe soon we can see another additional celebrity endorser in the Stake family.
Stake have partnered with dendi before, he is a dota player and I think many people knows this guy so this counts a celebrity right? But, drake is obviously ia much popular than him because drake is an artist and he is still relevant until now. There is a chance that stake will hire another celebrity in the future but it maybe a celebrity on another field, not on gaming and the music industry anymore. It's interesting how stake ventures every industry and give other celebrities a chance to be a part of a crypto casino. It's a wise move if they want more exposure. Soon their number of players are going to increase dramatically as well as their profit of course. Yes, it's hard not to know Dendi if you're a Dota player from 1 until 2. I might say he's really a legend and Stake did the right thing on selecting him as an additional endorser. But that partnership was last 2019 or early 202, IIRC. Is their partnership still active until now? Seems like it, there will some news about that sooner or later this year. I'm also curious about who will be the next additional endorser or what industry will he/she come from.

Latest update: Ryan Garcia is back via unanimous decision win against Tagoe, not the kind of fight that we want to see, we want an explosive Garcia and knock out Tagoe but Ryan is having a hard time because Tagoe is always on the run and hugging Ryan I like it better this way Ryan shows aggressiveness and endurance it's hard to chance a fighter who is running away, Tagoe is a big disappointment on this fight.
That's what those boxers do when they felt the power of their opponent except for the few warriors who actually clash with their opponent in the middle of the ring even though their opponent's punches are explosives. We saw earlier a fighter that doesn't really suffice our expectations which is not really bad at all because Ryan stayed undefeated and can still showcase his boxing skills for us in his future big fights. Yeah, it was very clear that Tagoe strategy is not to engage Ryan and just run, and as you can see the crowd is not very happy and you can hear the boos. But you can't do anything about it, if the other one doesn't want to fight toe to toe then it's not Ryan's fault. Nevertheless, a win is a win so he is back and it seems that he has matured though, no more name calling after the fight. Tagoe is trying to avoid those solid punches from Garcia. Those punches that landed on him keep bringing him down. It's nice to see Garcia is back on his rhythm expect more quality fights after this. Garcia is still young and now that he is back, for sure, promoters will take these opportunities to call for another sensational fighter to take him. Congrats to all those who won too bad we don't see toe-to-toe engagements between the two, but likewise, a win still a win. Tagoe tried to entertain Garcia and tried to exchange some of that blows but in the first few rounds he suddenly realized that he cannot withstand those punches and he can't keep up with his speed, so the only last resort is to try and survive the fight without getting a defeat by a KO. Later on, it's like I'm seeing Rigo again hehe. Now, Ryan Garcia is back. We'll see if they can get a fight with Kambosos Jr.

Dallas (-10.5), and Clippers (-10.5).
Won on the Clippers game but lose to the Dallas game, just 0.5. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) So that's the last game of the series, we have 1 day rest then we will proceed to the play-in tournament. Early betting lines. Nets -8 against Cavaliers Clippers +2.5 against Wolves. That's fine, these last few games were really unpredictable because we cannot be sure if their star players will play or not. But that's so close! Let's try our luck again on the 1st day of the play-in tournament as for sure teams will try hard to compete to have a spot in the playoffs. I'll follow you on those bets, Nets -8.5 and LA Clippers +3 .. GL!

Not everyone appreciates bitcoin as a gift, especially people who have not learned what is cryptocurrency. Actually, you can still give a gift ( the usual one), and bitcoin at the same time, that way, she'll be curious about bitcoin and will be happy with the gifts.
if people do not understand what is bitcoin, they would also not see its potential. Therefore basic knowledge is very important.

What a bad day for the Dallas Mavericks their star player Luka Doncic has suffered an injury during their last game of the season, everyone has already asked the Mavericks what's with them? what did they let their star players play during this last game? injuries such as this one are hard to heal in these few days remaining before the NBA playoffs, he might be back but he will not be 100% condition and that would affect their performance versus the Utah Jazz.
This is not good, I was expecting that Dallas has a chance to win the NBA Finals but without Luka, I don't think they'll pass the first round of the playoffs. Luka Doncic injury update: Mavericks star suffers calf strain in final game of regular season vs. SpursNo update yet regarding on how serious the injury is and on how long he'll be out. I hope it's not too serious so we will see a great playoffs.

Now that Meralco has the edge on this series, could we say that this could be Brownlee's first Finals lose?
It's too early to tell, maybe if Meralco will have a 3-1 lead then there's a high probability.
Meralco outlasted Ginebra in a tough battle. Good defense displayed by both teams but a lot of missed free throws by Ginebra players in Q3 was the turning point and allowed Meralco to comeback from 8-point deficit. There was also the offensive rebounds in the fourth which allowed Meralco to protect their lead.
Brownlee only had 19 points, he was beaten by Bishop who scored 30 big points and 16 rebounds. Also, the local players like Newsome had 20 points, while Maliksi is not anymore scoreless with 10 points.
