More than half of all of Ryan's fights he won by way of KO or TKO in rounds 1 and 2. Tagoe shouldn't commit this suicide.

That's the fact that Tagoe has to understad. However, Tagoe probably was getting offered with a big paycheck so he took this fight, and if he really believe that he can win this fight, then he sees this as an opportunity not only to have a good paycheck but a chance to become a champion with bigger fights waiting for him in the future.

Of course Tagoe will be receiving a bigger paycheck in this match. He is up against a rising star in Ryan Garcia. There is money in this fight. If I am in Tagoe's shoes, I also wouldn't be refusing this offer even if I'm being pitted against a much better boxer. I will just have to prepare hard and set the goal to victory. This is actually a big opportunity for him. I think he has nothing to lose here. But he shouldn't be focusing on the paycheck alone. He should also give his best to win. There are much bigger paychecks when he comes out victorious.

You mean Tagoe will receive a biggest paycheck in his whole career and not bigger cut than Garcia Wink

Yeah, I would also do that if I were in Tagoe's shoes because this might be his last and biggest chance he might have to take a huge leap if he can manage to defeat a future star in the industry. So he should really do his best to prepare about this fight and I do firmly believe that even if he lose in this fight, he still can receive some great future fights if he manage to deliver a great entertaining fight to the people and fans without getting knocked out.

Anyone thinks that the current war might affect Bivol's performance? I mean he could be bother by the noise behind this one that his training and his mentality on the fight is not 100% because of the current situation in his country. There could be some friends or family members that is close to Bivol that is directly affected by the war and it might stuck into his mind. What do you guys think? Not making excuses if he lost but we have to look at this angle as well.

Maybe a little bit, I mean everyone would be surely affected knowing that your country where your family is also living is having a war with its neighboring country and then somehow you have a big event that you need to attend. I'm not a 100% sure that he's mentality towards the fight is not affected, you know his family is there trapped and yes directly affected too.

As a normal human being, this kind of thoughts are relevant. Even Bivol can be physically fit to fight Canelo
his mental capabilities are not 100% focus, as I agree with both of you. It's not an excuse, but possible to affect him inside.

Still have to wait if this fight will going to happen due to this ongoing war.

Rumors might interrupt, but since there's no final word, both fighters are preparing and fans, if not all, most of them are
calling for this fight and see Canelo inside the ring again.

We can completely understand Bivol's situation here because he is just a professional boxer with no quarrels on either countries but he is directly affected on the issue because he's Russian and his big fight against Canelo has some issues with the same matter while he is also thinking about his family. We can't possibly say that he's 100% focus.

Durant and Kyrie are both great players especially Durant but if they will not allow Kyrie to play, then there is no chance that they will become the top contender for the playoffs. Durant can't carry the whole team to be honest, he needs Kyrie to win a championship like what LeBron needs to win.
The problem with Kyrie getting the second most shots is that he won't be able to play in most games when the playoffs come. I mean New York maybe did get the mandate ended? I am not sure and even in that case he is still not playing because of the private place rules, he literally got some fine for being in the locker room let alone play last New York game right? All in all we are talking about a big deal for him to miss games during playoffs.

Durant and Kyrie could be great, only if Kyrie gets the vax and plays all games, if not then Durant won't be able to carry his team if he keeps being alone and no superstars around him helping him out.

New York's vaccine mandate has already been lifted last March 7 but that doesn't mean that Kyrie Irving is eligible to play in New York, instead he was only allowed to spectate the game while his team are playing on their home because his case was different. In-case you're wondering here's why:
Quote
Why won't Irving be able to play in the games?
Because, according to Adams' statement, "all other vaccine mandates in New York City will remain in place at this time as they are, and have been, vital to protecting New Yorkers." This includes the city's vaccine requirement for private businesses, which has been in effect since Dec. 27.

If you do in-person work for a New York City-based business, you must be vaccinated.

He needs to get this fight on his favor to maximize the chances of fighting Inoue sometime this year soon. About Casimero's nutrionist and conditioning coach, I saw a video on YouTube that MP Promotions have selected Jeneath Aro to be his nutritionist and that they won't give Casimero some slack because Butler is a former champion too.

Jeneath Aro is a good nutritionist too and if I'm correct she is the nutritionist of Magsayo as well. What Casimero really needed in this Butler fight is a good nutritionist as we all know that he is gaining weight far from his fight weight whenever he is on a break which could entail heavy work to bring back to his weight limit for a fight thus causing him troubles.

I'm mentioning this on my previous post that the real opponent of Casimero is himself. If he could get his weight limit before a fight with a well condition body then Butler will have trouble in the ring facing him.

Correct, she's so good that almost everyone she helped had a medal and have win just like what she did to Hidilyn Diaz, she's also the conditioning coach and nutritionist for Magsayo. Good thing that Casimero have her on his back to watch his weight because as you said, Casimero is really having some difficulties on his weight as he can gain fast even if he just rest for a bit.

I will follow you on that bet,
Grizzlies -7.5 vs. Pacers
Suns -4.5 vs. Pelicans
Nets -9 vs. Magic - just like you said, they definitely need to win on this again if they want to get a sure spot and I don't either doubt that they will lose on this game.
Congratulations. That's a perfect score.  Grin
I got my share of the perfect bet too.

I think it's just the Heat who didn't cover the spread. If I remember it correctly, the line was -10.5 also against the Pistons or maybe higher for a 2x profit.
Luckily, I avoided that game, and the other three games ended up in a blowout game that covers even the highest spread.
Cheers everyone!!!

Thank you, I'm glad that I managed to win this time around. Out of those 3 bets I made, there's one bet that I'm not so certain that it will go through and that's the Grizzlies but it turns out that there's no problem even if Ja Morant wasn't available.

Let's bet again guys, there's a lot of interesting games tomorrow. I'll do some live betting if I can catch up on the Phoenix game and Lakers game. Here's mine for now:
Hawks +2 vs Hornet
Sixers -3 vs Cavaliers
Celtics vs Warriors -3.5

Ohh congratulations to you mate I think that's a big win, nice bet mate 3 winning best wow I hope I will win like that someday I am new in betting but now I'll 2  and this the biggest cause 1 out of three are always I got but this time u have two but you. 3 win hmmo good job.
At next stop ill bet again and I do hope I will win like you .

It is totally fine and do not worry because your time will come and who knows you'll got a perfect successive wins in a week, right? Nothing is impossible. They also have their own share of losses and this time they got a perfect win, everyone have gone through your stage. Just analyze the stats carefully and you will get it right someday.

3646  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 16, 2022, 03:57:56 PM
Canelo alvarez must take this fight as one of his big fight cause his opponent is more just easy to handle and we all know that Dmitry Bivol is a champion and a good fighter so without a doubt he is still have a chance to win against canelo.
And if. Canelo wants to fight GGG in the next fight after this is he must win these fight first.

Bivol is good until he fought Canelo, Canelo will always fight like Canelo, calculated, very relaxed, good at cutting the distance, and frustrate his opponent he will accumulate big punches to his opponent's body then the head, the biggest question is Bivol ready if Bivol will be Bivol and Canelo will fight like Canelo, then Canelo will knock him out in the later rounds, the pressure is not on Canelo but on Bivol because he still doesn't have the skill level of fighters Canelo fought.

Obviously, the better fighter here is Canelo because he is the favorite to win. Fans already anticipated that Canelo will win but let's see if we will see some big surprise, who knows, Bivol might be able to give Canelo a problem and that would make the fight more interesting. I know that everyone is betting on Canelo but we should not underestimate Bivol because he also has the power and the current champion. 19 wins and 11 is by KO, undefeated as well, this guy is a real tough challenge for Canelo.

On this forum and other media people and boxing, aficionados want to see a big surprise, we love to see upsets in fact it's more exciting to see upsets than what we've expected to see, people although expect Canelo to win they are playing upsets in the back of their mind, this could happen one if the favorites is injured in the middle of the fight, second, the favorite is having a hard time with the weight and encountering problem psychology, something that never happens to Canelo after his loss with Maywearther.

Canelo gets better after his loss to Mayweather, he learns his lesson and he trained harder. In fact, if Canelo and Mayweather will fight now, I believe that we will see the opposite of that fight, and though Mayweather is very slick, I'm pretty sure Canelo would hit him and would probably knock him out.

Indeed, Canelo has learned a lot of lesson when he faced Mayweather several years ago, he literally took it personally after his first loss and train harder to be more stronger and smarter in the ring. Canelo even copy some moves of Mayweather like the "shoulder roll" and also learn how to counter it if ever he face an opponent who uses the same stance.

Of course, he will took it personally since it was his first defeat and since then he's been smarter than ever. That defeat surely helped him to get tougher and stronger that's why he became the undisputed boxer. I also watched a video about that, indeed he invented a way how to encounter that shoulder roll.

Any good update about this fight? Seems this fight will still continue on exact date, but I read an article that they will move the venue to another location where the issue is a bit neutral on Russian boxer.

Quote
It was initially thought that the world title contest will happen in the United States, but reports emerged that suggested that is now not the case.

According to the respected boxing journalist Michael Benson, it is now believed that both Canelo and Bivol will travel to Dubai, UAE, to face off against each other.
Link: https://www.givemesport.com/87978237-canelo-alvarez-vs-dmitry-bivol-date-location-rumours-and-more

That is what makes Canelo Alvarez a unique fighter and like I said, he's so unique that he became an undisputed champion in four different divisions and sources said that only few have been in that position, Canelo is the 6th in the whole boxing industry.

Oh, is that right? That's good! Las Vegas or anywhere inside US is a good location but in these times that there's a conflict, I don't think that the crowd is friendly to Bivol.

Sure he is! Canelo is without a doubt a man of discipline that's why he achieved those feats that not everyone could achieve. Canelo is very different in every fight because he's trying to catch and observe his opponent first and afterwards he will make some move and try to connect more.

I think this fight is quite unfair, isn't it? Canelo is busy preparing for this fight with no distractions while Bivol on the other side is also preparing but his mind is thinking on his homeland where his family is living. I for one believes that Canelo will win this fight but I just also want that Bivol can have some concentration in training without some distraction.

Scary Kyrie.  Cheesy He should get himself vaccinated and do that more. If he really cares about his fans he should entertain us every game of the Nets like how he did it with his last couple of games, not in New York.
60 points out of 150 and the percentage of his shots, that's the awesome part.
8/12 outside, 20/31 field goals. That's like 66% if I am not mistaken and that's way high than his average and even with most shooters.
The sad part if not vaccinated, he only got 3 games left to play out of 13 in the season.

He was really unstoppable today and he got his last basket by shooting downtown, seeing the game live is so good! However, time will come that his presence on the court will be much needed especially on series games but sadly he cannot play because he is not vaccinated.
Imagine if a Game 7 will played on their home and they lost, their effort in regular season will be in vain just because of that very reason. Anyways, he have his own reason why he stayed as an unvaccinated individual.
3648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING]: RYAN GARCIA vs EMMANUEL TAGOE - April 9 on: March 16, 2022, 08:07:13 AM


Could be the next one, if ever Garcia can throw a succesful blow on Tagoe but what if the latter can withstand that blows? Still, I also definitely think that Tagoe still have those chance. Don't take it wrong because I'm rooting for Garcia on this fight, but I'm just saying that this unknown boxer might surprise us. You're right that experience alone cannot take on Garcia, but we already know what comes with experience and by looking his stats, Tagoe is not an easy one to deal with. Anyways, we'll see next month.

Just imagine Tagoe beat Garcia by knock out or decision that would be the biggest news in the boxing community for 2022 and Tagoe will become an instant celebrity just like Ugas when he beat Pacquiao, and that could be the end for Garcia's legacy because he has a history of depression and losing to someone like Tagoe could hit him very badly.

If that happens, then surely Tagoe will be in the news headlines for several weeks. From being an unknown boxer to a famous one who pulled an upset or knock out the rising star Garcia. But that is the question of ifs at this point because I do think that Garcia will somehow finish the fight and go home with a win.

Ugas's situation is different from Tagoe because Ugas is the underdog with fewer experience while Tagoe is only looked as underdog by bookies and boxing fans but his experience exceeds Garcia. But yes, if he can manage to pull an upset then he will be an instant celebrity.
3649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 16, 2022, 07:18:29 AM
Yes, you're exactly right about that. Now that Casimero's name is somehow carved in the industry, then that means that he's been already watched by a lot of people who's fond in boxing. So he should be more mature and careful on what he's saying because he's now a champion in his division. He needs to be more appropriate towards other boxers especially towards Donaire, a co-Filipino boxer.

I could say now that Casimero is busy training rather than talking and hitting on social media some of his supposed to be opponents like Inoue.

He should be because this is his last chance to prove to the boxing community that he deserves to be the king of this bantamweight division and a shot for that money fight against the Japanese Monster, Inoue.

If we look at Casimero's training on his youtube account, I think we can say that he's on the right direction now but that nutritionist and conditioning coach issue is still not clear to me. Did anyone get the news on this?

Not sure who is the nutritionist for him, there are reports that it is Memo Heredia and then there is also reports surfacing that someone is helping him, I forget the name but it is Hidilyn Diaz nutritionist if I'm not mistaken.

This is also crucial because we know that Casimero has problems in the past regarding his weight. So if this is not taken care of as early as this time, we might see him not making weight again?

Memo Heredia is his old nutrionist but when Casimero was hospitalized on Dubai due to viral gastritis, his old nutrionist was temporarily replaced by Jeaneth Aro. For some who don't know her, she's the one behind the scenes helping in watching Hidilyn Diaz's diet and nutrition until she got the Gold Medal last olympic and IIRC Jeaneth Aro is also the nutritionist of Mark Magsayo.

I think Golden State will grab another championship, Suns is good actually but I think there is something missing in there team. Lakers will surely not win another championship knowing that the team composition is not that good, also AD is injured and LeBron do all the lifting, Westbrook does not fit in their team, Caruso is the better point guard. I think Bucks vs Golden State in the finals. But let see if Suns will not choke.
Chris Paul is the missing piece and he is injured. Better now than be like what happened with Rockets where he is hurt before the playoffs. Just when they needed them the most.
They are secured now on the top spot so there would be no reason to force every game for a win.
They can relax now and just wait for CP3 to comeback. I am a Nuggets fan but I think it will be Suns this year. But who knows, unexpected things suddenly happens.
Don't forget about the GSW, they are also showing some toughness and I believe they have a shot to be in the NBA Finals this season. They are not new to this kind of situation as they have won championships before, so I wouldn't be surprise if they will make it.

Chances are high for the GSW to be in the finals this year specially if they keep healthy, they are deep and even the second stringers are tough and can score and play defense.

Curry, Thompson and Jordan Poole are a threat outside, they should be could Splash Triplets now, hehehe. There rookie is also playing good so the fight for the West is going to be close with Suns, Memphis and Utah.

Well I hope the Warriors can still be a healthy team when the playoffs begin because every game it gets tougher, lots of their key players mainly in defense is older now while the other top teams in the West are mostly younger. But if they can be consistent then chances are high that they can play in the Finals of WCF.

I think you forgot about the Mavericks Grin

So back to this fight, it Tagoe wants to win then he has to test the chin of Garcia again and see if it will hold. So he should be the aggressive early, it's like going in the first couple of rounds. If his experience is their then maybe he can overwhelm Garcia early.

This is not going to be a wise decision I think. This is very risky. If he wants to trade the heaviest of blows in the first couple of rounds, it is more likely that he will be the one to get knocked out first than Ryan Garcia. Ryan Garcia is the stronger puncher between the two. And the first two rounds are when Ryan is at his freshest state. Ryan could knock out Tagoe cold within those rounds. If I were Tagoe, I'd bring the fight to the distance and attempt at a unanimous decision. But all winning approaches are very hard for him of course.

You cannot overwhelm Garcia with experience alone, power and speed must come to play but unfortunately, these two are in Garcia's arsenal it's not what Garcia can take but what Tagoe can take, he must have a strong body because the left hook to the body will come to play here, we have seen on Youtube and his own social media account and on actual fights how powerful this left hook is, it already claims many victims and Tagoe could be the next one.

Could be the next one, if ever Garcia can throw a succesful blow on Tagoe but what if the latter can withstand that blows? Still, I also definitely think that Tagoe still have those chance. Don't take it wrong because I'm rooting for Garcia on this fight, but I'm just saying that this unknown boxer might surprise us. You're right that experience alone cannot take on Garcia, but we already know what comes with experience and by looking his stats, Tagoe is not an easy one to deal with. Anyways, we'll see next month.

Well, there are dozens of altcoins right now and some of those coins are new in the market but not all of them have the potential to give you competitive returns for your investment. My honest answer is, Binance Coin (BNB), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA). These coins that I've stated are also in my portfolio.

Brooklyn Nets Vs New York Knicks play time 23:00 at today. I support Brooklyn Nets. That this team can win and I already have bet $200 interest rate as 1.43X for this team. What Do you think? this team can win? and is it reasonable for me to bet for that?

They are in a two game winning streak, while the Knicks is coming from a lost.
And lately Nets are on a big resurgence specially that Durant is back + the newly acquired Curry and Drammond are doing good. While the Knicks are on a struggle although they have some wins. But they are still below at 12th spot. I think your bet is reasonable so good luck.
Yup finally I won at that bet and got a good profit.  Although 1.43X is not a big profit in gambling.  Even after that, winning is the real thing. I've bet on the basketball NBA before and won most of the bets. But I do not understand whether it is my skill or my luck

That's totally fine, we all have the same experience about betting in NBA or some other sports. Sometimes we lost and sometimes we win, that's normal because even if we analyze every stats and their performance in recent games, that won't be the assurance that our bets will go through as they're still humans that will make some mistakes along the way. Anyway, congratulations!

As for me, I lost the bet because spread was -3.5 for me and the Nets haven't covered it well, I'm just a point shy from that bet though Grin
3655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING]: RYAN GARCIA vs EMMANUEL TAGOE - April 9 on: March 14, 2022, 09:03:57 AM
That's likely the case, he was overconfident of his ability to seek closed fight, we can see in the replay that he lowered his guard for a bit and Campbell used that chance to knockout Garcia. Luckily he was trained well that's why his body didn't collapsed immediately, and yes we saw that he's also vulnerable to such punches. I bet, he really learned a bigtime lesson on that one.

it was a combination that after exposing his chin an overhead left hit gacria. campbell didn't rush to that opportunity. it might be exciting still if they will do a rematch again since both ad counter puncher.

There will be no rematch because Luke Campbell has retired already:

(https://theathletic.com/news/olympic-gold-medalist-luke-campbell-retires-from-professional-boxing/BfjuWGmDpaf3/)

Luke Campbell has retired from professional boxing — nine years after winning Olympic gold at the London 2012 Games.

So back to this fight, it Tagoe wants to win then he has to test the chin of Garcia again and see if it will hold. So he should be the aggressive early, it's like going in the first couple of rounds. If his experience is their then maybe he can overwhelm Garcia early.

Is that so? Thanks for the information, I didn't know about that.

Given that Tagoe have much more experience than Garcia, then I'm looking forward that he will use his IQ in the ring to test Garcia on his limits if the latter can still dance until the 12th round. We know that Garcia and Oscar cherry picked this one but hopefully Tagoe will at least give it a good fight.
3656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 14, 2022, 08:39:37 AM
Fight Butler and then knock him out, simply formula to get the attention of Inoue and his camp.
Or maybe the other way around, what if Inoue would chicken out after seeing how Casimero knock out Butler. We know that he is undefeated and working with the Top Rank promotion, would Bob willing to risk his cash cow against a known good counter puncher that has the ability to KO an opponent?

I don't think boxers are chickening out just because their supposedly opponent knock out someone. This game is about "machismo", - masculine pride. So Inoue will be more likely wanted to fight Casimero and show who is the tougher and who will be knock out. Bob though is a wise promoter, just maybe he will wait it out and try to milk Inoue more by fighting other names first. There was a rumor already that Inoue vs Donaire is going to happen this year so Casimero will have to wait and fall in line again.

If Casimero will be successful in defeating Butler, either if it is a UD or KO then I think Bob Arum won't have any options as Casimero is in the next line. Bob may be afraid to risk Inoue's career as of money talks because his cash cow would deflate in value once it is defeated.

Another thing, it's highly possible that Inoue would face Donaire first before Casimero. Remember that Inoue said that he's going back this June? I think that's for Donaire and not for Casimero because that's just 2 months from the fight and he definitely need some rest after his fight this April.

If AD just keeps healthy even more than half of the season, they might have been in a better position.

They should consider trading Anthony Davis in the off-season while he is still valuable. Continous injury will deflate his value. He is a good contributor on Lakers and he always proves that even coming back to an injury. On his last comeback from injury, he is producing good numbers right away. But that was all useless if he will remain injury at most games every season. I'd rather trade him as a priority and Westbrook as second.

Unfortunate to see good young players hitting injuries at their prime. A waste of good talent.

Trading AD will be the best decision to be done by Lakers since in the first place he's injury prone now and this disturb their team rotation because they don't know if when he came back to the line up. I'd rather make westbrook stay because he's always available and we can say that he is still on his prime, maybe for this season he's not clicking due to frustrations he receive but once they get a better rooster next season provably they can make this line up work better.

It will be a good decision if ever there's a team who is willing to accept AD who have a high salary rate, we know that he's still a valuable player and a good asset but he's so vulnerable now and the entire league definitely know that. But yes, we don't know unless they try because maybe there's some lower teams who's willing to sacrifice young players to accept AD.

yes it is, it ryan's camp (oscar is his promoter) who chose this fight, hence, cherry picking. though it is considered cherry picked, still garcia needs to prepare well on this fight. another stepping stone but doesn't need to be taken for granted.
a lot are betting on garcia here no doubt. if you want to take more risk on your bets, check the other betting lines for this fight.


Yes, you're right things got bad after the fight with Campbell, now what I didn't know was that Oscar de la Hoya was still in action? I haven't heard from him for a long time, I thought he had retired from boxing, although he was an outstanding boxer, if they didn't choose him, it means that he still doesn't have a sufficient level to start, I think we could say that Oscar de la Hoya it would be one of the secret letters that are still out there from the old school.


Garcia was still young and he still have a lot to learn, his skills are good and I reckon that he really learned something big while fighting Campbell and that's why he had to take some time off to process it physically and mentally, I can also see that Garcia confident in his opponents and calm. So maybe that time while he was facing Campbell he was too confident that's why he caught unguarded by Campbell's blow.
He was probably because he is a knockout puncher and he really trust his power.  Good thing he was able to stand up and finish with a good win. In that fight, we saw that Ryan Garcia is also vulnerable to getting knockdown but we also see that he has a strong stamina.

Oscar De La Hoya, is retired from being a boxer and now he's a promoter called the Golden Boy Promotions. He is just using his experience and connections to get a good fight with good money to his cows.
He is in that business for awhile now, and for sure he made a lot of money since he is also promoting lots of champions.  De La Hoya is a smart boxer, he knows the path he has to go after his career, so until now he is still continuously growing his money even if he is not fighting anymore.

That's likely the case, he was overconfident of his ability to seek closed fight, we can see in the replay that he lowered his guard for a bit and Campbell used that chance to knockout Garcia. Luckily he was trained well that's why his body didn't collapsed immediately, and yes we saw that he's also vulnerable to such punches. I bet, he really learned a bigtime lesson on that one.

Is Nets a great team for play-offs this season ? Can they reach at least the Conference finals ?
As long as there's no major injury that will happen to Durant or Irving, they have a chance to be in the conference Finals and probably to be in the NBA Finals.

How much the game of 76ers will change in the play-offs ? Do you see Harden shooting more from 3 ? or the duo between him and Embid will keep going every game ?
I'd love to see the Sixers vs Nets in the ECF, that would be a great series as both teams have the star players that are an MVP caliber.
Like the Sixers having Embiid who is the heavy favorite to win an MVP this season.

Yes, but there's still 1 month left before the regular season ends. A lot will happen and tensions will start to rise mainly for those teams who are avoiding the play-in tournament. I hope these two guys are both present when they get through the playoffs.

A series match between the 76ers and Nets in the ECF is possible and it will be an entertaining game for sure.

Are you really assuming the FINALS of Easter Conference because this match that you guys dreaming is very hard to attain since Nets is on the lower bracket which will have a hard matches lineup on the road to final. There’s a high chance that Heat or Bucks will eliminate them  on the first or second round of the playoffs. Durant and Irving are known for being a fragile player during playoffs since they are doing overwork just to qualify on the next round. Heat or Bucks is hardcore team for them to beat on a best of 7 match. GL with that.

I don't know if you have read my whole quote because I was saying that there's still a month left and a lot will happen and a series match between the 76ers and Nets in the ECF is possible Grin You definitely misunderstood it.

I'm not assuming about anything, but the way they (Nets) play now makes some sense that they are trying hard to get a secure seat without playing more games in the play-in. The chances may be slim but chances are chances and it doesn't mean that they can't be in the ECF Finals just because of their spot now. Don't forget that they are in the higher tier before KD was injured, what more now.
3660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 13, 2022, 03:22:44 PM

Exactly! We cannot really compare Pacquiao with Spence to somehow get a better analysis on Ugas against Spence now on who has the advantage. Even them are just basing on the previous fights just to get some knowledge on each other's style as both sides haven't clash in recent years. Either way, both of them have prepared well and only one will go home with a belt.

The one who prepared most will take all the belts that in stake, there's no way concluding this fight with basing from their previous fights, unless we will see them both inside the ring and start throwing punches, the one who will survive will win. Both fighters are preparing, and they have conditioning drills and routines to increase their stamina.

But only one fighter will win unless the decision will go to a draw if both fighters will perform excellently and manage not to fall for a KO.

You're exactly right about that, we can only speculate what is likely to happen this May but we can't ever conclude the exact thing unless these two are finish fighting in the ring. The one who prepared the most only increases his chances to win, it doesn't mean that it is already sure because if that's the measurement there's no need to fight.
