Vasiliy Lomachenko and Teofimo ‘The Takeover’ Lopez put ink to paper for their highly anticipated multi-belt lightweight title unification clash, which will take place October 17 live on ESPN from the MGM Grand Conference Center (“The Bubble”) in Las Vegas. The event was formally announced on Tuesday by Top Rank and ESPN as part of a stacked October schedule with headliners featuring title fights or bouts with title implications on every weekend in the month.
Also added a poll, let's see who got lot of fans here in the forum.

Are we going to assist to a 1st sweep from a 3 0 in NBA history with Bucks winning the next 2 games , including tonight ? I would love to see BUcks coming back into this one and make it 3 2 and then 3 3 and maybe take the win and move into semi finals where I think they will face Boston.
Predictions for tonight : Bucks +6 and Lakers + 10
I would not think of that especially without Giannis, he is out tonight so that's probably 30% of the total strength of the Bucks that was taken away. The line has move to -5 Heat, I would take the heat even at -10 as this is probably going to be a blow out win by the Heat. -10 Heat is too high and they might not cover it. Bucks played very well without Giannis and looks like Middleton is trying to prove something that he could lead the team even without the MVP lol. I'm also betting for the Heat but i would took the -5.5 HC.

Congrats sa Bucks, akala ko sweep na sila, at least naka isa pa, at nanalo sila ng ma injured si Giannis. Ewan ko lang sa game 5, mukhang malabong maging 100% si Giannis kung sakaling makabalik man siya. Lates update sa kanyang status: https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/29932/giannis-antetokounmpoGiannis Antetokounmpo (sprained right ankle) wore a protective boot while exiting the arena on Sunday. "He’ll get treatment through the night," said coach Mike Budenholzer. "We’ll just how he does over the next 24-48 hours." The Bucks are down 3-1 and they'll try to extend their season on Tuesday, so everything is on the line. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Giannis "couldn't plant or jump off the sprain." We should have a status update on Monday.

Sana naging eye-opener ng Bucks yong pagkawala ni Giannis sa game 4 kasi gumanda yong ikot ng bola nila at sinamahan pa ng swerte kasi pumapasok rin yong mga 3's Lopez at Middleton when it matter the most. Kung sakali man na maglaro si Giannis kahit na hindi siya 100 percent, gagawin nalang siyang decoy and let Middleton handle the scoring load. Talo ako kanina pero sa game 5, pupusta pa rin ako sa Heat kasi kontra-pilo ng Bucks yong Heat at saka ang galing dumepensa ni Bam Adebado kay Giannis.

After Ranidel De Ocampo, another Katropa have announced his retirement from the PBA. Kelly "Machine Gun" Williams have posted in his social media account that he will be retiring after a fruitful 14 seasons in the PBA. Kelly could have achieve more in his PBA career if he don't have that rare blood disease that sidelined him this late in his career. To Kelly Williams, thanks for showcasing your skills in the PBA and entertaining this country who regarded basketball as a religion . Wishing you good health in your retirement. https://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/1869445/Cebu/Sports/Cebuano-forward-Kelly-Williams-announces-retirement

I consider this a tune-up fight for Cssimero for his much-awaited match against Inoue Micah is still not ripe to become a champion I could be wrong because he is also an experienced boxer and an undefeated one, but when you compared who both fighter's fights Casimero gets the better of the comparison.
Yup, this maybe a tune-up fight for him as he is already looking ahead on the fight with Nery, i just hope that he won't take this fight lightly as there are so many negative things that may happen if a boxers won't train very hard because of the thinking that they are fighting a nobody. As for a possible fight with Inoue, i don't think that it will happen very soon. Top Rank is building the career of this Japanese monster and fighting Casimero this time of his career may derail the plan of Bob Arum for this kid. Right, a tune-up fight for him, but it is very dangerous fight. I guess it shows the character of Casimero, sure Micah is unknown, but he is a live underdog here. So Casimero shouldn't be confident and look for the Nery fight. They can have all the trash talking they want whether in social media or boxing media if Casimero knocks out Micah and send the signal to Nery and Inoue. Tune-up fight words is not a good world, it's underestimating Micah the opponent, though Casimero here is the clear favorite but we should not underestimate Micah, he is a legit fighter which has good record and we only heard more on Casimero when he beats Tete, so there's more fights to come and he needs to prove that he can beat any fighter that a promoter would throw to him. Also, we have to remember that casimero is under the guidance of Manny Pacman, maybe his best fighter in his MP promotion, so I'm sure this guy does not underestimate his opponent and he is a discipline fighter. I may agree with you on using the word "tune-up fight" as it's a disrespecting sound to Micah, maybe we should use a more appropriate term like another "stumbling block" or a straight forward word "fight". Some of you may only heard about Casimero when he beat Tete but as for me, i followed and watch this guy fought live on some of his fights as he once based in Cebu. He has also travel and fought overseas and one of the fight he can't forget is his fight against Luis Lazarte of Argentina where his team's lives were endangered. Please see link below for that fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MihUeBDiOWA

Been away for a week as I have traveled, but today I'm back and I'm starting to bet again.
What's your pick on the games tomorrow guys?
I like the Heat to finish the bucks, so I'll get HEAT -2, I'm confident with this. (usually I lose when I'm confident)>
I think you will still win this one even if you are confident lol, so i'm backing you with this one. Bam Abedayo has Giannis number as a matter of fact his points average has gone down in this series and if no other Bucks that would step up to produce some points to help Giannis, they will be on early vacation.

I agree, brawler will just be a brawler, and when they are push, they don't know how to react. And besides, they don't have a good defense, because for they their offense is their best defense. As compare to technical fighters, who are defensive genius, know the sweet science of boxing, to hit and not get hit.
Not unless Davis, become too cocky and aggressive and then hit with a punch that he didn't see.
To hit and not get hit just like Mayweather but Davis is different from him as he is not a runner, he would engage in a brawl if needed and we all know who will end up in the canvass and that's not him. Agree with Baofeng that the chance for Leo to win is very slim that is why he is very motivated to train hard because if ever he can upset Davis, there is so much money for him in the rematch. The same with Davis, he can't be too overconfident here as this might cause complication on his next fight with the big names of this division.

If they need not to force things up, if they will copy the concept of NBA bubble.
There are no crowd that will be allowed aside from the people inside each franchise managements. PBA needs to be more strict as the country is not yet safe from covid and the ranging numbers of affected people are continuously growing.
The concept of the PBA bubble is starting to take shape now and the good news is the have the date on when to tentatively start the resumption of the games. If plans don’t miscarry, the PBA will restart its suspended 45th season on Oct. 9 and end hostilities by Dec. 10 or 15 with a possible schedule of four or five game days a week featuring tripleheaders under strict health/safety conditions as prescribed by the IATF.
Looks like that it will be a crowdless games as the IATF is very strict with the implementation of the safety protocol. Marcial said the board will evaluate various options to restart the season in the coming meeting. It could be a race to finish the season at least a week before Christmas. The options include a combination of tripleheaders and doubleheaders, games to be held four or five days a week and setting up bubble-like camps for the teams. Since the PBA disclosed that it is considering to create “bubble” camps like the NBA, at least 13 hotels have reached out to offer hosting services. Some hotels even suggested to transform their ballrooms into practice facilities and one provincial resort offered to build a tent for the games with the goal of promoting the season as a boost for tourism.

Tinanghal si Ja Morant na Rookie Of the Year, so ito na ang latest scores tally at sa wakas nakakuha na rin ako ng puntos . Congrats sa inyo Vaculin at ralle14. Mukhang kayo na talaga, totoo.... kahit nanalo ang Raptors, pero parang tsamba lang, celtics talaga ang consistent ang laro. Siguro para walang hatian, tie breaker nyu nalang yan, Si sir bisdak na bahala sa criteria, pick nalang kayo, kung agree kayo. Pasensya na brad pero kung sakali man na mag-tie sina ralle14 at Vaculin, hahatiin ko yong premyo sa kanila para naman at least may remembrance sila sa pa-contest ko at maala-ala nila na sila ay nagwagi .

This only shows that there is no available big man in the free agency better than Asi. Asi could have retired already and join the coaching staff have they not traded Poy Erram to TnT. On the other hand, kudos to him for maintaining that body to be physically fit even with his age and it's not easy to that also.

So Inoue will be facing Australia's Jason Moloney, this kid is a banger and it's tailor made for Inoue. Highlights of his last fight against Baez.
That's the right term bro, this fight is tailor fit for Inoue and this will make the latter looks good in the ring. Top Rank is grooming this kid to be the next Asian superstar and so far they are doing a very good job by cancelling his supposed fight with Casimero. Will be betting for Inoue by knock-out.

Denver Nuggets is +8.5, why? Are they weak enough as an opponent?
In the first round, Dallas was only +5.5 and now they are giving Nuggets +8.5? There must be something wrong here, could be an important player would miss this game but I think I'm still gonna take the Nuggets ML at 4.19 as long as they still have Jokic.
Just checked the odds and found the line is moving, it's +9.5 now and 5.40 ML Denver. This odds is tempting for me because it's only the first game and they yet have to adjust and this game could go either way so i will bet where the returns is high. Good luck to us and hope Denver will take game1 .

Latest update of the competition at tabla sa 40 points sina ralle14 at Vaculin at mukhang sila na ang dalawang mananalo sa contest na ito kung hindi gagawa ng milagro ang Raptors at Bucks sa kanilang mga series. Baka mabigay ko na ang premyo pagkatapos ng 2nd round of the playoffs kasi wala ng habol yong iba kina ralle14 at Vaculin.

What I don't like though is Casimero seems to be overlooking his opponent Micah and talking about a Nery or Inoue bout in the future? He should concentrate first on his opponent on line because Micah is a Olympian and no push-over hear and a live dog.
Although he is relatively unknown, but that what makes him very dangerous, just saying.
Quadro Alas is a bet cocky sometimes but the good thing about that is he will back it up with actions. The kid have been training for months now in the US and he is oozing with confidence jejeje. Kidding aside, Casimero should emulate the attitude of his boss Manny Pacquaio who traits every fight seriously and does not overlook somebody. Mica is a live dog indeed and could take the belt away from him if he doesn't take this fight seriously but the good thing is that Gibbons is there to counsel him on what to do. I'm a bet excited on how the bookies take this fight, i hope that it won't be 1.01 Casimero.

I think its hard to resist that SMB being the underdog, their local players along can already compete well against the TNT even with their import playing, this is a crucial game for both
I might agree with you if they have Fajardo playing with them healthy, but if not, SMB is a different team. Fajardo is big, could guard the paint and can match up an import, but it does not guarantee they will win as he is slow compared to an import of his size which is more athletic, but let us not talk about that yet, when the PBA resume, it will be the All Filipino Cup. (no import) Good news to all teams when the PBA resumes it's All_filipino Cup as the management of SMB have decided on not to play Fajardo on the 45th season even if he is ahead of schedule in terms of rehabilitation. “He’s recovering ahead of schedule,” San Miguel Beer team manager Gee Abanilla told PBA Rush in a telephone interview as the 6-foot-10 slotman was the only player who skipped the Beermen’s resumption of practice that was divided into four sessions in compliance with the small group workouts for the time being.
Head coach Leo Austria is also happy with the progress of Fajardo’s health condition.
“He’s in high spirits and doing well with his rehab,” added Austria.
But Fajardo will still be out of the season, according to Abanilla and Austria and they have no plans of risking him in this shortened season even if he gets better in the days to come.
But we don't know if there minds would change if the Beermen would reach the finals and the service of Fajardo would be badly needed.

Damn! That was some hardcore defensive game from Utah and Denver. Is this a new record of the lowest scoring playoffs game 7? 1st half was all Murray. 3rd quarter was all Donovan. 4th was some post-up big man game from Gobert and Jokic. I had so much fun watching them. Congratulations to the winners. Congrats on your win man, you are back on the winning track again. Ohh that's was a close game and i end up on the losing end . I went for the Jazz because i think that they can't be beaten thrice in a row but oh boy i was wrong, but it's okay we have to move on lol. What do you think of the Rockets vs Thunder tomorrow? I think it would be again a low scoring game as they will focus on defense and if Westbrook and Harden could limit their turn-overs i think they are good and they will meet the Lakers in the second round.

Most of these people are in the poor sector, without money and food to eat, and the stress being bored all day due to the quarantine protocols. People find ways to entertain themselves, only satisfying their cravings to wager their last cash only to enjoy. Those kinds of people are compulsive gamblers.
I don't think that these don't have any money at all as they can afford to bet on their cocks and mind you, taking care a couple of fighting cocks is costly so i think they have the money. I may agree that these guys are compulsive gamblers, they can't wait for the cockfighting arena to be open again or they are just a plain hard-headed individuals that don't think that what they are doing is putting the health of their families in jeopardy. Will this illegal cockfighting in quarantine period stops? I don't think so, they are just too many here in our country.
