41  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney - Sandor Martin Ordered By WBC For The Light Welterweight Title on: May 14, 2024, 11:12:04 AM
I think Haney will be able to regain himself here. I don't see his opponent to be dangerous to be honest because he has a low KO rate.

based on https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/578364... out of 42 wins, he only have 15 KO, and he has 3 losses already. So I believe this fighter is not really a threat to Haney, this might look like a tune up fight for Haney to get back in the game, but he is not the same fighter anymore as he was already beaten by Ryan Garcia.

I agree that Martin is not a threat Devin Haney if we consider his knockout ratio but this is the boxer that gave Teofimo Lopez a hard time when the latter move up to this division. I hope though that Martin could duplicate his performance when he fought Lopez so that we can see a competitive fight because if not then this could be a sort of a tune-up fight for Haney which he badly needed by now after that humiliation he suffered against Ryan Garcia.
Yes, the thing with Lopez is that he has power and very tough, as compare to what's left with Haney here, perhaps he is still emotionally affected by the big lost he got from Ryan Garcia. So if ever Martin goes on being aggressive and was able to maintain it throughout the fight and then Haney seeing the ghost of last fight, maybe Sandor can make it a close fight here. However, in close rounds, we've seen to notice that the judges usually gave the round to the champion, and unless Martin give us dominant showing per round he could be in the short end deal and judges giving the fight to Haney.

Does anyone here on the forum have the courage to buy the VIP package to watch the fights? It costs 2 million dollars and gives you the right to meet the fighters and some other benefits... I thought this package was quite expensive, even if I had a lot of money left over I wouldn't have the courage to pay all that

https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/most-valuable-promotions-offering-2-million-vip-package-for-mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul/

It seems kind of overpriced but it really solidifies the point that this is only a cash grab rather than a serious sporting event. Even if it’s sanctioned as a “real” fight, for two guys that aren’t aspiring to become world champion, they are really under no obligation to take this seriously. I’m guessing once they step inside the ring, everything will be somewhat scripted and the end result will be whatever organizers feel they can squeeze the most value out of. A Jake Paul victory leads to more circus fight paydays, while a Tyson victory could be used to market Tyson branded products as well as Netflix documentaries and series based around his personality.


Sometimes I even hope that it will be a worthwhile fight, but when I stop to think about the amount of money and the possibilities that an event like this can have (to raise money) I come to my senses and see it as an event to entertain people... I would really like it to be a real fight, with both of them trying hard to win... I hope it's a serious fight, otherwise disappointment will be inevitable.
You can see it though in the face-off that both are not serious, I mean Tyson digging on the body of Jake Paul and Jake simply pushing him and both have a big smile. And so it just shows that this fight is for entertainment and then Tyson making a huge paycheck. Just good to see Netflix really into this kind of entertainment, like they are in the roll. Last week if I'm not mistaken, it was roast of Tom Brady and it's a block buster. Almost all of the big fights have been concluded, so now everyone can focus on this fight and it's free if you are Netflix subscribers so if you don't have anything to do then you might as well watch it right?

As expected the Celtics won, but what they did in offense in the last quarter didn't give any hope for the finals. The appetite of the Western teams must be whetted. This series looks like 4-1 Celtics, it will be over in Boston in the next game.
Garland played a very good second half after a disastrous first half, but it wasn't enough. The Cavs fought well without Mitchell, everyone expected a much easier Celtics win. Still, a win is a win on the road. The Celtics are one step away from the East final.
Yes, and as expecting, Celtics is just steam rolling the teams in the East.

While in the West, it's very exciting match-up, I thought that the Dallas will win this game against the OKC because they have lead most of the way. But Irving is silent in this game, didn't score double digits although he has a few good assists and Luka had triple double. But SGA though, he really lead the team even when they are down, they keep on fighting and clawing with a big 34 big points and the rest of the team also help a lot. So it's now 2-2 and still very unpredictable game although Luka is not really healthy in this series and it might take a toll on him in the next couple of games.

I'm curious how many of ya'll think that this is a pre-determined rigged fight?  An honest assessment, as it's easy to just say "yeah, it's rigged".  Do you think it is, or do you think it's not? 
It's really hard to gauge though, I for one think that it might be rigged, but with the way they changes some and apply boxing rules, I think it's either they want to protect Jake Paul from Tyson for having this fight for just 2 minutes per round, or prevent Tyson from getting exhausted. And that's where Jake Paul's youth will enter into the picture and take advantage of the fight if Mike let's say just good for 1-4 rounds.

I'm on the fence.  On one hand, the money for both, win, lose or draw is going to be so massive that I don't think either would care if it was a rigged match (at least Paul wouldn't give a crap, but Tyson might).
For Mike Tyson, yeah, it could be his biggest purse, he wouldn't get out of retirement again to just get chump change to fight Jake Paul. And if I'm not mistaken, I'm hearing around $20 million guaranteed for Mike here.

I see that current youth is inspired by celebrities and influencers in big way. Did you also start investing in bitcoin because of some celebrity ? Or you know people who belong to that category ? Is it a wise decision to do so or we should do our own research for better results ?
No, celebrities might have influence Bitcoin to be mainstream, but I doubt that is the main reason why some of us are in this market. And if I'm not mistaken, this celebrities just went out around 2017, whereas there could be members here who have been in this community prior to that. I don't understand what you mean by better results, Bitcoin has been the prime mover of crypto and so it's the first crypto that everyone will invest and it involved itself from payment system by Satoshi to a investment, as an assets or hedge. And for those who haven't seen the roast of Tom Brady, it's even mentioned by someone.

I'm curious to know if there are other strategies you all are employing to maximize profits from your crypto holdings; I'm always eager to learn new skills from fellow enthusiasts.
I'm sorry but I don't think that there are secret sauce in crypto, others just simply invest what they can afford to lose. Then do the basic DYOR, and research which coin according to them will give a good returns in the future. In might take sometime to make that study and examination of which coin you want to invest. But if you think that you found that gem, then by all means invest on it. And another good strategy could be that they have accumulate already during the bearish phase like old and in the top 20 crypto and just waiting for the right time to sell, obviously it will be in the bull run to make tons of profits and for sure it's going to be worth that wait holding at least for more than a year or so.
48  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for May on: May 10, 2024, 09:22:03 PM
I just picked 'NO' because to me judging from bitcoin history we would hardly experience uptrend after halving and for that the market would always move on the sideways whereby it could go a bit high not upto the previous ATH and at some point it would go a bit lower than 60k to 55k till the period ends, i mean this year likely runs out completely before we could see bitcoin closing above $75k, no doubt that we could see it above this price only if there are to be more positive news that could spike the market to create a new wave of having another ATH, and will also like to draw your attention to keep in mind that anything is possible in cryptospace we could wakeup at midnight seeing bitcoin dancing at $100k yes this could be true since no one is sure about the market and its possibilities.

and crypto laws are being debated for now in the US, which will likely affect the price. this is becoming a very cruel market. just today it went up to 63k and 2-3 hours later it dumped to 60k. not that it's surprising but i think it will take time before the price hits $100k. i will not be expecting the price to shoot that high this year.

but i'm seeing what they speculated to happen that it will dip to $42k soon for BTC for it to bounce higher.
Well there is every possibilities because with the said news can caused a serious pull back in the market knowing too well that the market is mostly and always being driven by news, so for that there is every tendency that 42k could be something we would experienced. Especially the US debate, couple with Nigerian Government fighting against cryptocurrency traders whereby NGN are being delisted on most of the platform could be the cause of this suddenly drop in cryptocurrency market and there more possibilities it could go lower or sideways.
We will see then, I thought that the first dip could be at $50k and now they are talking about it going down at $42k? Yes, it's the regulatory framework or the SEC going against exchange like Coinbase or even the flow of ETF's that could affect the price right now. But it's hard to see it goes down to $42k although it's possible, but if we are in a bull run already and every opportunity to see the price goes down below $60k, there could be entities that are going to take and buy some causing the price to at least bounce back. Weekends is already here though, so we might see some slowdown as far as volume goes and sentiments for this month might continue to be bad.
49  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 10, 2024, 08:50:51 PM
lol Anthony Edwards is NOT the second coming of Michael Jordan.  We gotta stop talking about this nonsensical topic.  He's got to win a championship before this even remotely up for debate.

That said, it's exciting to see teams that are left are not the "normal" teams that you typically see in the Championships.  We don't have the Lakers or the Warriors etc.  It's refreshing to see a bit of "new blood".  Excited to see how things play out.
Perhaps it was just a comparison on how we see Edward plays, obviously, he is not even remotely close to what Jordan has achieved. But in terms of athleticism, I think there's where the comparison is, the high flying dunks, blocking shots and hitting his head on the board, those fade away shots are most of the similarity is. And just like your observation, no Lakers or Warriors, those old guards are fading into oblivion and young teams are taking over now, like OKC and the Wolves and this could be the start of the shift and maybe we can see some of this teams establishing their dominance like in the next 5 years or even establishing their own dynasties like what the Warrior did in the last decade or so.
50  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Kambosos - May 12 IBF Lightweight Title on: May 10, 2024, 02:00:13 PM
I love watching this kind of fight where both fighters are not fighting for the title but are also fighting for survival.
Kambosos is coming from two losses, and another one will shut him out of the limelight in international boxing,
Lomachencko is also coming from a heartbreaking loss, and a loss will get him thinking about retirement.
Kambosos was coming from a clear loss but Loma's status was quite different as some people think he really won the fight. So it's time for him to prove again tha the is still here and could still be a champion. Against kambosos, he'll go in an easier path as Kambosos only knows one thing, to attack and bully his opponent, but against Loma, I doubt it will work.

I know this fight is important, so I will not rule out a draw or a rematch if the fight is too close because both fighters have the same style of fighting, and we all know style makes a fight.
I don't see it ending in a Draw, there should be a winner but if in case it will end in a close match, then rematch should be sign.
Same here, I doubt that the score card will end in a draw unless the judges somewhat is biased on Kambosos as this fight is made in Australia. And it's going to be hurtful again for Loma, specially on how he lost his fight to Haney as clearly he did enough in the second half of the fight to win. Hopefully, there's no home cook decision, judges should be fair on how they are going to score in this fight. For the stare down, yes, we really love to see two boxers facing and then no one want to be first one to blink as this is a sign of weakness as other says. So they stay as long as they can and trying to sizing up their opponents.

Hey, Playgram.io! Welcome to the forum.
It seems that your images are not showing up due to some reason.

I would recommend you to use talkimg.com for image posting in the forum. The platform was created by one of our forum member for posting images.

Coming back to your telegram casino, it seems that you might be the second casino that works well on the telegram platform. Do you have any plans to promote your casino in the forum?

EDIT: The images are showing up sometimes and not showing up sometimes.

Thanks! Quite a fresh start when ImgBB starts to play games Cheesy Lets hope TalkImg is more reliable Smiley

We've not yet made any decisions about signature campaigns, but I'm sure we'll run other promos on the side at least in the forum.

Play responsibly,

I was about to suggest though that you used used talkimg. Nevertheless, it's great to see another Telegram based casinos being introduce, and if I'm not mistaken, you could be the second platform recently that introduces this kind of set-up so goodluck. And perhaps it will be better if you run a signature campaign here in this community to promote your site? One advantage of it is that obviously, your new platform needs marketing in this community. Gambling community I would say is one of the biggest so you need this kind of exposure. Unlike the other platform, which has a web base site, your casino is purely Telegram right?

I want to ask: Are Using A Journal or Spreadsheets Will Fave The Way For Addiction To Gambling? My reasoning is that by creating a spreadsheet or a journal, you are taking gambling seriously and looking for ways and a means to win in sports betting or luck-based games.


Spreadsheets will make you to manage proper your bankroll because you will consider your current bankroll size for your bet size. Let’s say I started with 1000$ then went down by a 100$, I will start adjusting my bet size increase/decrease depending on my situation.

Just like trading,  a record of your activity will help you to assess your current status.

Quote
Does anyone here have their own journal or spreadsheets, and are you taking gambling seriously?

Don’t need since casino offers a transaction history that works same as spreadsheets and journal. Besides, you can always request for your account summary to casino support to save time on recording your data.
But it's different though, in trading we have strategies, in gambling their is none, all you can write is what games you play and how much you lose or win on that particular game. After that there no plan or strategy whatsoever. But yeah, all of the online casinos now have transaction logs already, and it's readily available to you as you can see the data that you want to see. Unless you to go land base casinos as your main platform and not online. The approach is pretty much the same, bring in some money as capital and at the end of the night, you will also known how much money you spend. But a journal won't help.
53  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for May on: May 09, 2024, 01:52:06 PM
I voted no as well as I don't really see Bitcoin price reaching even $70k, much less $75k being that it's price is stuck at a particular range, trading at around $62-63k. If anything we'd experience a range of $65-66k before the end of this month but hoping to see it get close to the ATH threshold will be too much of an expectation.

Yes, it seems that we are in the sideway pattern again, but it we base on the last bull run cycle after the halving, almost the same movement so no worries. There is a jump to $64k if I'm not mistaken, but it wasn't a sustainable run as it seems to be a fake break out obviously.

But don't be negative if we have a sideway pattern, at least everything is even out as far as buying/selling goes and then the volume. On the other hand, another golden opportunity to continue with our DCA at least for this month.
Presently, Bitcoin is $61,483.47 as at time of writing and if it continues drop, weak hands will start panicking and may want to sell off their coins and at this point any favorable news concerning a positive surge in price is deeply needed by the community.

The month of May is still quite fresh and there's still the belief that a turnaround can occur and while we do not know if there'd be any approval of ETFs that could hasten that process, there might be a whale interested in taking advantage of price but all the same, it's to keep our fingers crossed and hope for something better.
Yeah, I think it's all about the excitement of the halving, and then the high fees that follow after that. And now momentarily lull or sideway patterns for this month. We went as low as $57k but bounce back to $63k. And if we have to average it, could be around the current price that we have. It's good though that the weak hands has been shaken again. And what's left is for us regular and average joe investors, just continue to do DCA and just truly invest what we can afford at this fight. Nevertheless, if thee will be a turn around for this month, something positive news should be seen. But so far, none of that has surfaces yet and so investors is on a wait and see attitude again.
54  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: May 09, 2024, 01:31:58 PM
It's because Casimero is not the same when he was in bantamweight and so it make sense the Inoue will skip him for better fight. And it will be the same outcome to be honest, I don't think anyone can beat Inoue, although we have seen him getting knock down. But what's more scary is his ability to recover, maybe 60% of the opponents of Nery that tasted that power can can't back, but not Inoue.

I saw the video of him mocking Inoue when he goes down from that punch, but it will just added for Inoue not to face him.

Casimero should be back in the ring though, he is not getting any younger and although he won his last fight, majority of us here are not captivated by that win.

If Casimero really wants that fight, then at some point he has to prove it inside the ring. Taunting Inoue isn’t going to get him any closer to making it happen if he is inactive and stagnating in the rankings. From what I’ve seen recently, I’m not sure Casimero would even beat Nery or Fulton. I’m sure his strategy is to just wait for Inoue to clean out the division until it is his turn, but he is losing relevancy with his lack of recent accomplishments, which could make Inoue decide to just move past him and go up in weight.

Well, now that Inoue has already fought the top contenders, then he has the liberty to fight Casimero. I believe Casimero still has it, but his journey in this new division are not as good when he was still at bantamweight division which Inoue didn't fight him. Casimero will continue to improve his ranking, but the question is, is Inoue will make sure he'll wait for Casimero? I think Inoue can easily move up, so the fight is not gonna happen.
Casimero doesn't have any to bring for Inoue except that taunting, which I think the camp of Inoue has matured already from all the antics of Casimero and that's whey his name is not even mentioned. And if ever he will be, he might be just the 3rd options for Inoue. And as we pointed out, the number 1 contender will be the next for Inoue and that is Sam Goodman. And how can Casimero continue to improve his ranking when he doesn't have any scheduled fight yet? By now, barely 6 months before the end of the year, he should have a scheduled fight by now and had name opponents already and we can access if it is a upgrade fight for him or not.
55  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 09, 2024, 12:55:58 PM
I think this is another learning experience for the Mavs, not sure though why bettors favor OKC in game one as it is in their homecourt and if you look at the odds, they are the favorite and Mavs are like 2.x as underdog, so that is big enough to cover. And as we can see, the oddmakers are correct in their prediction as OKC is the number 1 seed in the West and yeah they proved that it's no accident, that they are real even though their core is very young team with SGA at the helm and Chet and the name sake Williams and Josh Giddey although is somewhat got hit in the mouth and just scored 2 points. So just imagine if he scores around his average in the next game, it will be a big lead to boot for the OKC. But we all know that Kyrie and Luka will have to do something in game two. Current odds at Stake is OKC at 1.52 and Mavs at 2.65.
OKC work hard on that win, they are playing with great chemistry but you know, adjustments will happen in game 2 and as Kyrie and Luka are more experienced that the leaders of the OKC Thunder, I think it's possible that we will see a 1-1 series score after game 2. That was a blowout win by the OKC, just like what they usually do at home, so even if the Thunder will win game 2, things will be different in game 3 and 4 as they will be traveling to Dallas which is not a familiar teritory for them.

Better for Mavs to find the right adjustment and possible to tie the series, it will be a tough one for them if OKC established that confidence travelling to their home court, I mean, even the Thunders are still composed of your stars but with that kind of chemistries and good combinations of both defense and offense it will be a tough job for Mavs beating this young team.
This is also what I'm thinking, even though we think that Luka and Kyrie will go back in this series, we can't deny that they are the number 1 team in the East and they have proven that it's no fluke in this second round against the more experience Luka. And SGA second in MVP voting? That could boost his confidence as well.

Though, experienced wise, I still believing that both Luka and Kyrie will not waste this opportunity to move forward for the finals they already in this stage so it will be a inspiration for them to push for more.
I agree, but they need someone to step up to be their 3 or 4 scorer, they need a spark from the bench to help them get over when the OKC are taking over the 3rd quarter and just cruising in the 4th. So we will see if there are adjustments made on their part or OKC is really that good and want to proved that they can advance with SGA leading them. And I'm seeing the fans chanting his name again as their MVP.

As on my own opinion alot of newbies have fallen in to hand of scammers because of their insufficient knowledge about Bitcoin so therefore it take a high risk to make an investment when you yet to understand the Bitcoin investment to avoid been scammed of your hard earnings
Take your time learn and implement before you inter market or make any investment as a newbie
Hmm, from the title itself? like investing on Bitcoin, you can do that in the beginning with little amount and buy to let's say in a exchange. And then try to study and learn it later and see how it goes for you. I mean like buy worth of $50 as your entry level and watch the market and at the same time educating from it. And obviously, the best community is where you are right now. You can either ask questions or just go search as there are a large of knowledge base here in this forum. The problem though with some beginners is that they didn't do the research first, as their questions might have been answered a thousand times already.
57  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Before Trading Bitcoin you should... on: May 08, 2024, 01:43:05 PM
Do not quit your job if you have one until you have become very profitable in bitcoin trading. The market can become very unpredictable and you can lose funds, so for you not to go bankrupt you should be very profitable before you quit you job or any other source of income you have.

Do not forget that you should always risk what you can afford to lose.
Of course, why would you quit your regular job, Bitcoin trading has a lot of ups and downs throughout, and it's not a stable money stream, there are days that you are going to lose and days that you are going to win, and that's why it is often compare to gambling. And throughout my stay here in the community, I have seen threads before in 2018, wherein in 2017 we have a bull run and a lot of individuals make great money and then they think of quitting their jobs and focus on airdrops or bounties or trading. But I haven't seen then for a while now because we all know what happens in 2018 as it is a bear market and those who quit there jobs might have a hard time making money and bringing food in the table for their family. So it's not what others have been promoted, it's very difficult to trade and you need some capital to begin with.
58  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 08, 2024, 12:41:51 PM
I am basically ready to buy another dip in DCA method this May, I deposit bitcoins in DCA method every month. But since the beginning of May is only a few days away, I wonder if there is a possibility of a dip in Bitcoin this May? 
No one really knows, however, isn't it the essence of DCA though, regardless of the price, you are going to buy weekly at least so why wait for the price to dip? Just buy and see how it goes, doesn't matter if the price is up or down, as long as you are consistently buying and looking for long term perspective, you will be all good. So that's the key here, you can step aside your weekly money, maybe less than $100 will do in beginning. Everyone as went to this kind of method, it's tough I know, but if others can do it, you can do it. No need to wait for the dip, just like what had happen when the price goes down to $57k because it will bounce back the soonest but if you DCA, you won't be affected by this wild swing in prices.
59  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 08, 2024, 11:36:30 AM
As everyone expected the Boston Celtics got a dominant win over the Cavaliers. They're just too much better of a team. I was a bit surprised to see Dallas get beaten by so much by the Thunder. I’ve underestimated the Thunder along with everyone else all year, but I thought this would be as far as they go. If they get to round 3 I might have to start paying attention.

OKC just showed the entire NBA fans why they were No. 1 seed of their conference, it was no fluke! Yeah, I didn't anticipate such a terrific offense from Oklahoma City Thunder, and they also limited Doncic efficiency and Dallas to a joint lowest point scored for this playoffs. Luka hasn't at any point been 100% fit, and I really do hope he hasn't aggravated his injury because for Dallas to stand a chance here Luka Doncic is a must have for this series.

There could be fans here who think that OKC is just a fluke being the no. 1 seed and thought that Dallas are going to win their first game. They are all talking about how OKC's inexperience will be their downfall in this series. However, they've shown good defense, like what Dallas did to the Clippers and so it's like giving them a dose of their own medicine as they not even get to century mark and that is the attribute of a good defense all around, Luka way below his average with only 19 points although had 9 assists but still not enough. Series is still early, but the Mavs needs some adjustment as they need to limit SGA offensive.

Provably there is and its normal to think that Mavs has higher chance to win against OKC since they have Luka and Kyrie which is a huge threat for them offensively. But a lot of people got surprise  on game one and they show how solid their defense also their offense since they totally limit the scoring of Luka also make hard the life of Irving to contribute on scoring. They make these guys commit a lot of turn overs that's why they take the advantage on this series. I'm somehow excited to see the adjustment made by Mavs since they just need to make Irving and Luka heat up since if that will happen in game 2 maybe they can get their revenge and make this match up became more interesting. Gafford's performance is so amazing today and I'm impressed on his hustle on offense and defensive ends.
I think this is another learning experience for the Mavs, not sure though why bettors favor OKC in game one as it is in their homecourt and if you look at the odds, they are the favorite and Mavs are like 2.x as underdog, so that is big enough to cover. And as we can see, the oddmakers are correct in their prediction as OKC is the number 1 seed in the West and yeah they proved that it's no accident, that they are real even though their core is very young team with SGA at the helm and Chet and the name sake Williams and Josh Giddey although is somewhat got hit in the mouth and just scored 2 points. So just imagine if he scores around his average in the next game, it will be a big lead to boot for the OKC. But we all know that Kyrie and Luka will have to do something in game two. Current odds at Stake is OKC at 1.52 and Mavs at 2.65.

@inthelongrun. This is my reply in King Ry vs. Haney thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5484591.msg64042433#msg64042433

I reckon if that is correct, everyone who has said many negative things will feel stupid again very much similar when they felt stupid after King Ry's victory because they have been tricked again by team Ryan heehhehe.

I am not sure what's happening on Ryan right now. I thought Haney stops him but I wanted him to win because he is the more exciting fighter. I am glad that he get the win. But now he needs to prove himself clean or he is simply tinted and the fight will change into a no-contest.

@Kemarit, hopefully the garbage WBC will strip him of his belt. How many years Jermall has to hostage the belt? His last defense was 2021 and we are already in the year 2024. Mungia was supposed to be the mandatory of that belt back then but the corrupt WBC did not even call a purse bid to make the fight happen. Maybe Alalshikh can do something to this corrupt sanctioning bodies.
Yeah, it's about time that WBC stripped Charlo of his belt, and maybe relegated the interim champ Carlos Adames as a full pledge champion and then faces the number 1 fighter in their division Meirim Nursultanov. At least make this division alive again although the names of the champion is not household at least for now. If you look at it, only Erislandy Lara is recognizable, but I think he could also be very well out of the door as he is no longer in his prime. He just lucky to have that WBA belt when we have given the chance to fight for it against Thomas LaManna. Too bad though to hear that Charlo has some bruised with the law. I'm not sure what some of the boxers are in the wrong side of the law. They are famous and fame and have money already.
