Amazing! I never expected an MMA fighter could do amazingly against a boxer in a boxing match, but well here is the result of my bet it

Tyson Fury VS Francis N'Gannou ROUND 10 DECISION - LOST

Just like I have said it was an amazing match Francis Ngannou just rocked the hell out of Tyson Fury, and Fury didn't expect that for sure I thought that Francis Ngannou would win this one, and when Ngannou knocked out Tyson Fury I really thought that it was a win for Ngannou for sure I really thought that Francis Ngannou will be announcing the winner on this boxing match, for me Francis Ngannou got a great defense and even landing body shots on Tyson Fury in this match and for sure Ngannou is just taking the big shots of Fury like a champ and he even outsmart Tyson Fury on one occasion, for me the biased judges got it wrong I think that only 1 judge has it correct and give the fight to Francis Ngannou it was really a close match, for me this is a clear indicator that MMA fighter can surely cross into Boxing and have successful results and MMA fighters often doing this for a huge pay but we really don't see boxer crossing into MMA and for sure that would be a terrible decision for them, and

I am really proud of what Francis Ngannou has done here, and I want Ngannou to box again or maybe a rematch against Tyson Fury, or maybe a fight against Anthony Joshua, or even Deontay Wilder, I think he can beat this guy,

Here are my bets and predictions for this game for today and for tomorrow,

Eintracht Frankfurt VS Dortmund

The stake odds for this game are 3.30 for Frankfurt 3.25 for a Draw and 2.14 for Dortmund,. Lucas Alario, Kristijan Jakic, Philipp Max, and Hrvoje Smolcic all got injuries and can not play, while Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Julien Duranville, and Thomas Meunier all got injuries and Soumalia Coulibaly, called up for international duty, for this game I think we got a good odds I will be getting the money line for this game and I think that Dortmund can do this and win for this game, so my pick is Dortmund,

Leverkusen VS SC Freiburg

The stake odds for this game are 1.28 for Leverkusen 5.60 for a Draw and 10.00 for Freiburg, for this game Robert Andrich, Karim Bellarabi, Odlion Kossounou, Andrey Lunev, and Patrik Schick are all injured and can not play for the Leverkusen, while Daniel-Kofi Kyereh can not play because of injury, for this game, there is no doubt for this Leverkusen is highly favorable in winning and the odds are not great so I am betting for the correct score for this game 3 - 1 Leverkusen win,



403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: October 28, 2023, 08:30:42 PM

they did recover in the 3rd quarter and i was tempted to cashout as i'm already winning but then again the Phoenix Suns were gaining and unfortunately won in the end. i was more surprised to see Kevin Durant is already in Phoenix. he used to be in the GSW so this guy is a sell out.
\
anyway, it's just the start of the season no worries.
i would actually be waiting for your bets in this thread, after all, i see often on the sports thread that i also follow.


Yes! It is just the start of the season and for sure we still have a lot to take before concluding that the team could win, but yeah it surely is no worries because we are still starting the season, well, for sure I will be posting my bet here but this next bet I will risk this one for me it is more tempting to bet on the underdog and this is a support for the MMA community,



Tyson Fury VS Francis N'Gannou

The odds for this fight are 1.06 for Fury and 8.20 for N'Gannou this fight is really interesting if an MMA fighter can defeat a boxer in the playing field boxer sure this is an interesting fight to watch I think I will go with the MMA fighter I know I will be risking my bet for him but I am still doing this I think a good 1 punch can knock out Tyson well a lucky punch if it hits and after watching the fight conference for this fight it was really funny that Francis Ngannou got Tyson Fury with this one line sentence and it stopped the trash talk of Fury, for sure here is the video, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GgK4izB2pkY

Well, this is just a risk bet and I know Francis Ngannou is just aiming for the money and not the win but it is more tempting to bet for the underdog and Ngannou just needed 1 strong punch to take out Tyson Fury but we all know that Fury is the dominant fighter when it comes to boxing, well. please take this bet as a grain of salt, this is for my own risk,

LOL, Almeida vs. Lewis event, that is going to be in a week is so lame, that we discuss Bones legs, bare knuckle fights and slap contest Cheesy It is actually funny how Bones chicken legs survive all those low kicks and weight Bones+opponent put on them. But in his calves defence I can say, that these muscles are extremely hard to train or make big. Simply take a look on top bodybuilders. Everyone have huge back, huge shoulders, arms, quadriceps, but not everyone have huge calves. So it is genetical.

I am interested in Jailton Almeida getting into a title shot, so this fight is for me Jailton Almeida will win this because we all know Derrick Lewis is a bummer that doesn't have any technical striking, so yeah this is a sure win for Jailton Almeida in my opinion,

Right now we don't have any event this week but next week will be the beginning of a new event for the UFC, and in that event, another fight that I want to see is Caio Borralho VS Abus Magomedov, this is an interesting card for this event for sure,


Yup and he's gonna face either of those guys at some point in the future anyway...  It's just when he's back he'll skip Stipe Miocic.  But the thing is at Jones' age, recovery and rehab after the surgery could take longer than anticipated.  And even if he does return at the anticipated time, his knee could continue to bother him.  He'll prolly have one or two more fights in him then call it quits.

I agree this injury will take quite some time and this is because of his age Jon Jones is really prone to injuries right now so it is not really advisable for him for extensive activities, so I am pretty much sure that he will be having a hard time in recovering but let's all hope it will not and for him a fast recovery,


Honestly still not that excited for Miocic.  Not sure why...  I mean he was a good heavyweight but never really considered him to be 'the best' even tho the record says he's the best.  Dunno...  I guess if we already had guys like Aspinall and Pav fighting back in the day, I think Miocic would just be a fringe top 5'er at best.

UFC Free Fight:  Lewis vs Blaydes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ2saxQH-so

UFC Free Fight:  Almeida vs Roz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJY0ORCAWHE

Almeida is lined at 1.19?  Lewis is def value here.

Edit:  Looking at the next event's match ups, there are some decent ones in there.

Stipe Miocic is a Legend but a fossil should stay hidden or maybe retired for good, he is currently number 3 in the ranking but his last fight was against Francis Ngannou back on March 27, 2021, on UFC 260 so it was a long fight he hasn't stepped inside the Octagon so why not retired then, actually Glover Texeira wants to be a replacement for Jon Jones to fight Stipe and I really don't know if that could be more worst for sure

Thank you for bringing this out, I'd go bet on this, though I plan on accumulating with other games likely to end as full time draws in my head.
Some of them games is Barcelona - Real Madrid, Napoli - AC Milan,  Stuggart - Hoffenheim and lastly either of Wolves - Newcastle and Burnley and Bournemouth. I'm so damn sorry for bringing this here. But you could also taka good look at them and share your opinions.
I've been disappointed a lot by the Premier League games so I don't pick them just the way I do before.
Stuggart - Hoffenheim should be a complete draw game, the both sides would likely be without goal scorers. So those chances of scoring many goals have been defeated.

For sure if you feel like the game will go south then go for it, that feeling could get you to win a game in the Bundesliga just like what I did in this game, and back my gut feeling with the analysis for these two teams that it could surely go into a draw a simple analysis is also great and taking sides if what team could go into a draw and who is winning it,


Bochum and Mainz both is the teams who still unable to gets the winning results until week 8 but at least Bochum was slightly better than Mainz because they can collect 4 points from 8 matches and this match actually is hard to predicted because the conditions from them is not so different but i am sure Bochum had more motivation to gets their first winning this season but Bochum record look terrible because so far they can scores 6 goals from 8 matches and it proven they have serious problem to their front lines because from the current strikers which Bochum have but only Takuma Asano who can able to scores with 2 goals and for this match i have to agree with you that probably draw result is the best pick considering they have equal conditions and for the scores maybe it will ended with 1-1 or 0-0

If you went on and bet for this game and followed my Draw bet then Congrats to us because the game ended with a 2 - 2 Goals and likely it is a big cash out if you put a lot of money into this for me this is an interesting game and if we likely have predicted it the correct way it is really interesting for sure, so congrats to all that have bet for this game,




VfL Bochum VS Mainz GOAL 2 - 2 - WIN

Actually, this is my first bet for a draw game that I won most of the time I haven't experienced betting with a draw and won that game this is my 1st time winning a drawn game and I am really happy about it and I might try it again on other games for the Bundesliga, well in this game a penalty was instantly given to Bochum, and Kevin Stoger got a goal for that Penalty, while in the halftime the next goal is for Mainz  but it was an Own goal for Keven Schlotterbeck and made the game into a draw, then  another goal for Bochum and the Assist of Kevin Stöger to Keven Schlotterbeck, then an assist of Karim Onisiwo, to Tom Krauß for the game to be drawn again,

I think even the biggest and most expensive nfts proved that they were pointlessly high because only a few people would buy them and these were all guys who had a lot of money or gambled to try flip. Didn't work anymore:) So F1 seems like one of the last few places to advertise since rich guys are there and looking for status symbols Smiley

Well right now NFT's are just in the past just like what happened with ICO projects that you can not see anymore, NFT will also go in that same direction if that certain NFT reaches a certain amount that people can not buy it anymore it will surely just stay in your wallet for good, but I can feel with the impending Bull Run maybe NFT's could get a sudden value boost but certain no one can not afford it anymore, only the whales can, but if they would risk to buy it from you,


I dont care about NFT at all but they can be useful in some cases or for tickets.
NBA teams are using them for some time so it was only question when other sports would join this trend, but I dont see how it can benefit Formula 1.
Team NFT is the same thing for me as altcoins, and there is not much difference.

Many surely don't care about this NFT, or don't really know about them, or don't have any knowledge at all, but for me, I would just buy a good Altcoin than buy an NFT that you can not know if there will be a sure value in the future, but getting it into the F1 world maybe there are still promoters for this kind of stuff,



We are now on Practice 2 for the Mexico Grand Prix and so far Max Verstappen is pretty much dominant, for the 2 practice races that we have, but it is interesting that Alexander Albon from the Williams got into the 2nd place in Practice 1 and then followed by Sergio Perez, then Practice 2 Lando Norris from McLaren landed in the 2nd place and Charles Leclerc on Ferrari on the 3rd place now it is curious if Practice 3 will be different or Lando Norris could get back at the 2nd place, it is really exciting for tomorrows Practice 3,

I was late to notice GBP's card last weekend. By the time I tuned in it was already done. Alexis Rocha is an exciting fighter but he can't hurt his undefeated opponent Giovanni Santillan whose punishing lethal shots proved too much. It was a better match-up than Matchroom's Catterall-Linares.

It would've been nice if Linares made a farewell fight against an easier opponent in Japan where he started his pro career or in his native Venezuela. Linares already lost 4 straight fights. Fights that he was supposed to win if he was in his prime including Haney.

As I have said it was still an interesting event even though the Main was kind of a boring fight but watching it thoughtfully you can surely see how the punches and those technical ones were really a great sight to behold, for sure and yeah Giovanni Santillan has a great job in dealing with Alexis Rocha it was a fun fight to watch,

Well, an easy money fight maybe 2 fights just to secure him good enough money but to retain a winning record I think that is a great send of for him to retire,



Tyson Fury VS Francis N'Gannou

The Stake odds for this fight are 1.06 for Fury and 8.20 for N'Gannou this fight it is really interesting if an MMA fighter can defeat a boxer in the playing field boxer sure this is an interesting fight to watch me I think I will go with the MMA fighter I know I will be risking my bet for him but I am still doing this I think a good 1 punch can knock out Tyson well a lucky punch if it hits and after watching the fight conference for this fight it was really funny that Francis Ngannou got Tyson Fury with this one line sentence and it stopped the trash talk of Fury, for sure here is the video, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GgK4izB2pkY

I've got the Bucks here as well, and I also felt Giannis Antetokounmpo total points Over 26.5 @ 1.8 Odds is a steal, so I took that players props too, I just hope he can get going here tonight and doesn't get into any kind foul troubles early.

It's been a good start for the first couple of minutes, this should be an interesting one.

The right decision in taking the Milwaukee Bucks although my last bet was a loss this game was interesting between the Milwaukee Bucks and the  Philadelphia 76ers for sure, I was surprised that it was a close game you can see that Damian Lillard is still working out his chemistry with the team but he did an impressive job in this game, while Antetokounmpo has relied more on the rebounds so it was interesting that their role was a shift which is an interesting thing for me, and with the 76ers Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. has an interesting tandem with Joel Embiid I really don't know if they mostly needed James Harden but if Harden did see the great play on this team now I really hope he changes his mind towards leaving,



Results on my bet for the games yesterday

Milwaukee Bucks VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 118 - 117 - WIN

It was a close game and I never imagined the Philadelphia 76ers would do great in this game well I never really expected they would do worse because James Harden is not playing but this is interesting indeed and sure I don't know if the 76ers are bad but they are doing well, but for sure Damian Lillard is still getting a hang on his new team, and with that Brook Lopez made 13 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 23 points, and Damian Lillard has a whopping 39 points for this game,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 100 - 95 - LOST

It was a close game even though Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Damion Lee did not play well I expected that Devin Booker could not play completely and that made the game with the Los Angeles Lakers quite an interesting one for sure but it was a lost for me so yeah it was an interesting game though Kevin Durant did a great job in keeping the game close but still the Lakers still managed to win, D'Angelo Russell has 14 points, Labron James has 21 points and Lebron James has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 30 points,


409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 27, 2023, 11:23:20 AM

In the Champions League, I think Union Berlin is finished, because their chances of qualifying are very impossible. In fact, they also had difficulty finishing in third place in Group C and continuing their journey in the European League. It would be wise for Union to choose to shift their focus to the Bundesliga, and improve the situation slowly, the UCL is still quite difficult for them. Their performance is very different from last season, where they managed to finish in fourth place in the Bundesliga and scored 62 points. In the eight matches they have played this season, they have only managed to achieve two consecutive wins at the start and the remaining six matches have been lost in a row.

But on the other hand, I admire Union Berlin who have succeeded in realizing their dream of competing in the highest caste of European football. Having the status of a small club but always fully supported by its sportsmen with a close sense of family, even though their favorite club experienced consecutive defeats, they did not leave the field before the match ended.

If they managed to not get relegated this season then they can surely have a chance to get their form fixed and hire a decent player or even train and prepare their players for the next season of the Bundesliga, for sure they did a great job in making this happen last season they manage to land in the sweet spot in the 4th position enough for them to compete for the UEFA Championship, for me Union Berlin is a new team they can still manage to get this done for sure,



Here are my bets for the Bundesliga upcoming games later,

VfL Bochum VS Mainz

The stake odds for this game are 2.65 for Bochum 3.15 for a draw and 2.55 for Mainz, for this game VfL Bochum's injuries are Jordi Osei-Tutu, Gonçalo Paciência, Patrick Osterhage, Matus Bero, Luis Hartwig, Michael Esser, Lys Mousset, and Mohammed Tolba, and all can not play for Bochum, while Mainz injuries are Phillipp Mwene, Nelson Weiper, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Jonathan Burkardt, all have injuries and can not play for Mainz and Anwar El Ghazi has 1 game suspension and can not play for this game, for me I think that Mainz are having a difficult time lately, and for sure they are having a hard time with their form while Bochum lately having a more likely satisfying game but for sure mostly become a draw but for sure this is not because of their injuries in my opinion, but for me I think this game will likely become a Draw so I will be betting for a Draw game,

I would choose Football, Basketball, Tennis and some other sports games absolutely every day if I had to make a career. Fighting is brutal, it affects your brain, your face and you get paid small, doesn't worth it.

I agree, the history of fighters in boxing some have a concussion and trauma in their brain, and likely some are now in a vegetative state, not all are lucky like Pacquiao who retired from boxing and became a figure of power in the government and a well-known person after his boxing career, for sure there are boxers that doesn't attain this kind of popularity

But for sure I also don't want to be a boxer or choose boxing if I would pick a sport for myself, or Bare Knuckle of Slapping Tournament as well, but Taekwondo, or even MMA I would love to try, well those rules in the MMA are keeping the fighters safe than with boxing that still needed for their opponent to be drop when the referee could count to 10 for the fight to finished for sure MMA also has lesser rounds just for fighters to be safer,

-snip-

Not a fan too but I like to watch non UFC events that's on from time to time and make small bets here and there just to make it more interesting to watch.  But tbh it was a good watch.  I mean I don't think it'll be as huge as the UFC but it could have its own spot among sporting events.  I wouldn't mind watching the next one.

And as a new sport, the lines could be soft for the next events until the books adjust.


Actually, I would be watching MMA Sports other than the UFC, but the Slap Tournament would be brutal for me after seeing that Disfigured face, I can surely feel his pain, Dang I really don't know how he survived that Concussion and  trauma it could give in his head would definitely be severe,

But definitely be watching Sports rather than the Slap Tournament,

@owengtam09. Agreed. Jon Jones did not easily injure his body during training when he was the light heavyweight champion. His cancelled fights before were only because of smorting cocaine, abuse of alcohol and the hit and run of a pregnant woman. I reckon that this injured knee might be caused by being overweight for these chicken legs!

I am quite certain these bones of Bones Jones cannot carry more than 150 kilograms without injury.



And for sure he is not training than Bone Legs because if he did that would not be an issue, for sure The abuse he gives on his body has taken a toll on him, and don't forget even abused his wife at the same time, but even though he would not fight for the 295 event it is still a juicy fight for sure,

411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 26, 2023, 06:19:48 PM

I took a pass in this fight last weekend. I find Catterall a boring fighter and he was cherry-picking a very old former 3 division champion. Catterall needs an impressive win in order to make trends in the division once again since Taylor already lost and is moving up in weight. But maybe he could get an offer from any of the current champions which I believe he still deserves.

As for Linares, I am glad he announced his retirement. He could've taken an easy fight and then retired for good. He's got great memories in his career. His journey was very inspiring. Venezuelan boxing has less support and sponsorships, the reason it is hard to become a champion or a long-time champion. Luckily for Linares, he started his career in Japan and was signed by Teiken Promotions. With Linares, Chocolatito Gonzales, and Edwin Valero, at the same time, those were the golden days of Teiken having developed foreigners into stardom.

Well not an interesting match but it's worth the watch because we didn't have any other fights for boxing back then sure Jack Catterall has the speed and George Linares doesn't have the speed anymore so for sure against a younger fighter you can see the speed difference and so Catterall has won on the output,

I also want to see George Linares take on an easy fight and then retire, because after showcasing what he can do against Jack Catterall for sure many fans will agree that this is due to his age, Father time is really getting into him,


But I guess fans are still wanting to see Jack Catterall because of his controversial fight with Josh Taylor back then. Fans wanted to see if Jack is for real. Although his fight is against a old and fading former champion in Jorge Linares, still a good gauge for Jack as Linares doesn't want to back down from his power left and chooses to fight fire with fire.

However, he is way past his prime already, and it's good that he will retire. Most likely he had a lot of money from his fights and save enough for his family. Specially you mentioned his humble beginnings and then become a world champion from Venezuela.

And if I'm not mistaken, one of the best boxer that came from Venezuela is Edwin Valero, it could have been great to see him fight Manny Pacquiao during their primes but Edwin was a enigma and it's sad how his career and life ended.

It is really time for him to hang his gloves actually after watching the fight you can see who is faster and who is at his limits it was not an equal match for sure as Jack Catterall got the edge on the speed, but for sure George Linares have taken the beating like a champ and we can say that Linares still can withstand a blow from Catterallor Jack Catterall doesn't really have the power to knockout his opponent,

We will be having 2 games for the NBA Today

Milwaukee Bucks VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 1.45 for the Bucks and 2.85 for the 76ers, for this game the Milwaukee Bucks don't have any injuries, while James Harden has a personal problem and is expected to be out until at least Oct 29, for sure Harden wants to be out of the 76ers so I really don't know if Harden will really return for the Philadelphia 76ers, now for this game, Damian Lillard will now be playing for the 76ers and he is making progress with the team's gameplay, for me Milwaukee Bucks is kind of interesting with Damian Lillard on the Roster so for this game I am going with the Milwaukee Bucks,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the Lakers and 2.75 for the Suns, for this game Cam Reddish is questionable if he can play for the Lakers, and Jarred Vanderbilt is Expected to be out until at least Oct 29, Jalen Hood-Schifino Expected to be out until at least Nov 4, can both can not play for the Lakers, while Devin Booker and Bradley Beal are both questionable if they can play for the Phoenix Suns, and Damion Lee is Expected to be out until at least Dec 31, and can not play against the Suns, for me I really don't trust the Lakers for now, but for this 1st regular game for this two team I am trusting the Milwaukee Bucks that landed in the 1st seed in the eastern conference and now that Damion Lee is playing for this team, so for sure I am going with the Milwaukee Bucks for this game,

not sure what Uncle Fester would do to them if they refused to fight even at short notice. but they are warriors of our time. Usman lasted while Volk didn't, they were saying he was dehydrated. money is money. gotta grab it.

seems like only Ngannou is not broke in MMA. he also has a fight this Saturday so speak no more of how bad the weekend could be without UFC, there's Fury vs Ngannou for all the sherdogs. although the fight may disappoint you in the end, at least the hype will also end once and for all.

i have not seen YuginKadoya's slip yet but i will just give mine in advance.


Well, Uncle Fester would surely be frustrated if they refused to fight but the amount of money is surely tantalizing for them to refuse basically they are just being practical even though Islam Makhachev is saying that Volk shows up because of the money I truly think it is only normal because he is feeding his family with his hard earned money and basically risking his life for that, while I will be a hypocrite if I would not tell that I will be fighting not because of money but for the glory of being champion for sure all just wants money at the end of the day,

Well, this is the UFC thread even though Francis Ngannou was once a UFC fighter they will be fighting in Boxing so I think it is proper to post it in this thread

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5370631.msg63042251#new

And because of that, I think I will read my bet slip as well because I almost forgot to bet in that fight as well so thanks for bringing this up here,


Do you mean this accident - Drooping Face After Slap Fighting Victory?
Yeah, that's terrible, it was brutal. I wouldn't damage my face for thousands, doesn't worth for me to turn into ugly man or get my face nerve damaged. By the way, I have to admit that this sport is very entertaining for me, I have a rush of adrenaline when I watch Vasily Kamotsky.
It's curious but Bare Knuckle fighting is getting popular too. What's next? Fight without mouthguard? Without groin guard? People are getting crazy, dude.

 Cheesy Yup! That one, his face or head was disfigured for sure he got a nerve or even damage internally but I really hope it is not that severe, actually just seeing his disfigured face brings me the chills, and thinking of watching the power slap would bring me the same sensation as having goosebumps,

Bare Knuckle fighting is still interesting because you will need to be very technical in this fight as well, but people think so much crazy stuff is just unimaginable like they are just crazy thinking something like this that they would likely want a riskier fighting sports than a non-risky ones,

It's no secret, Poole and green literally got into a punching match.  Klay steph and draymond are tight it just wasn't going to work.  And on top of it you can't pay everyone so Poole was the odd man out.  Golden state thrives on chemistry.  Fit in with those 3 or see your way to the door.

That is why I am excited to see a match between the Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards on what may happen I am really intrigued by what may happen between these two teams I know the chemistry of those 3 players is inseparable and sure even though Jordan Poole doesn't admit it I really think he got a knack for the Golden State Warriors taking him out of the team, and that punching incident also had a spark in his recent pull out on the team,

For those who believe that defense is still the winning method to be a champion. Here is a good read.

Ranking all 30 NBA defenses: Why the Grizzlies, Celtics and Nets stand out from the pack
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/ranking-all-30-nba-defenses-why-the-grizzlies-celtics-and-nets-stand-out-from-the-pack/
Here are the rankings made in the article.
1. Memphis Grizzlies - I don't doubt this. Jaren Jackson Jr. is one of the best rim protectors in the league. He averaged 3 blocks per game in the regular season and 2 blocks in the postseason. And it's not just that, he became a threat in the paint that players are hesitating to drive the ball in. That's a big impact to keep their opponents outside.

2. Boston Celtics - They lost Marcus Smart (the 2022 DPOY) but got Jrue Holiday who is also a defensive player. The Celtics will have a strong defense outside but might be weak on the inside. Against teams who focuses on centers like Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets, they will probably have a tough time.

3. Brooklyn Nets - Nic Claxton. 2.5 blocks per game in the regular season and 1.8 in the post-season. This guy had been protecting the rim for the Nets and he has the power to face the likes of Giannis and Embiid. Then, they have Bridges, Simmons, and Royce who are also known for their defensive talents.

4. Cleveland Cavaliers - Oh yeah, the twin tower of the Cavs. Allen and Mobley. They are already better defensively so I want to see more of Mobley shooting those perimeter shots on high percentage this season.

Good read! well, and great information indeed defense is something in the NBA that they are likely will pose a threat for sure but a good offense and also penetrate a good defense as well this is the game of basketball so surely there is a lot that could happen with the game for sure their coach can prepare their players in an offensive attack or maybe a defensive attack could be more threatening to other teams but it will surely depend on the teams gameplay,


They stay as intact as it can be. The performances are a base from how they established that chemistry. Everyone serves their purposes
while inside the court.

Much easy for the starters to play along with everyone they've got while doing the same system and executing the same plays. Look how both Jokic
and Jamal provides for the team.

And together with everyone, they show balance productions from both sides offense and defense.

I really love how a team can incorporate good chemistry for sure they are not only playing but also enjoying the game at the same time, for sure this is mostly the team goal to keep the chemistry of all players intact you can surely see it with the Golden State Warriors and watching them is really enjoyable, while the Denver Nuggets duo chemistry is sending good play for the team as well, you can surely say that if there are many player chemistry within the team you can surely have good results,

Enjoy.  Grin

I am not really a fan of Slap Power after seeing what happened to the face of one contender his face was deformed and I was shocked and at the same time scared for him if his face would not return to normal but for sure back then I was really curious with this kind of event and what is happening but yeah there is no need for technical striking for this one all the fighters need to do and become sturdy so this will surely test their durability or their chin in this slap contest,


Usman agreed to fight Chimaev because of the huge payout. This is natural because Usman has won in negotiations. This defeat was also beneficial for Usman because it could be assumed that Usman lost this fight due to lack of preparation. Chimaev has been training for months at the training camp, while Usman has only started preparing for the Training Camp in just 11 days. And one more thing, Usman has received a very large fee from the UFC (I don't know how much) to fill this fight.

For sure we all know why Usman accepts the Chimaev fight and yeah it is all about the money, Volk also confirms this aswell he is after the money, and because of his family, well Kamaru Usman did great with less preparation for the fight so for sure Kamaru Usman will have another fight that could be in his new Division and this is Khamzat Chimaev we are talking about,

-SNIP-



okay. not very updated on the NBA anymore but i take your word for it. i'm betting them all and i'm gonna blame you if we lose.  

i'm just trying to accumulate more coins this time and want to win as much as possible. since i followed your bets on UFC, i will also be trying my way on some other sports like basketball. i'm just kidding though lol no blaming. i know i could lose them all if all goes south.


Take it with a grain of salt dude, this is the opening game for this season, so for sure it is not going to be perfect this is basketball so we can never know what may happen with the games, but if you want you can surely blame me, but we got 1 out of 2 the Denver Nuggets made a great beginning game for sure the Lakers wants to take the lead but they can not do something about it as Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray again with that kind of tandem doesn't let the Lakers made a big score for sure, and the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns game end up in a close game, Devin Booker didn't allow the Warriors to win this game,



Results for my bet and prediction for the opening games for the NBA

Denver Nuggets VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 119 - 107 - WIN

Great game for the Denver Nuggets for sure the beginning of the game the Nuggets were destroying the Lakers until the Lakers eventually got the momentum in the 2nd quarter, but they had stepped into the field where they could not return anymore and so the Nuggets had exploited, them Nikola Jokic got a triple-double of 13 rebounds 11 assist and 29 points while Jamal Murray got 21 points winning the game against the Lakers,
 
Golden State Warriors VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 104 - 108 - LOST

Pretty much a close game for sure it was a back-and-forth lead until the Phoenix Suns eventually toppled the Warriors with Devin Booker's efforts they know that they can deliver a win against the Warriors, Jusuf Nurkic has a double-double of 14 rebounds and 14 points, Kevin Durant also has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 18 points and Devin Booker that have put all the pressure on the Golden States, got 32 points for this game, and so this is the 1st lost on this season,

Anyone else notice the Williams car had some crypto-related decals on their rear wing?

https://twitter.com/wabdoteth/status/1715182669103800498

WOW! NFT I bought a couple of those back then when it was still on hype and you can surely sell them at a higher price, for sure F1 is into advertising those as well, but if it will benefit the Crypto Community I am OK with it but I never thought that they are still selling those NFT's

More NFTs? I thought that was over already Smiley

Yup! I never thought that they are still some that were into these NFTs that I had dropped most of my NFTs that were free because they were now useless, maybe I haven't opened my wallet since then, but yeah I think I would look my NFT if they eventually have a value now,

I am really excited about the F1 2024 this is going to be another interesting race for sure and because the race will be televised for sure we will now take a glimpse of maybe make a bet for the following match on the F1 Academy

The Formula 1 Lenovo United States Grand Prix 2023 race result was really great and just like that Max Verstappen even though he lost the qualifying has shown that he can still do it and won all Sprint then the Race itself was a dominant win for sure for the Red Bull and Max Verstappen,


We still have the 2023 Mexico ongoing GP up ahead, for sure you will need to contain that excitement of yours for sure because of the recent situation and what could have happen in the future, but for sure the other teams is doing something to make those loose ends will meet,

I am also Eyeing the NBA games today these are the first 2 games for the regular season of the NBA here are my bets and predictions for games today

Denver Nuggets VS Los Angeles Lakers

The odds for this game are 1.47 for the Nuggets and 2.80 for the Lakers, the injuries for this game are Julian Strawther and Jay Huff both are questionable if they can play for the Denver Nuggets, and Vlatko Cancar can not play for the Nuggets and is expected to be out until at least Apr 1, while Jalen Hood-Schifino is Expected to be out until at least Nov 4 and Jarred Vanderbilt is Expected to be out until at least Oct 26, and both surely can not play for the Lakers, for this game surely the Denver Nuggets is now the champion and what they did in the finals against the Miami Heat for sure against the Los Angeles Lakers that doesn't have Jarred Vanderbilt this is a win for the Denver Nuggets,

Golden State Warriors VS Phoenix Suns

The Odds for this game are 1.88 for the Warriors and 1.97 for the Suns, the injuries for this game are Draymond Green is Expected to be out until at least Oct 27, and can not play for this game for the Warriors, while Devin Booker and Bradley Beal are both questionable if they can play for the Suns and Damion Lee is Expected to be out until at least Dec 31, and can not play for the Suns, for this game for sure the Warriors now that they got the point GOD, and now Kuminga is a different beast for sure the Golden State Warriors will win this,

The opportunity for Kamaru Usman to continue fighting hard in UFC matches has passed. Losing three consecutive UFC fights is not ideal for his professional record. All of these defeats simply indicate that he needs to take some time off before considering engaging in another UFC fight. Nevertheless, he is still the best Walter Weight Champion. That is a wonderful record for him to retire with than keep on forcing himself to fight


For me, after what he has showcased against Khamzat Chimaev I really think he will keep on doing this, and I really think he still has it in him even though Khamzat Chimaev really won that match, but getting into the fight on short notice I really think that he still got it in him, for sure even though he doesn't been winning lately for sure he can win in one of a money fight he can also be a gatekeeper for challengers going for a title fight with the champion,

Heavyweights next week, then another big fight the week after that. UFC 295.

Jon Jones versus Stipe Miocic at the main event Alex Pereira versus Jiri Prochazka on the co-main event. I got to get my hands on some money before that because I will be betting for Jones and I wish I could have the same result as I did in his last fight at UFC 285 against Ciryl Gane.
Also, I am rooting for Alex Pereira to win his match.

Here is the free fight of Jon Jones versus Alexander Gustafsson. UFC 165. Brings back a lot of memories.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en4hR34Bl8w
One of the great fights that I consider in the light heavyweight division as Gustafsson gave Jones a tough time and he might be the only one who hit Jones more in his UFC career. Height and reach are almost identical, the speed and agility, and their skills too, I think that is why they are a great match at that time. I cannot even imagine how Gustafsson survived all the elbows he took in round 4. He definitely was the toughest opponent for Jones, and then the takedown defense and the hard chin too.  Grin

We will be taking a break this week but next week will be great fun for sure with the Heavyweight fight for me this is Jailton Almeida, VS Derrick Lewis, I like Jailton Almeida for sure is an interesting fight for sure, while Gabriel Bonfim versus Nicolas Dalby is another great fight in my opinion, and another fight on that card event was Caio Borralho VS Abus Magomedov well for me Borralho is an interesting fighter for sure while Abus was exposed by Sean Strickland for sure but this is an interesting one aswell, 

Well, this fight should be a Curtis Blaydes VS Jailton Almeida fight but because of Blaydes's Ankle Injury Derrick Lewis was the change fighter for sure and Caio Borralho vs. Nursulton Ruziboev but because of Ruziboev Withdrew from the fight and so Abus Magomedov was the change fighter, Daniel Santos VS Daniel Marcos but because of Santos Withdrawal and changed with Victor Hugo, Eduarda Moura vs. So Yul Kim with Kim Withdrawing on the fight and Montserrat Conejo Ruiz was the change fighter,

Here is Haney with Freddie Roach.
https://x.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1715379595057201327?s=20

I am more amazed that Coach Roach still has the strength to take all those punches at his age. Superb!

For sure Freddie Roach still has it in him to take those punches but for me, Freddie Roach lacks footwork and movement for sure but still, Davin Haney respects him so much and this is really a great scene to see if you are a fan of Freddie Roach,

Jack Catterall vs Jorge Linares, no knockdown happen, Jack did his best to score but Linares has avoided that knockout. So it's pretty much a chess game all throughout but Jack is clearly winning on points as his left hand always finds it's target.

So the score is all in favour of Catterall: 117-111, and 116-112.

We were expecting that Josh Taylor will give Catterall his chance for a rematch as a domestic rival. But we all know that Taylor chooses to fight Teo Lopez and he was dominated and lost his belt. So there's no more hype of a Catterall and Taylor rematch.

Here are the highlight of the fight, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDt17FsjfW4

Good Assessment After watching the fight sure both are cautious and for sure they both really know what the other fighter can do mistake is not really an option for this fight for me it was a close fight but yeah Jack Catterall has some faints that he can surely utilize and because of his speed he has more output and was really moving so much, and for sure he is conditioning Linares is moving forward and then he would surely go and make that clean shot, It was an interesting fight for sure,
