Regardless, I am curious what's next to the winner. When the coward Tank Davis was given a free belt, I doubt there will be another undisputed champion in this division soon. Shakur is the best fighter in this division but because of his boring and unmarketable style, the other champions will have more reasons to just duck him.
It's in house money for Top Rank, I think Shakur is going to fight the winner of this fight. Tank will be well protected and I don't think they are ready to let him face either Loma or Shakur this year. That would be nice to see Loma ( a possible winner ) vs Shakur fight. it's the technical fighter vs a slippery fighter. It's not new to Loma since he had already fought Haney which I believe have a similar style like Shakur but Shakur is much shorter than Haney, so probably that will give Loma an advantage to that. We don't have to worry about the possible revenue of this fight since alhough Shakur is boring, but Loma will make it interesting. It is not only Shakur is shorter than Haney. Do not underestimate that in reality, Devin Haney is very much bigger than expected. His move to super lightweight might be thought as something similar to moving up to a heavier weight division. However, it should be something similar to moving to a weight division with his correct height and size hehehe. Some fans speculated that Prograis might win because he belonged in the higher weight division but in the ring it was very clear that the much bigger boxer was Devin Haney. He might also find a home on welterweight with in 5 years. Obviously, there are no boxers that can stay in one division, specially for those who have started in lower weight class. We have seen a lot of legendary and not so great boxers going up in weight. So I'm seeing both Shakur and Tank Davis could go up in weight, but it has to do with the timing. Maybe when some of the 140 lbs champions goes to welterweight like Teo and Haney maybe these two will have to jump. Tank Davis for me will have to still proved himself in this 135 lbs. He has started now, Frank Martin in his next fight. But his true test will be Shakur and Loma. And I think he can beat both of this fighters. No more paper or free belt for Tank, he should earn it and fight the best and clean up this division. |

What started as a rumor is now being confirmed by ESPN. Canelo is leaving PBC. Canelo was insisting on fighting Jermall Charlo but PBC wanted a better quality opponent. It is likely Canelo will go back to DAZN, where he will be safe from Benavidez and fight softer opposition like Munguia and Berlanga.
Benavidez Sr as well said that they were offered to fight Canelo, but at a bare minimum of $5 million. And he says that maybe they are just testing them to see if they are going to request for more money. So they said "Yes", to it, but unfortunately, the camp of Canelo didn't return back so it's obviously it's a bait. And as we have been speculating as well, it's clearly a duck from the camp of Canelo not to fight Benavidez, again and again as stories are coming out. Now, with DAZN, easy fight for Canelo against this two and then the money will be there, less risk better reward. |

Let me just comment of the UI and the feel of the game though I did try it with free money, as a regular slot player:
a. seems the design is old school and with that, I was not attracted to it.
b. maybe it is just me but it's lagging as some time
In any case, good luck in trying to compete will live gaming like Evolution's Roulette or any other theme roulette design.

The WBC president uncle Mauricio has also appeared to change his mind on David Benavidez's next opponent. WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said this Thursday through his social networks that David Benavidez's next opponent will not be Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez as had been said in recent hours, and that the interim light heavyweight championship will be disputed by the American fighter of Mexican descent and the Ukrainian Oleksandr Gvozdyk.Source https://www.marca.com/en/boxing/2024/02/23/65d896bdca47411a698b45b4.htmlThey are having a hard time keeping their story straight. Whatever comes out of the mouth of Sulaiman is likely just damage control. They don’t want to upset Canelo because they don’t want to lose their percentage of his purse. They will most likely continue to allow Canelo to evade Benavidez for as long as he pleases. LOL, but it could be true, maybe the Sulaiman is going in public right now, sort of to like they are doing their job and as it giving Canelo ultimatum to fight Benavidez. But I think they are just lying here, Canelo will still fight whoever they like despite what the WBC is saying to us. I don’t believe the $55 million offer was real. It’s just something that Lewkowicz put out there to get some publicity for Benavidez’ next fight. Sampson’s word isn’t very credible and he’s defaulted on purse bids before so where would he even get that kind of money to offer Canelo. PBC isn’t getting much of a budget from Amazon if all their cards are going on PPV, so Haymon can’t make those kind of guarantees either. It would be more money than what Canelo made against GGG, Canelo vs. Benavidez isn’t close to that magnitude.
That's big money already and if it is true, by now Canelo could have taken that offer. So more likely it could be good money for Canelo but not close to what Lewkowicz. And we still have to wait though, but I don't see Canelo vs Benavidez. They will have separate opponent for this year and I don't think they will fight in 2024. |

We just had a small correction, from $52,000 to $51,000 and it could still continue to dip. But I think the sentiments of the market is still bullish and as we have a week before the end of this month, speculations are still open. But for me, might be difficult to see $60,000 at least for this month. We have exhausted already or at least the bulls for now and so we might see some sideways for the last week but above the $50,000 price range.
Most important thing is that the market is bullish as we are approaching the block halvening. And there are no more black swan events in the horizon. So everything looks perfect moving forward to the most important event and the catalyst for the bull run that we all have been waiting.

Loma cannot be too complacent about not getting a knockout win in Kambosos' country. Just to ensure a victory, he needs to KO him; otherwise, he might be surprised that he is very confident in the ring, thinking he'll win comfortably, but the judges saw it differently.  People will never forget what they did to Pacman, and I hope it will not happen to Loma here since Kambosos has a similar style to Horn, who just loves to attack and throw a lot of punches. If judges count that and he survives the 12 rounds, unexpected things could happen. I'm pretty sure Loma's camp is well aware of that, so it's expected that their game plan is always ready to secure a clear victory. Now, if I could ask, what would be next for Kambosos if he loses this fight? Would he rather retire or continue fighting against non-top boxers? To be fair, there's not one high profile robbery fight in years in Australia after the Horn vs Pacquiao fight. Maybe they know that it did bring bad stigma to them. So now they are very careful of the fights being held that involved Australian. They still have Tim Tszyu as a champion and he had fights in Australia that hasn't been home cook, although it's either a stoppage win for Tim or a knockout victory. But I will do agree that Loma shouldn't be self-assured here, in the Haney fight for me might have slow down in the championship rounds that's why Haney was able to steal the win in that fight. So he shouldn't do it here, he needs to show he has still the killer instinct to finished and knock his opponent out. |

Earlier today, WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman announced that David Benavidez will be facing former light heavyweight champion Olexandr “The Nail” Gvozdyk for the interim championship. Artur Beterbiev is still the real WBC champion and currently active. It seems like they are only creating this belt for Benavidez as a way to save face for not being able to enforce his mandatory status against Canelo, who is very obviously avoiding Benavidez. Gvozdyk is a fighter with an excellent record. His only loss has come against Artur Beterbiev. After the loss, he took a 3 year break from the sport and came back last year. He is now 36 years old and his comeback fights were against mediocre competition. I think these factors will make Benavidez the favorite in this fight. https://twitter.com/wbcmoro/status/1760770531215691983Good, I mentioned it here first. This is a good decision by the camp of Benavidez. And it clearly shows that Canelo is ducking Benavidez and his next fight will be against Charlo based on this development. Not sure why Canelo doesn't want to give Benavidez a fight but it's obvious he might be thinking that David can beat him. Age is going to be a big factor for Gvozdyk. Benavidez is young and hungry and I wouldn't be surprised if David is going to knock out Olexandr. This fight will be in June and if everything works out for Benavidez, he will be fighting the winner of then Bivol vs Beterbiev. So big fights lining up till the end of the year for us. |

What's everyone call on Benavidez going up in the Light Heavy Weight division because he can't get a fight with Canelo. It was reported that he will be facing Oleksandr Gvozdyk in June for the WBC ‘interim’ belt and WBC mandatory position.
And it means that the winner of this fight will likely face Benavidez, assuming he wins against Gvozdyk.
This could also fuel and motivate both Beterbiev and Bivol as it will also be a big money fight to go against Benavidez. Of course the real winner here is us, boxing fans. So it's very exciting to see if this is going to happen or things might come up.
I wonder how the rising David Benavidez would end up fighting Olexandr Gvozdyk. Well, if this is the only way for him to face either Bivol or Beterbiev, and if Canelo is this fearful of him, then so be it. But it seems the fight is too lop-sided. Oleksandr Gvozdyk is rated as high as 2nd in the 175 lbs. So it's going to be a big test for Benavidez if the news is true that he is moving up in the Light Heavyweight. Maybe he knows that he is not going to get the Canelo sweepstakes and so he had to make the adjustments. I'm not taking anything from Gvozdyk but I doubt he is his old self. Yeah, he probably had shaken off much of his ring rust after more than 3 years of inactivity since he also had 3 fights last year alone, but he wasn't really facing top caliber fighters. Obando even had more defeats than wins. And, in boxing, age matters.
Anyway, this is just the alternative in case Canelo doesn't stop running from Benavidez despite a juicy offer. But possibilities are still open. In the meantime, I think the technicality of Bivol will keep him safe from Beterbiev's power and he will survive and win by UD.
Gvozdyk could be the next in line and could face the winner here. But with Benavidez entering the picture, it's good that this is going to be some sort of elimination fight between the two and winner getting the champion and for all the belts in the line. |

Right, everything is set now.
And good luck to those who bet already for Jerwin, all we have to do is wait for the next tomorrow night. Just remember though that this is not like in the US wherein the fight is held during weekends.
So for boxing fans around the world, just check the time zone in Japan so that we can watch it live. And as usual, we will have our friendly facebook and see who will share this fight for us that didn't buy the PPV.

^^ What if Canelo wants Charlo for the same $35 million? Will PBC give in to his demand or would push for a Munguia fight. And obviously $35 million guaranteed is big money, but perhaps Canelo is not satisfied and still ask for more money.
And it just shows that Canelo is calling the shot, PBC could have go to let Canelo be paid by that huge amount and fight Jaime Munguia. No second options for him. That money is already huge, what more can Canelo ask for? And it's a fight that he will be likely the favorite, so it's a win-win for him. As for Munguia, he could be getting his biggest paycheck and so I think they will sign the contract right away if there will be an offer from Canelo and PBC. However, isn't it too late? We just have 1 week before the start of March, and usually this boxers need 8-12 weeks for training and promotion. So the everything is still on the side of Canelo here, May 5 or at least along that week he usually fights as it is a Mexican day and so he needs to make the decision ASAP.
Time is running out, but I do believed that Canelo is already back in the game around February and could have been doing like training in the mitts to keep himself in shape and not just go and start training once they sign the contract as to who he is going to fight next. |

And we have a venue, I also thought that this will be in Las Vegas, but it's not, the fight is going to take place in Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. However, on Wednesday night, Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy promotions - who represent Garcia and so are staging the fight - announced that the Haney clash will instead take place in New York.
The 19,000 capacity Barclays Center, home to the Brooklyn Nets, will host the event. https://talksport.com/sport/1760503/surprise-venue-devin-haney-ryan-garcia-gervonta-davis-deleted/Still a good venue and the sitting capacity is big and I wouldn't be surprised if this fight is sold out already and then the PPV numbers as well. Are we going to see a million PPV buys here? or least get close to the Tank Davis vs Ryan Garcia with 1.1-1.2 million buys and if I'm not mistaken, the biggest fight last year, even bigger than Canelo fight or Crawford vs Spence. |

^^ Just typical for a promoter to say this kind of statement and it's either will backfire on them as Francis or someone from his camp reads it, might motivate them to knock Joshua out. Or AJ is really in good shape for this fight and will show it here.
We are entering the last week of February, and we all know that how time flies.
Francis Ngannou is still 4:1 underdog.

 I advise everyone to see this video, I'm not related to this person, but I can relate to his stories and the gambling addiction that most of us could have been suffering for years. This is the second video that I have been watching and they say the same things. Not just money they lose, but time and relationship. The other video that I saw that he was not even present with the delivery of his first and second kid, he was done gambling and trying to make money for the hospital bills but it turns out that he losses in both time. Perhaps you have seen other videos as well and maybe share it here. |

Thanks for the link. So maybe it's not enough to call it "official" yet, but since Pacquiao and RIZIN's Chief Exec have confirmed it, and since Mayweather is not denying it, it's fair to assume the fight is at least pre-agreed and probably in a stage of contract negotiations. Or maybe the contract is already signed but they're just waiting to officially announce it closer to the date so the hype doesn't die out before the fight. Both are willing to fight so it's only down to agreeing on the money. And I think RIZIN has so much influence on this two boxers that maybe we can say that 90% this fight could be done in the future. Mayweather will still be the A-side here, 60-40 split is not that bad for Pacquiao. This is where I have great disdain for the boxing world. No longer are we in the "golden era" for boxing where we had all these great heavyweights like Tyson, Lewis, etc, but you had some solid mid to light weight fighters as well. Then of course boxing fell off a cliff for quite some time. Pac vs Mayweather should have happened the first time long ago when the sport needed it. I absolutely despite Mayweather as he legitimately a horrible human being. Even though its a day late and a dollar short I'll be watching and rooting for Pacman to destroy Mayweather. Maybe if he hits him hard enough he'll be able to read all of a sudden.
I definitely agree, but we can't compare era's. Same with other sports as well, in NBA we love Michael Jordan, but now it's totally different ball game. I've read that majority didn't like what they see in the All Star. Going back to this topic, it will be good if the fight is happening at the end of the year. It will be huge for boxing fans even if this is just a exhibition match. Enough for us to see again Mayweather and Pacquiao promoting this fight and the hype on it. |

I had a friend who use to play the gambling only when he consumed drugs,Sometimes he use yo win the money.But most of the time he loss the funds,when we have a chat on the weekend we shared our experiences.The reason of the loss in the drug consumption is the gambler will play the game without any hesitation to take risk.The gambling is the risky game,the gamblers who take huge risk some times make the huge multiple of betting dollars.But the risk doesn’t make him win,because the meaning of the risk is the possibility of losing and winning.Every month we meet each other,the odds between us is gambling.
I think that is the basic of gambling, we take risk and we predicted the outcome or result and see if it is to our advantage. So your friend can either win or lose. However, when he consumed drugs and gamble, he might do YOLO and play with bigger risk. My friend also added when he had huge winning in the night games without drugs,he had an habit of playing the gambling at the earning morning after wake up.It doesn’t mean an addiction,it was his dedication towards the game.But the sad part is he will loss sometimes if he wake up in the few hours sleep.When he had shared this I had advice him not to do the gambling in both in drugs or early morning games.Because we should not play the game at the early morning,because we are beginning the day.If the game give the loss in the early morning,the entire day will goes in a negative vibe.The new gamblers should take it as the lesson to avoid loss in gambling.
And that is the thing, maybe for some of us, when we win, we just simply stop. But for friend for sure will buy more drugs with the money that he had won. So there is no winning, unfortunately. Maybe it's applicable to your friend as per your advise not to play in the morning. But there are certain cases that some of us are playing in the early morning just like in my case. Anyhow, good luck to your friend and hope that he will realized that was his doing and stop taking drugs. |

What's the essence of all the hustle and bustle and learning and reading and keeping all the sleepless night? Isn't it all about money?
What if I don't want to go through all these process, don't care if I'm a graduate or not or if I'm good at speaking good English or not buth I'm just focused on how to make the money and end up making the money, won't the end justify the means?
I sometimes feel that some of these ideal process that has been accepted by the majority of the people in the society as a part to be taken to greatness is too complex. I mean, we can just learn how to read and write and focus on how to make money. Those who want to become engineers can choose to do so but those that don't want to pass through those route shouldn't be seen as less of a person because at the end of the day, it's mostly all about money.
But not all can make a lot of money if you are not a graduate or at least have a decent education? Those who succeeded are the 1% of the society. I do agree though that in this lifetime, we need money, we need it to survived, not just for ourselves, but for our families as well. So it's not that complex, it's just a matter on how you are going to make money. Find a good job after graduation? You inherit riches from your parents? you are that 1% of the society and become successful? Life is unfair, but you have to make the most out of it. |

Yes sir, this is what we fans wanted, let's assumed that Loma win against George, then Shakur will be a great fight to see next. I think Shakur also wanted to test his skills against Loma and so most likely he will be very interested. And as said previously, Top Rank has a lot of good fighters in the 135 lbs and they can just fight each other and the winner will be Bob Arum. Shakur though says that he is retired, but I don't think that is real. Maybe he is just waiting for good fighters to come, but one opinion against Shakur is that he is boring, just like in his last fight wherein he just avoided Edwin delos Santos. |

Very nice, you give me some idea on where to place my bets here as I want Ancajas to win or shall I say I think he can beat Takuma Inoue here. I think the round range 4-6 might be suited for Ancajas. I mean he has power in both hands, so if he can manage to touch Inoue in rounds 1-3, then he might be soften in the next coming rounds and could be taken out by 4-6. Or if we go by KO, which is still a great pick, regardless of what rounds he got that, it's considered a upset and a huge win for those who support Jerwin to become a world champion. Just 3 days before the fight, it's more of a mental game from now. |
