He can get another chance. He shouldn't have gone to Taiwan imo.
You can't blame him; he saw an opportunity overseas, so he grabbed that opportunity. However, with the recent news that his salary will be cut a bit, I guess he might be interested in playing with the NBA again. Let's hope that there's a team that would pick him up.

He is already 37 years old, not young anymore, but he can still play. With his experience and confidence, I'm sure he will be a big help. All we can do now is wait for the developments. Let's follow Howard's journey; who knows, he might end up with the Lakers again.

Yeah, since there's no team offers him a service, so there's no other option but to play overseas, I think he still has that capability as he can
still jump high and give that hassle to help as a good defender.

If a team will give him that opportunity to play back and let him provide some minutes to a player that will need some rest.

Like what you said, we never know if there's still a team that will consider him and will let him play and showcase the help
that he can still provide.

$600 is quite good enough for investments but if I were you OP I will choose those trusted and known coins which can bring you more profit in the long term and once of the biggest coin in  this world is BITCOIN which is good enough if you have this cause we all know that once it will rise then the price will shocked you. So it's better to have this coin nowadays. And also there are many trusted enough out there like, BInance, Ethereum and many more coins just take a look in to the internet and you will get some idea.
if you choose an altcoin to invest, then I would suggest ethereum and binance for the first, and the rest leave a little capital to seek luck in trending coins so that we can maximize profits in the future, but if we are not lucky then we only lose some small capital and it doesn't mean much, for example if it is invested in sui, which is currently still a lot of discussion about it so we can choose it. and of course the right time to sell must be considered, where the bullish season is the right choice to sell

That's valid if you are unsure but you still want to try some luck with the coin that you think will progress, throwing some amount
to that coin will allow you to see if you will earn or you will lose.

Unlike with ETH and BNB which expectedly to pump hard when the market start to bull season, the chance is really good in terms of solid project.

Though it's still up to how you do your research and how you follow the developments of that certain asset.

Go for the beat alternative, that's one way of winning. Consistency matters alot in the space, we struggle to sort out our bills, the more reason we indulge in gambling. Making $100 bucks from online casino is possible, gamblers even make more than that daily. It usually becomes a daily routine when one keeps gambling without the required usage. I've set our daily targets in gambling, but honestly speaking, not everyday I get my paycheck from gambling, because there's are presence of losses counted, just making sure my profits exceeds the number of losses I have.
Making $100 from an online casino is possible, but it is not easy. I didn't want to try it because I would use over $100 to make $100, and that's not easy for me to get either. There would probably be more losses for me to make that $100, so I better gamble moderately and not chase that $100. In addition, making money from gambling can make a person addicted to gambling in a short time because all he has in mind is to make money without considering the risks that can be accepted. But after all, there must be people who want to try it to see how good his gambling skills are or how lucky he is. And if he hasn't had any luck or hasn't been able to make money from gambling, maybe he'll just keep trying.

Winning $100 is possible indeed, but doing it in an everyday session that's something not guaranteed.

You can lose a lot before you realized that it's not a good venue to make money. Yes, it's not impossible to win sometimes, but
making it every day there's always a big risk from. Gambling business was created to make or generate money. They will
not allow gamblers to make them a cash-cow.

Checking in for the season I could say that Lakers are not as bad as people think they are, they are just injured a lot. Now I know that's not the story of the season so far, but they are my wildcard for the ring and let me explain why.

They have Reaves that is getting better every season, Russel that is looking to take the PG spot and be good, Rui that is a great bench guy who defends very well, Vanderbilt as a great defensive guy as well, Lebron and AD is still there and being an all-star level amazing people, those names alone looks like they are actually pretty good team. I know that it sounds like they are not going to be all that great to some people, but I feel like they could actually be pretty good team for sure.
In fairness with Lakers, they don't have a look as strong as the others but they've got probably a balance there although with a leadership of course by LBJ.

But as the other teams are bumping their rosters, I don't know what's the plan of Lakers ahead of the season. Maybe they'll just play it like last time as they weren't expected to what they've landed there and still can be said a good job to them.

Reaves no doubt, he's like a star in the making.

I think that same look will give them an advantage because they are not being targeted in the upcoming season specially that teams now are likely taking Nuggets as their biggest competitor and that will certainly give them some space to adjust and surprise the other teams that they will face.

But still, an adjustment is much needed on their play because if they will not change something and improve what they did last season, they will be anticipated by the other teams in the league and we sure know that the Lakers doesn't want that to happen mainly now that they are quite confident in their current roster. And about Reaves, dude has been getting some improvements and been working out his play in the summer, it will be interesting how will he give the team some help this time because in some scenarios, he will be in the main line-up or the Lakers sixth man.

With the way LeBron is playing, I think ether Reaves or D'Lo will have more shooting attempts as the main alpha will serve
as a good decoy to create open space for his teammates.

They already have that good chemistry and with a healthy core, the team can develop much solid and competitive lineup.

There's always an improvement that we will notice once the season begins, most of the super teams will be expected
to perform well, especially those who came up from the big time trades. They are expected to be more competitive.

They are locked into Lebron and AD and both are older and on the downward trajectory of theor careers.
This is so true. It cannot get better. I don't understand what Lakers are doing and what are they thinking for the next 2-3 years.
It's simple, they've got their own terms and still trust the two. That's why even if they're older, they're putting a bet on that roster and won't change anytime soon or have them traded. As long as they can still see the value in them, they'll continue to work with them until these two are the ones to demand a trade. We do understand that the value of these two are not that at its peak anymore and there are better options. But, that's what Lakers are for, they're impressed with what just happened on the last season when they're actually in the deepest and still managed to the play-in/playoffs.
Let's think this way: if the Lakers had beaten the Nuggets in the WCF, they would certainly have won the championship. So, probably what the management is thinking is that there's still a chance for both AD and LeBron to win a championship. The roster is still complete, at least with the starters, and they have added more depth, so it's expected to see this team improve next season.

Personally, I don't find any problem with retaining these two. Besides, LeBron is nearing retirement, so they just want to honor what he has done with the Lakers before his retirement. Having LeBron on the team also makes the Lakers more popular, which will result in bigger ticket sales and more views.

I follow that sentiment from the last statement, Lakers is known for creating good money, it's business and having LeBron even
if he's no longer at his prime will still bring money to the franchise.

Though on a competitive level, the team still have that shot as per my opinion as long as Davis is healthy, and LeBron will facilitate
in passing the ball to the open man.

Waiting for the upcoming season to see how teams and players will showcase their competitiveness.

Not at all, even how good you are. There are still time that you will lose, even how good you think your research and assessment
if luck will not be on your side, a heavy underdog can still win the game/fight.

Possibility wise, small or just like you mentioned next to impossible, though there's experienced gamblers who can
play with their bankroll and have better winning sessions than losing attempts.

Still not a guarantee that they will win in a daily manner.

Yeah, you're right.

You can make your odds a bit better though, but still it's largely a bet that the casino will most probably win in the end.

It's kinda like "privilege information" trading, basically if you somehow managed to get an advantage then it's probably illegal  Grin

Hahaha, something that will exploit the house? Hopefully, you can manage to suck something in a much longer time frame hahaha..
But kidding aside, it's really tough if someone who can win more than lose.

You have to balance that mindset but then again, moving back to the topic, making $100 out from your $2000 bankroll in a daily manner,

Something that will risk huge amounts of money when emotions are unable to control and luck is not helping you with your
gambling session.

In the case of Ben thought it was different, he suffered it when everything went sour, with the Sixers and himself because Ben was a different player in that season. He doesn't want to shoot and then perhaps there is already tension between him the coach and the players themselves.

As compare to Rubio, he was injured that season, so he never see some playing time. Perhaps he just wanted to gave away from the limelight of FIBA as he started very young then and chooses to stay and perhaps focus on his comeback in the NBA.
I agree that the two are different cases. Ben's situation is probably closer to what happened with Markelle Fultz. Remember him? The former no. 1 pick that also became a laughing stock due to his poor shooting and that awkward free throw release. Both suffered the "yips" but Fultz seems to have overcome that unlike Simmons.

Yup, two different situations as Simmons' pride eats his mindset against his former team while Rubio suffers from an injury. Situation
that he can't control, unlike with Simmon, it's his pride why he doesn't want to play.

Hopefully Rubio will take time to think deep if he will also file his leave when the new season starts, or maybe it's just all for FIBA and
his main goal is to focus coming back to NBA.

Looking forward to hear some updates with his next journey, for now, let's leave him with his way of curing his mental concern.

It will be much better for him if he cannot hear any news involving his situation and name because that will not help him in his case as there will be a chance that he will bump into an article that is saying nonsense about him and his career, just a click bait so that they can ride the situation while Rubio's case is still hot.

But then again, that will certainly not help him as instead of feeling comfortable that he got some support from his fans and from the basketball community, rather he will feel that he is doubted by many because of that certain article he bumped into.

The bad side of socmed, while it's hot, they will use it to gained attentions, even there's nothing about the content, simply a clickbait
but people will tend to get some interest.

Like what you said, it's not going to be helpful for Rubio knowing his condition it might affect him and cause additional concern.

Let's hope for the best. Whatever decision he takes as long as it will help him to cope with his current situation.
548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: August 08, 2023, 08:22:31 AM
It cannot help them with winning big prizes because nobody can guarantee that but an experienced gamblers does have a little bit of advantage specially if they know how exactly the game works and makes their chances of losing to minimal because of that fact that experience comes with losses in the process and so they know which road is bumpy and which is not. Still luck will play a major role to one's bet because without that, you can't be sure how would your activity will end.
Experience is useful because a gambler who has it will know he shouldn't disrespect his emotional and financial limits. He will always play with a previously determined budget, and once it's gone, he will simply leave the casino or close the website, until he acquire a new budget for that purpose. It really doesn't improve the chances of winning or maximizing profits in a gambling session, but we have to be thankful that to prevent further losses is already a powerful pros in being an experienced gambler.

If you can achieve that then it's good for you, I see your point, allocate certain budget and not to exceed is a good sign
that you are capable of controlling your emotions.

And if you continue doing that and you manage to start making some good run with your gambling session and also manage to control yourself
making a stop.

The chance not just to avoid making big losses but also to sometimes making decent money out from gambling.

Si Luis Buenaventura ay isa sa aking paborito dahil sa mga magagandang balita na ibinabahagi niya sa social medias. May mga nakita rin ako sa social media na ang ating Presidente ay isa rin tumatangkilik sa crypto na masasabi natin mas mataas pa sa ibang influencer pero ganun pa man ay hindi parin natin alam kung hanggang saan katatag ang paniniwala niya dito.
Si BBM nasa crypto din? Parang ngayon ko lang yan narinig.


Kahit ako hindi makapaniwala pero ng nakita ko ay parang namangha ako. Last year ko nakita yun at kung gusto mo panoorin ay nilagay ko ang link sa ibaba at ikaw na lang ang humusga kung maganda ba yung iniendorso niya.Pero para sakin mas magiging pabor ito para sa atin mga gumagamit ng cryptocurrencies. Kung isearch mo about BBM on cryptocurrencies sa youtube ay maraming lalabas dito na result.

Nabanggit niya yung regulation pero at least may knowledge siya at open siya tungkol sa kung anong puwedeng maging stand ng bansa natin tungkol dito. Mabuti na share mo yan at parang thoughts niya lang yan sa crypto at nabanggit niya din na hindi lang yan fad. Sa mga new projects posibleng fad lang pero bitcoin hindi.
Kaya nga if ituloy niya yun sana ay may mabuting epekto sa bansa para naman umunlad tayo kahit papaano. Bigyan niya sana ng liwanag yung mga hindi naniniwala nito. Sana nga lang hindi isang fad , alam naman natin na basta marcos may iisang salita kaya parang posibleng maging bitcoin din ito.

Yung may idea lang sya sa crypto medyo magandang balita na yun pero syempre iba pa rin kung paano nya idedeliver yun sa alam
naman natin na sa bansa na to' madaming nag aalangan pagdating sa crypto.

Sa lahat ng mga bagay na nagiging factor para umiwas yung mga posible sanang investor, pero syempre iba yung dating pag namumuno na ng
bansa ang maglalabas ng info patungkol dito,.

Sana nga lang maging maganda yung impact kung totoo nga na may alam si PBBM or mas malalim ang alam nya patungkol sa crypto.
550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 07, 2023, 09:44:49 PM

The longer i see Jake Paul fight, the more I start to believe that he is actually trying to become a genuine fighter. I heard that he is doing hard work, and i also heard that he is definitely trying to be a great boxer. The reason why i did not respect him was because he was fighting retired guys.  But this was a good fight, i was a little surprised to see the fight, go like this to be honest, but it is what it is.

I think to get the respect of people, Jake Paul needs to do more. He’s not going to get peoples respect if he just fights against old guys.

I think someone asked Andrew Tate about fighting Mike Tyson. He said it perfectly. Basically he said that Mike Tyson is old right now.  And it is not going to be morally right for a 36-year-old Andrew Tate, who was a four times kickboxing champion by the way, fight against old Mike Tyson.

in gaining more respect he needs to step up to the game well in his recent fight with Nate Diaz he announced that he now wants to challenge Nate into an MMA fight which I think is another leap toward becoming a great fighter, which is for me his going to regret later on,

For me I want him to stick with boxing if he wants some respect he needs to fight on terms and with boxing with the same level as his, well before jumping up a notch,

If in case a rematch between them will happen in the octagon, it will surely be a regret that will put a huge embarrassment to his name and to his little branding. He should know his chance because those chances are exactly the same when Nate or any MMA fighter that he fought in the past step foot in the boxing ring, or worse even lower than that boxing not only Nate can finish the fight much easier, in that sport, Jake Paul doesn't have what it takes to fight in the cage.
And if all of this is about him gaining a respect, then he is certainly seeking in the wrong place.

Or maybe for gaining attention that's why he's looking for this venue but same with how you see it, if Jake Paul will seriously
take this fight inside the cage the advantage will be on the side of Nate.

Knowing him as a fighter who really understand how things work inside the cage, it's very different scene for Paul.

Let's wait and see if there's reality from this upcoming rematch, if both will agree to set it inside the cage.

With this news, it will open up an opportunity for Casimero to fight Inoue. I'm sure the former would be willing to negotiate, even if he gets a smaller share, as long as he can prove to the world that he could really beat Inoue. In the first place, Marlon Tapales wasn't in the conversation years back; it was always Casimero who

Hope this will be considered despite the fact that Casimero is currently not in the top rankings and might not even get a chance to be a contender right away for a championship belt. But maybe there's room for any chances and be considered, being him as a former champion in the 118 lbs. In the first place though, there is unfinished business between him and Inoue but the pandemic spoiled it. They can consider continuing that right now.

Don't mind the share of the pie and Casimero can just accept whatever the offer is as long as obviously, is not that totally a joke offer.

Legacy > Money for now on Casimero as the goal is to have him exchange fist with Inoue to now settle the scores. Referring to the Tapales camp, I can't comment much on the possible cancellation by them because the figures are not mentioned on how much share they will get on the pie. "No offense" but Tapales camp also knows that even as a champion, they also think that Inoue is too much for their guy and they like to demand more money instead of building a legacy. They didn't realize that more money will come to them if their guy will beat Inoue. Every boxer always wants to be in an unification fight.

I can agree that if Inoue's camp will give that shot to Casimero even in a much lesser shared offer, Casimero's camp will bite it,
an open opportunity will always give them a chance to have that taste of Inoue's power.

On the side of Tapales, maybe they know and feel that he's no match with Inoue, so making money is what they are aiming for
and not any legacy. He's in front when Inoue's snatch the belt from Fulton, and with any comparison, Inoue has a higher edge
against him.

But one will have a high chance of winning if he just knows the sports and knows the teams at play. Every sports anyway have rankings and the only reason you will lose is if there is an upset. You may even foresee an upset if a high-value team member is not playing or is injured. Updates like these are pretty much known to a sports fan and being a sports fan pays.

It doesn't guarantee $100/day but as long as there are games on bookies, I think there is an opportunity to make money for him.

Yeah, sports betting is a bit different in the sense that you might end up having more or better information about one specific match or team than the casino, so their odds might not be as bad for you in particular, and you could take advantage of that.

But yeah, as you mentioned, this would be a case by case thing, so not at all a daily event.

Not at all, even how good you are. There are still time that you will lose, even how good you think your research and assessment

Ricky Rubio announced his stepping out from professional activity to take care of his mental health. So, the World Cup is coming and he'll be out there for sure.

Does this means that it's possible that he's also going to be out of NBA and won't play for the Cavs when the regular season starts if he's not yet okay?


Nah, I don't think he'll give up his NBA career, it's a bit early for the 2019 FIBA MVP to give up this early. I mean that's his bread and butter right there and his passion as well. If he thought skipping the FIBA world cup could bring goodness to his career, pretty much everyone in the same shoe will do the same. It's also good for his mental health that the Spanish team respected his decision.
He should be more ready in the coming season so he won't lose but improve his value, otherwise he's going to disappear unnoticeably like the other role players in the NBA, since he's actually close to it after recovering from an injury he was struggling real hard when he have rejoined his team in the middle of the season.

Ricky Rubio is still young at 32 years old, (although I thought that he is a bit older). It's good that we here sports athletes citing mental health as a issues and it's concerning.

However, I also do agree that he won't simply retire because of that reasons, maybe he just nee to skip the World Cup and the pressures of playing for his country again. And he is coming from injury too and perhaps this contributed to his having a mental breakdown. Nevertheless, if he is still as competitive as he is, then he will continue to play in the NBA.
Mental health issue is really important to take care and good for him to rest for a while since he's playing on his national team for many years and for sure he's teammates could understand his current situation. Rubio can fix all that and I'm also sure that this will be not the reason for his retirement since even if he is at the peak of his career still he can contribute well to the team where he belong.

I agree to that, he's been with the National team for quite a while and missing one for this upcoming world cup might be understandable
for his teammates and for everyone who's working for the team.

We don't have any updates regarding to his next move in terms of his comeback game for his NBA team, if that will also be affected or not.

Whatever the decision, as long as it will help him better to choose that route and help himself to fix this mental health issue.

Dyor(do your own research) napakahakaga nito kung ang sinuman ay magsasagawa ng trading activity. Dahil kung hindi ito isasaalang-alang ay sure ball na mapupunta lang sa wala ang capital na gagamitin mo sa isang crypto na pupuhunanan mo.

At dapat din may procedure ka na susundin sa pagaplay ng dyor,mahirap kasi yung come what may lang din. Yung manghuhula ka lang kasi, hindi ito tamang behavior ng isang crypto trader.

Tama, at mas mabuti na rin na yung pag research hindi yung kung ano ano nalang na mababasa at mapapanood. Mas okay kung marunong pa rin tayo mag analyze if tama ba yung mga na reresearch naten at kung kapanipaniwala ba.

Kailangan ng medyo mas malalim na unawa at hindi lang magbabase sa nabasa or napanuod kundi dapat talaga mag analyze mabuti, perang
 pinaghirapan yung ipupuhunan kaya dapat alalahanin yung dapat na gaagawin.

Kung aaralin naman kasi ng mabuti mas malaki ung tsansa na makapag convert ng profits sa investment na ito.

Basta dapat laging isaalang alang yung bawat factors na makakaapekto sa pag galaw at posibleng direksyon ng market para hindi
ka kakapakapa sa pag execute ng trade mo.

Tama, yun talaga yung kailangan eh hindi yung papasok ka sa ganitong system na walang alam kasi ikaw din naman ang talo. Mas mabuti na maglaan ng oras at effort sa pagaaral at reserch kung ano ba ang dapat at hindi dapat gawin pagdating sa crypto. Simpleng mindset lang naman yan eh parang business na kailangan mo rin mag effort at pagaralan ang bawat sulok ng sistema para magkaroon ng profit na gusto mo.

Pera mo yung nakataya kaya dapat talagang handa kang mag extra effort para matutunan mo yung takbuhan sa industriyang pinasok
mo, hindi lang basta invest lang tapos antay na lang.

Dapat updated ka at sinusundan mo yung progress at development para hindi ka maiwanan sa lugawan pag may biglang spike or biglang dump.

Mahirap mawalan ng pera or malagasan pagdating sa investment kung nandito ka para mag invest or mag trade.

I'm not sure if Miami will continue to try offering what they've got or like what you said, they will stay with Hero and try to develop
his skills for more competitive capabilities.

Future draft picks will be the biggest offering + Herro, it could be 5 or 6 but not sure if Heat is willing to give up that kind of huge players. So the only thing for us is to wait and see how everything will go down.

Pretty sure negotiations are ongoing and they are staying away from public exposure to avoid issues. IMO the Miami Heat should go all in on Lillard otherwise I have doubts about their ability to return to the finals or even in the eastern conference finals after giving up Max Strus and Gabe Vincent. They also let go of Victor Oladipo plus 2 future 2nd round draft picks to earn more cap space. The Miami Heat obviously lacked assets for direct trade with Portland, so they badly needed a team or even more to facilitate a Lillard trade.

They lose a valuable piece which contributes on their offense and defense like Vincent and now if they cannot get Lillard maybe your assumptions that they might struggle to reach in finals again might be right. But still if there cores still intact and Bam also Butler became healthy then we can add up the return of Tyler Herro still they have a chance to kick up for another finals run even if Lillard will not successfully acquired by Miami.

And also on the other side even they manage to win a trade and have Lilard there's no guarantee that they may reach the finals,

All the familiar faces in the east are also building their rosters or doing their best now to create good chemistries while Heat is still in
negotiations for acquiring Lilard.

For now, we might see some updates, but the final stage still depends on how the teams that involve will agree to the
offer and how they will execute the possible trades.

So whatever is happening to him, I just wish him all the best and hopefully that he's able to overcome all of this. He still wants to fight and get some win before he fully retires.

We are all wishing him to get a win before he finally gets a goodbye to his pro career.

Yes, I've heard about that as well that Donaire's wife, Rachel, had a beef with the Donaire Sr. in the past or should I say still have it.

For what it's worth, hopefully there will be time that both of them will forgive each other and decides to put the past behind them as they approach the future. I know it's hard because nobody deserved to be in that position as that is literally painful and will surely take time before the wound will heal itself. I don't know what causes them to be in this situation but hopefully, they will find the peace soon.
I just can't remember if it was with his dad or some other guy.

But he's going through a lot and this makes me wanna see him to have another match and win it. So that if he decides to be convinced that could be his last fight, he's good to retire and forget all of those issues and problems that he's been in.

Especially on this one, a dad and son that has having a beef. This shouldn't be it but we don't know what culture they've been all together but hoping the best.


Better to settle than to create more buzz regarding to this situation, or Donaire can use this as motivation in trying to
prove something. It's also possible that he's just using it to create noise to continue having his name being hype.

We don't know if he's planning to retire, or he's aiming for another fight and win a title before he will end his career. Anything can happen.

It's a business and there are lots of money involved. We can't tell what's the reason is behind but if it's a real deal, hope they will find
way to settle and fix their relations.

I've read a news article today stating that Marlon Tapales is not happy on the money offer of Inoue's camp, this might cause the cancellation of this fight in Team Inoue would not give in to the demand of Team Tapales.

I sympathize to the Filipino's camp because like Inoue, he is also a champion and the holder of the WBA and IBF belt, though not a crowd drawer but still he should some ample share of the pie not pay them pennies.

Just forgot the link but i will share once i find it.

He should get what he demands. It's not a mandatory to defend his belts and if Inoue's camp will not give him the share that
he's asking he can cancel or deny the deal and look or wait for another that can give him better compensation.

If Inoue is really aiming for unifying the belts in this division, we will see another update regarding to this possible upcoming fight.

Tapales might be using his brain, chance to win is slim. Better to be wise and grab that decent amount of money if the camp of Inoue
give him his demand.

Of course, meme coins tarnish the image of cryptocurrencies, but meme coins listed on reputable centralized exchanges remain much less risky than those traded on DEX, especially on low-fee networks like Binance, where it is quite easy for any scrammer to create a meme token with a small amount of money and then make some liquidity and false indicators to attract victims.

Of course, this is in addition to those tokens that you can buy and then not be able to sell later, so the option remains much less risky on the central exchanges for those who want to try their luck by buying one of the worthless meme coins.
I feel like the risk people are taking would be higher so if they are trading on CEX  that doesn't just tarnish crypto, but it tarnishes the exchange as well. I mean look at Binance, they are super rich and make billions and they are still listing some meme projects just because it has volume.

I get it, because the trading volume is high, that makes it more profitable to list since they will make money based on the trading fee and that's why it's a risk, but I believe nobody should do it like that, people should end up using it a lot better. Binance should be above all of this, they have enough money and they do not need some more just from memecoins. When they do list them, I just feel "you have enough, why drop yourself to memecoin level?".

And with a simple logic, CEX or DEX both are after with the potential earnings with a high volume there are lots of money that involves
making sure the fees will be converted to profits.

Memecoins are tarnishing the image as newcomers who think that they can be lucky and will have that chance to earn money just by
simply investing and trading this kind of projects without doing any research.

Early traders who ride before the crash / dump will take that chance, but most of them who invest last will suffer.

Yup we can call it a mismatch, even with Fulton, who we thought could be the bigger guy as he is a natural super bantamweight and has been in tough fight was no match to the monster.

And with that kind of performance and what Tapales has shown, it's hard to see how Marlon can put up a big upset here. He really need to be in top shape, super fast and power in both hands. But he is not a natural power puncher and everything points to Inoue to win in another spectacular knockout.
Yes. Top shape, in condition, in rhythm, and everything needs to be perfect for Marlon Tapales to win this fight.
I am a Filipino and I don't underestimate him because I want to support Filipino boxers as they are the real chance of Filipino pride. We cannot do anything with basketball but we can do something in boxing and many Filipinos have already proven that.

I won't bet for Inoue, I promise that. But, I want to see more of Tapales showing how creative he will be in defeating the Monster. He ain't a bad fighter and defeating him will make this another achievement for us. As a gambler, they say not to be emotional but this fight is way far from that. It's about supporting your countryman against another so without a doubt I will take whatever underdog odds they will give..
It's look like we are in the same country mate and like hat you said we don't have chance to rise in the basketball league but in the boxing industries we already proven that Filipino is the best and the best example of that is the one and only 8 division champ Manny Pacquiao, anyways back to the topic Inoue vs tapales, which is for sure this is a good matchup as we all know that the monster prove that his is the best in bantamweight division but one thing  for sure Tapales will have a chance to win the match all he needs is to study the fighting style of the monster.

Tapales is also a champion so Inoue and other people should look at it as easy fight for Inoue or even a sure win for japanese monster since he might caught by a big shoot thrown by Tapales if he relax to much on their figh. Even though that guy is underdog for sure he will exert more efforts in this fight since if he could able to defeat Inoue then this is a big achievement of his boxing career and he might gain outrageous fame for defeating the Japanese monster they call.

Yep! Just a lucky solid conversion will change his career. I mean, being an underdog doesn't mean that you automatically lose the
fight even it's not started yet.

All are speculations and will going to depend on how each fighter will do their extra work to train hard and prepare for the upcoming event.

Both are champ and who knows if what fate will bring to Tapales, a win will surely change his lifestyle.
