5521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's on! 2024 US Presidential Election Biden+Harris Vs Trump Bitcoin betting.... on: February 16, 2023, 11:04:12 PM
I believe that the odds for Kamala are fair. Her political views are extreme and she is considered my many as "unelectable". Although odds for other democrat candidates such as Pete Buttigieg and Raphael Warnock are currently not that favorable, as the primaries near these candidates may gain enough traction to overtake Kamala. The current odds (7.50) looks reasonable for me. And these odds are for winning the 2024 POTUS elections and not for winning the Democrat primaries. Kamala, in case she wins the primary, has approximately 30% chance of becoming the POTUS. On the other hand, Buttigieg has a 70% chance, in case he wins the primaries.
We love to imagine USA as this improved and developed nation with high regard of freedom. But in reality, they are lacking that so much, they are a backwards nation, which means a female that is coloured would be pretty difficult to hit. Hell they preferred Trump over a women, although that woman was Hillary Cliton so I do not really blame them.

Long story short, Kamala would lose if she was the candidate, because she is a woman, and she is a person of colour, and it is greatly obvious that USA doesn't like that in bulk. Maybe it would be possible if she got the votes of millions of women who didn't voted, but that is a tough task and would require a lot of hard work on campaign.

Well, I can't deny one thing, as far as Trump is concerned, he has a super spectacular oratory, everyone understands that, that's something I really admire and his side of non-acceptance of the communist current is something that can help a lot, however , I have noticed that sometimes things can get complicated when you go only in a single political current because it is something that goes against many things and you do not cover many thoughts, and that can throw you back, but even so, I see strong Trump for these elections, regardless of the fact that he says that many people are big fans of him, I even think that they have created a kind of Pro Trump sect, which is not good, because it generates a lot of fanaticism.

Wow I am surprised by the way in which Benfica is the Leader, but the level is reflected in the UCL, Benfica is always a team that gives a lot to talk about, also the players they have are very compact and the dominance is noticeable. total, on the other hand Porto is a team that is always there, these two teams are next to Sporting Club the most outstanding in the Portuguese League, in fact I thought that CR7 was going to come to their local league, and if they come I imagine that he will enter Sporting because it was his launching club, where he made himself known, although Benfica is a very strong team and I cannot deny it is one of my favorites, Benfica is always in the UCL with great prominence.

I don't like the idea of him picking the same race like having a fight against another Filipino who's also aiming for the belt. But who knows, this is boxing and the position is vacated so, they can have each others hand on line and pull it.

If that's how it will go, then no choice but to face each other. Besides, it's not really in Donaire's camp to decide who will be his next opponent.

For now, who's gonna be the one that will be put as a mandatory fighter to challenge the WBC Bantamweight is still in question.

Let's follow the progress of that story.

I agree with you, although we don't want to see both Filipino boxers fighting as we only have few boxers who reach at a high level, but this is business, it defends on the organization and everytime a boxer will have a fight, they always sees it as an opportunity to shine, regardless of whom they'll face for that particular fight.

We should move on with that kind of mentality, I guess it's better to see Filipinos fighting against each other for the championship belt. Sooner or later it will happen, we've seen Donaire vs Gaballo already so we might see another one as there is another name like Astrolabio. Their goal is to win belts for the Filipinos so that they will enjoy another world champion. There were time that there are a lot of Filipino champions, Manny, Nietes, Villoria and Nonito Donaire in the same year having a belt.

Well I think we all know what the level of Filipino boxers is, it's very high, and of course they want them to eliminate each other in some way, but they should be much more cautious and make them fight against other boxers, this to maintain the sporting level well stocked and take advantage of the masses of fans who are always supporting the sport, but I think that as I said before, before the sport, especially in boxing, there is the business model, if there is not good money there, it cannot be done a lot, because when we think that certain fights will not attract a lot of money, they prefer to do this type of event, of course this is what I speculate, maybe I am wrong.

/snip

But I find it funny how host countries are sometimes able to somehow beat favorite teams. Russia played so well that they were eliminated in quarter-finals while almost beat Croatia, that went into finals and Qatar beat Argentina, a team that defeat all the other teams and won Fifa World Cup.
Russian players were definitely on steroids because they were running like horses but idk about Qatar.

Qatar didn't beat Argentina in the World Cup. They played really badly and it was evident that they don't have the quality to play against top teams of the world. They played four games in the group stage and managed to score only one goal against Senegal.

But I see your point. Playing at home often makes players give an extra effort for the fans and then surprises can happen. But sadly that didn't work out for Qatar.

Not that kind of advantage really that will boost the team's morale, I strongly think that it is the other way around where most of them are already feeling the pressure because they are the host and the people, and their federation are expecting that they can at least defeat some teams along the way so that the host team, for example Qatar, will still be relevant and won't get embarrassed in the early phase.

The thing about the house and the advantage is somewhat ambiguous, if it is necessary to consider that a host team has a little more advantage, but you must have a little more tact when it comes to giving a red or yellow card, because it is the advantage of the host, then it cannot be dealt with radically and harshly either, the hosts are the ones who usually win the first game, but in the case of Qatar things were very different, they even said that Ecuador had offered a lot of money to the players to let themselves win, I don't know if it was speculation or truth, but somehow that causes a lot of curiosity.

Unfortunately, the two teams are currently not in a convincing situation. both PSG and Bayern, both are having some problems. plus, several key players from both teams were both injured. Recently, it was reported that Mbappe would be absent after getting injured against Montpellier. according to rumors, Mbappe will be out for the next three weeks. that means, Mbappe is doubtful that he will be able to appear with PSG against Bayern Munich later. and if these rumors are true, automatically PSG's front line will lose its sharpness a little. It's a shame, because this match is an important match for PSG.

Meanwhile, Nagelsmann's squad still hasn't returned to showing its true form. the absence of several players who were injured caused Bayern's performance to decline slightly. with the situation that happened to these two teams, it looks like the match in the first leg will not be so interesting.
We have too much similarity in both team's performance after break with too many injuries and performance level is also not as they were doing before break even in last nigh game both done good performance in away matches but still they need more improvement for the better results in Champions League but here I have feeling in this all situation PSG is still better than Bayern Munich because in last three Bundesliga games they have just three points with their attack is not sharp as it needs to be on target which is surely problem for them and Nagelsmann having the biggest concern about this as well.
 
In PSG case, they lost Mbappé for the first round match but still their attack is having better power and depth for this game because Messi and Neymar both can handle this all situation, and they can break Bayern Munich defense for the better result of the first round match in Mbappé absence.


Honestly, in this game the possibilities are open, and things can happen either way, I think that both teams have the quality to be the winners, of course if we are willing to look closely, I think that PSG would have the advantage Due to the quality of hjyugadroes that you have, the case of Ney, Mbappé, Messi, they are a winning combination from the point of view that you look at, I don't see a breaking point there, you have to wait to see how things continue within the team, lately they had not tended to be able to be more consistent, soccer is very complicated, a match that can be seen easy for PSG can be very complicated, even losing it.

Felix must try to train hard to execute even better especially trying to train to make an accurate shot. The second leg gonna be hot caused by chelsea was only losing 1 goal. It can comeback anytime.

 If you say Felix needs to try hard to execute his chances and all that then it means his no good addition to the team. I mean look at this Chelsea side, they're just bunch of jokers running around from one end to the other, this Chelsea players have lost it as it is and to top it all, no team spirit at all. There's no way they can play as a unit, something is really wrong with the team, I really don't think is the coach but part of the problem is some of the players.
 They lost to a better side in the Champions league and the return leg is going to be disastrous. I'll say it's disappointing because after buying all those players and they can't deliver what's the point in getting them? Is it to come and showcase their names on the Chelsea color? Hell no,  they need to make some changes, drop some players and start those ones that are eager to play. And to rap it up, Felix is one of the best amongst all the players they bought.

No, wait a minute, the technique that Joao Félix has is good, what happens is that he had no luck, that was all, but the technique is impeccable, right now for a player to learn or change something in his technique is difficult, they already know it, what they can do is improve the technique so that it adapts much better to what Chelsea needs and that's what training sessions are for, for me the best were Joao Félix and Enzo, although everyone criticizes Enzo for the goal What they did to him, it's not the right thing to do, first because he put up with the player well, he did what every defense always does, but the player decided to give that one he couldn't reach and goal, but it was a deadly counterattack for Chelsea.

Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis vs. Ryan Garcia: 3 possible sites in Las Vegas, Nevada for April 15th

Quote
By Craig Daly: The Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia mega-fight is being targeted at one of the following venues on April 15th on Showtime PPV in Las Vegas, Nevada: Allegiant Stadium, T-Mobile Arena, or MGM Grand. Boxing Scene is reporting the news of the Tank vs. Ryan fight heading to Las Vegas, which makes sense because that’s where most of the mega-fights in the U.S. take place nowadays. Ideally, the Davis-Garcia fight will be staged at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas because it’s the largest venue by far of the three, allowing more boxing fans to attend and for a lower price cost of the ticket than if the contest takes place at the other two.



Source: https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/02/gervonta-tank-davis-vs-ryan-garcia-3-possible-sites-in-las-vegas-nevada-for-april-15th/

This is already being discussed here but I did not think that ticket prices would be lower if it was in the Allegiant Stadium  which could mean it is more accessible to fans to that could boost sales. T mobile and the MGM have always been expensive venues to attend and Vegas is not the cheapest place to find hotels or travel to. If they can reduce the ticket prices that might allow more people to afford but still benefit the promoters enough so that they go for Allegiant Stadium .
The ticket is expensive and they also have big-time sponsors so they will surely make money from it. It will not be affordable for ordinary people so we got no choice but just to watch it through their chosen platforms. They consider it as a big match of the first quarter so no wonder why the organizers have chosen an expensive venue. Garcia still wants to prove a lot so if he'll beat Davis, so he must be well prepared for this because for sure, Davis would also grab this chance to maintain his good record.

Well, in particular, I think that when these types of events are taken into consideration, they should make a division for people whose tickets are not so expensive and sell out quickly, or perhaps do it in a much larger place, to give them more opportunity. everyone to be able to occupy themselves, the fans are very important in a fight of this type, this will remain for history for posterity, if we see it that way this fight is very important, and maybe even our own children can remember this fight, everything is in the poibhldiades, just knowing that you had the opportunity to go and couldn't is like something sad.

The new defender at the right side Cancelo showed a really great game. He integrated well into the team. Bayern Munich showed that they can still score goals and also win a game. Mainz had not had a chance. If Bayern Munich will also play like this against Wolfsburg then it will be difficult for Wolfsburg to get at least one point.
Mainz will play against Union Berlin at this weekend. That will not be easy either.
Cancelo is a utility player and he can be able to adapt to every  club. I remember when Guardiola plays him as a defender and also as a winger who moves the ball forward. So I am not surprised that he adapted speedily in his new team. He is such a great player who has pace and committed to football playing.

There is no doubt about Cancelo's quality, because with Cancelo previously playing at Manchester City, of course Cancelo has good experience and mentality. With Cancelo in the Bayern Munich squad, of course, Bayern Munich's defense will also be stronger or at least it can be even better.
Because Bayern Munich's problems are also still weak in defense which is difficult to make a win with clean sheets, so recruiting the defender is also the right decision.

Well, I can't say more than praise Cancelo, he's a great player and I think it's strange that Pep Guardiola let him go, obviously it's going to save Bayern a lot of problems, and they'll be able to perform better, although I'm one of those who believe that Bayern needs a striker more, I think Cancelo is on another level, however it is good that he is strengthened at the level of defense, with that, the technical director is the one who knows very well how to do to be able to put his team together, one As an expectant and as a fan, you can see things from a very external point of view and can draw some conclusions, we don't know how they will be internally.

Dortmund are definitely underestimated right now. They are in a distance of only three points to Bayern Munich in the standings. Their form is really difficult to overlook right now. They have been on a winning streak for many weeks. Maybe they don't have a very strong defense line but they are still able to compensate for it thanks to their scoring effort. Bayern Munich are quite inconsistent in this season. They are like trying to gift the championship to some other team.

I think Dortmund have quite a big opportunity ahead to take advantage of. This can be the season Bayern Munich's title streak finishes. I know that Dortmund's vision is totally different but I hope they won't start being complacent and lose their title chance.

Well, the way Dormund has played has been impressive, I really think Dortmund have played very well because in the UCL they did very well beating Chelsea, and beating Chelsea now is not a very easy task, that's not I can deny it, that game was very exciting, the truth is that I think Chelsea should have won, but football is not about merit but about who scores the goals, that's what it's all about, Chelsea played with their soul, for me they had bad luck , because joao felix had to score the goals and he hit the crossbar and on another occasion they almost scored the goal and they took it from the entire goal line.

and Chelsea:

Chelsea lack clinical edge as Karim Adeyemi roasts Enzo Fernandez to sprint 70 yards and score to put Borussia Dortmund in command



Quote
From a Chelsea corner, Dortmund broke and countered in deadly style through the pacy Adeyemi, who roasted Enzo Fernandez for speed before rounding Kepa Arrizabalaga and scoring.

The Germany international was signed weeks before Erling Haaland joined Manchester City and has been earmarked as his successor, though there are clear differences in their games.

Nevertheless, the forward’s display gave Dortmund fans the kind of excitement that they were used to from Haaland on nights in the Champions League.

Yes, I hope these two teams show an all out appearance and put pressure on each other. This match garnered a lot of attention, so they should put on something good to look at. Enthusiasm is increasingly felt because Manchester United and Barcelona will be closer to the match. Whatever the result will be, I hope they can show their best for every eye that watches them compete.
Even though the time is still two weeks away, the enthusiasm of the audience has started to increase. This indicates that these two teams have a large number of fans, so there are many people who can't wait to see them compete in the playoffs this time. I personally am also waiting for the match because with the strengths of each team that are starting to look good, of course that will make the match even more enjoyable for everyone to see.
The tension is building up already and everyone is willing to view the match between Manchester United and Barcelona. I am sure that the match will not be a disappointment. Whether be it goalless or many goals, the match will still be interesting. The viewing will be very high and the standard of the of Europa League will increase more.

Yeah, I bet everyone is looking forward to that match. Barcelona has greatly improved in their defense but feel their midfield is lacking in the form of Busquets. I think he would be slow to hold the fast and agile attackers Manchester United has and if they could capitalize on that, it could be good.

During the absence of Lewandoski, Dembele has been very instrumental and very effective in their attacks. But now he’s back, it would be an added plus for Barcelona. Very exciting game ahead.

It's true, Dembelé is breaking it, he does excellent things, however we must be clear that Lewa is Lewa and that he is a player who is in a very good moment, so it doesn't matter who plays, what is important here is that I think In my personal opinion, Barcelona is doing very well, and I think they can focus a lot on the League and the Europa League, that is something that can happen, I think they can achieve it, Xavi must be clear about it, he cannot hesitate I think that this is the opportunity they have to do things very well because things have not turned out the way they want and this may be their last Indian opportunity.

As I understand, Valencia will formally play today without a head coach, Voro will be acting. It's very important for Real to win today, and Valencia are not doing very well right now, so it seems like the game shouldn't be difficult for Real. But if you recall the recent game in the Super Cup, then the match ended in a draw in regular time, and only in the penalty Real manage to beat Valencia. I think Real Madrid should win today, Barcelona should not be allowed to increase their advantage if they expect to compete for the title.

The truth about Valencia is painful, I would have liked it if they had given Gattuso more opportunities, it's not bad, just that the League has become very competitive, and clearly the teams that are strongest are Real Madrid, not only Because of this game, which is super important, I say that Ral nmadrid is as relevant as Barcelona and well, these teams are going strong enough to see which one comes first, so in this order of ideas according to the redemption of Valencia, well It's a bit hard compared to these teams, I think that's why Gattuso was also removed, it's a shame.

The first half was almost over and Madrid had a comfortable lead through two goals scored by Asensio early in their first half followed by a Benzema penalty.
The conditions were as many people expected because the match would definitely be like this.
Finally, they were able to reduce their margins with Barcelona again, even though this is still a long way off, but I'm pretty sure with 3 points.
it's actually 3:0 in Favor of Real Madrid, and it's half-time. Benzema scored yet again. It's the much-needed goals for Real Madrid to edge them closer to winning this match. They will be trying to chase down their rivals Barcelona, who are at the summit of the La Liga.

I know that there are more matches to be played, but personally I think it's too late for Real Madrid.

Well, I am a fan of Real Madrid, and I know that they have lost and tied those games that have been key just to win, sometimes it is sad because letting the league go like this when they have just been champions is hard, Real Madrid fell into his own trap, and his own trap was to try to win the game from minute 80, a very reckless strategy and I don't know why Ancelotti had that strategy, yes, it has been very successful for him, because I remember some games that were won like that, even going back, but not all games are the same, personally I think that was Madrid's worst mistake.

Now plans can change:

5530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco - May 20 on: February 16, 2023, 12:42:55 AM
There are some rumors circulating that it is possible that the fight deal won't realized because Haney had found way to evade Lomachenko by asking higher percentage income on the fight.  If we can recall Haney had demanded some advantage on the split and Lomachenko camp agreed.  Now Haney is asking for another raise of percentage and the camp of Lomachenko hasn't replied yet.

This is the news about this:

Quote
Mike Coppinger of ESPN reports that undisputed lightweight champion Haney (29-0, 15 KOs) was “concessions” from the former three-division world champion Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) in terms of money to make the fight happen for May 20th. That being the case, the 34-year-old Lomachenko will need to give up some of the money to Haney that he was hoping to get for the fight if he wants the opportunity to challenge for his four belts.

https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/01/devin-haney-wants-concessions-from-vasyl-lomachenko-negotiations-stalled/

Yeah, it will be a problem for Arum if the camp of Haney is insisting for more money and this could be the start of a strain between him and the Haney's specially if he doesn't want to give in to the demands.

Hopefully the demand in money is that the big too, and yeah, maybe Top Rank can shoulder it, instead of seeing this fighting collapses in front of us.

Haney might have the right to demand more as he is the unified champion.

Oh, this is another road block, not sure who is to blame if the fight is not going to happen because I do agree that as a unified champion, Haney has every right for higher purse. But on the other hand, Loma is big name as well and could be the one bringing more fans in the building for this fight.

So he might not agree even for a 60/40 split in favor of Haney. Maybe Bob Arum can weave his magic since both of this fighters are under his banner.

Let's wait we still have months for this negotiations to settle.
I don't know about you but I have an opinion that is somewhat distant from this, and it is that things are not being done in favor of the sport, from what I have seen everything focuses on money, if a fight is arranged, what they see first is if It will make a lot of money with sales or not, this to know if it is good to make the investment or not, then it brings this type of consequence within the boxers themselves, that one wants to earn more than the other, that the organizers may have a type preferably towards a particular boxer, because they know that that boxer moves people, sometimes the demand is not enough for the event, then the business model comes first before the sport, and if the money is not enough, well the fight is not done.

Bill Haney Goes On Rant Over Hopkins Criticizing Devin





Quote
Bill feels that Hopkins, who he labels as a former “cat burglar” who spent time in prison, should be saying positive things about Devin (29-0, 15 KOs) and other young fighters instead of “downing” them when a mic is put in front of him. Bill says undisputed lightweight champion Haney will be making more money in his next fight on May 20th against Vasyl Lomachenko than the former two-division world champion Hopkins did during his entire 28-year professional career. It’s hard to believe Haney will make more money in his fight with Lomachenko than Hopkins did in almost 30 years as a pro. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hopkins’ net worth is $45 million.

I’m surprised no one is talking about this news. For me, it’s the biggest news this week, the 21 year old English player has been cleared of all charges. What’s the fate of Greenwood’s future in Manchester United and football? Will Manchester United finally terminate his contract or will we see him wearing the reds once again
When the charges were on him his contract wasn't terminated, is it now that it seems he is vindicated that his contract will be terminated?
If he is truly free and ready to rejoin the club it will be an added advantage to ETH because his wing would be strengthened and maybe some unperforming players will transfer

 I am glad that he has been cleared of the charges, and this news did not go viral because the player is not famous, and the press did not use all its tabloid power, as has been the case with Dani Alves, accused of sexual abuse. harassment.

Now, if Manchester United did not dispense with the player's services, they should open the doors of the team to him, and hope that Ten Hag does not treat him as he did with CR7 at the time (Because for me Ten Hag is a person who is somewhat " special" in their decisions). Personally, I am a person who has never believed in Ten Hag, it does not give me enough confidence.

...
I'm not sure if Neymar will leave PSG in the mid-year transfer market because PSG currently still need his role in attack. Maybe there really is a problem with the club regarding the recent decline in performance for PSG. Even if Neymar leaves PSG, of course there will be many top European clubs who will try to negotiate with him, is it possible that he will come to an EPL club? we know there is very competitive and can be a new challenge for Neymar.

Neymar is a very competitive football player, I think the same thing in this regard.  The only problem is that he has a quick injury problem.  Everyone knows that he is a top player.  If he is to leave Psg, there may be dozens of top teams willing to sign him.  Of course he can go to EPL too.  Maybe Manchester United can try their luck in this matter or Chelsea can add it to the high money they spend.
It is possible that if his choice is to go to the EPL I think he will come to Manchester United rather than Chelsea. We know that at Manchester United there are other Brazilian players such as Casemiro, Fred and Antony. I think he will adapt more quickly if he is with other Brazilian players. On the other hand, even though Neymar has a right winger position it can be a good option for Erik ten hag and of course Rashford will be shifted to become the main striker, we know that so far Weghorst has made little contribution to the red devils.

PSG's obsession is the Champions League, and even with 3 players who are at the top, Mbappé, Neymar and Messi, they still haven't got it, and to tell you the truth, they won't get it this year either.
Neymar and Mbappé don't get along and it's very visible, these ego disputes are really hurting the team. The managers will have to make a decision if they want to keep Mbappé or Neymar.
Although you guys say that there are several clubs wanting Neymar, I don't believe this, he is too problematic, too much drama.
I will write down the team that I believe he could go to if he leaves PSG: Chelsea.

I'll put a note here to remember in a few months.



But not with Mbappé, Neymar also criticized some of his teammates.
Not without reason Neymar did this, he was deeply disappointed with the results of the match against Monaco, who had lost by a score of 3-1.
PSG have suffered three defeats and one draw in the last seven matches on the Ligue 1 stage. In addition, PSG also had to accept the fact that they were eliminated from the French Cup after losing to Marseille. Because PSG is not used to losing, Neymar began to express his emotions of disappointment.

Because of his uncontrollable behavior, the PSG manager will finally include Neymar in the PSG Sell list,.

PSG management is said to have no longer been able to defend Neymar's performance. The 31-year-old striker's game itself was called inconsistent after the 2022 World Cup title.
This season he has played 27 times in all competitions. He has contributed 17 goals and 16 assists so far.
I don't know which club will accept Neymar, the player with uncontrolled emotions. But if he is accepted at Chelsea, maybe he will become the new mascot for Chelsea.

That's very interesting, I see that PSG is starting to fall apart, because if Ney starts to complain and say certain things, it's because obviously there are things that don't add up to him, I wonder what Messi will think? Will the sheikh offer him much more money to stay? Will it be more money than they offer him in Saudi football? Instead of Ney and Messi, I don't think twice, it is known that the favorite at PSG is Mbappé, and they are leaving out the players who have more experience and presence on the field, Ney, although he is, is a player very good.

Instead of leaving the players, I would try to bring me a good coach, like Zidane, and I would meet all the requirements that he asks of me, because I know that with Zidane the football he will direct will be at another level.

I think it's better if he would face another nationality, again as I have said, Thailand's  Nawaphon Sor. Rungvisai  or PR's pride Emmanuel Rodriguez (who beat Jason Moloney).

I also don't want two Filipino to be in the same ring, as much as possible I also like to see other nationality to face Nonito Donaire, it give more excitement than seeing both Filipino fight, sure the title will be in a Filipinos hand who ever own the fight but it is sad to think that a fellow Filipino's record will be tarnished by another Filipino.

I want Donaire to test himself against Nawaphon Sor. Rungvisai, I think it will be a good match, Rungvisai is very aggressive and it will fit on Donaire's style. Nonito is known to have his left hook, very patented of him. But he usually used it to fighters who want's to walk him down and think that they can easily out power him.

So if Rungvisai make a lot of mistakes trying to get inside of Donaire, they for sure he will taste some of those left hook and then combo in the body. So I wouldn't be surprised if Donaire wins another knockout victory in his next fight if either Rodriguez or Rungvisai will be his opponent for the belt.


I agree with your statement. I also want to see a match between Runvisai vs Donaire though I doubt that it will happen anytime soon. If there is one thing that is a fact on this match, it is that Donaire is slowly becoming older as the years pass by. He was nicknamed the "Filipino Flash" for his speed and accuracy, though he is slowly deteriorating as the years pass by.

If the match between Rungvisai and Donaire happen in the future, this is something that I would definitely watch and gamble my money for. This is the entertainment that most would probably love due to both their aggressiveness and style on the court.

The truth is that I am very happy that Donaire is active and eager, now I don't know very well if Donaire wants to have that fight against Rungvisai, but apparently if this fight happens, nonito could do a good job with Rungvisai, the prospects of The other organizers will begin to give much more in favor of Donaire, it is something I imagine, and this regardless of what they think of his age, fortunately the advantage in boxing is that it is not like in soccer, here things can be different, experience is valued much more and they are not treated as if they were already out of fashion, one of the things that we would all like is to see Pacquiao fight again for real, but it is not possible, however we have nonito giving the face.
5533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: February 15, 2023, 07:37:05 PM

Yeah, he has proven that he can win outside of his native country Japan. But if this one is going to be held in Saitama again, Inoue will have so much confident because he wanted to please the crowd again, just like what he did against Donaire, devastating knockout win.

Perhaps we may want to re-phrase that, chances of Fulton are slim to stop the train hype of the Inoue. Naoya is on a destructive path that we don't know who is going to beat him in 122 lbs.

Fulton is really in a tough challenge here as Inoue will be the crowd favorite despite being the challenger. I can't imagine this fight will end in judges' scorecards as if we follow the trend, Inoue will easily win here via KO. As long as Fulton is willing to go toe to toe, it will not be a boring fight, and of course, he has to suffer a painful defeat as Inoue is such a heavy hitter.

Depends how tough Fulton's chin against Inoue's power. But we all know that there are no chin in the boxer that can't be broken. Sooner or later, they will have to face a boxer that punches hard and their chin are going to be soft.

Fulton might not go toe to toe because it will be dangerous for him and will try to avoid Inoue's power punch. Not saying it will be boring, but Fulton could not be willing to go fight in that strategy in the first half of the fight but then will adjust how the fight goes.
Cant really be still that too confident for Inoue to make some infight against Fulton.Not to reside with Fulton but we know that he wont really be that a belt holder for nothing.Its true that there's no such thing about
tough chin specially if it gets hit hard but we dont know on what extent it could hold into.For sure Fultons team is really that finding methods and ways on beating or trying to counter basing up on
how Inoue fights.Month of May is fast approaching and having 5 months of training is something that would be sufficient specially for Inoue on trying to go with heavier weight division? Lets see.

Well I like the idea as you see it, almost everyone is saying that Inoue can win easily, of course he is a boxer who has had a very good reputation in his previous category, but at the same time I like what he did by leaving his titles just for go to this new category, just for that gesture I respect him much more.

Now, the point of view you have is very valid because I also believe that a boxer can change everything from the perspective of his training. Of course, many things can happen in this fight, we don't know how Fulton will come, he must be preparing in a great way.

Liborio Solis asks Inoue to prepare for a war – World Boxing Association


Quote
At 41 years young, Venezuelan fighter Liborio Solis is preparing for another world title fight and he does it with the same commitment and optimism as always.

The Maracay-born fighter will be facing Japan’s Takuma Inoue, 14 years younger, on April 18, in a fight that will have the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) bantamweight (118 lbs.) title at stake.

Inoue is the second challenger in that division and Solis is ranked third.

“It’s one more challenge in my life and we face it as it comes. We’re going all out,” Solis said while completing a training session at the Pedro ‘Rockero’ Alcazar gym in Curundu, Panama City.

“I have been patient waiting for a new title opportunity, I fought for it and now it has arrived”, added the former WBA super flyweight (115 lbs.) champion.

if PSG manages to improve their defense then they will not have big problems in the games and consequently they will be able to be comfortable at the top, but if their defense problems are not solved or at least minimized then we will see PSG having a lot of pressure from the opponents because there will be games in which PSG will lose points, so far as PSG's attack can score a lot of goals so even if they concede 1 or 2 goals in a game they can win, but that's not something safe

they need to improve their defense, when I watch PSG games I see their defense making simply unacceptable mistakes, something that shocks me. even in their last game, they conceded a goal that if they had a good defense they would not have conceded that goal, so PSG will lose in the champions league game
PSG don't feel a lot of competition in Ligue 1, perhaps that's why their results are not so impressive, as they know that if one of the opponents gets too close, they can prevent him from overtaking them. But their competitors help to them, Lance lost to Nice yesterday and has already dropped to third place.
Assuming Ligue 1 is as competitive as other leagues, this would have made psg to fix their defence or any other part of their team that is not strong. But  since even if one part of their team is bad or struggling, they will also be winning matches, these has made them to feel so relaxed and will only be very serious during champions league meetings.

Well, what happens is that now the football matches that have to do with PSG are very important and capture the attention of many, because most want to see the PSG matches, whether in Ligue 1 or the Champions League, many are It has called attention that PSG has had some draws and that they have lost some games, because there is a lot of talk about their players and more about Neymar because there is speculation that they want to sell him, all this draws attention, however, Marseille and Other teams have been getting very close to PSG, this has led Ligue 1 to become very good, let's hope it continues with your emotions, although I say, PSG is PSG and when they start to play well it is something else.

Mbappé could face Bayern in ECL after rapid injury recovery



Quote
Kylian Mbappé has made an unexpectedly quick recovery from injury and Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier hopes he can face Bayern Munich on Tuesday in the first leg of their round-of-16 Champions League clash. The World Cup superstar was expected to be out for three weeks after tearing a muscle in his left thigh on Feb. 1 and the jet-heeled forward's speedy return has surprised Galtier. “Kylian trained with the squad today and completed the whole session. I didn’t think he would be ready," Galtier said at Monday's news conference. “We took the decision to let him take part if he felt ready. We’re not quite sure if he’ll be on the team sheet, we’ll see tomorrow morning.”

5535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 15, 2023, 06:29:42 PM
I am quite surprised to see the change in the current Serie A standings, Milan, which previously dominated in second place in the standings, had to drop to fifth place because of consecutive defeats in the last two weeks.



Mourinho underrate this Cremonese side. He didn’t featured most of his best players in that game. He felt like their standing on the league table was enough to reason for him to play that way. The fact that drew against Napoli and won them on penalties should have given them the insight into how the game would have been. I also feel he didn’t see the Coppa Italian as important as the Serie A. So I wasn’t surprised with the result.

For Rome, however, this result is a sad one.  Cremonense is a team at the bottom of Serie A and I didn't think they could beat Roma.  Luckily I didn't bet on this game, if I had I would have placed a bet on Rome to win. 
~

If you look at how they managed to draw against Napoli recently, and won on penalties. You will rethink betting for Roma. Roma have Europa League match in the coming two weeks, that should be a consideration

Serie A is one of the football leagues that is improving without a doubt, however, I have seen that some leagues apart from the Italian one are very exciting, like the Bundesliga, in this case I would like Roma to go up much more than place since that is one of the main objectives of the Mou and I see him very committed to Roma, I cannot deny that now I like how the standings are going, seeing Napoli in first place is extremely gratifying, Italian football is growing even more, the level they have shown is very good and the competition is stronger.

I don't understand what game Inter played today in the Italian League. I didn't imagine that it would play so badly. I was a little surprised to see today's game between Sampdoria and Inter. I thought that Inter might win in today's match, but the match was a draw.  None of the teams could score any goals which meant that the points of today's match had to be shared between the two teams.
And again we can't predict exactly in Serie A matches which I think should be an easy match for Inter because Samdoria is not a tough opponent
but the fact is a draw is the final result obviously this disappointed the fans and widened the gap with Napoli, somehow all aspects favor Napoli to win the title.
I agree, you would expect Inter to win such a game and they should have been within... 12 points? Wow, even with that the difference was too much but at least they would be 5 points ahead of Atalanta and Roma, which they are not right now because of this and only 3 points ahead, which is just one game difference and if they ever lose, and those teams win, they will lose their positions as well.

I personally believe that Inter is good enough to be winners in any time, they have the roster and the talents for it but they won't be doing that if they keep playing worse than their talents, they need to give their 100% to be second in the league.
I know how you feel, sometimes you feel very disappointed and when you see the game of our favorite teams that are not at the level, it makes you very angry, but Inter is not doing badly, let's remember that Serie A has a high level, not only because of what Napoli has been demonstrating, there is also Roma that is getting closer little by little, sometimes you lose games that were sure points, but that's how it happens, in other leagues something similar is seen, as is the case of the League with Real Madrid I have felt like this and there is no choice but to wait and see what continues to happen, while the difference in whores continues to widen further.

Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis vs. Ryan Garcia: 3 possible sites in Las Vegas, Nevada for April 15th

Quote
By Craig Daly: The Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia mega-fight is being targeted at one of the following venues on April 15th on Showtime PPV in Las Vegas, Nevada: Allegiant Stadium, T-Mobile Arena, or MGM Grand. Boxing Scene is reporting the news of the Tank vs. Ryan fight heading to Las Vegas, which makes sense because that’s where most of the mega-fights in the U.S. take place nowadays. Ideally, the Davis-Garcia fight will be staged at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas because it’s the largest venue by far of the three, allowing more boxing fans to attend and for a lower price cost of the ticket than if the contest takes place at the other two.



Source: https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/02/gervonta-tank-davis-vs-ryan-garcia-3-possible-sites-in-las-vegas-nevada-for-april-15th/

This is already being discussed here but I did not think that ticket prices would be lower if it was in the Allegiant Stadium  which could mean it is more accessible to fans to that could boost sales. T mobile and the MGM have always been expensive venues to attend and Vegas is not the cheapest place to find hotels or travel to. If they can reduce the ticket prices that might allow more people to afford but still benefit the promoters enough so that they go for Allegiant Stadium .

I don't know if I'm sinning in saying the following, but I think they should lower the prices, not only is everything win-win, I think that things regarding money have already been covered, they should also give them the opportunity that many stay and can give the opportunity to go to this type of event, the fans know that most of them are not millionaires and it is difficult for them to get money to be able to go to a great event of this caliber, so it is not bad that they can make a discount so that most of them can go, as long as what also matters is that he can generate more emotions and give others the opportunity to go and enjoy such a good fight.

The fact that they spent 500+ million pounds on transfer and still saying that they are lacking a position is beyond funny to me. If you gave me 500 million pounds today, and gave me a team with zero players in it, I would have built you a team that had at least as much points as Chelsea, who knows maybe even better.

We're in a search of a goal keeper doesn't mean we're urgently in need of one. Don't forget we have about three goal keepers already. Mendy our previous number one has been injuried for quite sometime now and the talks on the renewal of his contract isn't progressing on a positive note which means he's likely to depart in the summer so we're now in search of a replacement for him so we don't fall into the same situation of panic buying like we did in January which clubs take advantage of and increase the value of their players knowing we're desperate and will pay the fee.

Chelsea is undergoing a rebuild with a new owner that wants his own players and not those inherited from the previous owners. Chelsea is a big club in Europe and known to be big spenders so you don't expect them to get their players cheap. The 500+ millions we spent got us about 8+ players and not all are available for the season so when you look at it we didn't over spend. The quality of players that were bought are brilliant so it isn't a wasted investments. We just need a quality coach to get this boys playing well again, Graham Potter isn't giving the vibe the squad needs.

Graham Potter is not different from a shit poster , he should be flagged red trusted and banned from being Chelsea's Coach. If you look at the project new head wants you will notice it's a long time plan which will definitely get the club enough titles and awards to player's. The problem with Chelsea is currently Graham Potter he deserves the sack letter. Player's like Cucurella should b dropped for a while.

Mendy wishes to leave indirectly, I was thinking like he must have forcefully claimed to be Injured not to play because he wants an improvement in what he receives as salary

I don't really get how you are talking about Graham Potter. Nobody says that he is a great coach with a long history of outstanding achievements, but if Chelsea comes by and asks you to become their coach, would you decline the offer?

In my opinion it is just the new owners who are to blame. They sacked Thomas Tuchel, got Graham Potter and now people blame Potter. I would blame the new club owners. Almost no coach would decline the offer and say "hey this is too difficult for me and I don't want the money as well".

Tuning a team is not easy, the players they have bought are very good, let's remember that managing stars is sometimes difficult to integrate them, because each one wants to stand out, some don't even adapt, Enzo's case is different, that's why we have to give him Give Graham some time, he's not bad, I don't think Tuchel either, but immediate results are like something very grotesque to ask for, football isn't that easy either, let alone direct it, there are many teams that have a lot of quality and their Players are very good, it's hard to run a PL team, criticism can become apparent, it's easier lop, I'd be a little softer and leave Graham 1 1/2 months.

Sergio Ramos’ future is up in the air as the veteran defender will become a free agent on June 30 when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires. As of now, the capital club has yet to offer an extension.

Nonetheless, Mundo Deportivo reports that Ramos will have two destinations should PSG opt to move on from the Spanish defender. The first could be Al Nassr, the team that recently signed Ramos’ former Real Madrid teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Saudi Arabia-based team wants to launch a mega project and one of its objectives would be the Spanish defender. But another destination that is also waiting for Ramos is MLS.

Source: https://psgtalk.com/2023/01/report-sergio-ramos-could-reunite-with-former-real-madrid-teammate/

The league has been getting a lot of attention since Ronaldo moved to Al Nassr, I can see Sergio Ramos playing in the Saudi Arabian league after seeing off his contract at PSG, I don't think PSG will offer an extension to Sergio Ramos and for a player of his calibre it is most likely that a club from Saudi Arabian league will be interested in signing him. If a good offer comes I'm sure Ramos will be happy to accept the deal.

This is good, because right now they are targeting players who are famous and who are not very well treated when they reach a much older age, however certain players when they are offered a contract with a large amount of money that they can pay them is something that makes them think and when compared with the salaries of other leagues, even in the MLS itself, then it is obvious, they will go to Arabia, because Arabia is being very intelligent, first they catch the most famous, and I am sure that once they have the enough fame will go towards the search for young promises offering them very high salaries, and I think it is very difficult to say no to money, in the same way these players are going to make the level of football grow.

Casinos always take great care of their reputation, they know that through an app you can have more vulnerabilities and it is difficult to protect from there, however there are casinos like bitcasino.io that have their own app.
The problem is that they can have not enough money to hire quality professionals but they want to attract more gamblers. They spend money they can afford for development and think that this app is good enough. But they don`t know that it can has vulnerabilities.
The good app is useful for the casino, but when the casino wants to save some money they lose quality of the app and can get more problems than profit.
Yes, I understand what you are saying, partly when a casino decides to make an app and develop it, it has to take into consideration that the money that will be spent will be considerable, it is not just anything, because it cannot have few funds to do it, because if If this is the case, then it is not yet ready to develop as it is, security is everything for a casino, vulnerabilities must be very minimal or almost imperceptible, because it is the reputation of a casino, so I think that if we see it From this point of view, things are going to flow towards the continuous improvement of a company, and that clearly gives a better vision of a casino in the future. The more complete a casino is, the better, it depends whether the players decide to use it or not the app.

The reason why most clubs lose in matches that were supposed to be a bonus win for them is overconfidence and that was exactly what took away the winning from Roma. Maybe Jose Mourinho thought that Cremonese will be as poor as they were against Monza, Bologna, Napoli, and Inter Milan. if he will return to winning ways, he will have to learn from this in the next match.
The next match for AS Roma in the near future is against Empoli at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome which is the home ground for AS Roma. Based on the results that have been created in the past in Serie A, the AS Roma team has never been beaten by Empoli except for being held to a draw by Empoli. And this should be more motivation for AS Roma to win matches in the near future because AS Roma really needs a win this season even though conditions may not be as good as they used to be.
in terms of quality, of course AS Roma is very superior and no one doubts them in the match against Empoli but until now the problem of the top Serie A teams is about consistency, some of the top Serie A teams only Napoli have been able to be consistent so far and they are taking advantage of the moment very well until now comfortable at the top of the standings.
for AS Roma I think so too, even though it is very favorite but it is not impossible that there will be another surprise.
I think for now it is still very risky to bet on the top Serie A teams even though they are very favorites.

We have all been aware of what Mou has done for Roma, and one of the things that has caught my attention the most is that he preferred to put all his energy into the team than in his own than in Portugal, his reasons must be very strong If the players do everything as Mou says, I think they will be able to generate better football (and they are already giving results).

We cannot forget that everything depends on the state of mind and how the players can continue to perform in Serie A and they are doing very well, Napoli is the undisputed leader, in this 2023 football is very full of surprises, and I think that The World Cup in Qatar was the one that opened all hope that in football any result is possible.
