682  Economy / Gambling discussion / [BOXING]: INOUE vs DONAIRE 2 - June 7 on: April 01, 2022, 03:32:21 PM
Another of one of the most anticipated fight was revealed and fortunately it will happen this year as it's already official that Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire will have a rematch this coming June 7, three world titles will be on the line in this said rematch.

We can quite remember that Naoya Inoue have teased the whole boxing industry that he will come back and set foot in the ring this coming June and we know that is Nonito Donaire of the Philippines, although we cannot still confirm it in the previous months but now it's already settled and we know who it is.


Quote
Inoue (22-0, 19 KO) will be defending the WBA and IBF bantamweight titles, and Donaire (42-6, 28 KO) the WBC belt, meaning the fight will be for three of the four recognized championships at 118 lbs. John Riel Casimero has the WBO title, and will defend against mandatory challenger Paul Butler on April 22 in the United Kingdom.

Inoue won a decision over Donaire in a brutal, instant classic bout in Nov. 2019 when the two met the first time in the final of the World Boxing Super Series tournament.

Quote
Scheduled for June 7th at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, Inoue's WBA and IBF bantamweight titles, and Donaire's WBC belt will be up for grabs in this unification fight.

Still, there is no any confirmation that Satoshi Nakamoto will either alive or dead by now because no one knows who really Satoshi Nakamoto is. I mean there's a lot who self-proclaimed that they are Satoshi but none of them provide a convincing proof. I still wanted to know the real Satoshi, I wanted to see his face, I wanted to hear how he talk and personally hear from him how he made bitcoin, what makes him decided to invented this digital crypto because this is so far the greatest financial revolution..
All of us wants to see if what is satoshi's real face only because we are curious because the guy haven't appeared for such a long time after he created btc but for the way he talk? you can imagine how genius people talk. Words that will come to his mouth can be pretty advanced that you won't understand most of it.

It's also obvious on why he created bitcoin. He might be an anti bank/fiat or anti centralization/government. It was a good run at the start because btc is fully anonymous and decentralized but later on it isn't anymore. I think when satoshi found this out, he will feel a little disappointed. We are still proud of him because btc is too useful and help many lives.

I admit that in the past, I also wanted to see what's the real face behind the name Satoshi Nakamoto or if it's a he or she but later on, I understand why SN have chose to disappear all of the sudden leaving all those bitcoin in his wallet untouched for 2 decades now.

Honestly, let's just stop thinking about that because he/she chose to be unidentified and stay anonymous about the famous cryptocurrency he created, so let's respect that. He/she already helped us big time and if he/she wanted some credits about bitcoin then I think he/she have already identified his/her name and other details.

If he/she is still alive until now then there's no way that he/she cannot know about what's happening.

You mean prime Canelo? Yes, you have a point. Well, if that happens then it's quite clear that GGG doesn't stand a chance to defeat the current Canelo as he don't got what it takes anymore. So a trilogy will be nonsense to even bother make it happen.

Canelo is just 31 years old so we can take that factor that he's on prime. It's an advantage over a 40-year-old GGG. If Murata will defeat GGG, non-sense to fight now with Canelo if he can't handle the types of Murata, how can he defeat Canelo which is currently powerful at this stage?

GGG will be tested by Murata. It can also be considered as his training before facing the stronger Canelo.

We all like to see the trilogy. GGG has to pass Murata if he really likes the third fight with Canelo.

Indeed mate, Canelo is currently on his prime and his flames are still burning on its maximum volume. So, GGG here have to figure out some way to pass this test against the 4 years younger Murata who is also a decent fighter and we'll see how would he respond to Murata's movement.

But I really do think that GGG will somehow succeed in this fight because he's been calling a trilogy for years now and now that he have it. He couldn't afford to lose in this fight in-order to make that trilogy happen. Although, we can predict that there's some changes on GGG but we will see this April soon about that.

Joel Embiid carries the team in Philadelphia, but Devin Booker played such a game in Phoenix that he scored 22 points in the first quarter. In general, too many points are scored. There's no defense. The first quarter ended 39-37. The end of the match can be over 250 points. Bench players may not score that many in the second quarter. Still, it seems certain that we will see a very high number. Both teams are at the top of their respective conferences.

The game has ended in-favor of the Phoenix Suns (114-104), the game was intense in the second half. Joel Embiid was the highest pointer in the both teams but sadly they cannot just steal the lead because the Sun's ball is really shared throughout the team and it's hard to know who will make the shot and almost everybody is shooting downtown. After the 76ers lost today, they're now in the 4th spot in the ECF from being the 1st last night.
688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 28, 2022, 08:52:15 AM
As I expected:

Quote
BoxingScene.com has learned that the WBA has determined after internal discussions to move forward with Bivol-Alvarez as a sanctioned title fight,

https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-bivol-wba-announce-itll-sanction-light-heavyweight-title-fight--165054

So we will just wait for the final statement coming from WBA regarding this fight. I have suspected that this is a go since there were reports about sanctioning this fight.

At least this is a good news for us boxing fans.
Without a doubt this is a good news, after all the possibility of the fight being canceled or delayed was real, as right now there is a very strong call to boycott anything and anyone that comes from Russia, so I applaud the decision of the WBA to keep sanctioning this fight as without a doubt it does not seem as if Bivol is in favor of the war and as such it would be unjust to punish him for something that is completely outside his control.

Yes it is, not just for them but also for all the boxing fans who are excited to see this fight. There is a lot of commotion happened this past few weeks about this fight not getting sanctioned or else a non-title fight, good thing the WBA have thought about this thoroughly. We'll just have to wait for their final say, but I have a good feeling that this fight will happen at the exact date.

Bivol has nothing to do with the war, he's just an ordinary citizen of the Russian Federation. It would be unjust to cancel his fight just because of Vladimir Putin's actions.
689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 27, 2022, 05:54:28 PM
Just seems concerned to GGG here how he can deal with the prime Canelo if he will lose to Murata that is not even in his league.

About the split, 70-30 split is too much. Canelo is too overrated if that will be the final split.

If Golovkin losses to Murata I don't think a fight with Canelo is interesting anymore, a loss with Murata only means that he is fading out and we don't want Canelo beat him to the pulp which Golovkin fans don't want to see if the fight will push through Golovkin should win against Murata even if Canelo loses his bout against Bivol, Bivol is better than Murata as we all can see.

That's why I mentioned how GGG will be able to settle things with the prime GGG if he can't even beat Murata.

But technically speaking, even I want to force myself to believe that Murata can upset GGG, I still can't imagine "HOW". Others are looking at GGG's age as a hindrance but I can't consider that as a disadvantage. Murata on the other hand is now also on post-prime.

We just need to wait then. It's just a few weeks waiting.

You mean prime Canelo? Yes, you have a point. Well, if that happens then it's quite clear that GGG doesn't stand a chance to defeat the current Canelo as he don't got what it takes anymore. So a trilogy will be nonsense to even bother make it happen.

Just like other people and boxing fans, I'm also quite interested to see how will GGG fight this Murata and given his ring IQ and short knowledge about Murata, I think he already figured some way how to defeat the Japanese boxer. For sure everyone is watching him on the day of the fight.

Quote
“I’m very excited; it’s been a long time. Tagoe is a legitimate contender; I have nothing but respect for him. He has an ample opportunity here; he’s been looking for a tough fight, a fight that will make or break him; and I am looking forward to a dog fight if it happens to be one.

I am not looking past him, whether people think he is a good contender or not, and I respect him, and I know this will be a good fight." - Ryan Garcia

“I want to thank my promoter Lou DiBella and manager Peter Khan for giving me this opportunity to showcase myself to everyone. I know people don’t know me, but after this fight, people will ask, who is this guy!?"

“I know Ryan Garcia, I respect him a lot as a good boxer, but he is not my style.” - Emmanuel Tagoe

After being inactive for more than a year and amid Ryan Garcia's alleged mental problems that he is facing comes a fight against Emmanuel Tagoe and will happen this 9th of April.

The two have been respectful with each other on their recent kick-off press conference with the same goal in mind and that is to win.

This will going to be an interesting fight, Garcia is looking forward to freshen up his name and defeating Tagoe will help him climb the ladder to face Kambosos Jr. while Tagoe here is also looking forward for a win to open more doors of opportunity in his career.

<=>although I'm not sure what is the initial handicap for this match.

The line was -17 for the Nuggets based on https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nuggets-vs-thunder-odds-line-2022-nba-picks-march-26-predictions-from-proven-computer-model/.. Therefore OKC covered the handicap, both the pre-game and the live betting.



I'm not surprise with the line as we all know that OKC is already out of the playoff picture, so their games are already a no bearing game, but they came up a bit competitive in this game and the high spread is just a gift for the OKC backers.

It's a no bearing game but they keep it close though, they have nothing to lose, but Jokic put another monster number just to put them in the winning column.

So I guess OKC will have to go back to the drawing board again for next season, and hopefully Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be healthy for next season. They are a young team with a lot of improvement and maybe they can make to the playoff next year.

That's what the OKC need, they have to improve next season and try to have a healthy squad. Nuggets would always try their best to win so they can have the twice-to-beat advantage, after that win, they are now in the number 6 spot but still very close to the number 5 and 4 spot.


The OKC stands now 14-32 record and on the 14th spot, they have to figure out to strengthen their team this summer so that they will have a chance next season.

Currently, Nuggets is on the 6th spot as expected after they defeat the OKC today, they will face the Hornets in their next game, still critical for them as the Hornets are unpredictable.

Thanks for the heads up @OP, a good news indeed! Although just like you, it's kind of expected that this fight will push through and will be sanctioned. The sanctioning bodies are just finding some good time when to release the statement regarding this fight because the issue is still kind of hot right now.

Right now, we have already got half of the good news and let's just sit tight and wait for their final statement.

Hi everyone I was wondering if the overall Russian-Ukraine situation in Bitcoin is now pretty low, will it soar if the whole war is resolved again? What is your opinion? Thank you.

If you look from the point of view of the long-term perspective, then you can invest in bitcoin at any time. If you are not a speculator, but a real holder, then you will always buy bitcoin with free money, as institutions do. The best strategy for making a profit by investing in bitcoin is HODL.

This is only speculative trading involves buying in some specific periods of the market.

I highly agree, investing in bitcoin is always a good opportunity especially if you are into long term holding and the specific time or its market price won't matter anymore as you are looking forward to hold it for long.

However if you're someone who's looking to make money in a short amount of time like just few months then maybe altcoins will be more suitable for you while bitcoin is still a good idea but you need a good plan for it and a timing when to buy it.

If Davis will make it in the first week of next month, then he will have a chance to help the team win in the play-in tournament.

Their chances will somehow increase if Davis will indeed return in the play-in schedule and that's good for them as they they need to win two consecutive games if they will be locked in the 10th spot. However, Frank Vogel's decision making is also a factor in their chances to win because he likes playing small. Dwight Howard's presence in the center will help them as he can really handle the team's defense while AD and LBJ will go offensive. That's if Vogel will still give Howard the minutes he need.
695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING]: RYAN GARCIA vs EMMANUEL TAGOE - April 9 on: March 26, 2022, 03:04:17 PM
I totally agree, Garcia has all the advantage but who knows, maybe Tagoe will be on his best against Ryan and maybe put everything he have in this fight.
That's a huge upset if Tagoe would beat Garcia, and since Garcia has some kind of mental problem, a possible loss might make his problem gets bigger and could end his career. Sorry, my imagination is very negative, but I'm just thinking of a possible scenario here.

It's fine mate because what you were saying is really possible to happen in this fight, you know when a boxer has got some kind of mental problems especially if it was just happened recently then his opponent will really use that as their advantage, and for Tagoe here, it is highly possible that he will use Garcia's weakness to get in his head and upset him in-order to get a victory.

Although for me the chance are very slim for an upset, by still we really don't know if Garcia is fully healthy at this point. So this fight is very  important to him because it will give a positive impact and could trigger another run for Ryan.

In interview he has talk about a possible Loma fight (this will be good), and he still wants to fight Teo Lopez at 140 lbs. But if he is upset in this fight then it might take sometime for him to recover again. So its going to be 50/50.

as we have seen in the past boxing matches, upset is very possible to happen even if the favourite is somehow seen as the dominating one inside the ring. we can't really tell their actual capability outside the ring. so in this upcoming fight, garcia should give his best even if we say tagoe is not familiar to many. it will test his caliber as a boxer if he can easily emerge as a winner on this fight and chase much bigger names in boxing.

I agree. Even though these heavy favorites has the control inside the ring and it already looks that they will win, there's still a chance that these underdogs will upset them and it doesn't really matter if the chances are slim as it is still a chance and the fight isn't yet concluded until until the announcer do so.

Tagoe might be an unknown boxer for most of us but based on his experience, I really think that this man could really test Garcia's strengths and capabilities.
696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chess online? on: March 26, 2022, 01:43:56 PM
Although as per data, he's already retired and maybe he has learned already and living somewhere else. Living not anymore related to chess.
The incident happened way back 2019 and probably after being caught you'll be forced to retire or something like that. Yes, for sure he'll go far away where he ain't much known while trying to make a living.

Of course you have no choice but to retire and make another life that is not related in chess because even though he was banned for 6 years, there's no chess tournament would be glad to have him even after the 6 year ban and nobody will trust him again in that game.

But after a year, Igors Rausis came back again to a chess tournament using another name but then again not much later he was revealed and was embarrased again for the second time. Can't blame him though because he already poured his life in the chess.

Banned Latvian former grandmaster Igors Rausis made a comeback to chess on Saturday as he appeared in a tournament in Valka, Latvia.

You can go back a few pages back and see that we have touch base this topic already.

We are now speculating on how Bivol can win against Canelo because it will be a very difficult task for him since Canelo seems to be very formidable at 160-175 lbs division, to that point that it seems that no one can beat him right now. So we are laying down potential scenarios on how Bivol can win but it will be a long shot and it's more of Canelo side screwing this up, but we don't see it happening as well.
I don't think there is  much  left in discussing this debate - both the boxers are great and they have their strengths, but like many things coming against Russia. This match will not be happening in near future. Boxing fans will definitely miss an interesting match. May this uncertainty ends soon
there is nothing we can do but to wait now because indeed as you said the Russia and Ukraine issues are still having an impact on anyone and anything dealing with Russia.
Bivol is currently in a dilemma but indeed he also can't do much now just wait and obey the rules. Regardless of what's happening now it's just a matter of waiting for regulations and decisions that will happen but as you said this is definitely not going to happen in the near future
I think that Bivol is a person who makes this fight interesting, on the one hand there is the war conflict that does not allow any Russian athlete to participate, however in boxing no one has spoken, because I know that there is a lot of money here moving, and on the other hand there is speculation if Bivol could really be the surprise in this fight, although we cannot put aside that Canelo has all the favoritism to win, the statistics now more than ever favor him, for me this will be one of the most anticipated fights.

This fight will surely be an interesting fight to watch and it's been the most anticipated fight of the year because Canelo is sure the favorite here but the people's opinion are divided too because we cannot neglect that Dmitry Bivol surely have that chance to upset Canelo, after all this is his division so he is somehow adept in this weight while Canelo may have fought once in this division previously but he is still just a guest.
698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 24, 2022, 06:09:25 PM
It's really surprising that Lakers manage to play against 76ers in close points even without Lebron James in there roster. Finally Dwight Howard, Melo and Westbrook is doing there respective job properly on this match. They finally manage to show off there talent since they are not relying to Lebron skills on this match. There's already 5 minutes remaining in the clock for the match while they are only behind by 3 points. I think they can beat 76ers this time around.

Same here, haven't also thought that they could be this near especially without LeBron. Well, if they can play like this without their highest pointer then how come they can't play like this when LeBron is on the court, right? It really shows that they've been relying a lot on LeBron's talent even though it is clear enough that he can't carry the team anymore every game to win.

Howard should have got more minutes playing center in games because he is really effective in his spot, just like how they did today.

I agree with the Howard case, DJ (former Laker), was just eating them up inside and when they put Howard, it's Joel time to be inserted in the game. I guess the mentally of Vogel to play small in no longer working. And maybe that's the reason why they traded DJ though, but they are left with one good center in Howard and then he seldomly used him in games.

Most of the time when Howard is on the court, good things happened, so he should be given enough minutes if the Lakers want to win every game. Look what happened on their game against the Sixers, Howard had 24 points because he earned a lot of minutes, so the coach should not continue experimenting, give Howard a chance to prove himself even though he has already proven himself before.

That's true, Howard can be reliable in the defense set-up and he proved it several times already but he is still underrated nowadays and seems that Vogel doesn't trust him that much because he's just getting some 12-15 minutes play in their previous games.

They should focus on winning now rather than making an experiment because they are now just have less than 10 games to play now before the regular season ends and they need to somehow improve like they did today even if they lost. LeBron needs them to be in their A-game just like today.

^^ Very very important for Casimero to not have any issues with this fight. And I agree that he has sort it out with hiring a nutritionist that will overlook everything he eat and should be making good meals for him.

So everything is set for him against Butler, only the outcome of the fight is an unknown variables. But for us, Casimero is the favorite and chances are very high that he will win this fight.

MP Promotions and Team Casimero has already sorted that out for Casimero so that he can be healthy and at his edge at the day of the fight. Overall, Casimero has prepared enough for this fight and as for his physical abilities and mental health, it's already good. The only thing left to do is to maintain his health like eating the right food that can boost his immune system more.

Few more weeks to go, hold tight people!

@OP (mirakal) which this thread should be locked since it is not really that sensible on making up some discussions in related to this fight since it wont really happen.

Legendary boxer Mike Tyson won’t be stepping into the ring with social media star Jake Paul, a representative for the former champion told Forbes
https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisadellatto/2022/01/17/no-mike-tyson-is-not-fighting-jake-paul-representative-says/?sh=6efc7fd92cf7

It is finalized and concluded that he wont be fighting a social media star. Cool


I agree, this thread should be locked/closed for good because Iron Mike already said that he won't be returning in the ring anymore doing some fights, for good and I don't either doubt that Mike's decision will change somehow in the future especially his age are also increasing as time goes by.

Many people and fans have hoped to see the legendary boxer fighting once again the ring but sadly, he refused to do it.
