Prior to picking Oguni, there were two or three ranked fighters who challenged Casimero. One of them is former 118 champion Luis Nery who is ranked WBC #1, WBO #2, and IBF #7. Casimero at the moment is ranked WBO #3 and WBC #8. Maybe Casimero's team thinks that this type of fight deserves a belt which makes this a high risk with low reward. Besides, Nery is banned in Japan after being caught using illegal substances. And I doubt Casimero agrees to travel to Mexico which is also very risky IMO. I think that's the other way around where instead, the Casimero camp is challenging Luis Nery but the latter camp didn't have an interest. Anyway, doesn't matter anymore as Casimero just needs to take down all opponents on his way. After that, we should see a bright light on his career by having a shot to face Naoya Inoue at the WBO title or unification, if possible, if the monster wins against his counterpart champion, Tapales. In the past Johnreil Casimero indeed talked many times about fighting Luis Nery of how he beats the Mexican. I guess nobody is ducking between them and they just went separate ways. Also, Nery was already at 122 when Casimero was still fighting at 118 as the WBO champion. Now it's just talks about challenging each other since both of them have no belts so they also know that it may not be worth it. Both fighters were also the ones mentioned as Inoue's targets in his title defense. So the real target is Inoue for the belts and the money. Nery might have a better chance of getting Inoue first since he can be named as the WBC mandatory but he is banned in Japan which means Casimero might get Inoue first. But maybe Casimero and Nery will finally fight each other down the line but for now, they need to take a belt first. Nery has a higher ranking than Casimero, so it's likely that he will become a mandatory challenger. However, as you mentioned, he is banned in Japan, where the fight would likely take place since Inoue is the champion. Hence, this scenario is unlikely to occur. For those unaware of why Nery was banned in Japan, you can read the article below: https://www.ringtv.com/530936-japan-boxing-commission-bans-luis-nery-life/Regarding the situation, it might be wiser for Casimero to face Nery first. If he wins, he could then potentially go up against Inoue, even if he isn't a mandatory challenger yet. The question remains: would Inoue accept that challenge? And that is what we are calling, a fight between two explosive fighters in Neri and Casimero, however, it seems that this might not materialized as Casimero will face another Japanese fighter. But his fight with Oguni is being viewed my many as a 'warm-up' fight. Win-win though for either Nery and Casimero if they class, winner getting Inoue, that is if Inoue remains at super bantamweight as once he beat Tapales and unify the belts again, he might go up at 126 lbs and chance a belt. Another question is, will Inoue remain at 122 lbs if ever he had unified the belt? |

The cowardly Fury is so stupid that in the stream of his boasting he told the pure truth: "If he (Usyk) beat me it’s like ‘Oh my god, he beat the mammoth who no one couldn’t be beat!’ I’m not going to give somebody the opportunity to gain that. Hell no." https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/tyson-fury-boxing-fight-news-30820007I wrote about it in this thread, and now stupid Fury has confirmed it, although such an admission is rather shameful. So, exhibition fights, circus performances, fights with bums are ahead of us, but not boxing performed by Fury. I think you cut the better part of the statement, It would probably be a better fight if Usyk and AJ fought me both together, like a tag-team. Just keep switching between rounds. I’d actually batter them both on the same night, that’s how easy they are.” So not sure if we would to take that statement seriously though, I mean it's obvious that he just wanted some media attention because everything is on Usyk right now as he won over Dubois. And as you have said, it's just pure boast on his side, nothing else. |

We're currently experiencing a bear market phase. How do you intend to secure profits once the market undergoes a turnaround? What proves to be the most formidable obstacle in executing this strategy? If your intention isn't to convert profits back to fiat, kindly explain your philosophy regarding this choice. Newbies in this platform like me could gain insight from your past experiences.
Personally, I will go for the long term. Wait for the bull market and see how it goes for me. Others might see the bear market as enemies, on the contrary, it's our friend, why? because during the bear market, it's where we collect and save and accumulate bitcoin because they are quite cheap. So there goes my advise, just keep on going, your goal should be long term and not short term profits. If you can do DCA then do it, or if you have capital, then buy as money as you can and save it in a wallet that you have control of. |

I was thinking it was going to be around $25k-$26k before the end of this month because it wasn't showing any sign of bumping but as of 2 days back it began to go up, just yesterday we saw how fast it went from $26k-$27k in 2-3hrs I suppose.
I haven't seen it move so fast, with all these happening it got me believe that it won't remain at $25k till the end of the month and it will never get close to $20k talkless of going down to $12k. And today's going to be another bump, who knows it might even get to $30k.
Fast up, of course, fast down, well, Sundays usually go down if I notice there is a lot of BTC selling, even with small amounts in the market during that time. but, I think it's reasonable. Yes. today's increase could be a healthy sign for the market going forward and up again BTC price to $50K if possible. Usually though, in weekends, gambler sell some to enjoy their profits end of the week. But what a break we have right now, and so with that, we are back again to $27k++ and there's no going down to $20K or even $12k. So this is what you describe, fast up, fast down, but there are wise investors who knows how to take advantage of that situation and perhaps have bought a lot of bitcoin during the decline to $25k. But now, it's pure profit for them and this could be a sign that in the last quarter, possible to hit $50k or higher. |

Under 20 000 is ultimate buy.
I doubt it will drop this low.
23600 approx. is my prediction by TA.
Unfortunately, not going to happen mate, and so hopefully there are still investors who bought it when we are in the $25k'ish because that price range is no longer available for us. The price just zoom above $27k because of the good news about winning a case against the SEC regarding Bitcoin ETF review. And this is what we are all been saying, that of course we wanted to see the price go down a bit further. But those wait will also go against us in the long run just like what we have seen this month. No one expected it to go down hard to $25k, but then a quick rebound before the end of August. |

Against a team with deadly offensive guards, GSW will be forced to bench CP3. Actually, it is okay to bench him since he is already 38 and will be 40 by the end of his contract. The issue though is that CP3 will be paid $30 million per year which is too high for someone to play 20sh minutes per game, especially during the playoffs if they can qualify.
Anyway, it remains to be seen if this GSW experiment will work. I still value young Poole over CP3 but I understand that GSW needs to let go of him since they prefer Draymond.
Yes, no doubt that Jordan Poole has a good contribution to them when they have a championship run. Nevertheless, last season was very different as Draymond and Poole has a scuffle prior to the season and it set the tone for the Warriors and then they completely collapse after the first round. I thought that the issues has been solved already. But it seems that it was still very evident as we have seen Poole complaining every time he didn't got the ball and then he was bench by Kerr. As for CP3, maybe a good 10 minutes or even 15 minutes might be good for him as a Warrior as he is no longer at his prime and could also be prone to injury. I would guess that keeping Draymond is a proof that there is going to be hard time for them going forward. Why is that? Well Poole was the one that got punched, but they still sent him away and did not back him up and just wanted to protect Draymond in that situation. I can understand the loyalty because he is the guy they won 4 rings with and he is the master at the passing for klay and curry and memorized all the plays and does all the dirty things that others can't do to keep them clean etc etc. But that doesn't mean that other players will not see this and go "well I could be punched there and kicked off" and just not want to go there. I would guess this was a tough decision, they made the wrong one emotionally, but probably the right one by the team. To be fair, we really don't know if that is the right or wrong decision for the Warriors. But obviously they have a choice and they put their money on the line for Draymond Green, because at the end, maybe the Dunleavy sees the contributions of Green to the Warriors and then Poole still very young and I would say his success put too much on his head. So we will see if the right decision if the Warriors will go at least in the top 4 of the Western conference with CP3. That is the big question, but for Poole, since he is still young then he should move forward and become one of the best like Curry and Thompson. |

This is just a regular fight, I do not think that there is a huge money involved it may be a decent amount at best.
With regards to money, I think he got a bigger amount received now with Treasure Boxing Promotion than with MP Promotion based on how generous he is with his friends and families. In his YouTube vlog, he built a stable on which I think cost a hefty amount then he bought a Ford Ranger for himself, i know he can afford that one but he didn't show/experience it when he was with MP Promotions. Big name or not, I think Quadro Alas will receive a hefty amount that is stipulated in the contract. Yes, most likely this is why he sign with the Japanese, and so far they have delivered a good fight and purse for Casimero. And I do agree that he is very active this year, I remember he had one fight in the Philippines and then this one, so it makes 2 fight a year (I forget if he had one earlier this year). And he needs to be active as well, I mean Casimero is not getting any younger and so very active makes his power and reflex still at par with some of the big punchers at 122 lbs right now. |

So many leagues and tournaments across the world have resumed preliminary matches of the season, as well as bookies and online bet platforms have rolled up their sleeves in response, to provide the best odds and bet options for its customers.
For so many reasons a bettor or gambler might make a late last minute decision that can either make them win big or lose big or prevent them from losing much bet on games they have played.
In order not to over stretch this topic, I just want us to dialogue candidly on your personal experience as to the one time you were so late in making a bet, but had to do it anyways.
Did that last minute bet make you win or you lost more and regretted the decision?
How late is too late to place a bet or make a wager in both online and offline games and matches?
Are there also good online platforms or betting sites that have good last minute betting options for matches/games?
50/50, I mean I have my bets in the last minute that either win and so I'm happy, and there are bets that completely lose and I regret putting my bets in that manner. But in any case, we all know that it is gambling and so we can't do anything about it. It's the risk and as I have said, it could either go your way or not, simply as that. And for sure majority here have experience that late place bet that go either way. |

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online. He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying to sell it . Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude but i don't get why this happened for real his plan was nice trying to reduce cost of work . But what went wrong Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right  Doesn't matter though, I mean it's his business and he can do what strategy he thinks suit his new company. If he fires a lot of his employees and then give them money, then good for them. Acquiring Twitter or X right now it's a good gauge how good Elon Musk is as a business. And with so many of his haters, for sure they are all praying that X would lost in the fight with Mark Z. But whatever, lesser of two evils? |

CP3 "was" a top 10 PG, he is no longer there at all and there are plenty of other better point guards right now, the problem is that Kerr may have some problems on the long run if he keeps thinking that he could keep CP3 benched for too long, he is going to be forced to play him and the situation could be decent if curry was a good defender but he is not, he is pure offense type of guy.
What I think he means to do is to get Draymond and CP3 different minutes as much as he can, or even same times for short period of times, and get klay and curry running around and CP3 to find them open, he will be the ball arrier and pass guy, and then find people with open shots. That "may" work, but it is going to be tough to handle.
Against a team with deadly offensive guards, GSW will be forced to bench CP3. Actually, it is okay to bench him since he is already 38 and will be 40 by the end of his contract. The issue though is that CP3 will be paid $30 million per year which is too high for someone to play 20sh minutes per game, especially during the playoffs if they can qualify.

As for this fight, I don't know what's the fuss on Haney wanting an earlier date. Why not just do it in the middle of November something to give Prograis enough time to prepare? Haney is still very young but he is becoming like a b1tch already trying to exploit his opponents. As if he is not boring to watch.
He's the challenger, yet he seems to want to dictate the terms, which isn't a favorable approach. His demands come across as rather assertive, as if he's confident he can defeat the current champion. Without a doubt, he can be seen as a bit unexciting, but considering his objective of moving up in weight to contend for a championship again, it's clear he's taking on risks. Despite this, he should still show respect for the current champion and adhere to the terms that have been agreed upon. It's worth noting that it wouldn't be an issue if Prograis' camp is amenable, but ensuring both fighters have ample time to train is crucial. This helps avoid post-fight excuses from the loser. Hmm, not sure about it as well, not that I want to insert religion here, but Haney is Muslim isn't it? Maybe there is some some kind of requirement for him to do before the actual date or after the date of the fight that's why he needs to adjust it. But in any case, we really need to see this fight, currently I must say that Regis is one of the best if not the best champion at 140 lbs. I will not consider Teo Lopez a full fledge champion although he beat Taylor, but Josh was just weight drain and week at 140 lbs already. |

I wonder why Casimero accepted this fight, This Oguni is an unknown boxer I can hardly see big fights of this Japanese fighter, he has a record of 19 wins 1 loss, and only 7 knockouts, the guy is slow and cannot be considered a power puncher here is one of his fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvdNnq7EE3oWe can understand if Casimero is coming from a loss, to take an easy fight like this but he is not, Casimero will not gain anything here while his opponent can gain a lot if Oguni upsets Casimero although its unlikley but possible. Most likely this is just a stepping stone for him, not saying that this is an easy fight, but he needs to be active and to show that he could or should have a been given a chance to fight for the belt at his new weight class. So if ever he wins this one, then for sure, early next year his rank will go up and most likely might be set up by his Japanese promoter to fight for a belt. Not necessarily Inoue, but it could be easily made as he is being manage by a Japanese so it could be done easily. |

What can you say though about Robert Helenius being tested positive for a ban substance when he fought Joshua. If we can recall, it was supposedly Dillian Whyte as the original opponent of AJ but he was tested as well. As just confirmed by Matchroom Boxing, Robert Helenius was found to have an adverse finding during a drug test leading into his knockout loss to Anthony Joshua. Matchroom’s statement indicates that Helenius was tested by VADA the day before his fight with Anthony Joshua on August 12, but that they were just made aware of the finding today. https://www.badlefthook.com/2023/8/25/23846579/robert-helenius-tests-positive-banned-substance-leading-into-anthony-joshua-fight-boxing-news-2023But as usual Helenius says that he hasn't done any drugs and that he is innocent of what has been accused of him and he also said that he is not a cheater as he has been tested throughout his career. |

Here is another fun fact from NeonMan himself,
The record attendance for a FIBA game was 25 years ago, Dream Team II at 32,000. While the Arena in the Philippines and the attendance there was 38,115 fans rooting for Gilas to win, unfortunately, KAT was too strong. Kai Sotto try to guard him but it was clearly a mismatch.
But the good thing about KAT is that he recognized and respect the efforts of team Philippines.

^ Tapales is still a champ which is why Inoue is interested in unifying. Tapales whether he is interested in legacy or not, can demand more cut for himself otherwise Inoue can't build the reputation he wants in this division. Inoue will be willing to give him for the unification to be done. For Tapales, he certainly will have doubts whether he will win but while he is to think of losing, he might as well just think of making money instead. It's a money grab, if I were him I would even bet for Inoue to make more money and plans to be KO in a particular round.  And that is the business of boxing now, I mean yeah, you can say that they are looking for their legacy, but for me, it's obvious, if they don't like the money that they have been offered, then they will not go and fight that guy. Marlon Tapales is a unified champ as well, he holds the other two, and although as we have said, his chances are very slim. But he is willing to take that challenge just like the other fighters that Inoue has face. But here, he has to be paid good as well because he has the belt that Inoue need to complete another weight class that he will unified. |

Bitcoin is now trading at $25k level and it looks like it might going to fall even more, but I don't think it would fall further than $20k either. It's not really a bad thing to happen when bitcoin price didn't meet your expectations, like a $30k breakout. Well, this have happened before the bitcoin halving, bitcoin tends to pull back, maybe there is a manipulations going on as someone (most probably the whales) are trying to trick the mediocre investors to sell their bags as the price falls down. Only the weak hands will do that, we have to understand that any event in crypto that could potentially initiate a bull run, there are always FUD that's going to happen to try and pull the price back as much as possible for the other experienced and whale investors to accumulate more at a lower price prior to the bull run.
This happens in all markets, it is just that it is more notorious here due to the volatility of bitcoin, retail traders need to get used to the idea the whales are trying to get their coins, and while the number coins a retail trader is holding on his own is very small, if a great number of them sell at the same time then the number of coins becomes big enough for whales to act, so they are trying to scare weak hands into selling their coins, and unfortunately they we are successful this time around, otherwise the price would not have taken the dip it did if retail investors did not sold their coins as a response to this movement. Exactly, the volatility of this market can't be compare to any other specially traditional financial markets like stocks because we can go up and down very quick in less than 24 hours and then bounce the next day. And that's what makes traders love or hate this market because of that kind of jump in prices. But for those who are simply just stacking stats and nothing else, then it will be all good as we will go through all hell in this bear market, but then again, in the bull run it will be all joy to us. So let that be a lesson for everyone that this might be a surprise dip, but nevertheless we will all go bounce back. |

Canelo's style could not beat Floyd's, even when both of them were in their prime. Personally, I believe the only boxer who gave Floyd problems and could have beaten him, if not for biased judges, was Maidana. He frustrated Floyd with his style, as his punches came from unusual angles, and Floyd's defense was less effective during that time. But anyway, that's in the past already. Floyd remained unbeaten and retired, still being known for his defensive approach, which some found boring.
I might agree with you on that point, as there were boxers who we believed could defeat Floyd Mayweather, particularly Pacquiao, yet Floyd managed to make him appear amateurish. Floyd possesses a unique talent that enables him to dominate his opponents not necessarily by knocking them out, but by outscoring them. His slick style and high boxing IQ are truly remarkable. If we delve into his fight history ( https://www.oddsshark.com/boxing/floyd-mayweather-betting-odds), we can observe that bookmakers consistently favored him in all of his fights. Only De La Hoya was able to provide him with a tougher challenge, resulting in a split decision. We will still have to find it though, I mean obviously they are in the different era if we talk about Crawford vs Floyd. But for sure this will be a great fight prime for prime. As of those who are close to beat Floyd, yeah, I do agree Marcos Maidana almost did it and maybe he pulled it off and in the rematch, it was a totally different fight and Floyd won clearly. Another boxer is Sugar Shane Mosley, he rock Floyd with a right hand and it was the first time that we saw Floyd holding because he felt the power and almost goes down. So for me, Floyd doesn't have a good chin, except that no one really can touch him because of his reflex and good defense. |

New York Times is reporting a quote from Giannis Antetokounmpo where he alludes to signing with a new team for the first time ever. Definitely trouble for the Bucks. He’s going to play for them this year, but to me it sounds like he’s preparing them for a departure after the season. If he goes to the Warriors and pairs with Curry, it will be the greatest team ever built.
I don't see why he would be leaving the Bucks. I mean maybe there's internal struggles we haven't heard about, or perhaps things I simply haven't heard about, but lets say he does..greatest team ever? I think that's a bit of a stretch. Curry is getting old, and although he's still the greatest shooter ever, he's getting old. Klay isn't the same player he use to be either. No way that team is better than the 72-10 Bulls. Though of course I am biased. I think the reason he will gonna leave bucks is because they been beaten by 8th seed. He's just bitter he can't do what he do before. Joining a warriors for what? I don't think he will be playing on warrios though but who knows. curry will retire anytime soon once he became a hall of famer. I'm thinking that maybe he don't have any plan to leave Bucks. He just want to challenge his management and his teammates since just like what you said that is really a frustrating lose they encounter last season. Many think that they finish strong and can reach the finals but unexpectedly they are been eliminated. But if things fall in bad place maybe he might really do that but I don't believe that he will go to Warriors since they might lose a lot of asset just to get Giannis on their team. Yes, not sure who will be available in the trading block if the Warriors pursue Giannis in the future or if Giannis ask for a trade and wanted to be in the Warriors uniform. But maybe this is just another way to wake up the Bucks management, they still have a good rotation and solid team, but perhaps some pieces might have to move so that the team will also move forward in the future. And I do think that Giannis will be the last person to move out of the team, its not Middleton got injured and perhaps not the same again when he comes back last season. |

Surely everyone is optimistic that the price will soon pass $ 30k, in my opinion the question is when $ 30k can happen? If you see the current situation, it is certainly very difficult to see Bitcoin can pass $ 30K, it is proven that the price since March which can reach $ 30k and then go down again as it is happening now.
It might look difficult though, but I guess we have seen and surpass $30k already, so it's just a matter of time before we can go back to that price range. Maybe not for this month as obviously we have suffered a huge decline and all other gains have been wipe out already. But maybe in the last quarter of the year, we might see some change in the price and investors looking very bullish about bitcoin and then we can go above $30k again. So let's see, let this month pass by, I mean we don't want to see a decline but we have to take everything in stride and just remain calm. |

So it's good to hear that Inoue is still interested on the fight and should give Marlon what he deserves in the negotiating table. Maybe just enough for Marlon and his camp and be satisfied of the pay check that the Inoue camp is offering.
Inoue's camp is just trying to delay the negotiations a bit, as they know Tapales would be willing to fight if the price is right. Tapales was the underdog when he won the championship, so it's obvious that he is not a popular boxer. However, since he has become a champion, which Inoue is very interested in due to the opportunity to get his belts, that's why he's standing firm with his demands. It's a good thing that there's now some hope of it happening. Inoue's goal is to unify and then move to another weight class to unify again. He is already 30 which means time is of the essence for him and if Tapales wants to make a ton of money he definitely needs to raise his cut. It's a one-time opportunity for him as this kind will not come again. Tapales has skills but it's no match to Inoue. But he is more interested in making a record. He had to keep moving up and get as much belt as possible until he reached the size where he won't be able to resist a punch coming from someone from a heavier class. Tapales chance to make money is in here. I mean, if he wanted to have that luxury, demanding for a much higher cut is what he needs to do, as Inoue is really aiming for a good legacy. And he has all the rights to demand as he has the other half of the belt here. And maybe yes, he is thinking about the money and how it can change his life and his family back in the province of the Philippines. And it's good to know that MP is also working hard for him to get Tapales that needed paycheck against Inoue. Unifying all the belts from a current division that he's on now will be his target, and like what you mentioned, he will keep on trying to win more
and to move forward if opportunity will be open to him, Inoue will take every chance he has to win more belts from a different division.
And we have to think about it, Tapales might have a slim chance to unify the belts because he is fighting Inoue. But at least he will give it a shot as he is familiar to be being the underdog again and then pull the biggest surprised. |
