I think the same result will happen, but Dubois really needs to go for a KO, and I'm sure there will be some low blow controversies again. Whoever the referee of this fight is, he will need to address the low blow issue. What is the level of low blow because Dubois does not want to see the same scenario, because he will be targeting Usyk's body to slow him down. I agree that Dubois should go for an early knockout. Usyk shows that he is at his best in the latter rounds, especially the championship rounds. I like to see this fight from a fresh perspective. I don’t see this as a continuation of the first fight. It was addressed before the fight as it is with all fights. The ref tells the boxers both in the dressing room and right before they touch gloves what the rules are concerning low blows etc. The Ref indicated that the belt line was low and the punch was on the belt-line. The issue with boxing is not all shorts are made equal. Some shorts have huge belts and a lot of boxers pull them up to their armpits giving them an unfair advantage. They should probably standardise the shorts so there's no debate along with not allowing them to be pulled up so far. IF you look at Fury he always has a huge belt with huge shorts and wearing them ridiculously high which is cheating in my opinion:   |

Tyson has "retired" numerous times. Nobody believed any different this time. My only worry is if he's "retired" for nefarious reasons. When you retire you're no longer in the drug testing pool so he could have been juicing all that time then just stop when he's officially back in training.
You nailed it! I didn't think about it, but it's very likely that his retirements were connected to his love of nandrolone boars  A really nasty strategy, but given his lack of discipline this time around I'm not sure he'll be able to get into any shape, even with doping. I am sure that when he really retires we will learn many new dirty stories, many are involved in this, but while the business is working everyone is silent. If Tyson turns up to the Usyk fight looking like Dwayne The Rock Johnson then we know what he's been doing . Probably the only chance he'll have of beating Usyk otherwise. Tyson's manager said he's signing a three fight deal with Turki so that will likely be AJ, Usyk and a warm up fight first. Tyson has mentioned Agit Kabayel as he has an interim belt. That wouldn't be an easy fight especially as he's undefeated. Could be risky for Fury. |

So this will happen before the Usyk vs. Dubois fight that's scheduled for July? I'm just a bit confused about which one is accurate, because if this one comes first and Usyk ends up losing, then that reported fight might not happen anymore. I think you need to check your calendar. We're long past April 2025 . Win or lose against Dubois, this fight could still happen if Turki remains interested in making it happen and if there are demands. But what will Fury show us that’s new?
I'm not sure how much Fury would want it if there's no belts on the line, but maybe he could go after Dubois in that scenario. They're both under Frank Warren so it should be an easy fight to make. If Dubois wins then they'll probably have the trilogy instead. Win or lose against Dubois, this fight could still happen if Turki remains interested in making it happen and if there are demands. But what will Fury show us that’s new?
Usually, a trilogy occurs when both fighters are evenly matched, or the last fight ended in a draw, and the third match is held to settle the score. I can’t recall a fight where the other side loses two in a row.
Well it also happens if the result was controversial or the fight's close. Both went the distance and Fury wasn't KO-ed and he's certainly thinking he won, even though he's the only person that thinks so. I thought Tyson Fury has just retired? Tyson is full of complaints and full of shits, when he wins it is deserved but when someone beats him, he gives excuses of being robbed. Like how can they rob him twice when it was obvious that Usyk beat him not once but twice. Let's assume this match was to happen and Usyk beats him again which am sure he will. Will Tyson accept the result and acknowledge Usyk? To me there is no need for this fight unless it is for the money. There are other deserving boxers that should fight Usyk. We have all moved on from Tyson fury and Usyk fights, Tyson has nothing on Usyk. Tyson should enjoy his retirement and stop complaining.

I think the same result will happen, but Dubois really needs to go for a KO, and I'm sure there will be some low blow controversies again. Tyson has also just self-announced the Usyk trilogy too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5548722.0Not sure if it's 100% official yet but Usyk has to get through this fight first. Recently I came across numbers they are going to receive for this fight. 130 millions for Usyk and 71 million for Dubois. These are going to be biggest pay checks both fighters will receive in their career. With such earning, I think it will be time for Usyk to retire  Yes, that is a huge money, specially for Dubois though, I mean not saying that he deserves this pot, but he is still very young and I will say that he is still not yet in his prime. But perhaps him defeating Joshua is enough for the promoters to give this sweepstakes fight for him. I'm not sure they're getting that much, though you never know if Turki is behind it. Whilst this is a huge fight for boxing fans I don't think it has huge mainstream crossover appeal nor is Dubious a huge name like Fury or AJ etc. |

^ Wtf... Again? What is it with that guy and hit n runs? It seems like he has a mean streak and he's doing it on purpose.
I don't think he's doing it on purpose but he obviously has issues and is not a good man in my opinion. He's been caught drink driving numerous times, arrested for domestic abuse, arrested for hitting a stripper and assaulting a female drug-testing agent, not to mention busted for PEDs numerous times. He's in trouble more than he's out of it and I don't think the MMA world will miss him much. Tom Aspinal said he's got an opponent lined up and it will be announced soon. Why it looks like Oliveira is going to lose? Topuria wanted Makhachev, but got Oliveira. I dont think its easy to break Oliveira mentally and make him surrender before the fight. He has been in this business for too long. He has already tasted bitter of a loss when he has lost belt to Makhachev, had tears if happiness when he has got that belt. Win or lose, Oliveira does not lose anything. Topuria instead should be worrier. New division, he is under pressure due hype and his talks.
I think it will be closer than expected but my money is still on Topuria. |

And yeah.. Jon Jones just retired. Sad.
Yup. It's official. Dana has (casually) announced that in the post-event interview, confirming Tom Aspinall is the heavyweight champion. Jon Jones has also made a statement on X: https://x.com/JonnyBones/status/1936597970947834353Today, I’m officially announcing my retirement from the UFC. This decision comes after a lot of reflection, and I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the journey I’ve experienced over the years.
From the first time I stepped into the Octagon, my goal was to push the boundaries of what was possible in this sport. Becoming the youngest UFC champion in history, defending my title against some of the best fighters in the world, and sharing unforgettable moments with fans across the globe—these are memories I’ll cherish forever. I’ve faced incredible highs and some tough lows, but every challenge has taught me something valuable and made me stronger, both as a fighter and as a person.
I want to thank the UFC, Dana, Hunter, Lorenzo, God, my family, coaches, teammates, and all the fans who have stood by me through every chapter. Your unwavering support and belief in me have been my foundation. To my fellow fighters, thank you for bringing out the best in me and for the respect we’ve shared inside and outside the cage.
As I close this chapter of my life, I look forward to new opportunities and challenges ahead. MMA will always be a part of who I am, and I’m excited to see how I can continue to contribute to the sport and inspire others in new ways. Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey with me. The best is yet to come. Most of the comments are not favourable ones, which doesn't surprise me at all. I don't blame him for retiring, if he doesn't feel like fighting anymore, he shouldn't. Nobody should be forced to put their health on the line. But he should've sat himself down and made up his mind much sooner than this. Dragging things for that long when he was not interested in having that fight was a d*ck move and a shameful way of finishing his career. Jon has severely tarnished his legacy by running away from this fight. He would have had so much respect had he fought Tom and imagine if he even won? Being a duck is gonna haunt him forever now and that's all it can be called given Dana gave him the price he was looking for but still decided to turn it down. Something tells me he won't stay retired either. I'm not sure how he can retire either given he apparently signed an 8-fight deal a few years ago and only fought twice: https://www.mmamania.com/2023/1/15/23555954/jon-jones-new-eight-fight-contract-heavyweight-dana-white-espn-mmaAnother detail that White revealed to MMAmania.com was that Jones has signed a new eight-fight deal with the world’s leading mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion, meaning Jones, 35, will likely retire a UFC fighter. If he is a free agent then maybe he could go over to the PFL to fight Nngannou but he spent years avoiding him too. |

Craig got caught making up stuff once again; this time pertaining to our very forum: --snip-- So he's still alive after escaping from UK and ignored orders from UK court. Anyway, let's hope he continue to do his "sunk cost fallacy" since most people wouldn't believe him anymore rather than doing another scam under different identity. Craig is going to run with the lie until he dies. He's in too deep and he has nothing to lose at this point not to mention being a complete narcissistic fantasist. Admitting he's as such would be complete failure and no doubt destroy him mentally so he's just gonna keep doubling down. As much as I hate to admit it his con has been quite successful so far and he's probably continuing to benefit from it financially and he's probably still hoping he can rope in even more investors along the way. He has to keep up the charade for his prior tax scams too. I'm still mind-blown that the Australian authorities haven't issued a warrant yet. I wonder if he ever returns to Aus will they arrest him at the airport. Surprised he's not in here throwing a tantrum right now.
But I best choose my words carefully, like Bettlejuice, I'm sure he will appear if I speak his name thrice.
I'm not sure he ever actually wrote anything on the forum. Although there were a couple of times when someone was trying to buy very old miner addresses that seemed to fit the modus operandi of Faketoshi. It could have just been someone else buying them to claim airdrops or to larp as an early miner, hard to know for sure. I'm sure Craig has tried to acquire some old addresses before but that could have been anyone though. Someone looking for old addresses for money laundering/tax purposes etc. |

There's at least two Cybertrucks in the UK right now, but one of those was a foreign national who had it seized for some reason. Think they're still in a legal grey area though and you have to jump through a few hoops to have them legally on the road.
I think that cybertuck is not road legal in the UK (I mean I expect it's same as in the EU). So the only way it could be there on the road would be that it's still registered somewhere where it's legal (most probably the US) and take some risks (and maybe some bribes here and there), since not every police officer knows the law perfectly and you can get away a couple of times, probably, especially if seen as a tourist. There's very little chance or bribing UK officers. That's likely a trip straight to jail. I believe one of the two in the UK is registered in Eastern Europe somewhere - Albania or something. I'm not sure what makes it illegal specifically but I think you can drive some tanks on the road as long as they have the proper insurance. I don't see how it's different from those or agricultural vehicles like tractors and other such vehicles. Maybe the loophole is foreign based cars can be insured to drive over here temporarily but not long term. Since they've got rid of that rear screen they should offer a three seater in the front. They really shouldn't have got rid of that or offered it as an optional extra. How's the Soundsystem in yours? Elon was hyping it up as being one of best sounding across all cars, but he has a habbit of hyperbole . I think a bench seat in the Cybertruck would be dope. It is the least BJ friendly vehicle I’ve ever owned which is honestly unacceptable for a self driving vehicle. Safety reasons and all that… Whatever. There are 15 speakers in the Cybertruck. It sounds amazing. The subwoofers use the vehicle’s frame to amplify the bass. It is probably the best stock sound system ever in a vehicle you can buy for under $200K. They’re stockpiling Cybercab castings at the Texas plant. I’m guessing we’ll start seeing Cybercabs roll off the line in another couple months. Hopefully Bitcoin’s price rises before they start taking orders. It's something I'd like to experience as I;'d love a var with a great surround system. Maybe they have one on show in the UK somewhere. |

Buying a TESLA CYBERTRUCK with BITCOIN The Cybertruck was unveiled at the Tesla Design Studio in Los Angeles on the 21st of November in 2019. My intention is to pay for this Tesla using Bitcoin and document the experience here for interested parties to see how everything occurred..... .....
Price of the AWD Cybertruck when preordered: 6.59229 BTCFinal price of the BEAST Cybertruck: 2.192 BTC What's the updated value today? Tesla could have made some serious gains by taking pre-orders in bitcoin. Has there been any update on when/if they will start accepting bitcoin again? Tesla has unveiled the Cybertruck Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive for $69,990.
Specs:
• Range: 350 miles
• 0-60 mph: 6.2s
• Towing capacity: 7,500 lbs
• No rear screen
• Cloth/textile seats
• No air suspension (coil springs)
• Standard bed lamps and Standard tail lamps
• No bed outlets
• Standard bed upgradeable with soft tonneau
• 7 speaker audio system (vs 15 on higher trims)
• No ventilated seats
• 18" wheels with different wheel cover design
• Weight: 6,117 lbs (vs 6,634 for AWD)
This version of the truck is cool enough, but missing a lot of features.
Since they've got rid of that rear screen they should offer a three seater in the front. They really shouldn't have got rid of that or offered it as an optional extra. How's the Soundsystem in yours?

Yeah something about the 9 year contracts and spreading the cost by 9, so it looks like they're not spending much. It's totally legal and a lot of companies do it but I guess few people thought to use the same tactics in a football club  I am surprised lots of players are willing to sign for such a long period of time. City did it now with Halaand, but he has been at the club for some years and understand both his position in the team and also the objective of the club. There's usually always buy out clauses and I'm sure both parties can terminate the contracts if they both agree. Managers are often signed to long contracts but they're often usually fired long before their contract expires. Counting the wins, LFC_Bitcoin? I know I am. Supercomputer did a 10,000 simulations and it shows we could lose the title to Arsenal in 36 out of those 10,000 permutations. Now I'm not a math guy but that does seem like an awfully high number. In 9 of those 36, we actually still beat Leicester!
More bummed out that Everton couldn't hold City though -- Moyes magic just about drying up now...
There's only six rounds left now and with a 16 point gap, so if I've done the math right Liverpool would pretty much need to lose all their games and Arsenal win all theirs for them to take the title. If Arsenal lose and Liverpool win today then I think Liverpool will be champions already. I expect both to win but both opponents are facing relegation. If Leicester lose to Liverpool then I think they get relegated too so that could be a fiery game to watch. |

Arsenal dropped two potential points with the draw today so if Forest win their game that will put them two points behind Arsenal for second place. Not sure if it was said already in the thread - couldn't find it but to be fair I haven't really tried as well.
Anyway - KDB announced he's leaving City at the end of the season.
Bittersweet feeling, he's one of my favorite players, but you could see it clearly this season that his time has come - he was below par in the majority of the games he's played in.
City basically doesn't have anybody to replace him, I hope they get some kind of transfer ban otherwise they will surely go for Wirtz - another player I truly like and who would fit perfectly into this City team.
Is he retiring or off to Saudi Arabia? From the announcement it kinda seemed like he was retiring from football, but maybe he doesn't want to say where he's going yet. |

I don't know how someone unknown will have a birthday. If you know someone's birthday it means you know the person. Like in this forum, I don't know the age of many people because I don't know them. I don't know how Cointelegraph knew his birthday and there is no link to read about this perceived important age.
In any case, if they have facts to prove that they know when he was born, I will say happy birthday to him. Half-century is a landmark age, and I am also moving towards it.
Edit: I just saw that the article said " reportedly born" which means they are not sure of this information.
Nobody knows his birthday, but apparently April 5, 1975 was what he had on his P2P Foundation page and as such people have turned it into a day of celebration in honour. I'm sure that's not his real birthday but symbolic of something somehow. Today marks what crypto enthusiasts celebrate as Satoshi Nakamoto's 50th birthday, according to the birth date the mysterious Bitcoin creator registered on his profile for the P2P Foundation—a nonprofit organization dedicated to researching and advocating for the adoption of P2P solutions.
Based on his profile, Satoshi was born on April 5, 1975. That is, of course, as unverified as most of the lore surrounding the Satoshi saga—and the date carries symbolic weight that crypto historians find too perfect to be coincidental. https://decrypt.co/313481/happy-birthday-satoshi-nakamoto-bitcoin |

Congrats to Nottingham Forest for another win! Stupid me, I forgot to post predictions in superbru yesterday for first three matches in Premier League and I only have 2 points  That is the problem when you take part in many competitions, you sometimes cant keep up with everything. I wont cry much, there is still time to collect more points and save my honor. I came here to post for people not to forget that the new round starts today, but then saw that there was games yesterday haha. Looks like I put them in before the international break. I should say luckily but I only got one result right haha. Glad forest won even though I went for the draw. It's going to be interesting if they keep winning and Liverpool drop any points. 13 points in front with a game in hand so they should be ok even if they have a wobble. |

Last year, a campaign manager sent me an uncolicited message for a contest scheduled outside this forum. They did because they knew I had participated in a similar contest in-forum. The rule should be to send to ONLY members you're sure would be interested in the contest. This is the best option if you want to avoid sanctions. Another alterntive is to announce the contest in the service board, posting link to the contest website. I've joined a contest the organizers posted this way. By the way, OP I'm interested in your contest do send me a PM. You can bet I'll participate if it's something I can do.
Kinda hard to judge who will 100% be interested in it though. You might have participated in their giveaway before but that doesn't mean you will be interested in further promotions. Most times people think they're doing a good thing by alerting you to a promo but if that person reports it for whatever reason it can have consequences. I often get offers for new signature deals and I'm thankful to receive them but if I or anybody else felt like a bit of an arse that day a report can get that person a ban, which is often harsh in my opinion. On other forums I've been on before there was an option to put a warning message before someone PMs you and people would often put no spam or unsolicited messages etc. I think that would be a good addition to this forum and also serve as a warning to others about potential spam as many are not aware of the potential consequences of spam PMs. |

What an idiot Milei is. What was he even thinking? What's alarming is how easily these cryptobro pump and dumpers have got to world leaders and how easy it is to get them on board. the team behind this shitshow are claiming it wasn't a rug pull, but just a launch plan gone wrong because of snipers. but we all know the truth, this was a scam like all the other coins.
What they mean is they didn't expect it to collapse as quickly as it did and are now panicking. Normally these coins last a little longer before they're dumped but this was over within 24 hours. poor Javier got involved with shit he does not understand by endorcing this memecoin and he is getting fucked for it. he should have asked Trump for some advice, lol.
i don't think he even made any money out of this, did he? If he did make money out if than he should be investigated and held accountable. From the most recent coffeezilla update it seems that they had an in with Milei's sister who may have persuaded him to tweet about it so maybe he did it for free but she took the cash https://youtu.be/Ud6GuH7gSDw?si=OAhnJ_GstYN4tFTG |

Went for mostly draws yesterday as most games were hard for me to call and didn't get any of them. The only one that ended in a draw was the Villa game, which of course I didn't pick. Guys do you think the fall of Nottingham fortress is going to continue?
They lost a match against Fulham today and I think it is going to be harder for them to keep holding in third place, Man City is just 3 points below them.
I went for surprise away win and lost some points there, but 8 points is not terrible if I win more points tomorrow.
I was surprised they were able to sustain it for so long. They've got a few tough games coming up though against Arsenal and both Manchester teams. Would be interesting if they can grab points from them. If they won them all they'd be back in with a shot at the title depending on how the other teams do of course. |

LMAO. I've got zero points so far this round with one game left tomorrow. No doubt Chelski will lose now as well. I think I've got the wooden spoon in the bag. Haven't been following the PL much this year but no idea how Forest are doing so well. They might be in with a shot at the title and Man U could be fighting relegation at this rate.
