Naoya Inoue is no doubt already compatible with the 122 division and honestly seems looked overqualified even before entering officially that division. If let's say he loses to Stephen Fulton, it's just that he can't take the champion here but against anyone else in that division, Inoue can surely topped most of those. But I'm sure if he really loses here for real, the fight is a close one and a rematch is probably the next in line.
If Inoue loses this match, then we will all be proven wrong because we are expecting an easy victory for Inoue to claim the championship. I mean no disrespect to Fulton, but when you compare his record to Inoue's, there is a significant difference. So, even though Inoue is the challenger in this fight, many still anticipate his victory. I wouldn't expect a rematch because I truly believe that we will not witness a closely contested fight. Most likely, the fight will either end early or go the full 12 rounds if Fulton opts to avoid taking risks and decides to focus on surviving rather than engaging in exchanges of punches. So if there's a rematch, most likely the champ has succeeded in defending his belt. There is no rematch clause in this fight as per Fulton already. He admitted that this is just one fight and then see how it goes. He really wanted to go up in weight already and fight Brandon at 126 lbs it's that maybe his camp stop him from moving up because there is one fight that they need to settle and that is the Inoue fight. So if Inoue losses, then he will remain in 122 lbs and maybe fight for the belt again. And then Fulton will go on 126 lbs, relinquished his belt and then go for the champion Figueroa at 126 lbs. That will be the best scenario, in my opinion. We still don't know, yes, what if he beat Inoue? then for sure there will be huge money for him in the table in the rematch and if he is going to be wise and intelligent, then he might have to do that, have a second fight, but this time it will be in his own terms, like in the US so that he won't go back to Japan. Fulton is still very young, so the future is bring for him. It's just a matter of making the right decision in his career. And hopefully his advisor will really take care of him, on his career path, whether to move up to 126 lbs. |

How do you guys see game 1? It will be interesting to see the battle of strategies in this series. I'm thinking coach Spo will try to focus the defense on Murray and the supporting players. He knows they can't stop Jokic no matter who he puts to guard him so may as well let him take all the shots to tire him out as early as possible.
For the whole series, I believe it will be dominated by Nuggets. For the game 1, Nuggets probably already formulated strats against Heat since they (Heat) just came from a 7-game series. Initially, I think this year is Nuggets'. But who knows what Heat can do. It's going to be a battle of adjustments in game 1. Both coaches are great in adjustment in my opinion. It's just a matter of who execute it. The only edge of the Heat is that they have been in the finals before with Jimmy, while this is the first time for the Nuggets. So there could be anxious moments for the Denver team in the beginning, maybe in the first 2 quarters. But once they got in and settled, they might have to run and put a good double digit lead and win game 1 comfortably. |

My take is prime Josh Taylor would've easily schooled Teofimo Lopez and might take him out in the late rounds. But considering the 1-year inactivity of Josh Taylor and he admitted before that making weight is so difficult already as he aged. Earlier, the only reason Taylor stayed for 1 last fight against Caterrall is in order to settle their controversial first fight. Now I am not counting out Lopez as we do not how what version of Taylor will show this June 10. But I still believe Taylor will be the slight favorite here.
Between the two Josh is the more technical and more patient I have him winning by the decision I doubt if he can knock out Lopez he has good movement and defense in the ring, but I never rule out the possibility that Lopez gets knockout because of his impatient to attack that always causes him to get knocked down, like what happened in the Sandor Martin and Kambosos fight. Yes, if he is impatient and try to go for the offensive early, Josh being the technical might caught him coming in and maybe score a flash knockout, like what Kambosos did in the first fight. but Lopez is still going to be very dangerous as he still has the power to knockout anyone. Teofimo Lopez has huge potential but his last two fights are not good he needs a good trainer to level up his style a loss against Taylor will strain the father relationship, because right now his father cannot be considered a good trainer, and Lopez needs a better one.
I doubt that it will strain his relationship with his Father. He shows respect to Sr, but in any case, Sr should be the one to tell his son that it's time to move on to a new trainer if they lost this fight. |

Well, that wasn’t the game I was hoping to watch but now we can look towards the Finals. You always hope a game 7 is going to be close but the Celtics just weren’t having it yesterday. The Heat got it done and now they have the Denver Nuggets to deal with. I personally think Denver will win this series easily, but I didn’t think Miami would get this far.
And again, probability and statistics are on on the side of Miami, and so numbers don't lie. They still get the job done after 7 games and still, there are no teams that comeback from a 0-3 lead, almost though by the Celtics, but they just get tired or the Miami Heat find their shooting range in time as everyone is hitting their outside shot including 3 point. Jimmy Butler won the ECF MVP. |

Not only that, it will be the biggest purse of Tapales for sure and it will also be a privilege to fight one of the best and to pound for pound. Just watching how Inoue dismantle Emmanuel Rodriguez in two rounds, reminds me of Manny Pacquiao knocking out Eric Morales and saying no mas.
Yeah, it might be. Inoue fights are a must-watch boxing bout and many people will probably hype it on social media. Tapales camp will probably accept it even if they knew they will be the heavy underdogs in this match. The money they will claim will still be worth it and if they ever win it, that will be a bigger accomplishment for both Tapales' career and for his country Philippines. Yes and you can hear the tug when Inoue throws his punch, power, both hands, and it's really scary. And again going back to the Emmanuel Rodriguez fight, you can see Rodriguez face with blood and he doesn't want it anymore. Regarding ranks, I think Casimero is also in the high spot in WBO now after defeating Fillipus Nghitumbwa for the Global Super Bantam Title. The chances they will meet are getting thicker after winning 9 consecutive bouts. Maybe one more win for Casimero and they can start making a trend about their fight.
He is really being held highly by the WBO. Casimero is their former champion in 118 lbs and actually he didn't lost the belt in a fight. It's that he can't make the weight anymore. He needed another good dancing partner to bring the best out of Casimero. If I am right, he is now ranked number 5 in WBO which means he is near having that chance for a title fight. One more good fight to show how mighty he is and I am sure he will be given a chance to either fight Inoue or if I were him I would focus on getting that title first so that he will have the respect back and the entitlement to pick who will he fight himself. Good as he climb up to the ladder and becoming the number 5, just a matter of time for him to fight another rank boxer in the top. And for sure there will be hype on Inoue, so he will be back on the limelight at 122 lbs. Now just forget about Inoue for a while, he just need to get busy focus on his comeback trail and maybe if the time is right, then we will see him and Inoue fighting for the belt at super bantamweight. |

Honestly, I also don't believe the Celtics will be able to win this series. However, if the Heat players perform as poorly in the next games as they performed in the last two games, the Celtics will definitely have a chance to win this series. It's worth noting that the Celtics literally had a 0% chance of winning the series a few days ago, but now they have a 16% chance of winning it. So anything is possible. Nobody believed Boston when the series was 3-0, not just you, but Boston won the last 2 games very strong and remembered they are being the real favorites of the series. Game 6 will be very important. If Boston wins this away game, they can pass the finals in Game 7 at home. Teams that have scored 3-0 150 times in history have won, while the teams behind have never won. But there is a first time for everything. Perhaps Boston will break this series and become the first team in history to return from 3-0. Of course, for this, they must win the 6th game first, it will be a very difficult match. We can say that the mental advantage has passed to Boston. Not only Tatum and Brown, but also Derrick White and Al Horford make incredible contributions. It would be recorded in the history books as the two teams that will play the Finals have break a history before reaching it then. The momentum was on the Boston now and they have to keep that phase but on the other hand I think Coach Spoelstra should break his approach as well during that 3 consecutive won of his team. I think decreasing the minutes of Butler wasn't the best of it and Vincent should play the next game as it's the most crucial game for them if they want to be on the finals. Yes, it seems to be that the momentum has shift to Boston on the strength of their two wins in the road and at home. But still not done yet, Miami still leads the series and they are going to play at their home court next. Still the pressure on the back of Celtics to win this and definitely it will be a hard fought game 6. While the Nuggets are resting anad most likely coach Malone and this team are coming up with a strategy whichever team they are going to face in he finals. Game 6 will surely be intense and I think it's not only the Celtics being pressured here considering that if they win a game 7 will be on the Celtics home court. Celtics won the game 6 and 7 against Philadelphia and they're a better team in terms of stats afaik and I think it's not impossible if the Celtics do the same right here right now. The Nuggets are being favored, they have lot of days for preparation and they will witness how to counter both of these teams in ECF. Yes, chances of Celtics goes up with that big win against the Heat in their homecourt and they could have solved the riddle of the Heat's defense? So the ball is on the Heat and Jimmy Butler, they don't what to be on the bad side of the history, leading 3-0 and the lost 4 games, that's going to sting with the Heat franchise. Looking at the odds now, the Celtics is the slight favorite, 1.71 and Heat at 2.18. Will it be a good bet for us if we stick on the Heat ML right now? Just like what they did on the first two games wherein they are the underdogs? Or Celtics really has the momentum going into the next game, regardless if it is a road game for them as you have said, they steal one game in Sixers home court. |

I had an experience that made me think about why everyone should choose instant withdrawal casinos I’m sure there are many reasons for that but for my experience where i was gambling in a not instant withdrawal casino.
I played some slots and won good amount of money so i requested to withdraw all of it right away. After 24 hours my orders still pending so i contacted the support to cancel the request ( which was so dumb from me Xd).
After playing again i lost all that balance and i was thinking if i was in an instant withdrawal casino this scenario wouldn’t happen even that it was totally my fault ( and please no need to mention that again )
In your opinion why you should choose instant withdrawal casino instead of regular ones that can take days to receive your winnings?
I'm not really sure what casino's you played, because majority of them are providing us instant withdrawals, however, with the current network congestion that we are experiencing, there could be delays. However, as I have said, casino's know and check the mempool first before setting what fees that they can used so that there will be no delays in transaction. However, I experience the same though, I don't want to withdraw initial although I said to myself that I'm going to get the funds. But the greedy I am, I started to play with small amounts until It become out of control on my end losing my capital + my winnings. |

Finally, the fight every boxing fan has been waiting for is now sealed. I guess this is already 99% happening. Odds are already released as well.
Yes, it's already official now, Crawford and Spence has announced it to their social media already. Still, I think Crawford is winning this match. As a matter of fact, to be quite frank, although this is a battle of undefeated fighters, I don't see this as a 50:50 match. I agree with the odds. Spence deserves to be the underdog. The last time he fought was more than a year ago. And then he had no fight in the whole of 2021. In his last few fights, he only had a UD against the two Garcias, Danny and Mikey, and only a split against Porter, who Crawford knocked out.
Crawford is the favorite, I'm not surprised though, I mean he has face tougher opponent that Spence in my opinion. And that Porter fight might be a good gauge as Spence went and it was very close fight, while Crawford just toyed with Porter and even if he is the aggressor, Crawford just want for the right time to knockout and I think that is the last fight of Porter. I'm just surprised though that majority of boxing fans are not into this thread. They said that the want this fight and really disappointed that it was not done and should be announced in the Garcia vs. Tank fight, but here we are right now. I'm expecting that this thread is going to blow out. |

We are fans of different football clubs, and whenever there is football banter, we never fail to take sides with our respective clubs. We stand by them no matter what because that's what being a fan of a football club is all about - unwavering loyalty. However, not all of our favorite clubs perform well. A typical case study is Chelsea, who have had one of their worst performances this season, currently occupying the 11th position. The challenges they have faced this season are unlike any other. Just last night, they were brutally defeated by Manchester United, who showed them no mercy, to the extent that they didn't even celebrate one of their goals.
As a gambler and a die-hard fan of a club that has been having a terrible season, would you bet against your club, knowing that their loss would be your financial gain? Or would you stay loyal and not bet against them?
I think it's very different, if we look at "fanatics" and "fans", for me those fanatics are going to bet on their favorite team regardless if they are performing very well or not. And I think it's not good per se, I mean financially you know that you are going to lose but still, because you are a die hard fans and will continue to support them. But for me, it's a terrible season already, it might be better to bet against them to win some money. I watched the matched last night, and I can remember Manchester United did actually played a very good game, but when it comes to gambling, and most especially sport betting, I always try to analyze the strength & previous performance of both teams (i.e my favourite club) and the other to see which has a better chance of winning, and if I notice my club has a very slim chance of winning, I rather stake against my favorite club or not stake at all. However, I'm a fan of Manchester City & I really love the fact that Pep Guardiola has been doing a good job since we made him our couch.
Yes, and that's what we should do, analyze the game, not just because the other team is our favorite, we automatically have to bet on them. Look at the odds, see who has the better chance of winning and if we found out that our favorite team is the underdog them it is better to bet against them, in my opinion. Use our logic thinking and not our emotions when betting. |

Nah. News such as this does help Bitcoin in a PR-perspective, but it's not near huge alone to actually cause a full-fledged bull market. I remember us having a decent number of positive news deep in the 2020 bear as well, but those news did jack shit besides a temporary small cute pump.
I agree with this, and if a bull run were to start now it would be by chance, not because this caused it. Anyway and historically, the year before the halving there is usually a mini bull run followed by a fall, to get into the bull run proper after the halving. Let's hope it happens again. That's right, and if ever there is a bull run already, we will have all the signs, not just a news from China, it should be the bitcoin halving that will cause this whole market turn into green again, just like in the last bull run of 2017 and 2021. So still we're in the bear market, China will not caused any bull run, sorry to burst the bubble to the OP. But for sure, majority of us already knows, that, I mean in the beginning China used to be the hub, as they have control of bitcoin mining. But since the government take that away, there impact is less significant now. |

I think Ethereum has the potential to transform a wide range of industries by enabling the creation of decentralized applications that are more secure, transparent, and efficient than traditional centralized systems. While there are still challenges to overcome, such as scalabilityand interoperability, Ethereum's continued development and growth suggest that it will play a significant role in the future of blockchain technology.  It already transform the altcoin market in any shape or form because of their Dapps since the inception of this project. Although it has become more centralized when they moved to PoS now, but still the consensus and support is still there from the community. I guess we can't say BTC here because we are in the altcoin market. But nevertheless, it's one of the best crypto to invest. It might be not for everyone specially those who are looking for a get to rich quick investments. It will take time for bitcoin to mature and goes on a parabolic rise as it has two cycle, bears and the bull cycle. In any case, BNB, ADA and others on the top 10. Dark horse for me is GALA as it can also make a massive return and a new all time high next bull run season. |

Haney and Top Rank should be happy that they got that numbers and the money.
They cannot be happy if the expectation is high but the outcome is low. I suppose Haney needs to change his style from boring to an exciting boxer. That would certainly attract more viewers, especially if he keeps winning with his new style. Mayweather was boring, yet he was a PPV king. Haney cannot just use that as a basis, as he is not as good as Mayweather. Additionally, people's tastes may have changed since there are plenty of exciting boxers in the sport who are worth spending on PPV subscriptions. Of course in every fight PPV expectations are set to be high, but if you didn't sell well and it's below expectations then you can't do anything about it. And that's why everyone criticized Haney because he doesn't bring numbers to the table as compare to Tank Davis. So I doubt that Haney will become PPV king, no way that he can sell 500k PPV unless it's Davis that he wil be fighting next. Even if he fought Shakur, it might be the same numbers are Loma or less. You can't compare him to Floyd, he is very different when he promotes the fight and he can back up his trash talking in the ring. Haney on the other hand will have to shove Loma to get the boxing media hype on this fight. And it backfired on him as it cost $400k out of his purse. |

Let's say Fulton spoils the chance and we have Inoue that just got defeated in his first fight at 122, (although I'm not hoping for that to happen) that is a much better way because Casimero's chances to face Inoue is likely to happen much sooner especially if Casimero will make another bout before this year ends so that his ranking will increase further until he will be inside the Top 3 to 5.
Other than that, Fulton have also said that he will leave the division regardless of the result and if it turns out that Inoue has been defeated. We might see Casimero and Inoue chasing for the belts that was vacated by Fulton as I know both of them is targeting those said belts in the first place.
That's what I see too if ever Naoya Inoue is defeated by Fulton. It increases the chances of Casimero finally having that bout against the boxer who he really wants to fight for a long time. Because if Inoue wins, he will pursue the other two belts which means it will be Marlon Tapales who will be next instead of Casimero and I doubt the camp of Tapales could easily avoid that especially if they also have a chance to unite all 4 titles in the process. If Inoue wins again, he might go up another weight class so he should be defeated. Not only that, it will be the biggest purse of Tapales for sure and it will also be a privilege to fight one of the best and to pound for pound. Just watching how Inoue dismantle Emmanuel Rodriguez in two rounds, reminds me of Manny Pacquiao knocking out Eric Morales and saying no mas. Regarding ranks, I think Casimero is also in the high spot in WBO now after defeating Fillipus Nghitumbwa for the Global Super Bantam Title. The chances they will meet are getting thicker after winning 9 consecutive bouts. Maybe one more win for Casimero and they can start making a trend about their fight.

If this happened in July 29 as scheduled, it will be one of the biggest event of the year together with Fulton vs Inoue on the same week. Just imagine that, this fighters are all undefeated and most likely in the p4p rankings (maybe except Fulton).
Fulton vs Inoue - July 25
Spence vs Crawford - July 29
Now the only thing to do is wait for the announcement of this fight that it is all set. And yes, it's all over the social media now.

Now, it's the Heat and Celtics, they need to win a 4 straight to win the championship. It's a bit impossible but we can't predict the time they might still win, and it will become history if it happens.
Nope, the Celtics only need to win three straight games because they have already won one game. It's not impossible, though based on the record, no team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit. It would be the Celtics who would be the first to do so, but I doubt this series will reach Game 7. Yes, it's really hard to do it, with the way the competition is against a very tough team like the Miami Heat who stole 2 games from them in their own Boston Garden. So the Celtics will still be the favorite in game 5, however, that has been the case since game 1. Not discounting the fact that they can do it, but then against the statistics are not favoring them here. So it's going to be a very close game in my opinion in the next game and its hard to predict who is going to win. But perhaps at the end of it all, the Heat is going to the finals. |

He will be tested again by a real champion. If he struggles against Kambosos, I don't see him having a good chance of winning against a more complete boxer. I believe that Teofimo Lopez is overrated. He gained popularity by beating Loma, but his career is not going well yet. He still needs to prove himself again, and it starts with beating Taylor.
If he can beat some strong fighters with no doubts or controversy, he will be no doubt to be recognized as a really strong boxer but if he continues to struggle in his every fight, I guess your right Lopez is truly an overrated dude who is just there to fool the fans and he is not worthy of any blockbuster fight at all. if he continues to show such performance, he will also lose his value because after all, the fans need some real entertainment and therefore they wanted to watch a skilled boxer that will gonna finish his opponent with a strong knockout power. Maybe not overrated but when he move up in weight class, that's where he will have to face tougher opponents and that's what happen to him at 140 lbs. Very close but not impressive win. But the good thing is that since he is with Top Rank and the champion right now is with the same promotional banner, he was given instant gift by Bob Arum to fight for the belt against Josh Taylor. And then we will see if Teo is really and elite or just maybe a good boxer in this stack up division. |

It was reported that this fight just did 275k-300k buy in the PPV market.
Way off when you compare it to the Garcia vs Davis fight which did over 1 million PPV. And that's the difference really between a fighter that can market themselves like Ryan and Tank as against the belt holder in Haney. And that is one thing that they said against Haney, is that he did poor in PPV. But let's see if Tank or Shakur or anyone calling him is going to happen and see if the numbers will do good against his fight with Loma.
Although personally I thought that Loma vs Haney will do like at least 500k buys.
What's there to expect? I mean, it was already expected that this fight will have a much lower PPV buys compared to the mega fight that Garcia vs Davis did recently or any fight that Canelo did. Although it's a much awaited fight for most of the fans especially because Lomachenko will be seen again and many have been asking if he was already at the sunset of his career and then there's Haney that has been known to be boring because of his style. I bet at least 300k was their target. There is hype in this fight, but it can't be compare to Davis or Ryan Garcia because they have a big social media following. Ryan Garcia alone could be boasted of 1 million+ on his social media accounts. So perhaps some of those fans really buy that PPV and same with Tank Davis. Although this is a true belt fight, nothing beats a hype of 2 young fighters who hate each other and put the boxing world in notice with that huge PPV numbers they have. Haney and Top Rank should be happy that they got that numbers and the money. |

Today the market can grow again and increase more than 2%, the price that was previously in the range of $ 27K, can now return to $ 28K, this further strengthens my predictions that in 2023 the price will pass ATH in 2021, now continues to focus on buying And don't miss the opportunity.
I think a 2% price increase and a short term cannot be used as a benchmark to determine the price of bitcoin this year. 2% increase or decrease in price is commonplace and almost every day the price of bitcoin experiences this kind of price change. and it seems that getting past ATH in this year is very difficult because until now bitcoin has failed to penetrate $ 30k. Bad benchmark indeed. But if there's one thing that we have learn in this market is that everything is possible, 50% increased/decreased can be achieved. So short term very hard to predict the price. That's why smart investors are really putting their money here for long term. Or at least let's say everyone should test how a long bear market accumulation will do for us. So start in the bear market just save bitcoin whatever way it will be and then just wait for the bull run to sell and to profit. |
