It's just funny though that Prograis said that his check has bounce



https://twitter.com/RPrograis/status/1597966053719838721

So it's about a million paycheck for him in his knockout against Zepeda. In any case, I think this will be solved since he goes to the media already.

It's was MarvNation, a small promotional company based in Southern California who won the bid in this fight beating some notable names in boxing industry with more than $2 million as a bid price.
I was surprised Top Rank was not the one promoting that fight neither was Probellum (Prograis promoter). Did it really go into a purse bid and MarvNation won it? Because the original call was Zepeda vs Ramirez but the latter showed no interest in a rematch. Hopefully, Prograis and Zepeda get paid asap.

Yes, it was MarvNation who won the bid, Probellum (Prograis promoter) bid $1,060,000 and Zanfer (Zepeda's promoter) bid  $1,004,500.

MarvNation bid a huge $2 million, but as of the latest, Prograis said that he got his bread already

Here is the video, maybe the bank just didn't clear it up as early because of the huge money involved or perhaps if Prograis didn't go to his social media, the money might be delayed.

https://twitter.com/RPrograis/status/1598430284600451093
I see. I did some search too because I wondered how much was Top Rank's bid. Can't find it though. But I learned that PBC also made a bid of $1.2 million. Anyways, it's a good thing both fighters received their purse. 140 will be alive and more competitive once again after Taylor vacated his 3 belts and his last 1 after his rematch with Catterall. The arrival of Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia adds more flavor to this division. It says that Ramirez fights the winner but I think the former champion will pursue the WBO belt.

I do agree that Taylor's left over will fight against each other because of the 3 belts that he has vacated. Or maybe he has plans to move to 147 lbs as well in the future, so 140 lbs is very much open and competitive if that happen.

And as we can see, Prograis has gotten a belt already, but Taylor beat him easily.

For MarvNation, although Prograis get the money already, this could be a lesson for them to put the money in the bank after the fight before the boxer try to cash in that paycheck. And it's good the Regis has clear the issues as well so that MarvNation's name is also being cleared.

Many predict Casimero would win because they already seen how he fight and its undeniable that he's really strong and have swag on the ring that's why he really got the attention of the people. Akaho is underdog here since many people doesn't know him but that doesn't mean that he will lose automatically since for sure he have strength to defeat Casimero on that fight because he also a trained fighter and for sure he see a lot of matches of his opponent to prepare very well on their fight night.
Cant really ignore out that people do make out conclusions even if the fight is just still approaching on which i cant really blame them out considering on how we do see on how Casimero fight.
Just on the thing you've been saying that there's always a chance of upset even though Casimero is highly favorite but to mind off that Akaho wont really be on that ranking for nothing.
Climbing up the ladder would neither be simple or not but Casimero shouldnt really be that too confident and be still be careful on facing up his opponent on this upcoming
fight.

Casimero always shows his confidence outside and inside the ring, and that's why he is loved by the fans because he is not only pure talk but also more on action in the ring. As a fan of Casimero, I'm also confident that he will win and I believe that he will not take it for granted.

And wow, this fight will be 2 days from now, what a relief.


It added to his popularity during his title days; he keeps doing the talk then proves it inside the ring.
it's just a mistake being stripped because he keeps trash talking Inoue, and it's almost his chance to face him inside the ring.

Only if he manages that weight and makes that title defense from Butler, it should be a fight fans are waiting seeing Casimero and
Inoue inside the ring.

Maybe not in that division, but the chance is still open. If Casimero will make his way into this new division, then Inoue decided to
move up, we will see if fate with destine them two to fight!
If he's really eager to fight Inoue then he should strive and do his best n climbing up into the ladder and wont really be making a huge gap in terms of ranking in between both.
Yes, we've seen those dramas and events on why Casimero didnt able to fight and i could say that it is really a careless thing for their team thats had been done.
If they had just able to comply  it out or able to reach out on whats asked before then he might able to face up Inoue. Majority of people are really looking
forward for Casimero on beating up the monster but in reality this isnt something very easy that someone could pull it off.

I do agree it won't be as easy as it sound, but it seems that he is the closest that we might see someone upset Inoue, I mean Nonito try to do it, but he failed, but then everyone turns on Casimero to be the next one to try, unfortunately it didn't happen to the best weight of both of this two which is 118 lbs because we all know careless Casimero did during his reign in that division,  he missed weight and then uses sauna to shed some more weight in his second chance against Butler But that is in the past already, now he is in 122 lb and soon Inoue will also follow, and so the chance of them seeing again is there or at least for boxing fans, the hope is there.
1683  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin December price on: December 01, 2022, 09:25:17 PM
Early December began with a good movement, after the FTX case that made panic and had touched the lowest level of $ 15k but today the price has touched $ 17k, I'm sure the price can reach $ 20k in a week and will continue to rise even though sometimes there is a correction but it won't Stop the pace to reach $ 25K.
Hopefully, it will continue again and could increase to $20k but it looks like the market is facing another correction because the price is back at $16k.
But if not, the price will return to decline again and for futures traders, it is a good time to go short.
So, for now, we must remain vigilant, wait for what will happen in the market and always analyze market conditions to be ready.
And if you want to make purchases using DCA, you can wait a while until there is confirmation from the market if the market will still experience a correction.
The market is still very weak, it presented a small recovery and it surpassed the 17k price for a time but we are back to a price slightly below it, and while this can be worrying for those that bought when the price was very high and they cannot take it anymore I think this is a natural reaction by the market, since if we really think about it there is not really a strong reason why it should present an important recovery at this moment.

Yes, everyone is looking for the price and if they see that it goes up, then immediately pushed the sell button.

So the December price will still be below $20,000, and so I guess we really have to accept that fact, just one month ago we are already in the $22,000 give and take until this FTX collapse happen that put the price into another downward spiral.

Might be hard to recover from that, and with that we might be in the $16,000 barrier at the end of this year.
1684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: December 01, 2022, 09:03:57 PM
Naoya is going to fight Butler as 118 lbs to unify the belt, yes that is good for us boxing fans. But what we really wanted to see is Naoya jumping to 122 lbs, a new division for him and together with Casimero shake it up a bit and make the division very competitive with those two going up. So it's a win-win for us boxing fans for next year and this division will be watch by experts and casual fans.

No offense to John Riel Casimero but it's too early to include his name on tough fighters in the Super Bantamweight. Naoya Inoue is ranked no. 5 by the WBO right now in the Super Bantamweight. Akaho is ranked no. 8. That's already a big reason not to mention Casimero for now in the discussion. And likely, if Inoue will move up in that division, he probably ends up being in the top 5 without a sweat with only a few fights before being considered for a title match.

Anyways, super bantamweight rankings are varied for each boxing organization and I'm just giving an example that even though Naoya Inoue is still not moving up, he was already given a ranked no. 5 by the WBO in the super bantamweight. The distance is too far between him and Casimero.

But I hoped Casimero will soon catch up so that their supposed fight against Inoue will be possibly materialized.


Of course, it's not an assurance for Casimero to be considered as big name in the super bantamweight. But what he did on 118 lbs? it can't be deny and probably that his intention as well in 122 lbs. And so he will have to take the same course, built it up slowly, beat Akaho which is rank number 8 and maybe in his next fight the 5th rank and so and so forth. Almost the majority is thinking that Casimero will win and when he does, he will really send a message to this division. That's why I said that next year this division will be hot for boxing fans as there are a lot of good fights specially if it will involved John Riel against rank boxer or if the champions are willing to risk their belt on him.

I'm not sure if there is a middle ground here:

If casinos are mandated by their regulators then obviously they will ask for KYC, simply as that. Perhaps you need to read between the line what @Efialtis. Maybe in the beginning they "will not enforce", so meaning there is a possibility that they will in the future.

And how many online casinos are going to survived without KYC? that is the big question.
1686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez on: December 01, 2022, 08:27:36 PM
Ok it seems that Canelo Alvarez per this interview, says that he favored or see Benavidez winning against Plant.

Quote
“It's going to be a very competitive fight between [Benavidez and Plant.] I personally believe that Benavidez wins,” Alvarez told bet365. “I am here to face the best and make the best fights in boxing. I am interested in all those fights. Whatever leads me to make history. That is why I am here.” 

https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-alvarez-picks-benavidez-beat-plant-its-going-competitive--170770

And probably this is good news for Benavidez as he might face Alvarez next if he wins this fight. At least him and his Father has been requesting this fight for a long time. And if David win and become the mandatory for one of Alvarez belt then this fight could be made.

I hope so that Canelo won't be ducking if that time comes because after Plant, David is next line to fight Canelo. I'm not saying that he is scared but I just hope that he will face David this time and won't say again that fighting the latter won't give him some benefits. Of course, what's there left? He already got the 4-belts and the title.

But I think David have to wait because Canelo's priority for now is to face Bivol again in a rematch, although there might not be much difference this time.

Yes, it's that complicated in Canelo's end, I mean he still wants to fight Bivol and avenge his defeat, but then again there is someone in the horizon, a young lion who wants to challenge Canelo.

And now that is fight is ordered or going to be made, the winner could be on Canelo.

But let's wait, if David wanted to face Canelo next year, focused on this fight first. Let his father do the talking in the media to hyper his fight against Caleb.

David Benavidez should know that after Caleb Plant, he will have to wait for at least 1-2 year before he can have that chance especially now that Canelo is still on the process of healing his wrist. So, a tune-up fight will likely happen as the first move that Canelo and his camp would take after the healing period before Canelo will take a much heavier boxers like David or Bivol. Who knows who will have the first dance because Bivol's priority is also Artur Beterbiev (if the latter defeats Yarde on the process)

That's too long to wait, he had the interim belt before, why not the sanctioning body allow to face their interim belt holder and the regular holder to just have one belt? Yeah, we all know the answer and that is boxing politics.

So Benavidez should proved them wrong or at least forced their hands to have him and Canelo fight in the future but not that 1-2 years of waiting. Maybe if he have the chance, Canelo is no longer in his prime. Assuming David won, he should be the next fight for Canelo for the belt.

1688  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coin Lottor play to win cryptocurrency pool prize is $1,000,000 on: November 27, 2022, 08:40:39 PM
It's a pre-announcement site there are sites posted on the gambling board about lotteries but they failed to gain a lot of bettors and users I don't know if they did their research but if they are going to offer a lottery site they have to be something different from all the others who attempt, gamblers don't like results where they have to wait days or week to know the results

And if I'm not mistaken, we have seen lottery based crypto in the past, as early as 2018 if my memory serves me right.

However, it was not a click to gamblers, not sure why, but I can speculate that it's really hard to be a "provably fair" in this kind of games. Most likely bettors will fell that the game is rigged or something that's why they are not willing to risk their money on this kind of game.

And yeah, that's another thing, gamblers are impatient, if they put a pet, they wanted results immediately and not wait for days.

Best of luck though, might be really hard pressed to get someone from this community to take that risk, IHMO.
1689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terence Crawford vs David Avanesyan December 10 on: November 27, 2022, 08:24:25 PM
^^ That's part of it I guess, no one wants to accept the blame for a fight to not happening as big as this one. But at least we have heard the side of Crawford, maybe it's just half truth or wait, I'm still interested to hear though as who is that hedge fund manager willing to offer them guaranteed money of $50 million, maybe it's just a bluff on his end, hehehehe.

But yeah, December 10, we shall see if Avanesyan is really good as advertised by Crawford as an opponent. Or will it be just an easy fight for him and then his critics will go after him for taking an easy route.

You got some point but I don't think that Crawford was indeed bluffing when he told Al that there's someone out there who is willing to fund the fight, he won't be doing that just for the sake of pressuring Al and the latter is quite smart too and won't believe a single word without a proof. Crawford might have said all those words to save himself from the blaming game.

It's an open secret in the boxing industry that Al Haymon is very powerful and mysterious entity in boxing. And in his revelation, someone whisper to him, and this guy is under PBC that he needs to be careful on dealing with Al since he has no manager or someone that knows the ins and outs of boxing. And that he might be taking advantage of Al. And basically that's what happen, with no guarantee money. And that's why Crawford pitch that he knows rich personality willing to give both him and Spence $50 million, just a matter of how much they are going to split it up. But Al says no, and obviously Crawford didn't agree as well and that is why he is going to fight Avanesyan this December and then Spence moving forward with in house money fight with One Time Thurman.


What I didn't understand is Al Haymon should have told Crawford much earlier like weeks or months earlier that they have no intentions on materializing the fight. What they did was too unreasonable as they let Crawford go back and forth and wasted a couple of months for nothing. And I'm also curious on one other thing, Al said that he talked someone from Crawford's camp but Crawford was surprised because he didn't know about it that there's someone who came to Al and introduced himself in behalf of Crawford to have a discussion.

I guess that's why others call Al Haymon a devious manager, and become so powerful maybe because of this kind of move. Pushing the boxer, in this case in the corner that he will be surprised in the end and the only thing he can do is to sign the contract without the guarantee of receiving a purse split until the fight is over.

Good thing that Crawford already prepared a fight in-case the unification fight won't be happening, no one expected it for sure and people are asking why Avanesyan. For me, it's okay to fight whoever he wanted because he haven't got a fight for more than a year already, but the next fight should be at least more interesting.

As long as it is a non-PBC fighter he can fight a opponent. It might not be a name opponent, but at least a good dance partner, a champion who has a power and so we will see how Crawford boxing skills will be tested against a Avanesyan aggressive style.
1690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 27, 2022, 08:07:34 PM
Since the fight is already close and Martin isn't really known boxer, I decided to post this fight here. Lopez will fight against Martin in the next 2 weeks, the bookie listed Lopez is huge favorite with the odds 1.13x while Martin is an underdog with the odds 5.20x. However based on Martin performance, he's not really that weak since he have beat Mikey Garcia which is his biggest fight so far. Now he seems to be want a tougher challenge.

Again, Lopez shouldn't underestimate Martin.

Very interesting to see Lopez going back in the ring again for the second time this year, but then again it's a cherry pick fight.

Yes, I guess we can indeed call this bout as a cherry-picked fight for Teo Lopez but this is an important fight for him too because this will be Teo's preparation before he will face either of the three champions. Currently, Lopez sits 4th of the super-light rankings while Martin is at 5th. And I'm seeing that Teo is also defending the regular belt of WBO super-light.

Yes, sort of tune up fights at 140 lbs, this is his second fight if I'm not mistaken at this new division, and so this is a steady climb for him before he faces the real champion. Prograis recently win against Zepeda so that's another option for him next if he wins against a rugged Martin.

But let's see, sometimes this cherry pick fight backfire on them as their opponent has nothing to lose.

The fight between Zepeda and Prograis, is very entertaining indeed but Prograis dominated the fight.

There's no way to say precisely how much the price of BTC will decrease from this point or how long it will take for your position to close at a profit. The market is in a downtrend, and although there are some positive signs the Lightning Network, for example, nothing is assured in crypto trading. Depending on the leverage level you used, it could take quite a while before your position turns a profit.

It's pretty obvious that we won't see a position to make a good profit at the current price. Yes, it's down right now, and investors doesn't want to leverage their money on FTX token. Not sure though why you mentioned Lightning Network? it has nothing to do with short position that the OP is asking.

Yes, it's good that the implementation of LN is underway, but nowhere near what we are expecting to happen this year as we are in center of bearish market.

Worst of all, next year this sentiments is going to continue. So taking position right now takes a lot risk.
1692  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: MetaMask Tracking IP Address on: November 26, 2022, 09:06:41 PM
Did metamask ever block IP addresses from Russia when the new war broke out at the beginning of the year? I think they collected this data for a long time and didn't tell us, but glad they finally admitted. For this problem, just have a VPN software that we can easily solve all, nothing too serious. But I would consider choosing another wallet which is more secure.
MetaMask does not block the IP addresses of Russian and Ukrainian users, nor does it freeze their wallets, and I have never heard the news that MetaMask handed over someone's wallet to any government entity, the good thing about this wallet is that it does not store user data, and I see that it does not track the full IP address of the users, and even if this happens, by using a VPN, you can change your IP, and thus the privacy problem has been solved.

For me, MetaMask is one of the best wallets that keep users' privacy and doesn't require them to pass KYC or anything like exchange wallets.

Maybe I'm a bit confused, it wasn't metamask that blocked IPs from Russia but coinbase that blocked wallets coming from Russia. They don't require KYC doesn't mean they don't track you, they can track your IP address and ETH wallet means they have the right to block your transaction and if you are shady or involved to crime, they will give your IP to the police. Isn't that an invasion of privacy? i also use etamask but now it's not decentralized anymore.

I don't think that they have been decentralized in the beginning? I mean they say that they have been taking logs it's that they just put in it their ToS or something and that is why there is a big uproar right now. And that is why I said it's better to used VPN, but still though, everyone is being tracked and log once we get connected, from Google to Facebook even here in this community our ip addresses are monitored. The thing is how Metamask will used this data at hand, hopefully they won't used it as sort of blackmail or to sell this logs to a 3rd party. And I think that is the point of contention here.
1693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: November 26, 2022, 08:55:15 PM

Well, right now, Casimero should know his place first as he is a first timer in this division and might be best for him to lower his head first because he doesn't have anything yet to boast. Not sure what happened to him lately after he was stripped because that made him changed but there's surely a reason why or he maybe just learned his lesson because having a bigmouth seems not helping his situation.

Indeed he has to prove himself on this fight.  Going up after losing the titles and the scandal that cost him his title is a huge factor that downgrade his popularity.  So he should KO Akaho in this fight to regain those lost popularity and once again prove that Casimero did not fall to becoming an oridnary boxer after moving up his weight division.

I agree that a knockout will be the ultimate goal for Casimero to retrieve what he has lost recently, except for that title, obviously. But a win is a win even if it is just a UD. He should just forget about achieving more if he cannot really do it this time as he still needs some adjustment because he haven't got any fights for some time now. Defeating Akaho will still mean the same thing, he will still go through the ranks.

Right, if he wants to keep his name of top of this new division, he should come in with a bang, so his goal is to really win by a knockout. And that is what known from Casimero, so arrogant and brandish that you hate him sometimes but he delivered the goods when he was at the bantamweight, it just he fell short of fighting Butler or Inoue.

But since he move up to super bantamweight, he need to be impressive and just not just a ordinary win because he is not a ordinary boxer. He has the talent and the boxer and I think he can regain back, at least one title in 122 lbs will do good for him.
1694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: November 26, 2022, 08:40:30 PM
For sure Spence team knows that, and Spence also throws a lot of body punch in the Ugas fight and we can see that it has power behind because Ugas will react and then tuck his elbow under him for protection.

So Spence is a good to decent body puncher, base on his stats against Ugas:

216 punches thrown, 70/784 = 27.6 %

So maybe a couple of body shots might hurt Thurman here. But still though, this is going to be a very close fight that might go to the scorecard.

If that is so, we might see Thurman getting stopped through a body punch in this fight.  If we look back on how Manny Pacquiao KD Thruman in the 1st round, it is set up by a body shot and a punch to the head.  The body shot makes Thurman's head slightly lean forward making Manny's punch deal more damage due to Thurman's head leaning forward.  Hopefully Thurman works this weakness out so that Spence will have no target to exploit during their fight.


We are talking about the about of body shots that Thurman might absorb against Spence, not injury or something. I do agree that he survived against Pacman, but as you can see he started to slow down when he is hit in the body.

Here is the video of Thurman almost getting knock down by Manny's body punch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g8152wanVI

And for the record, we didn't say that he has a body weakness, he himself admitted to that even after his last fight 9 months ago against Barrios:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRgAIzN4RDc

Listen to him post fight interview, he says that he felt different when he is touch on that part of his body, and that maybe his liver is sensitive.

And this is the video of that body shot: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JdUX1oP-I90

So it's a weakness that he has and no amount of training can strengthen his body to take blows.

And if Spence team is really that good, they will exploit it from the first round, uppercut to the body, any shot that will land in his liver/stomach.


I think there is training to strengthen the muscle on part of the body but I think it needs more than two months to train it.  Unless Thurman had been training his body resistance to punches since the loss to Pacquiao, I do not think Thurman can survive if Spence starts targeting his body in their fight.  And at the video link, it seems Thurman isn't successful in hardening his body muscle to withstand strong body punches.  So yeah, I might see Thurman getting stopped in this fight if Spence exploits that weakness.

Probably train like Muay Thai boxers? I mean there are videos like someone is using a wooden stick and attack that body part. Not sure though if Thurman can absorb it as a way to strengthen that part.

He could still has that power in both hands, and that strategy will play a big part heart, Thurman has the experience. He just had to protect himself from those vicious body shot as that will be the first strategy of Spence, to soften him up and maybe the first man to stop him.
1695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez on: November 26, 2022, 08:22:32 PM
Benavidez, on the other hand is a two-time former WBC super middleweight champion, never lost the belt to any fighter though. It was all his wrong doing, first he lost the title when he was tested positive for cocaine. And then after getting back the title, he lost it again this time to Roamer Alexis Angulo as he can't make the weight.
Benavidez coming from a history of drug use for enhanced performance will still have not recovered completely, there is that possibility and in my opinion will still be struggling adjusting to fighting without drugs completely. And although he says that this fight is personal for him, Plant is the best bet to win this fight building on his momentum from his last fight, and just like his last fight where his opponent said the fight was personal too but still lost to him, Benavidez can still loose.

It's cocaine that is found in his system, not some type of Peds that usually sports athlete abuse. Maybe he used it to control his weight or just trying it out, we really don't know. But for sure it will have some effect on his body later. Possible though that he has completely stop after he was get caught in him system.

So that is very important to him, to really just focus and be motivated and regain the belt (although it was interim if I'm not mistaken and not the regular belt). And he is looking forward to fight the best in this division which is Canelo Alvarez. So personal or not, he needs to win against Plant and beat him.

Did metamask ever block IP addresses from Russia when the new war broke out at the beginning of the year? I think they collected this data for a long time and didn't tell us, but glad they finally admitted. For this problem, just have a VPN software that we can easily solve all, nothing too serious. But I would consider choosing another wallet which is more secure.
MetaMask does not block the IP addresses of Russian and Ukrainian users, nor does it freeze their wallets, and I have never heard the news that MetaMask handed over someone's wallet to any government entity, the good thing about this wallet is that it does not store user data, and I see that it does not track the full IP address of the users, and even if this happens, by using a VPN, you can change your IP, and thus the privacy problem has been solved.

For me, MetaMask is one of the best wallets that keep users' privacy and doesn't require them to pass KYC or anything like exchange wallets.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean they are not collecting any data from you, and now that they have blatantly that they will do collect, ip address and other pertinent data so probably it's worst that KYC because they all have your footprints around the internet so your privacy has already been compromised.

And just like KYC, we don't know how they are going to used this data that will collect from us.

So probably yes, a good VPN will do when you try to used MetaMask moving forward.

I seldom see something like this

Beterbiev by KO/TKO   - 13 (100%)
Beterbiev by decision   - 0 (0%)
Yarde by KO   - 0 (0%)
Yarde by decision   - 0 (0%)
Draw   - 0 (0%)

but with this specific fight, this is 100% possible, a guy with a 100% knockout percentage against a guy who got knocked out from an aging warrior and with a jab to deliver it, Yarde talks about how things change and he is not the same Yarde that fought Kovalev, but what's the difference, he will still get busted.
s

Or simply that the boxing fans knows that Beterviev will continue with his reign of terror, perfect record with all of them by KO/TKO. So most likely this will be the case against his fight with Anthony Yarde. Although as we have said, Yarde just won his tune up fight, but he still has a lot to look forward on how he will beat a guy like Arthur Beterviev.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8B9s9z4OFE

Just watch his highlights, his jabs and then follow up with a huge knock out punch.

Watching Artur Beterbiev's highlights again reminds me how terror this man can be when it comes to tormenting the boxers in the light-heavyweight division. His punches are sure so sticky that it will always find its way to pierce through his opponents defense and leaves them helpless for the follow-up punch. And not just that, he seems to like a toe-to-toe punches and exchanging heavy blows until one of them gets down. Anthony Yarde should be prepared at all cost in this fight if he wanted to survive.

Yes, his power can pierce through his opponents defense, and in the unification fight, you can see that he was also hit with power, but he keeps on coming, meaning that he also has a good chin and that's why he can just walk and take punches at the same time, his power is really tormenting his opponent that they don't know what to do, either to take a knee and try to survived or getting knockout or knockdown. And that is the style of Beterviev, and it makes us wonder if Yarde has what it takes to go toe to toe or just cover up once the taste that power.

It's good that Casimero is just keeping his mouth shut at this fight.

Casimero has his mouth shut because he has nothing to say, what would he say? what would he boast about? When fighters have one or more belts, they show off and talk a lot to get more attention from the media and also put psychological pressure on their opponent, it turns out that in this case Casimero has nothing to show off for that reason he can only remain silent and wait for fight day and see if he can win this fight, that's all he can do

We can't blame the community if they are not used to seeing Casimero's changed behavior right now as that wasn't his usual. However, you have a point though that it might not make sense to make some noise because he is currently not a champion now. However, that's not the reason I'm thinking but because of those events that lead to being stripped out of his belt, not just once but twice.

Regardless, a bit of trash talk should be nice to start some fire. Seems boring if these 2 boxers won't start making some noise thru trash talks. Cheesy
Or maybe he learned his lessons not to open his mouth, or at least back it up, and since he has no belts right now, he can't boast of anything. He can attack Inoue in social media, but not sure if Inoue will be interested at him since he has no belt at all.

Nevertheless, if he can proved once again that he still has that brandish style and has the knock out power, maybe the super bantamweight including the champion will take notice of him. Right now, it's better for him to really zip his mouth and do the talking in the ring.

Well, right now, Casimero should know his place first as he is a first timer in this division and might be best for him to lower his head first because he doesn't have anything yet to boast. Not sure what happened to him lately after he was stripped because that made him changed but there's surely a reason why or he maybe just learned his lesson because having a bigmouth seems not helping his situation.

Prior to becoming a bantamweight champion, Casimero has been like this before, I mean willing to take challenges and then proving everyone that he is for real.

Remember that he should to travel to the enemy's territories and beat their champion, so that's how Casimero's personality is. But he did take it a notch when he become champion, and he can't shut that big mouth of his even calling Inoue.

After this, if Casimero will successfully defeat Akaho, we might see some speculations regarding him and Inoue.

There are already some video of his circulating already, and who knows, once he defeated Akaho he will open that big mouth of his and not just calling Inoue, but the rest of the champion like Stephen Fulton.
1699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: November 25, 2022, 07:11:49 PM
^^ Yes, even in the Pacquiao fight, his training or at least when he do the his drills, he is somewhat very slow and not that agile. Maybe that's how Thurman's training is, not focusing on the speed but power because he want's to try to knockout his opponent, and even before he was knock down or lost the fight to Manny, he is known to have that punching power.

So there's no difference it training at all for him, but I think he is more faster that Ugas that Spence recently beat. But has more power behind it. He had Manny in trouble in the later rounds, it's that his weakness was a body punch and when Manny hit him in the stomach, he somewhat wince, meaning he is affected.

But isn't this related to his talks with CZ about the proof of reserve that they're talking about? Maybe that's all this tweet is about. Who knows, these elite things, they're the only ones that understands each others back and words.
I don't think they're talking about proof of reserve, it's not as big of a deal as he mentioned. In my opinion, what he meant was something negative for the market rather than positive news. I think he is referring to Genesis Trading has stopped withdrawing, Genesis is part of Grayscale, they are the largest bitcoin fund in the world. This is information that has caused extreme panic for the market in recent days.

Yeah, he has talked about it before, his proof of reserves, and we have seen the addresses that had funds in it, however, someone says that it has been moved out as well after showing it. Perhaps CZ just wanted to protect it from hackers or something.

So far we haven't heard anything important from CZ, but we all know that sometimes he trolls those who fire back at him. So maybe this is just one troll that he has used against his detractors. And I doubt that it has something to do with the FTX as well.
