Not to mention the number of times he's been in five-rounder fights. He's probably four/five fights away before we start seeing more serious damage (career ending type of injuries). I hope he gets one last shot at the title before that happens.
Yair Rodríguez took a lot of damage as mentioned earlier because whenever he fights you tend to see a war and that is what we saw in this fight as well and he cannot sustain this kind of damage for a long time and he needs to learn striking defense rather than exposing his chin to a lot of shots.

~
to fight one more time to finally conclude his career to fight in the UFC and live his life to the fullest unless he got some opportunities to be one of the trainers of the next UFC champion. It's been a long road for Nate and his batch has already been out of the league. maybe UFC will honor him as one of the Hall of fame when he finally steps down in the ring.
Dana White does not mind giving Khamzat Chimaev to Nate Diaz, but i think he needs to give him a break for his final fight and ask him to pick a fight he likes to fight rather than forcing him to fight the wolf.

Winning toss and choosing fielding first also more important. I guess in this tournament Bangladesh and Afghanistan had chosen to bat first after winning the toss but ended up losing their matches if my memory serves be perfect. I am also in plan to bet after the toss but we need to remember that in the IPL final, CSK won the title after batting first on the same venue. So, we need to be prepared to face all kind of results as well.
Winning the toss and fielding first is the safe bet. Yes i remember the IPL final but the difference was the high score, chasing 192 runs will put pressure on the batsman and we have not seen matches in the World Cup where the team is constantly scoring above 180 runs. Anything above 180 runs then it is a different story, anything below that the team can chase if they have wickets in hand.

Absence of Convoy might be getting them negative impact to New Zealand in my perdition. Still, bowling attack in terms of both pace and spin, I guess New Zealand is in better form than Australia in my opinion.
It is unfortunate Devon Conway broke his hand and will miss the final, not sure who will be in the team as his replacement. I give the advantage to New Zealand and hopefully we will see a competitive match.

Shakib ul Hassan saga is also having very serious impact on this team performance he was a good player but just because of his behaviour now he is losing all respect and better future right now he is gaining money nothing else good in his credit.
The only concerns is his physical fitness, he was injured during the World Cup which had an impact on how they performed after that. I am not sure about his behavior and whether that is having an impact. He is the best player from Bangladesh ever and he should be given that respect which i think is lacking from the administrators as he is always fighting with the board.

~
So far Pakistan has announced only T20 squad. Hassan Ali is still part of the team, the only change is Hafeez is replaced by Iftikhar Ahmed. Hafeez voluntary refused to be part of this squad, leaving slot for young player. I was hoping same from Malik but he is going with squad.
It very sad to see Bangladesh team not performing good in any format. Hope they will take this opportunity to revive there performance.
Hasan Ali had a bad tournament but he was performing well before that, you should not crucify a player from one bad tournament and more over the UAE pitches were not helping seam bowlers, you need to be express quick or have subtle variations to be a good bowler in those pitches.

Shoaib Malik and Hafeez must be given the freedom on what they want to do with their career. You cannot replace them all of a sudden because of age, they are still performing well and if Pakistan can find a potential player that could replace him, then we can think about replacing him.
1704  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH OR BSC on: November 14, 2021, 05:47:39 AM
Of course fee-wise BSC wins, even though in some far future ETH might be cheaper again. The question is also whether one wants a more centralized platform (BSC) vs a more de-centralized one (ETH)
It is a long hope to expect that Ethereum fees will be lower ever again, they are planning radical changes which is a high risk move changing the consensus mechanism and you never know what all bugs we will encounter, despite these changes i do not believe that the issues will be sorted. The solution is having multiple chains and everyone sharing the load so that the network does not get congested.

Pakistan is a far better team than Bangladesh. They will easily win the series the T20 series. About the test series after the recent win in the T20 world cup, the team will be full of confidence and I am sure they will try to win the test series too but in the past, they have played very badly the test format. So it is a dice situation but we will be enjoying some good cricket.
If Pakistan is playing with the same level of intensity that they displayed during the T20 World Cup they will defeat Bangladesh without much struggle. I am not sure what are the major changes in the team for ODI and Test but still Pakistan have a good team. The strength of Bangladesh revolves around certain players especially Shakib Al Hasan to deliver and if they fail the team will be in trouble most of the time.

^  Lol no way Diaz is taking that match up.  I was not really too high on Chimaev last year but after wining vs Liang like it was nothing..  We could be seeing somebody exceptional here.  Kinda like another Jon Jones or a Khabib.
I am in the Khamzat Chimaev train well before he entered the UFC and unless and until he faces top 5 fighters he will be having a free run finishing everyone, in one of his early fights in his career he got clicked once and got rocked but he went into wrestling mode and finished the fight. He improved a lot from that but i am really interested to see how he copes when he faces tough competition and he could be the next superstar.

I am honestly only waiting for main event and I even places small bet on Yair Rodriguez to win, and fight to go to distance.
It's true that Holloway is a big favorite but I think other fighters learned his weak spots and I think underdog can surprise him today.
I am seeing many picking the fight to go the distance but i doubt that. Yair Rodriguez is returning after a long break and it is difficult to know how much he improved and he usually get hit a lot when he is facing technical strikers and Max Holloway is a technical striker and i expect a bloodied Yair Rodriguez at the end of the fight.

Why else would you put yourself through that?  These fighters are putting their health on the line.  Mike Tyson even said he used to cry before fights because of what he knew he was going to do to the other man in the ring.  He literally had a traumatizing moment before every fight that most kids today would probably be seeking PTSD medication for.  It isn't something he wanted to do or enjoyed.  He hated hurting people and talks about it quite openly nowadays.  Now that Mike has become a serious businessman and could use funds for investing in himself, this sort of fight is like a lifeline for him.  It better be about money, because I am a huge fan of Mike and want to see him have all the success in the world and for him, the future isn't in the boxing ring, it's in the boardroom. 
I am following his podcast but i have not heard about Tyson saying that he would crying before the fight, but he used to be terrified about the fact that anything could happen in a fight. From what i heard he usually views himself alone fighting against the world and he is a really knowledgeable person when it comes to fighting and in his early days Tyson used to workout like anything knowing that his opponent will be doing the same.

In one of his podcast he even says that, in the later part of his career he knew that his opponents were scared about facing him and that is when he stopped training hard. Boxing is like a rush for Tyson and i want him to enjoy life rather than boxing at this age.
1708  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Where is BNB going!!! on: November 13, 2021, 04:07:43 PM
I shared my comments about BNB that it will be 600 dollars until the 15th of November. I have a guess that he will be excited with the cryptos that football clubs have released lately. I think it could be $750 by the end of December.
I did not understand what you are claiming here about football clubs. Did any of the clubs released a token on top of BSC chain and if so which one is that.  Right now the price is around $650 and it is possible that we might see the price reaching $1000 before the major correction but all these speculation depends upon how long the bull rally will continue.
1709  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if $70k was Bitcoin ATH for the year? on: November 13, 2021, 11:44:01 AM
Will you be satisfied if 2021  ends with an ATH of $70k for Bitcoin. Will it make you more richer or it wouldn't add any value to your intial capital.
Will you regret you joined the trend late or  would you be glad you bought when the  market did a retracement? Or you are still staring at Bitcoin with some sentiment
Even if the price crashed majority of the investors had their initial capital long back, i was fortunate enough to get in the market literally early and i never thought that the price would reach this level in 2021 and i consider it as a huge bonus and i already booked my profit in this fiscal year and i am looking at how long the market would rally and then take my position accordingly.

It is not compulsory that the team batting first need to set a target of more than 180 runs in the final. T20 is unpredictable, the team that plays well will always win.
The team chasing is winning the matches in this World Cup and hence the team wining the toss will have an advantage and they will always look too chase the match rather than batting first as it is difficult to understand what a safe first innings score is in this wicket. It is difficult to bat in the first innings and as the match goes to the second phase it starts to help the batsman.

 if speaking for now I agree with you if the price of bitcoin reaches 1 million USD sounds very unlikely, but 10 years from now I'm not sure if this statement still sounds impossible. the number of investors continues to grow and the amount of supply is limited, these two reasons seem to be able to dispel everyone's doubts if the future price of bitcoin can reach 1 million USD.
I am sure there are many that speculate that the price of BTCitcoin will reach a million dollars especially John McAfee and sadly he passed away and he was a biggest speculator in the market even though majority of the things he says does not have any logic. I am skeptical on those stats that we would ever reach a million dollars per coin which means the total market capital was really high.

Btc are just digital gold (and its backing up usdt) you cant just mint usdt...it will inflate like a current fiat money.
For paymemts always good stablecoins.
I would like you to read the whitepaper once again and see what Satoshi says when he introduced BTCitcoin, even if you read the headline you will know that he created a peer to peer electronic cash system and not some bullshit hoarding asset used for mere speculation. USDT you mentioned is fishy as hell which is not even transparent and if you trust those centralized coins, good luck to you.
1713  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Musk the boss behind SHIB? on: November 11, 2021, 11:30:42 PM
So far there is no accurate information about who is behind SHIB. However, Elon Musk's support has had a major impact on the Shiba Inu. I have the same beliefs. Shiba inu will have the same fate as Dogecoin. Because it is supported by influential people such as Dogecoin. Even Shiba inu also get a promotion from binance. Does cz also support Shiba inu?
It can be a genuine doubt by many whether Shiba Inu is owned by Elon Musk because he was shilling so hard for Dogecoin but considering he is the richest person in the planet, i doubt he will do anything like that. Then the other candidate is CZ and he is a person known to copy every technology and bend to his narrative and hence my bet is on CZ and Binance behind Shiba Inu Cheesy.

What the hell just happened, Pakistan was in a strong position and a dropped catch from Hasan Ali cost them the match. They played really well throughout the tournament and even batted really well but the second last over bowled by Shaheen Shah Afridi changed the match upside down and the way Matthew Wade was able to connect the bat and loft the ball behind the keeper three times in a row shocked me.

Australia and New Zealand in the final, never expected a final between them Undecided.

 it’s logical to say that in the end Australia’s reserve player’s will go on the tour with the exception of one or two big player’s being part of the team.

Furthermore it’ll be interesting to see PCB stand on this, because if Pakistan player’s keep playing with reserve team, it’ll hurt their morale, hence PCB should do their best to get Australia’s top player’s to come for this tour.
If Australia sends a second string team why would Pakistan force them to send their best team. It is the best opportunity for them to dominate Australia and ten years from now, if you look at the records, it just says a dominating victory against Australia and it will not mention about the team strength they sent Cheesy.

Ashes will decide his career and he has a habit of giving such statements. He was also very vocal about Poms when there was some confusion on upcoming Ashes series due to covid quarantine . Dude was also calling for Ban on Afghanistan team when Taliban took over the power, guess after that Afghan captain also retaliated on his statement.
The best response was given by Ashwin in the 4th Test during India's tour of Australia when Tim was trolling him and the response from Ashwin was that his career will be over once he tours India Cheesy. The funny aspect is that Tim is vocal but not intimidating like the old Australian players who used to get under every touring players skin Cheesy.
1716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 09, 2021, 11:30:49 PM
The Indian team was playing in a bubble with their performances only in the IPL or series within the Big 3. This bubble was badly exposed when they had to play against the top talented teams like Pakistan. BCCI should need to revise their policy otherwise they will have to face similar situation whenever they will play big tournaments.
The issue i see is that the players were dead tired with too much cricket. More cricket will not help them either, they need to have enough rest and not play series one after other and expect to play at their optimal performance. Pakistan is the best team in the tournament and i was checking their preparation released by them and they have a lot of former players like Vernon Philander, Saqlain Mushtaq helping them prepare which is really great.

They are afraid of losing with their neighboring country and hence they prefer not to play at all.
This is entirely politics and i do not agree with the political agenda, sports should be beyond politics and everyone needs to play.
1717  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Brazilian Congressman proposes Crypto Payment for workers on: November 07, 2021, 08:06:54 PM
Cryptocurrency is increasingly getting into our everyday lives! A congressman in Brazil has recently proposed a bill to allow Brazilian citizens to choose whether to receive their payroll in cryptos or in fiat. If accepted, it will be an important step forward to total Bank independence.

Are you guys hoping for the same to happen in your country?
These things are good to hear, it is always great to hear that a government is giving the citizens the options to choose from cryptocurrency and fiat currency and not enforcing one form or the other. The other aspect we need to understand is that even if the payroll is paid in cryptocurrency you cannot expect that it is a move towards bank independence, but it is definitely more freedom of choice.

Caleb is the best opponent Canelo has faced in the super middleweight he is good in the early rounds he rolled Canelo's punches and he has a good defense, the fight was unpredictable going in the sixth round but Caleb is in different territory going to the seventh round where Canelo started to show his dominance, it's a game of endurance and gameplan, Caleb should be proud of this fight he shows heart it's just the body punches did a lot of damage, we'll still see more of Plant in the future.
Caleb Plant is a product of Floyd Mayweather camp and so is the reason he showcased some of the skills he learned by rolling the punches but i knew that the heavy body punches would expose him and that is what happened in the fight, the constant body punches had an impact and in the later rounds Canelo Alvarez was able to tag him and did not allow him to recover and finished the fight in the 11th round.

Well the whole indian population of 1.3 billion would be watching the todays match between newzealand and afganistan and would be praying for an afganistan win. Yes newzealand are favorites to win this match but afganistan has the capability to win this match as well, and if that happens it would be something like a miracle that india qualifies after those two losses.
India already packed their bags knowing well what the result would be, BCCI announced a new coach in Rahul Dravid and these things were taken care during this period to reduce the backlash they were getting from the fans for the loss in the first two matches and they even announced that Rohit Sharma will be leading India in the white ball and the fate was in the ceiling.
One more match and India will play against a small team and will score some crazy runs and then fly back home  Cheesy.

They have won the toss but they choose to bat.  The strong team has lost 3 quick wickets under 20 runs and are looking to shattered the dreams of millions of people.

I can understand why everyone want Afghanistan to show good performance but then .....?
Looks like you have paid billions for the players to perform like this  Tongue. Only you can tell how much you paid to each and every players throughout the tournament, especially for this match. If there is any live betting options just let everyone know, so that we can place a bet on that event and multiply my coins Cheesy.

On a serious note the match is played in a good batting wicket and it is not that surprising to see Afghanistan players struggling to face the New Zealand pace bowlers and with the form they are in, it is an easy game for New Zealand and will qualify for the Semi finals.
