It is quite expected that there will be many foreign country supporting Ukraine of any sorts, everyone is condemning the Russian Federation and its citizens are taking the direct hit.

You bet! Every fight Canelo had is really anticipated by everyone that is fond of boxing. But this time, Canelo is looking forward to defeat the defending champion which is Bivol. I don't think they can find a replacement considering the time left.

Obviously, the boxing organizations want this a no politics match, and with the two boxers battling it out for the belt based on their skills and not on their nationality if they are not going to play Bivol's anthem I wonder if they are going to play Canelo's Mexico's anthem and wave the Mexican flag Canelo deserves to have his flag waved because he is a proud Mexican heritage.

Nah, I don't think it that way. The boxing industry and other sports industries are restricting Russian contender to show support to Ukraine and that they are condemning the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. It may sound political but it's not.
It's totally fine if the sanctioning bodies will impose a restriction that the Russian anthem and flag is not allowed in the fight, but banning them and getting their fights unsanctioned? That's too far.

Nets up by 24 and only shot 7 free throws versus 21 for Philly.  Wherever Harden goes this bullshit way of playing basketball won't work.  Just continually trying to get to the line while not playing basketball doesn't work against good teams.  Hate teams that angle for a zillion free throws they sldeserve to get slaughtered here.  Only half way through the bucket of popcorn....

Up by 29 with less than 4 minutes to play for in the 3rd, this is already a big win for the Nets already!

Irving and Durant both stepped up really big and this are the kind of games/pressure they live for, they're never scared, neither can you talk your way into their performance, James Harden is exact opposite of that tonight, he needs to toughen up tbh, imagine playing the Nets in the playoffs and this is the Harden you'd get ? Man!

When Ben Simons gets back, this Nets team are really going to be terrific!

Right now they are in the eight hole.   There is not one team in the top 4 that wants to play them in the first round.  If durantula and kyrie already available they should be the favorites whether home or away.  Big decision if nyc lifts the Vax ban.  If so then lights out, the Nets are dead set the favorites to win this conf.

Irving has a lot of impact to boost his team mates confidence, Even there bench players and Seth Curry performs very well against a strong opponent 76ers maybe because there’s no too much pressure to handle since they trust Kyrie Irving decision making. They are just keep rotating and waiting for the balance. Nets will surely be the favorite if they can maintain this kind of performance level until playoffs. Will definitely take note on this record as reference for my future betting.

A lot of sleeping giants team is already awaken.

The Nets is slowly getting back in phase and climbing spots, I don't either doubt that before the regular season ends they can have a seat in the playoffs without playing in the play-in tournament. Even if Irving can't play home games, the Nets is still hard to beat now knowing that KD is back and Seth is getting good in his spot. Almost everyone of them is a threat and can really shoot easy threes.

The LA Lakers continued their bad course in the league with the Houston Rockets game. LeBron James outstanding performance also does not bring success to the LA team. The Nuggets team reflects their successful games in the last matches on the field and they caught a good series.

Yes, the Lakers this season took a very different route and looks like we can't see them in the playoffs this season. LBJ's talent and performance is still good but now that he is aging, he can't really bring the team to the Finals alone. They should take an early rest and figure out what would they do next season because investing and having WB is definitely not good for them.

If this cases will remain, then I don't doubt that a time will come that they won't let the said athletes or fighters to join such games or events just because they do not share the same beliefs or views.

And that would make the sports boring. Actually, sports is one of the best ways to unite countries, we compete through sports in a friendly manner and it should remain that way. With politics, the real purpose of sports or competition will not be achieve.

There's a report that the Klitschko brothers believe that Bivol should not be allowed to box

Quote
Asked whether Bivol should also be barred from competing while the invasion takes place, Wladimir Klitschko explained: “It’s nothing against the athletes, it’s about the politics of Russia.

“Every Russian representative in this case needs to be sanctioned because this way we show Russia the world is against this senseless war and there is no good in this war.”

but for me, this is a good fight and every Canelo fight whoever he is fighting is always a great fight I want to see this happen but I'm also supporting boycotting of Russian products.

I have also read this unfortunate news. I don't know how the sanctioning bodies in boxing will react to this call. It is not a far possibility that the sanctioning bodies in boxing will indeed exclude Russian fighters from the sport for now. We all know that there are already other leagues that have announced the exclusion of Russian teams and players. This is temporary of course. This is just to put pressure on Putin in every way possible.

I also read about that, don't know if we got the same article but I somehow read that sanctioning bodies are taking strict actions towards Russian fighter and not allowing them to have any title fights while there's still ongoing war. Yes, this is temporary but this sad news is a big deal specially that it is already set.
Here's what I read:

Quote
The IBF, WBO, and WBC have taken various actions, the strictest of which has been a decision to, for the time being, not allow any title fights featuring Russian fighters.

If the WBA pulls its sanctioning of Alvarez-Bivol or sponsors begin to pull out, DAZN may lose this fight and have to scramble for a quick replacement to face Alvarez in what was to be their first-ever pay-per-view event. A lot of money could be lost by losing Alvarez-Bivol.

Time will tell how great the pull of money is when stacked up against the pull of international outrage.
The Call to Cancel Canelo vs. Bivol

I don't think there will be a strong international outrage against this considering that the general sentiment of the world's population right now is in favor of Ukraine. We are now seeing a very strong support of all kinds of people from all around the world for Ukraine.

And also, this fight is anticipated probably 99% because of Canelo. Whether the opponent is Bivol or somebody else, there will still be high anticipation.

The fight is supposed to happen in less than two months. There should already be a decision very soon on this because it wouldn't be fair to any boxer who will replace Bivol.

It is quite expected that there will be many foreign country supporting Ukraine of any sorts, everyone is condemning the Russian Federation and its citizens are taking the direct hit.

You bet! Every fight Canelo had is really anticipated by everyone that is fond of boxing. But this time, Canelo is looking forward to defeat the defending champion which is Bivol. I don't think they can find a replacement considering the time left.
2005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 10, 2022, 09:20:22 AM

Butler on the other hand did the right decision to wait for Casimero for another couple of months, I guess Butler really want to prove something on Casimero or he was just after the belt after all.
Both, he wants to win to get the belt, otherwise, he would just fight the replacement but he won't benefit since there's no belt in a certain fight. Now is his chance, it doesn't matter if it's delayed, as long as he will continue his training and do the right strategy in the fight, he certainly has a decent chance to win.

Yes, I know that. Aside that he's after for Casimero's belt, maybe this is also a personal business for Butler because as I said, he want to prove something on Casimero and that's the main reason behind the waiting, the belt is just a second reason. Well, whatever it is, they will surely have a showdown next month and see who will win.

I like to see how he will prove himself to Casimero, hopefully, he will not be the same as Rigo who is only good at talking but not in the ring. If you saw the fight, you would really feel bored, so we hope that it will not happen here and it will be more entertaining if we will see a KO win.

So do I, we already know that Casimero is excited to face Butler next month and he is really preparing about it that's why we are not seeing any movements or updates about Casimero now. As for Butler, I hope he will meet our expectations, I mean, that he will also give a good entertaining fight towards Casimero and to the fans, a toe-to-toe fight and continuously exchanging blows would be really good.

After dealing with his mental problem, now Simmons is having a back problem. What the F is wrong with that dude? I'm thinking that he doesn't wanna play at all with his new team but... well I hope that isn't the case.

Ben is a talented guy, but he doesn't want to play at all. I mean, if a player had really loved basketball, then he wouldn't have missed almost the entire season due to far-fetched "mental" problems. By the way, there are rumors that he will travel with the team to Philadelphia, and he will probably be present on the bench. To be honest, I don't know how the 76ers' fans will react to his appearance, but there will probably be a lot of hate towards him.

No doubt about that, Ben can be an asset to every team because he is talented but I think his really growing his head now. With all the fuss he made and he thinks that he's such an important player, well he is good but he is also not good for any team because he can drop them anytime he wants just because he's having another mental problems towards his new team. He already had a history about it and I don't think that the league will forget about that.

I see that this thread is active for more than months now but we still don't see any improvements with the negotiations. I don't think this match will happen and also I don't think Mike Tyson will show mercy to Logan Paul and he would beat that kid easily, which that's why I wanted this match to happen but I think it will never gonna happen now.

Not just you mate, truth is that almost all of the people who know Mike Tyson and other boxing fanatics are also looking forward to see Iron Mike fight again in the ring and beating the young Logan Paul who just wants to milk the industry for having some nonsense exhibition fights just like he did vs Mayweather.
Sadly, Mike have already talked about this few weeks or month ago that he won't be stepping into the ring to do fights for good. The thread is just active because some are still speculating that this match will happen and the OP is still letting the thread open.

I think we should close this thread because this fight will not take place. The topic has already discussed not only the likelihood of the fight, but many other issues concerning both Mike Tyson and Logan Paul. Even if the fight takes place in the future, this thread could be reopened.

We'll just wait for the OP for that decision but yes, we've gone through 65 pages in this thread hoping that this fight will come up soon. But both of them said that this fight is just a speculation and there was no agreement at all on both sides about this fight. So, there would be no reason anymore for this thread.

Golden State Warriors vs LA Clippers - Warriors -5.5 Same with these guys to end the losing streak.
Good luck to all.

But since this game is kinda late, was able to bet on the Warriors, yeah it's about time they ended this slump against the Clippers. LA lost big time on their last game, so that might sting up, while the Warriors without Curry and Thompson gave the Nuggets a close game.

Game has started.

I got the same bet and yes the Warriors have succeed to put an end to their lose streak, it was a close 1st quarter that it end up in a tied score but they took control until the 4th quarter. The Warriors do seem really thirsty to get this win and at the end they closed the game with a 15 point lead. Spread was also covered well.

Wow! Congratulations mate, you do have a keen eye on the teams you have betted because you got those 3 bets right.
After losing 5 straight games, at last the Warriors have won the game against the Clippers today and spread was well covered, same goes for the Nets.

Thank you mate, I just kinda sensed that the Warriors and Nets will bounce back today and I'm really glad they did Grin

2013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 09, 2022, 11:07:27 AM
Philadelphia 76ers v Chicago Bulls is really like a playoff game. Each one of them is doing an amazing job in this season. And my expectation level from each of them is quite high truthfully. Especially 76ers are really promising for the playoffs and even the title. I also believe that Harden has made a huge contribution to the team already now. The Harden - Embiid duo is going to be really great in the playoffs too hopefully. And when it comes to this game, I believe in 76ers to destroy their competitor.

Right now the 76ers have all the advantages because they will try to win this game since they lost their last game without James Harden. now he is playing again and has 11 points in halftime. As the Bulls are struggling today, they continue to catch up not letting the lead reach up to double-digit at the end of the first half. Anything can happen in the last 24 minutes of the game I hope it would be a last-minute battle between these two current heavyweight teams.



Rough game for the Bulls, dropping their fifth straight game. However it wasn’t really a fair matchup. The Bulls were missing three starters, Vucevic, Ball, and Patrick Williams. Also still have Alex Caruso out. So they were down four of their best players and 3 starters, so not really a fair fight. The sixers are a damn good team though, but I can’t wait to see the Bulls play them when healthy.

Definitely was not fair because the Bulls is heavily undermanned compared to the Sixers, but yeah we can't deny that Sixers now is a good tough team and they deserve the spot they have now.

While the Bulls have dropped so deep now, they need survive the upcoming games without getting into the 7th spot to avoid playing more games in the play-in tournament. Caruso is likely to play this week though, he is now getting his clearance to play from the doctor while Ball and Vucevic is expected to be out in a week or two.

I saw a statistic that the Bulls haven't beaten a top ranked team all year long.  I was shocked by that because they've been having a great season.  It is extremely concerning though that this team can't beat good teams.  Sure, they've had some injury issues lately, but that shouldn't keep them from beating a single good team one time.  I'd hate to see this team make a first round playoff exit, but that is a damning statistic.  Hopefully everyone comes back healthy and strong, ready to make a push higher in the rankings.  They were my favorites to reach the eastern finals a few weeks ago, but I'll admit after seeing that statistic I have my doubts as to whether they'll make it out of the first round. 

Yes, same here! Chicago Bulls is also one of my early favorites. Who wouldn't get this team as one of their favorites to reach the playoffs, right? But yes we cannot neglect that fact and surely statistics don't lie. They may be really hurting now because of their current situation and they could really lose a seat in the playoffs if they cannot manage to win in their upcoming games, 1 month more and the regular season will end.

I guess we will find out soon, I still have some faith in them. Anyways, any news about Alex Caruso about his doctors appointment? That will be the last phase if could play this week or not.
2014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 09, 2022, 10:27:32 AM
There's no doubt that even if this anticipated fight between Casimero vs. Butler had been postponed and rescheduled for a long time because of some health issue that rises up to Casimero boxing fans still wanted to push this fight through and see Casimero win this game. So good to know that this fight was resumed but then with another issue related to again to Casimero I guess as much as he handled this case properly this will not be one of the reasons again to be the hindrance for his upcoming fight.
It's not that long, there's a month of preparation for both of them.

That consideration given to Casimero due to his health situation was already a bonus to him and he's still given that prior to his match. It's been announced a few months ago and this match will still push.

Casimero is on the training camp already but I have no updates on what Butler does these days but pretty sure he's also on his training.
If Butler opted to have a fight with another boxer, I'm sure Casimero will be on a big trouble today, but since Butler also want to fight Casimero he waited for him patiently.

Less than a month before they face in the ring, I hope both of them will be qualified on weighting day and no more health issues because I want to see Casimero to win and face Inoue on his next fight.

Butler was offered to fight another fighter in replacement of Casimero, but he chooses not to and wait for Casimero so that the opportunity is still there to win a belt.

Or someone just advise him to just sit it up and wait till everything settles down. And it was a good decision on their part, as the WBO gives the signal to resume the fight for next month.

If Butler and his camp accepted the offer then Casimero is really on a dangerous situation because he could lose that belt as he is really obliged to follow the WBO's decision and good thing he was given a 2nd chance after he was hospitalized just a few hours before the weigh-in.
Butler on the other hand did the right decision to wait for Casimero for another couple of months, I guess Butler really want to prove something on Casimero or he was just after the belt after all.
2015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 09, 2022, 09:49:29 AM
Wouldn't it be suspend because of the Russia invasion? many sports league already removed Russia in their competition but the WBO does not yet? or they doesn't care about politics? In this match I think I would go in Alvarez, I see his previous matches and I think he can't easily beat by Bivol though Bivol doesn't have much professional boxing career his previous career in non professional boxing is great too. This is very exciting match.
I hope it will not be suspended, we have not seen Canelo having a fight this year yet unlike last year when he fight 3 times in a year IIRC. Sports should not be mixed with politics as its main purpose is just entertainment, so I hope we will see our expectations.

Same here, even without the fact that we haven't seen Canelo fighting this year, I do hope that this fight will continue and not just this fight but for other Russian Athletes as well that have some games or fight scheduled even before the implementation was posted. These industries is for sports and entertainment, and not for politics. They should've let the elected country leaders deal with it.

Anyways, did you guys saw the viral news about Vladimir Putin's statement for FIFA? If not, here it is.
Quote
FIFA must not enter into war politics, The National Football team of Russia will play FIFA World Cup in Qatar, or there won’t be WORLD CUP at all” -Putin
Source: https://twitter.com/sokapatriots/status/1500168891988852737?s=20&t=zVxqdMIHLJzKJXnwdONTKw
 

That statement is very positive, it's a go on his side but hopefully the same on the side of other countries or the organizers of the boxing event. When politics will come into the picture, everything will become biased and that will kill the excitement. Just let them fight, at least in times of war we can still entertain ourselves.

Indeed, it was. It is just really unfair for these boxers and other athletes to be treated this way and be banned from certain games just because their president started an invasion and war in the far north. I mean, c'mon! They're aren't taking part on the war, they are just here to make money while entertaining people.

The statement of the sanctioning bodies and other giants in the sports industries are heavily biased, they cannot just ban those said athletes and get the fights unsanctioned just because their nationality is Russian is really unreasonable and wrong.

If this cases will remain, then I don't doubt that a time will come that they won't let the said athletes or fighters to join such games or events just because they do not share the same beliefs or views.

Back to the game after one day of rest.  Grin
Early picks.
Charlotte Hornets vs Brooklyn Nets - Nets -4.5 This may be the time to win a game for the Nets. They fought well against the Celtics and the Heat but still lost so now they have a chance to start a streak with Kyrie and KD playing. They badly need this one on the way back to the 6th seed.

Golden State Warriors vs LA Clippers - Warriors -5.5 Same with these guys to end the losing streak.
Good luck to all.

Got the same bets here, both the Nets and Warriors has lost in the recent games and the chance that they are going to bounce back this time is high especially the Nets. Though there's some slight changes in the spread and ML but I still don't doubt that these said teams will definitely win this time around.

Bets for tomorrow:
Warriors -6.5  vs Clippers
Nets -3 vs Hornets
Grizzlies -5.5 vs Pelicans

Just because it lines up it all comes down to money and if it makes sense for both sides.  Crawford don't care who he fights.  His angle has always been to be the pound for pound best.  I'd love to see his go at with with Spence.  I don't buy many of the fights but I'd pony up for that one.  Boxing needs that fight to happen.  Crawford is fun to watch, always liked seeing him in the ring.
In terms of money, I think there will be no problem in this match (if it happens) because it is certain that this will be one that will be recorded in history considering that both fighters are the best at this time and of course there must be one who is made king in one area. Likewise in boxing there must be one who can indeed be said to be the ruler now whether it is Spence or Crawfod.
The best boxers now in their division are Crawford and Spence because they are both undefeated and holding a title, Ugas just came in the picture because he was successful in defending his title against Pacman, but I guess that would not last long as Spence could beat him and that will give way to the biggest fight which is the Crawford vs Spence.

A lot are hoping that Spence Jr will easily beat Ugas in the upcoming fight.
Even sportsbooks are highly favoring Spence Jr with their odds.
Ugas is at 3.5-4.2, which clearly shows that they are indeed expecting Spence to win.
And that is true, Ugas came into the picture because he beat the legendary Pacquiao.
So we will see to how far can Ugas hold that belt inside the ring. This is an interesting match to watch out for.

The same scenario with Ugas vs Pacman fight, people thought that Ugas despite being the bigger fighter could not beat the faster Pacman but it was a complete upset although Ugas was the one who is defending his title. Here, we don't what's gonna happen, the people could be right, or maybe another upset would happen again, os just place your bet to the fighter you think had a bigger chance of winning.

Ginebra -4.5 @1.86 vs ROS, must-win for the Kings so i think they will work hard for this one though this looks like a very risky bet for me because Ginebra is so erratic right now.

A must win game but a hard one for sure, ROS is still a good team despite of their current standing they will surely not let Ginebra to win easily.
They have a good lead now, Ginebra will take this win but not sure if they'll be able to cover the spread. We are now in the 3rd quarter and ROS reduce the lead into single digit, hopefully, Ginebra will hold on and will win this game.

ROS did come back but still Ginebra takes the lead with 6 points now in less than 5 minutes in the 4th quarter. The crowd is there for Ginebra, this is an exciting game, looks like Ginebra is going to win but the game is not over yet, so let's find out.

It's unfortunate for the ROS they allow the Ginebra for a 16-0 run and their import was also fouled out in the 4th quarter so they have to play all Filipino in less than 2 minutes of the game I guess. But it's a good win by Ginebra, they keep their composure, win and cover the spread.
ROS import is too eager to win, and protect their small lead unfortunately he reached his limit and got fouled out for the last two minutes.

Jeff Chan is fantastic today, such a great local player and helping the whole team to win today, still no doubt about the skills and talent of Brownlee with a big 25 points today, ending their elimination round on a winning note. Let's see if they can still be able to rise from below and do better in the next round.

He had an impressive shooting, he was one of the reasons for the Ginebra's big run. That was the Ginebra I know, everyone is contributing and does not only rely on their import, if they will always play like that, I'm pretty sure they have a decent chance to win another championship again.

How about Celtics vs Nets? Durant is back, Kyrie will play but still without Simmons. I think they can win this one, or if not just cover a spread.
I am going for Nets +4.5.
One more bet, the Grizzlies are hot, Ja Morant is spicy every game. Grizzlies -10.5 vs the Houston Rockets. Good luck to everyone.
There's a chance that your bet will hit, Durant was pretty good in this game but Nets are still behind with over 1 minute left in the game.
5 points lead by the Celtics now but it's very close of covering so I wish you win this game mate.
