For now, let's wait for the result of this match that's already predictable by 99.9%.
We already know who might win in their upcoming fight but let's see if Butler prepared a hidden strategy that can beat the monster.

At least give Butler 1% chance of winning as a sign of respect, saying 99.9% chance for Inoue, that only gives Butler 0.01% chance. I know upset happens in boxing, but just like guys, I don't see it happening because Inoue are just too good for Butler.

Whatever percentage of chances your predictions are, it doesn't change the fact that Inoue is a heavy favorite, most likely bookies would only give 1.05 at max for Inoue, and I'm sure there are still bettors who would risk at that odds. On the other hand, isn't it a motivation for Butler to train hard to prove to the majority of us who believe that he has no chance that he ca beat Inoue?

A good motivation but to make it happen that's another thing for Butler, we all know that Inoue is not just a heavy favorite in papers, but
with all those previous fights that he takes.

That KO to Donaire is something Butler can also suffer if he will engage with a toe-to-toe exchanges of punches, we all know what kind
of a hard punchers Inoue was.

He won't be named a monster for nothing, a week more and we will witness the fight.

Garcia vs Davis, will divide the fans, but just like bookies sees this fight, I think Davis has more believers that he would win the fight.

Really hard to see who will win because both have a knockout punch, but as per the bookies, I'm seeing that they will put Tank as favorite. And if this is the case, for Ryan, he should proved them wrong by winning this fight.

After this fight one of them is not undefeated anymore, and I believe that Ryan Garcia will give Tank Davis a good fight. He keeps challenging great champions, now it's his time to shine, beating Tank Davis will make his ranking skyrocket and he will definitely earn more big fights ahead.

Hype on his career and a fulfillment in which all the boxers wanted to have before retiring their gloves, Ryan will bring everything to make
things happen for him, it's his desire to beat Davis.

Now that the opportunity is open, he will do everything in his capabilities to the extent that he will bring more drills and additional trainings
to prepare for this upcoming fight.

Fans for both sides will benefits, they will see extra mile from their idols as both are eager to beat one another.
1363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 05, 2022, 11:53:11 AM

Now with regards to them winning the NBA Finals, they must climb the ladder first. Yes, they are 8-2 on their last 10 games but still they are now at the 12th spot, and nothing has changed. The good thing though is that the Lakers are only 2 games behind the 6th seeded Warriors, so every win is very important for the teams in the West because their standings are really close. Just look at the Jazz where they got the top spot but after losing consecutive games, they are now on the 9th seed.

As long as they will qualify for the playoffs, there's a huge chance that they'll win the championship. The Lakers are doing pretty well, great teams are beaten by the Lakers and they are very happy with each other, a happy coach, and happy players, that's the recipe for success. Though it's still too early to conclude I'm already seeing a great future for this roster.

Too early to tell, but I have to agree. It seems like Westbrook embracing his new role is now finally clicking. He have to give up his scoring opportunity to help his team win, with extra efforts assisting, defending, and other hustle that can't be listed on the stat sheet.
While AD has suddenly came back to life, when everyone thought he'd gradually slowdown and eventually become washed earlier than expected, but based on the games he have showed currently, it seems like he's becoming more improved than his last performances.
Lakers fan suddenly came back to life.


Nothing to say with how you are pointing the way both Davis and Westbrook impress the Lakers fans, the expectations from both of them
are now being filled and they are really playing real game and not just for the stats.

I like how coach Ham gives them the credit, though it's not just them and LeBron, but as a whole, Lakers team is really improving now
they adjust with both defense and offense that giving them the win.

We might see more wins for them if they will continue playing without any injury. The season is still early and there are a lot of possibilities
to happen, looking forward to more healthy competition.
1364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 05, 2022, 11:06:54 AM
I also have some picks for the upcoming games.

Suns -9.5 (Thinking of revenge after a loss against Rockets, so maybe they'll win by a huge margin)
Boston -2.5 (Road favorite against a streaking Brooklyn Nets, but I still remember how they are swept by the Celtics last playoffs)

Lastly the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are rolling so I'm riding still.
CAVS -3.5
We both lost at that Cleveland Cavaliers bet. They broke my heart as how they broke one of my parlays.  Cry
Anyway, that's still 2 of 3 for my early bets.
Every expected winner won today and that includes the Lakers. Oh, and except for the Cavaliers. I think the referee just made a record of the number of traveling calls in one game.  Cheesy
They are getting stricter on that section and also with ball carry.

One more game left.
Trail Blazers vs Pacers - I think Lillard will play.

Lillard play and they win the game, lucky for those who gave them the support, even those who bet for the handicap I think
they cover the handicap they win with 16-point deficits.

Most of the favorites win like what you have said except with the Cavs, NYK really make good adjustment and the core players
did well in providing their own contributions offensively and defensively.

Congrats to all those who make a win decently today, lot of games tomorrow, good luck!
1365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: under-age gamblers on: December 04, 2022, 07:41:44 PM
KYC is not a way to prevent under-age gamblers, lets be honest with each other because they are asking it from everyone whereas it could be like maybe 5% of all gamblers that are underage, probably less. So that is not the main way to prevent it, and they will just go to places that doesn't ask KYC and it's over.

The real reason why under-age gambling is a problem is also the same as underage drinking, smoking, sex, and everything else. It is just not something you can prevent and that's the trouble. As long as you can't prevent none of that, you can't prevent gambling neither. Some people will do things before they are allowed to, and you won't be stopping that at all.

Exactly these rascals will always find ways to continue with this kind of activities even they are still not allowed to do so, we can't prevent it if we will not focus on it and try to limit those young folks.

Though it's another concern since limiting them will only push them to try other alternatives, like you said, even you place KYC those people
will just find other option other places that they can continue without any hassle with KYC.

It will continue and we just need to be alerted to avoid things to happen with our own family members.

Which teams are still not in the top 8 of their conference that you expect to be there? In the East, we have the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat while Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers made it already. Or is the Chicago Bulls line-up not worthy of a playoff spot?

The west is too crowded with good teams. Probably only 3 to 4 teams do not have the potential of landing in the top 8. Sad to see the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers are losing most of their games now. There are still 70+ games for each team though, plenty of time but they better start showing and making necessary adjustments now.

Blazers and Jazz are now feeling the pressure of the real competition, especially on the west side. They needed the right adjustment
to keep their campaign to move forward to the playoff.

They are now losing most of their games and without the adjustment the chance of them not to reached the playoff is still
possible, they need new sets of plays, system that may work with each player inside the court.

The early strong start is now fading. They both need to bring the right spice to the system or if there's still possibilities
to bring someone. Maybe that's also an option for both these franchises.
1367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 03, 2022, 06:19:54 PM
As for the Jazz, they aren't really doing good and they are about to jeopardize their chance to be in the NBA playoffs this season. Imagine how they failed to maintain their spot for just a week, getting knockout from the playoff tree because of losing streaks.

You're right. The Jazz's performance has been really awful lately, considering they've only won 3 of their last 10 games. However, it's worth noting that the Jazz is still in 7th place in the Western Conference standings, and it means that if the Jazz's head coach finds a way to improve the performance of the players, the Jazz will still have a chance to reach the playoffs since the end of the regular season is still a long way off.

It was fools gold they were never destined to be a top team just had a hot start.  They are stacking draft picks so I'm sure they like to see them end up in the lottery.  This team going to the playoffs does nothing but ensure mediocrity.  They gave up once they parted with gobert and spida.

Safe to say that they just got lucky to be sitting at the top of the conference when almost every team in the league are still struggling and adjusting or taking their time while the season have just started. But now that teams are starting to get their sense, their rank dropped in just a week which is not that surprising because they are not that deep enough to compete with the heavy teams on the league. In time, when they reached the right depth and know each other's strengths and weakness, they will be a heavy time just like how the Boston Celtics started.

If they will continue to develop these young talents and they will not be part of any trading actions, Jazz can be an interesting team to watch out,
they are now falling from the standing since heavy favorite teams are now catching up.

We know that once those super-teams start to improve their offensive and defensive attacks, the chance of winning is high, maybe for now Jazz
chance to the playoff still alive,

but in terms of reaching semis it might be tough for them, but who knows?

Ethereum is the second strongest coin after Bitcoin, the influence of ETH is very strong in the market because most projects use the ERC20 network that requires ETH to be able to transact, of course things that are difficult to fight the market when you're bearish as it is today, but I'm not worried about Eth because when it The market improves, ETH recovered soon.

ETH always brings good bounce when Bitcoin start to be bullish, we all know that in the bearish season most coins if not all are really
getting hit and downfall mostly take place.

If you are good in investing and waiting for your money to grow, ETH is one of the best projects that will always tail bitcoin when
bull or strong market make its way to dominate and change the momentum.

Better to keep chasing for best position and try to re-assess your possible decision.
1369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 02, 2022, 06:35:42 PM
^Same! I only have 3 early bets on the line. I thought the parlay games today will be profitable but it seems like it's actually unpredictable.
As I look at the opponents of the favorites, most of them have the possibility to snatch the win.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic - Cavs -10.5
San Antonio Spurs vs New Orleans Pelicans - Pelicans -7.5
Utah Jazz vs Indiana Pacers - Jazz -4.5

3 teams that I was not accurately sure to cover. I wish they can. Good luck to everyone.

I'll follow you on that Cleveland Cavaliers and Utah Jazz bet, Cleveland's handicap is a bit high but I know that they can cover it as well as the Jazz against Pacers, though I think their game might be tight. And I'll add the Washington Wizards -3 vs Charlotte Hornets.

I'll try to bet on the remaining games live whenever I have some spare time tomorrow. Good luck fellas!

Good luck to both of you, I'm looking with the Wizard and the handicap is really attractive, I'll check it back if later during live games
if luck permits and have some spare, I will throw some for the Wizard.

I think they can cover it and might win the game with a comfortable lead, though still depends on how each player will play and how
aggressive they are in winning the game.

looking forward to see an entertaining game as there are many available games either
to bet or to enjoy watching.

It seems to me that many simply mistakenly believe that trading is very simple and can bring profit without much effort. But in fact, to make money in this industry, you need to study a lot. When I started working with a broker from Amarkets, I paid enough attention to working on a demo account.
Those who think that trading is very easy and that anyone can make money by trading in a new platform, those who do it, this is not a wrong idea. If you want to make a profit by trading, you must have an idea about the trap and keep an eye on the market when the price of a coin increases.  You have to keep an eye on it and trade after that. I think trading is not as easy as people think.

Trading is not as easy as you think it was, but for people who will spend time to learn deeper about this about the business
they can have that good chance to succeed. There are many available sources of information,

All you have to do is to sort it up and try to practice if what kind of system and patterns that will work according to how you will
approach your trading journey,.

We can not tell what future will be there for us when we start our journey, but the driver of our fate is our own knowledge about the
venture that we are trying to travel.

Ang dami na namang laro bukas, dito muna ako papabor sa mga sure para yung spread nalang po-problemahin ko.
Heat vs Celtics -9 @ 1.91
Bucks -6 @ 1.91 vs Knicks

Congrats kabayan, panalo yong dalawang bet mo kahapon. Muntikan na hindi ma-cover ng Bucks yong spread pero yong Celtics walang kaba dahil two digits yong kalamangan, pati yong bet ko ca Cavs nanalo rin. Kadalasan yong mga nanalo kahapon ay mga llamado sa tayaan, kabaligtaran na naman sa mga resulta noong nakaraang araw.

Mavs -7.5 @1.80 vs Pistons

Isa lang pala yong laro ngayon kaya wala masyadong mapagpipilian.

Salamat kabayan! Naka chamba lang din at naniguro kaunti na mag bet muna sa mga heavy teams hehe. Di ko na nga pinanood ng live dahil parang di ako sine-swerte pagka ganoon hehe. Talo ang Mavericks kabaya kontra Pistons, umabot pa nga sa overtime pero di na pumayag ang Pistons na makuha ulit ng kabila ang lead. Halos si Wood ang Luka lang ang guamalaw sa kanila habang sa Pistons ay halos double digits ang ambag kada players.

Di na ako tumaya kabayan ng nalaman kong iisang laro lang ang mangyayari ngayong araw, pahinga muna dahil mamaya titingin ako ulit kong anong maganda dahil may 11 games para bukas. Good luck kabayan!

OT pero talagang agresibo ang Piston na dominate nila yung game sa extra na oras, kahit napwersa ng Mavs ung OT pero talagang
mas malakas ang pinakitang laro nung Piston.

Hindi kinaya ni Luka yung mga bataan ng Piston lahat willing tumulong at lahat talaga makikita mo na gumagalaw at naghahassle ng
bola, swerte yung mga nag handicap lalo ung mga risk taker na tumaya sa ML

Bukas madaming laro kaya abang abang na muna kung anong game ung medyo maganda ganda ung advantages.
1372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: December 02, 2022, 11:04:53 AM

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!
1373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia on: December 01, 2022, 08:07:20 PM
I don't know what to say, both are unique fighters. Both have explosively powerful left hands. Ryan Garcia uses a straight guard, but his left hook is very strong. I'm not sure how durable Davis will be if Ryan Garcia hits, but I think he'll be very hard to catch. I think Davis will make more accurate hits. Apart from the hits, according to my analysis, according to the matches I watched, Davis is a unique fighter who fights more intelligently. I bet Garcia will get a TKO this fight.

Ryan was knockdown by Luke Campbell who is not known as a knockout puncher, it just shows that Ryan has a weak spot and a weak chin, and if Gervonta can connect just one punch then the fight is over, Tank can knock out just anybody with a single punch and we have seen that on many of his fight his match with SantaCruz is very terrifying when Leo was knocked out with one single uppercut, Tank can take a big punch, so its Ryan who will be in trouble when they fought.

Well there if you have the whole tree, for me this indicates that if Gervonta Davis can connect Garcia's chin it is something that can be very bad for him, I really don't blame Garcia because I know that a hit there to anyone throws him off, and Of course, in his case I would take care of myself, I wouldn't look for him to hit me there, always in boxing everyone has a weak point, it's where the kidneys are, a blow near the ribs doubles anyone and if he goes with a lot of power because even more so, just like in the genitals, that is something that cannot control the pain and obviously the strength goes elsewhere, however that is why they are boxers, they have to resist all kinds of attacks.

Gervonta Davis will always look to connect, he is known to have power and so it will be a big test for Ryan to survived in Davis connect to this chin. He was able to get up against Campbell, and I do agree that he is not a knockout artist and so Ryan weathered that storm and win that big test of a fight.

But against a hard and power puncher like Davis, it will be a different fight for him. Actually both will have to readjust because Ryan too has that left hook that can knockout anyone if he touches them. So I guess whoever land that first power punch, will gain the momentum in this fight.

Yeah. Garcia also has that capability to throw a solid punch and if he converts the chance of him throwing follow up punches is well expected.
Garcia will not just stand and wait for Davis he will also make his move and try winning.

He might be the underdog, but upset can happen if he manages to avoid any solid combination from Davis.

We don't know who will win but the good catch here is we will see more aggressive attacks from both fighters since they are really wanted
to win the fight.

Kailangan talaga ng pouch ng malaking pera dito para sa marketing dahil kung di sila maglalabas ng pundo hindi ganun kabilis ang adoption na mangyayari.
Antay pa tayo ng mga ilang buwan at sigurado may updates yan at mas marami pang magagandang mangyayari. Ang maganda diyan, hindi lang turista kundi mismong mga kababayan natin ang makikinabang.

Galing nga eh in short time span implementing it sa boracay madaming merchants na ang tumatanggap nito base sa sinabi sa vlog at kung more good marketing strategy pa ang gagawin ni pouch dyan for sure mapaparami pa nila ito at malamang kapag maraming dayuhan ang makakaalam nito ay posibleng  positive ang result nito sa tourist revenue at saka pag widen up pa ng adoption sa bansa natin kaya sana walang malaking issue ang humadlang dito para tuloy-tuloy parin ang paglago nito sa tulong ni pouch.

positive kung madaming tourist na marunong sa crypto ang magkainterest na gamitin ang kanilang asset para sa kanilang pamamasyal, hindi ko lang

It's never too late to put venture on crypto and it it's an absolute perfect time to put money on crypto during these times of panic and fear of the market conditions. As always, invest what you can afford to lose because crypto is very volatile market, it can go ups and downs without knowing it.
It is true. Because people are panicking and the prices of crypto coins drop significantly, it is a good time to buy. But only use the extra money that we don't use it for the basic necessities. We don't know how long the market will recover, it may take 2-3 years or more. If we use our main money, we may get difficulties to fulfill our daily needs. This is not a wise way to invest in crypto coins.
It seems that it's not just a panic situation that's happening right now, but what's bigger is the declining purchasing power because many countries are in fact hit by an economic crisis, which makes it difficult for everyone to make ends meet, and there are consequences for many companies reducing their workforce. this crisis may be prolonged until next year which is expected to reach its peak, this also has an impact on crypto of course.
agree with you, now is the right time to keep buying but really use money that is not for the main needs that you might still have. so that if something unexpected happens with this bad crypto investment, it won't make it worse.

It's really tough nowadays to make your move in terms of trying to invest your money, but most of the time wise investors are working with
how they will manage to take advantage of this situation.

They will find ways to buy assets that they now will pump when the market start to move up and be strong again, there are always
chance that the bear will overcome this bear.

You should be ready and willing to adjust in whatever the market offer to you.
1376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: December 01, 2022, 07:26:58 PM
I agree to that, Butler's punching power is not that heavy to bring Inoue down, unlike with Donaire before where Inoue was almost kissing the canvass, though we never know when luck come, maybe Butler will find that solid combination to bring Inoue down.

We never looked down on Paul Butler but I also don't see he has that strong punch to take down Inoue if he was able to connect some good shots.

Inoue is also used to receiving a different levels of punches and if we talk about Butler's punch, Inoue can surely handle it.

It's also hard to connect some blows on Inoue as this guy is very quick and versatile. On the other hand, Butler is not even known for some special skills related to speed, quickness, strong punches, absorbing heavy body blows, and so on.

Oftentimes, heavy punchers have high resistance to the same amount of punching power.  So it is somehow scientific to say that Butler's punching power will almost not affect Inoue because Inoue having the heavier hitter possibly possessed high durability and resistance against weaker punching power opponents.  We can testify to it in his fight against Donaire.   Even though Inoue's face is somehow ruined in their first fight, Inoue has never been knockdown by the hard-hitting Donaire.  The reason behind this is, Inoue is a harder puncher thus his durability would be better.

Not just often times, heavy hitters are always got better chances to survive the fight and I think we can already say that it is already a fact. The only exemption of their chances of survivability is if they will meet that punch that will get them knocked out in their most vulnerable moment, as even heavy hitters with best defensive tactics still got weaknesses. In this fight, Butler will have to find that weakness as fast as he could because Inoue might finish the fight much earlier. Though that's the hardest challenge but he should find it to increase his chances.

The chance of Butler is really slim knowing how aggressive Inoue's fighting style, at any moment Inoue can
box him and start throwing solid punches that might convert to his critical area and knock him down.

If he will give Inoue such opportunities, then we may say that he can be knocked out before the fight reached the 10th round, though still on
how he will engage and how he will do his best to avoid Inoue's aggression.

1377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 30, 2022, 07:41:54 PM
The comment above was right, Lakers problem is when LeBron try to take over and hold the ball, his teammates are all waiting for him to call the play and will end up throwing a force shot, unlike when he's not around, all the guards are aggressive, and they are finding an open man to take the shots.

Why it became a problem when in the first place, that was Lebron's way of playing? The whole team just become sucks at the end and it's not right to blame their loss on one player. That was a 17-point lead and if you are talking about Lebron's way of holding the ball then that's the offense side. The problem with why they lost against the Pacers and blew that lead is a lack of defense while at the same time, the Pacers are really draining those shots even with a proper defense by the Lakers.

That was a tough loss and was supposed to be 3rd winning streak for the Lakers.

The Pacers just give their best and they should be the topic here, not the Lakers.

Yes, he is good at the offensive side but the question is, does the team really need his offense in-exchange to be so bad at defense? The team is also doing everything they can, but it seems that Lebron is just a stumbling block that gives them struggles to properly do their posts. At the Pacer's game, I bet you saw that there were so many times that Lebron could've block that shot or at least give them struggles when they are trying to shoot the ball but no, he is already old to be aggressive again. Just look at them when Lebron's not around, they can move a lot and do a lot because they are not following his lead and wait for his actions.

Well, I'm ready to move forward, that's already a loss for them and no need to dwell with that, they need to work more and find the perfect combination that can work with LeBron, nothing to say since he still the main alpha on the team.

It's more on the players who will surround him and how they will do their role while playing alongside with LeBron.

Another adjustment after that loss and they will be good to go.

holding a coin when the situation is like this it looks fine and if it is for a coin that is popular and has a good reputation from the past till now like bitcoin.
when someone buys the right coin at a high price and when the current price has fallen very deeply, maybe there is no need to panic and it would be better to buy again and collect more to cover losses in the upcoming bullish season.
maybe in my opinion holding bitcoins will be more relaxed and less panicked than altcoins that don't have a good track record from the past and will make some people panic holding them

If you are talking about bitcoin, then everything is correct, you just need to hold, but if we are talking about alts, then everything is not so simple and sometimes a hold can only lead to a loss of funds. You need to look at projects that are still working now, watch their announcements and results, but even this does not always work. You need to buy alternative cryptocurrencies only if you are confident in the project, but even in this case, you need to invest a small percentage of your funds so that in case of failure the loss does not become very critical.
talking about investing in altcoins is not as easy as we imagine, it's different from investing in bitcoin. that's right.
investing in alt coins while the bearish season is still going on has a very high risk and losing those funds is one of the risks.
but if investing in the right alt coins I don't think it will cause too much panic.
I will give an example of ETH (queen of bitcoin). i think ethereum is the king of alt coins always give good price in future and not too worried if invest there for long term.



anyway investing in a new project at this time seems to have a big risk

Additional risk if you will be going to invest with new project unlike with top caliber project who mostly follow bitcoin when the market starts to pump back.

You needed to work hard with your research since there are many factors that affects the market and without proper knowledge you
add risk with your investment.

Take time to continue doing your research and observe if how the market will move don't judge quickly as you may fall from those
whales who can create an artificial market movement.

Before and after I created this thread, my prediction was always Tank Davis will win because he is the better boxer and the tougher man. However, when I was looking at King Ryan's record more closely, I think he has made the much needed preparations to give him a better than expected chance to win. King Ry has very much prepared himself to fight a 5'6" left handed boxer by fighting 2 left handed boxers in his last 3 fights. The last opponent is Javier Fortuna, he is short and can knockout anyone, having much similarities to Tank. I would laugh at King Ry's bettors last week, however, we cannot laugh if we have studied his preparation more.

Both are great boxers, some fans just don't like Ryan Garcia because he talks so much, but looking at his resume, he can certainly beat anyone as he has the power and speed and the height which is his advantage against Tank Davis.

We have our own prediction though, but I'm pretty sure this is going to be a close fight so let's continue predicting and don't forget to bet once the bookies are ready to accommodate us bettors.

If there's a poll in this thread, I would appreciate it.  Smiley
please OP hear me out.

I would definitely vote for Ryan Garcia, I love the underdog of this fight, it doesn't matter to me if he talks so much because I'm always satisfied with his performance in the ring everytime he has some action. This is probably the first time where he is listed as an underdog, so might as well take that opportunity.

If you are a fan and you see good opportunity for Garcia then it will be very decent odd if you will bet for him, I understand that it will be his
first time being an underdog since he's going to face a real champ here.

A big test for him and if he upset Davis that will bring a good hype to his name and his career, we might see closer fist
exchanging of punches from time to time.

Both are aggressive and really wanted to knock down their opponent, execution of plan strategy will bring the fighter the win.

Big 4th quarter by the Clippers, they beat the home team (Blazers) with their run in the 4th quarter, 36-17, what a run. Now, it seemed like the number 1 and 2 team before in the West which are the Jazz and Blazers are struggling, they can't maintain their ranking as they are losing some games, especially the Jazz who are in a losing streak.

It's really hard to maintain at the top especially when you don't have enough players to take responsibility because star players also can feel tired and they need to rest well especially after putting on some show to win more games than usual. It's just another bad day for the Blazers because they weren't strong enough to stop the counter of Clippers throughout the game and they lose but they still doing good because both Jazz and Blazers are still in the playoff tree.

Blazers still does not have Lillard, what do you expect?
Even if Simons and Grant will drop 30 points each night, it's still not enough if they don't have their best player.
At least the Blazers are playing their best, they were able to win some games and they are not at the bottom.

Right now they are at top 7 with 11-10 record, still above .500



They are playing all the best that they can, but in the final quarter the eagerness of Clippers to win is the one that dominates.
I agree that even Grant and Simon put on those huge numbers, but without Lilard, the chance of winning is slim.

We might see them win some games but in a tough competitions chances of losing are not by far,
let's wait for Lilard to return and see what fate Blazers have this season.

Still above .500 means that still good to move forward for the next round.
