Not cool. We just started the season and here comes this visa issue again. Although we do not really know the exact reason and it might be valid. But Peru being not noisy when it comes to world politics just like Singapore, I expect that country to be less harsh when it comes to visa processing. And with the new rules on DPC penalties, it hurts already for PSG.LGD. Let's just hope that the next hosts in the coming majors and the TI itself are countries with a neutral stance and not noisy on world politics to avoid possible visa problems. 

What a weird article posted on Ring's website. I think the point is about Fulton not getting the attention and big respect in the US even if he owns 2 belts while Inoue is glorified not just in Japan but in the whole world. Inoue is ranked 2nd best pound for pound in the world and beating him would make Fulton very popular and probably get ranked in the top 10 p4p by The Ring.

I hope everything is finalized soon since this is a great fight. Fulton might think that Inoue's punches are just the same or even lesser than those of Brandon Figueroa whom he survived and won a very close fight.

Earlier, Moloney and his team were excited to face Donaire and hoped to bring the fight to Australia. Things changed though when Moloney's promoter Bob Arum said that he do not want to deal with Donaire's promoter Probellum due to its connections with the Irish crimelord Daniel Kinahan. Personally, I am doubtful about Arum's alibi. Maybe Arum just wanted an easier opponent for Moloney.

I think Donaire has no choice because he is not ranked in the top 3 of the other sanctioning bodies. He will have to wait for the WBC's official statement as to who will be his opponent for the vacant belt. WBC ranked 3 is Nawaphon Sor Rungvisai but the Thai is scheduled for February 25. Maybe the WBC and Donaire will wait for the result but what if the Thai lose that one?

Ranked 4 is Raymart Gaballo whom Donaire already beat. But Gaballo is also ranked 4th by the WBO which means he is likely to face WBO #1 Moloney since ranked 2 and 3 Rodriguez and Astrolabio are already mandated by the IBF to start its negotiations. I think we will just have to wait here as even both Rodriguez and Astrolabio are not guaranteed to happen as they are also ranked high in the other sanctioning bodies. 

I didn't realize that Tim Tszyu is already inactive for nearly a year. But it could a blessing in disguise, I don't really see him winning against Jermell Charlo. Jermell Charlo would've been too fast, too strong, too experienced, and too powerful for Tim. Tony Harrison is a good test and I want to see if Tim has improved a lot and if he is ready for the undisputed champ. If this fight is staged in the US, I'm pretty sure the odds would've been closer than what we are seeing at the moment. Tony Harrison is a very confident guy and is the only one that blemished Jermell's record although he lost in the rematch, it was very close before he was stopped in the 11th round. Hats off to Tim for not taking an easy fight.

On the other hand. It seems like Jermell has overdue mandatories already. Sebastian Fundora deserved a title shot rather than that worthless WBC interim. We'll see if Charlo wants a tune-up in his return or if he will right away face any of his mandatories.

Kung hindi lang talaga mataas and level ng kurapsyon at kapalpakan ang mga opisyales ng gobyerno ay marami sanang pros na dala ang sim registration. Kasi kung tutuusin lahat naman ata ng mga moderno at maunlad na mga bansa ay meron na nitong sim card registration. Pero okay na rin to. Sa daming krimen,  scams at spams ay malaking tulong ito. Sana nga lang walang hacks at leakage na mangyari sa mga systems natin.

NOT go the Full Distance:  6

I'm curious if chess a very old game that is played worldwide is going to be finally admitted to the Olympics. Esports is another type of sport that is growing rapidly and some of it and its events are bigger than many physical sports. Or maybe esports should organize its own event like the Olympics. That would be cool too.

Nonetheless, I always watch the Olympics ever since. I will be focusing mostly on boxing and basketball. Swimming and tennis are also interesting. I also hope that the Olympic committee one day allows no age limitations on football.

My hat's off to you for having that mindset while you're still young. People with mindsets like yours are the ones to become rich in the near future.

Focus on your studies first. If you have free time, balance it between sideline jobs and enjoying yourself. Do not get stressed a lot unless your parents are also struggling to provide for your basic education wherein you really need to focus your extra time on getting sideline jobs. If you have savings, you can divide it been investing in bitcoin and keeping the other half on fiat because the crypto market is not that easy to predict too. Investing is not a guarantee to earn income nor can keep your funds from losing. So always keep the balance as if you are also diversifying.   

I honestly do not understand why age matters in investing. People here do not care about age mate. There is no discrimination here on race, gender, or age whatsoever. But maybe your call to elderly people and your age range with the same mindset of yours might elevate them and boost their confidence that investing knows no age limit.

Galileo Galilei built his own high-magnifying telescope in his mid-40s. The founder of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts built his first hotel when he was in his late 40s. We, humans, continue to develop as we age.

There are also a lot of promising altcoins although Ethereum seems to be the only one that is consistent for many years. Despite the risk, there are too many people like me that are willing to risk on some altcoins at the top or even the low market cap coins for the reason that they might do a x10 to x100 during a bullish season. It's been proven anyways, only that the chances are also slim, especially for the low-cap coins. We really need effort to do research and only risk a small amount of our overall portfolio.

Even when I was a newbie, I kept hearing it a hundred times about investing an amount we can only afford to lose. Loan proceeds are not savings, it is not extra money and it is not an amount we can afford to lose.

I'm just sharing my current situation. I've been mentioning even here in the forum too that I am tempted to sell my house in order to invest more into crypto, especially on bitcoin while the halving is nearly a year away. So just today, some of my crypto friends advised me to just take a loan and make my house collateral in order to bargain lower interest rates. Not that I will follow their advice but I am so surprised that they were already taking loans earlier. What surprised me most is their interest rates ranging from 0.39% to 0.69% per month up to 3 years. I just can't believe especially that 0.39% because the standards in my country's loan interests ranged from 18% to 24% per annum.

Facebook is an American company and there are only 2 countries (El Salvador and the Central African Republic) so far that lawfully accept bitcoin as a legal tender so we may not see a bitcoin payment setting on these big social media giants. OP can easily mention it in its posts though.

Some business establishments convert bitcoin payments into fiat right away to avoid its volatility. But personally, if I am the one owning the business and it is still small, I will HODL bitcoin payments and only convert it at least in 2025 or after the halving year. 

At least Canelo is being honest and chill despite his past issues and differences with Ryan. With regards to the venue, a stadium might be cool to cater to more audiences but the organizers might opt for smaller, easier-to-manage, and boxing-proven venues like the MGM. They can easily match the gate revenue by increasing the price of the tickets. There are a lot of rich people regularly traveling to Vegas.

But the main issue right now is who will promote and what network will telecast if a rematch clause is activated. I cannot believe they are confident that this fight is happening yet this one which is very important is not yet agreed upon earlier. PBC showing its toxicity in boxing once again. Al Hymen is greedy once again despite his fighter being clearly the favorite. Obviously, GBP and DAZN should be the ones handling if ever a rematch is happening.

Fighting for a title again is a good opportunity for Donaire although I am not sure if he can really get his wish of getting a title shot in the super fly for his chance of becoming a 5-division world champion. That would be very historic for him as he can join Leonard, Hearns, and Mayweather. De La Hoya got 6 and Pacman got 8. Maybe if he wins this belt, he can offer any of the champions at super fly especially Estrada for a double-division title fight. This means they will fight at the super fly limit but at the same time, Donaire is also defending his WBC bantamweight belt.

Donaire might have a lot of opportunities since he is a clear future Hall of Famer. I just hope Rachel will prioritize Donaire's health and focus on that superfly dream this year and if they don't get it, her ward should retire for good. I don't want Donaire to follow the steps of ex-champ Jab Judah who was tempted to fight at 42 years old and was later hospitalized for brain bleeding.

Yes, and as mentioned, all are still possible until new deals and announcements are made. The WBC hasn't made another official mandatory yet. Moloney's camp didn't mention either as to which belt they are really trying to pursue. It's still complicated as Moloney, Astrolabio, Rodriguez, WBC, IBF, and WBO are all interconnected with their decisions.

I am one of those guys that don't like Kyrie Irving. He is a talented athlete but he is so toxic and I really think he is not worth it, especially when in tandem with another ball handler like Luka. His best years were only when he was in Cleveland. After that, he is either injured or he is busy spreading his toxicity when healthy. Good thing there's a link already detailing his ventures after his Cleveland days because I would've loved to post a brief summary of his failures, especially in Boston. The young Boston core performed well in the playoffs without Kyrie. I will never forget when 20 and 21-year-old rookies Tatum and Brown together with their young core Rozier and Smart plus veteran Al Horford iirc went unbeaten at home before that fateful conference finals game 7 loss to Lebron and the Cavs. In the next season's playoffs, toxic Kyrie choked as Boston was nearly shut out by Milwaukee in that series. And then comes next were his injuries and drama in Brooklyn.

Mark Cuban seems interested to host Kyrie's next drama series by letting go of Finney-Smith and a future 1st round draft pick. Maybe Cuban should also take the other Morris to complete his roster.  

Yes, of course, there are no guarantees that bitcoin can raise x5 in the next cycle hence I also said that we should only invest an amount that we can afford to lose. I just felt it and I am confident that bitcoin reaches a minimum of $100k in the next cycle. It went x20 something in the last cycle so a x5 might be very doable in this coming cycle.

Altcoins are very dangerous, even the top altcoins but I am a gambler anyways so I also have investments in them. But around 50% of my portfolio is in bitcoin. The only chance for altcoins to surpass it is if they go to Mars because bitcoin voyage is only to the moon.

As enticing as a Vargas-Magsayo II to happen, I don't think Magsayo is even a favorite to win against Brandon Figueroa whose only loss was a very close decision to Stephen Fulton in a unification fight. And I think Rey Vargas will successfully win his 3rd division belt which makes the rematch becoming more difficult. I honestly, would like to see an improved Magsayo when he fights Figueroa. Hopefully, he is not the same Magsayo that has limited stamina and has difficulty when facing a brawler. Because if not, Figueroa will take him into deep waters and stops him.

Everybody in this division wants former WBA champion Luis Santa-Cruz because he is the biggest money-maker in this division. The same reason why the corrupt WBA allowed him to hostage the real WBA belt for years despite being already inactive in the division. Magsayo wanted to unify with LSC before. And then Vargas also chased for an LSC fight after taking the WBC belt.

PSG.LGD once again reigns supreme in the Chinese region. After Faith_bian's retirement and XinQ not renewing the contract followed by Ame's decision to take a break, I thought this team will struggle to secure a place at the top 4 and it is time for Team Aster and Xtreme Gaming to rule the region.

I began to wonder if EHOME is unofficially becoming a second or farm team for PSG.LGD after taking planet and shiro. Earlier they also allowed XinQ and NothingToSay to play for PSG.LGD for more than 2 years and counting for the latter. I don't know if it is cool to allow teams to have another secondary teams just like Xtreme has YBB and Aster has Aster.Aries.

Both of you have good points. A volume puncher is not a guarantee to win fights because it also depends on the accuracy, defense, and impact of those punches. Looking at their styles, Magsayo's defense is his offense which means he can be targeted pretty easily by Figueroa but he might become open to Magsayo's counterattacks too. Magsayo's chin is durable and while Figueroa is also battle-tested, he might not be able to take heavy bombs in this new division. The problem with Magsayo is his stamina and once Figueroa can feel that he can take Magsayo's power shots, he will start imposing his brawling style and his deadly body attacks on Magsayo might end the fight or at the very least take out a portion of Magsayo's limited gas.

Magsayo is not a volume puncher. He's got big arms which means they're heavy and it might be the reason why Magsayo's stamina is limited. And when it comes to world-class experience, Figueroa has a huge advantage although they were in the lower division I still believe it matters.

So maybe @Jawhead999 has a very good point of the odds becoming 65/35 in favor of Figueroa. Maybe that's more sarcastic bro @bisdak40 because my odds prediction in this fight is only 55/45 or 60/40 for Figueroa.

Nisha and Team Liquid's chemistry worked right away because Nisha is such a versatile player with huge experience at top-level games and Liquid is also willing to adopt Nisha's playing style. Unlike BOOM, he needs to adjust and acclimatize to the playing style of Puppey. No way Puppey is going to accommodate BOOM's possible proposals and style of play. After all, Puppey and Team Secret have too much experienced, it's either they will change the line-up again later or BOOM will start to play according to its team's style. I am hoping of course that BOOM will start playing well and become as flexible as Nisha in their next tournament.

Last season, I remember Team Secret was ranked 35th something in the DPC and yet still able to join the TI in the last minutes of the season and performed well in TI.
