It is a very very difficult task since you will be fighting the other champions which is very challenging already but there's also boxing politics. Champions are not obliged to fight the other champions. Negotiating with the other champions is already a tough one and it will be more difficult if the promoter is different the most difficult to deal with are the top networks namely DAZN, Showtime/Fox, and ESPN. That is why most fighters just prioritized getting the Ring belt and the lineal recognition in order to be considered the best of the division and then move up in weight for another challenge.

I am very excited as to who will be the first fighter to take that record. Before, my favorite to win it is Terrence Crawford as he only needs to fight Errol Spence to become a 2-division undisputed and then impose a mandatory on undisputed champion Jermell Charlo for a chance to become the first 3-division unified champion in this 4-belt era. But then Spence and his friend Charlo together with their handler PBC are not allowing it to happen. Now Crawford is getting older and he might not be able to get it. The next in line is unified heavyweight champion Oleksandyr Usyk although the task to take the last remaining belt which is the WBC might be very tough as Tyson Fury is the one holding it. But I am optimistic Usyk can beat Fury especially if the fight is held in a neutral location.

Canelo is a unified champion in 3 divisions but he failed to complete the task to collect all the belts except at super middleweight. I think the WBO champion at middleweight at that time was Billy Joe Saunders. I became a BJS fan when he took the fight against the arrogant Eubank Jr. But later on, I hated BJS a lot when he became the WBO champion and hostage the undisputed recognition. GGG already held 3 belts at that time but BJS was a dick. And then came Canelo who controversially robbed GGG's 3 belts, still unable to reach a deal with BJS too. Canelo and BJS fought later at super middleweight to unify the WBA, WBC, and WBO belts which the Mexican superstar won in a close fight.

What do we expect from a corrupt system? I am not bashing the president, I know the guy won by a landslide and he might want to improve the nation. But the whole system run by politicians and government officials, in general, is rigged and corruption is too rampant from the top down to the lowest position. Laws are not for the masses but for the rich and giant corporations who's been paying and sponsoring these government officials.

Regarding the basic commodities in the country, hoarding is rampant. Exploitations of farmers are rampant. Many times the government noticed these over the years yet I never heard of people being arrested.

Earlier all the votes were uniform since we predicted Beterbiev to win by KO/TKO and then later we have 1 vote for a draw. All I can say is Yarde has the balls to challenge the beast from the east. Beterbiev though is getting old so he is not the same beast that seemed vulnerable in the past. But what is left of Beterbiev right now is enough to demolish anyone, so we will see if Yarde can take advantage of probably a slower and less strong version of the champion. And Yarde is fighting in his backyard too so hopefully the officiating will be fair.   

Odds are one-sided since Beterbiev remained unbeaten over the years. The champion is holding 3 belts and is only 1 fight away from becoming an undisputed champion. Here are the odds look like from BK8.



I would rather bet small on a Yarde KO/TKO and Yarde by decision since the fight is happening in England and who knows the referee might allow Yarde to hold a lot and the judges might give the close rounds to the home fighter.

That's big bad news for Chicago Bulls. Just as they are starting to heat up and are on a 3-game winning streak with wins over top of the teams Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers. DeRozan mentioned that the injury was already there but he continued to play for 8 games and then it deteriorated. I wonder what is next, especially since LaVine earlier was hinting at a move to another team. Quad injuries will most likely be healed after a month but the Bulls do not have enough time since they are at the bottom of the rankings.

To those big fans of ONE Championship. 18-year-old prospect Victoria Lee 3-0, the sister of reigning champions Angela Lee and Christian Lee last December 26. I cannot see any news about the cause of her death but a source mentioned she shot herself in the head. And that there was a heated argument with her dad as Victoria wanted to go to college and which means taking a pause on her blossoming MMA career. Rest in peace Victoria.

Rising MMA star Victoria Lee dies at 18

You don't need two motorbikes anyways, so just sell the other one and use the proceeds to earn more money. Not a guarantee but I am very optimistic that bitcoin will return to its previous ATH. If someone will offer a fair price for my house, I will sell it and use some of the proceeds to buy bitcoin.

OP mentioned its inexperienced in bitcoin investment. So be careful because there are a lot of scammers lurking online. Avoid entertaining direct messages as some of them might have bad intentions. There is no need to DM on your case anyways since we can post here as much as we want.

Here is a link about bitcoin. [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why?

Same here. I am planning to live alone this year. I want to focus on myself and stop thinking about others that are actually not my responsibility. I want to take advantage of the opportunities that are up for grabs, especially since next year is already the halving of bitcoin. I need to save more funds because bitcoin halvings only happen once every 4 years. This might be the only chance that bitcoin can grow to a minimum of 500% since growth will slow down and there might be price stability once the bitcoin market reaches trillions of dollars.

I already have many altcoins on my list but I am starting to doubt more. I already have a long list of altcoins since last year but so far I only have ETH, BNB, and very tiny amounts of other altcoins. Syscoin is one of my main priorities to buy in the first quarter of this year. If you ask me why just look at their historical price. Another thing that comes to my mind are projects for decentralized social media, metaverse, and then the play-to-earn games. There are always room for improvements and this year we will be getting some innovations of projects that failed to work in the last years like play-to-earn games.

That's cool mate. But you are not quitting your job in order to become a trader right? You should only do trades in your free time. If you are getting confident after a week of trading then maybe try to increase your capital to $100. Always start small and only increase it little by little depending on your confidence. You can feel it anyways but do not get too overexcited because the crypto market can swing big time. A single losing trade can erase your whole month of hard-earned profit. Take your time because there is no such thing as late when it comes to trading. There are always opportunities when you become a good trader.

The future of decentralized exchanges will grow but centralized exchanges will continue to grow too. The features offered by centralized exchanges are just way too good that it is hard to stop using them. People learning from the previous tragedies of FTX and others will continue to use centralized exchanges but they will not store big amounts as before. Active traders will be the only ones that will leave their funds in centralized exchanges. I am sorry but active trading on decentralized exchanges isn't as convenient as centralized exchanges.

Welcome to the world of bitcoin mate. 2023 is a good start in investing in bitcoin. Make a DCA or dollar-cost-averaging, I am buying bitcoin monthly. Take note that next year is already the halving year. There are no bad years in the halving history of bitcoin. And it is always the following year after the halving that the price of bitcoin reaches higher than its halving year. My plan is to buy bitcoin monthly until the halving year only.

But before investing. Of course, you need to learn and understand what is bitcoin. It is also a must that you understand how to secure your bitcoins as there are a lot of scammers online. Avoid entertaining direct messages from strangers since everything you need to ask is available in this forum.

We are in the same situation as last year. I have nearly the same win rate ratio. Luck was not on our side last year, so I guess our luck will be this year. Continues losing on bets can lead to personal problems but luckily for some of us who's been here for many years, we became responsible gamblers and learned a lot about the nature of gambling and we survived the struggles in the past. The golden rule is to always gamble money we can afford to lose and that gambling is a form of entertainment and not earning for living purposes.

I would not call Qatar's ambitious hosting of the World Cup a losing one. The moment they bid and commit to spending hundreds of billions of dollars means they do not care about financial profit in the specific event. Qatar has the vision to modernize and tries to balance its economy from oil and gas dependence. It wanted to become a tourist attraction like Dubai and a financial hub like Singapore. Tiny Qatar also wanted to play a role in the world, be it in politics, sports, or anything under the sun. Government-owned Qatar Airways is always at the top as the best airline in the world. The new Qatar railway is also one of the best in the world. Al Jazeera is becoming a mainstream channel in many parts of the world.

Wow! Never pa talaga ako nakapuntang Bora. Mas maganda ba talaga dun kaysa Palawan at ibang top tourist attractions sa Pinas? Kung di lang binagyo yung investments ko baka magpunta din akong Bora at sislip-silip sa event nato. Pero sympre manatiling anonymous at low-key parin kahit mahirap lang.

So far I am not even thinking about what the price of bitcoin should I sell. I haven't even transferred some of my losing stock investments into bitcoin. I am still occupied by the excitement and determination to accumulate more while the price is still low. Maybe I will not sell them unless I need to use the money but I am hoping to hold it as long as I can. My primary goal is to earn life-changing profits out of it and not the small gains from small and temporary pumps.

Another plan to maximize my bitcoins is to trade. Maybe I will start trading again this year.

Thanks for this.

PBC is indeed one of the biggest in boxing. PBC has the biggest talents in welterweight and light-middleweight, the same reason Crawford (formerly from Top Rank) is stacked after successfully winning belts from lightweight to light-welterweight. I am curious to know the exact numbers but it should be PBC, Matchroom, and Top Rank having the most world champions at the moment. When it comes to talent and skills, I think Top Rank continues to dominate it having Fury, Inoue, Haney, Shakur, Josh Taylor, etc. But in terms of budget, I believe PBC is the 2nd having partnered with Showtime and Fox. Matchroom partnered with DAZN has the biggest budget with many cash cows like Canelo, Joshua, and Usyk. Top Rank partnering with ESPN is coming 3rd but it is pretty impressive that it has the deepest talents in boxing right now. Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions remained alive and should be 4th with its partnership with DAZN. GBP was beating Top Rank before and became the biggest promotion before being tricked which gave birth to PBC which then took nearly all of its big names and champions. After that, GBP lost Canelo to Matchroom as well.

In the past, there was only HBO and Showtime competing and there were no exclusive deals with the promoters. A promoter can sell a fight to either of the networks. Nowadays there are 3 giant networks DAZN, Showtime, and ESPN and they have exclusive deals with their promoters. So aside from the Mayweather Jr. effects which focus mostly on money, it is more difficult for fighters from different sides to reach a deal since the networks will have their say too and there are also promotional rivalries. 

So the Utah Jazz continues to shop and lobby its players that step up in an incredible early season performance. Obviously, Utah Jazz wants a better chance of getting this year's potential top pick, the 19-year-old Victor Wembanyama. And its supposedly rebuilding roster is still fighting in the top 8 playoff spot which isn't beneficial for Utah's real goal. In late December, they rejected a proposal to send Malik Beasly and Jarred Vanderbilt to the struggling Phoenix Suns. Utah wanted more future first-round picks for these guys. At present Utah has to step up its shopping because the trade deadline is approaching. They still have tradeable valuable assets like Clarkson, Markannen, Vanderbilt, Sexton, and Beasly if they want to lose more games this season for the Wembanyama lottery and to add more future draft picks. So far Utah already has a whooping 7 future first-round draft picks.

As you wished. The fight ended with another stoppage in favor of Tank. I don't even know if it was the real strategy of Hector if he was given the right time to train which is 2 to 3 months. He was supposed to give be more active in the early rounds and bully the slow starter Tank with his jabs. Maybe Hector was saving energy in order to survive in the late rounds which is unusual because he is not a KO artist and is used to fighting in long rounds.

Anyways, we will see if the Tank will really face Kingry. It will be the battle of the top cherry-pickers in boxing. Although Kingry is not yet a world champion so maybe it's an excuse to fight nobodies and has-beens. Kingry canceling his tune-up bout makes him nearly a year inactive if he faces Tank in April or onwards. Honestly, I do not see Kingry winning against Tank.
