So akala ko kayo lang hinihingan ng new updates since ka-update ko lang last year. Kasi pagkaka-alam ko sa mga bangko ay 2 years dapat ang updates ng info sa kanilang mga clients. So kasali pala talaga ako sa new updates. May nareceive akong email telling me na meron deadline July 23 ata, after that I cannot use their services. So nagdeposit pa ko last week, and then nagulat na lang ako, hindi na pala ako pwede mag withdraw. Nakakagalit, dapat di na rin pwede magdeposit kung bawal din pala mag withdraw. Ngayon mapipilitan ako ulit mag comply para lang magwidraw ko yung latest deposit. Naisip ko na pagkatapos ko mawidraw ay murahin ko sila ng mga isang kilometro. Pero naisip ko na baka sa future mapipilitan din akong babalik sa Coins.

I think the war is coming to an end within the next few months. Germany and other European countries are fearing shortages of gas supply this winter. I really think they are trying hard to persuade Zelensky and top Ukrainian officials to just give up Crimea and the rebel regions of Donbas and Luhansk in exchange for something like membership in the EU right away and committing billions of euros to rebuild its country. Russia needs to play its cards very well in the next few months if it wants to secure its primary objectives in Ukraine (e.g., Crimea, Donbas, Luhansk, and NATO ban on Ukraine). Russia needs to end this quickly before western Europe can find alternatives for their food, gas, and oil supplies. Food especially wheat maybe difficult to find and expensive nowadays but there will be some countries that can take advantage of this like Australia boosting its wheat supply. Oil and gas are everywhere, it only needs time to construct more ports and tunnels into Europe.

The biggest possibility IMO would be 2024 and then another all-time high happens in the following year. I'm still rooting for the 4-year cycle as seen in the previous years. But I am hoping it will happen early. A lot mentioned $100k as its next highest destination. Apple, Saudi Aramco, and Microsoft are valued at $2 billion each. So I think $100k per bitcoin is very possible in the next few years. $420k per bitcoin is too high but still possible.

A common issue to some basketball players that relied only on their speed and strength. That is why more and more players really want to practice their shooting, big man or not, it helps to prolong their careers. Imagine Giannis 10 years from now if he cannot develop his shooting. Although the guy is developing and is somehow smart. Maybe he can play basic simple basketball like Tim Duncan when his body is past its prime. I think Westbrook's ego is also a problem. That would be hard to teach. Even during his younger years with KD and Harden, I think most of the time he's got more attempts than KD and others. 

I think it is the same exchange that sponsored a soccer team in Turkey some years ago. They indeed grew bigger and bigger.   

I read yesterday that Turkey is number one or second with the highest inflation. I am surprised, to be honest. I knew Lira continues to slide down since the 2016 failed coup but 78.6% is very very high. Is the Turkish government printing a lot of money too? I think Turkey is one of few countries that is benefitting from the current war in Ukraine. They are exporting a lot of weapons for that war. West Europe's winter is coming and they will be needing more supplies of gas from Azerbaijan where Turkey gets passage fees. More Russian businesses are also in Turkey and who knows maybe laundering money too.


I am not from Turkey but I read a lot of news articles this year and the Turkish government seemed positive about cryptocurrencies. I believe it wanted to attract many exchanges to do business in their country where the government can impose taxes. And if crypto is illegal then BtcTurk cannot sponsor its country's national team? Maybe it is illegal to use it as a form of payment only.     

Crawford will accept a lower share and it's nothing new. It's on Spence if he really wants to force that ridiculous 60/40 or even 70/30. I say 55/45 in favor of Spence should be fair enough. It's not like Spence is a huge PPV draw either so his previous demands were unreasonable. The event will most likely draw 500k to 1 million PPV buys. It's like Spence 250k and Crawford 150k and the huge chunk of the draw is because they are fighting each other.   

The latest in the grapevine is this will happen in November this year. So from early this year, then to October and now November. Does it look like Spence is still not confident to face his fears? So he is continuing to buy some time to make Crawford older and more inactive. Years of ducking and avoiding the boogeyman.

Just to inform, that I received the item I won. Thank you so much @2stout for this beautiful collectible.

So in the Chinese regional qualifier, powerhouse LGD went with my so-called plan B, join the tiebreakers and remove the no-hoper Aster.Aries. My bad. I lost that Aster bet as LGD just blitzkrieg their way to 2-0, both maps ended in less than 30 minutes. That's how good LGD is. And then they threw, I mean they lost to Aster in the tiebreakers. Too bad there aren't 1 map odds in my bookie. And it's annoying when they just forfeited to Extreme. I hope Valve will remove the right to forfeit.   

San Miguel Beermen
Barangay Ginebra Kings

This is common too. Someone removed a bad and corrupt leader or a dynasty but will end up establishing its own dynasty. A promising politician might become corrupt once positioned at the top. Earlier, the Rajapaksas were Sri Lanka's heroes. They played a huge role in ending its country's decades of civil war against the Tamil Tigers. The elder Rajapaksa also developed Sri Lanka's economy during its early reign. And all of a sudden, things went spiraling down fast. Probably due to many incompetent government officials especially in departments that played a huge role in its economy. It is known that nepotism was rampant within the Rajapaksa family.

As much as most of us hate a big mouth athlete. I'm kind of okay with Lopez choosing Campa as his first fight in super-lightweight and kind of return bout after his loss to Kambosos. Earlier, undisputed champion Josh Taylor mentioned he will move up in welterweight, thus all 4 belts will become vacant. Teofimo was surprised no one from these 4 sanctioning bodies ranked him 1 or 2, so he can just fight for a vacant belt. Now, Josh Taylor wanted a rematch with Jack Catterall before finally settling into another division.

 
***From Wikipedia (boxrec ranking was removed)
***TBRB was made when The Ring was purchased by Golden Boy Promotions citing conflict of interest.

Here are the current ranks in the super-lightweight division. I'm surprised Campa is unranked. If we look at Campa's record, I can recognize world-ranked contenders Aaron Herrera, ex-champ Jose Alfaro, and Marvin Quintero. He probably entered the top 10 during those years. But after that 2017 upset loss, he was fighting nobodies. Teofimo should stop expecting high gains from this fight. Although knowing Teofimo's popular name, these 4 sanctioning bodies might improve his ranking soon, especially the WBO, a close organization with Top Rank.

The best scenario for Teofimo to fight for a vacant belt here is the WBO. Jose Ramirez might accept a rematch with heavy-hitter Jose Zepeda for the vacant WBC. And most likely Catterall loses his rematch with Josh Taylor and will lose his rank. Now Teofimo can fight Liam Paro for the vacant WBO. Although I'm still hoping for Jose Ramirez to abandon the WBC and just wait after the Taylor-Catterall fight, so he can fight Liam Paro. But maybe Catterall will beat Josh Taylor in their rematch after their controversial first fight.

Nagkamali yung quote ko earlier. Buti naalala ko bawal pala magdelete at mag-edit. Pero baka ito yung pananggal ng sumpa at makaiskor nako muli mamaya.


Sa south ako banda boss. Dami pa din kasi mga term dito na Español at Spanish creole. Naisip ko tuloy kung nanatili pa ang Spanish language sating basic education. Will it be worth it? Or baka mas lumawak pa ang ating mga opportunities worldwide dahil halos lahat sa American continent puro Spanish. 

Day 15 Matches

Grabe ang alat lately. Nagpahinga na nga sa pagpredict ng ilang games pero ayaw matanggal ang sumpa. 2 points na lang natira saken kaya kailangan ko na muna maging matipid. Pass muna sa second game at baka pwede pa magyolo ang Phoenix. Ito namang ROS kailangan nilang bugbogin itong Farm Dyip para makapasok sa top 8. Baka kasi magpatalo yang Magnolia sa kanila para makuha ni Ginebra 3rd slot at maiwasan ang SMB vs Ginebra sa semis.   

Game1: 5:15 PM PH Time
ROS Elasto Painters -13.5
Terraferma Dyip +13.5

Mukhang taga Norte ka ah boss base sa bold text kasi Domingo = Sunday dito eh . Hula lang naman[/quote]
Taga south ako boss. Cuchara y tenedor.

Even before, Crawford already mentioned his willingness to accept the lower share. I forgot the exact number but he did talk in public about it. 45/55 I think. And there was also another option where the winner will take a certain percentage. I think it was fair. But obviously, it's Spence that really avoided Crawford over the years.

I disagree when some people mentioned that Crawford needs Spence because of his 3 belts compared to his 1 belt. Crawford even without fighting Spence has enough credits to enter the Hall of Fame. Spence's achievements are not enough to even get a nomination in the HoF. And if we talk about the money. Crawford was already receiving a minimum of $5 million per fight when Spence was just a hundred-thousand fighter. They're both rich and can move on from fighting each other. But if Spence cared about his career achievements, if he wants to enter the Hall of Fame then he needs Crawford for a chance to become undisputed. What more advantages does Spence want against Crawford? He was scared for many years when was approached by Crawford. Did Spence get a Crawfordphobia after that incident? Now he got a chance to fight an almost 1 year inactive and older version of Crawford.

Otherwise, Crawford can just activate a WBO mandatory status in super welterweight where Jermell Charlo holds all 4 belts and the Ring belt. A chance to become a 4 division world champion, a 3 time Ring/lineal champion, and the first to become a 2 division undisputed champion (4-belt era).

This is very common in boxing. It's in their blood. They grew up fighting since they were a kid, then in the amateurs until they turned into professionals. Boxing is their life. I believe more than half in the Hall of Fame made returns or continued to fight past their primes. From Muhammad Ali to Roy Jones Jr.

Although some continued fighting for monetary purposes. Many boxers aren't well educated or they simply do not have basic financial education and many of them went bankrupt. Mike Tyson for example.

I can only name a few that retired for good while they're still on top. Andre Ward is probably the only ATG that retired in its early 30s. Finito Lopez and Joe Calzaghe were in their mid-30s while Floyd Mayweather Jr, Lennox Lewis, and Vitali Klitschko extended their careers in their late 30s but they finally retired before losing to the younger contenders.

Has anybody watched Team Spirit and BetBoom series yesterday? That was insane. I lost my bet on the second map so tripled it on the third map. That was unreal, especially on the deciding map. I cannot count how many times its momentum switches sides. In the end, Team Spirit prevailed.

It's just my thought that OG Notail does not like Puppey, its long-time rival. So I was contemplating betting on Liquid on their regular series. But I'm supposed to bet on OG when it comes to the tie-breaker series. Luckily I fell asleep during the 2nd map tie-breaker series with Secret and Entity. I really thought Secret can manage to close the series in the 2nd map. What a heartbreaking loss to Puppey.

I don't like Gabbi either. When T1 announced they are letting go of 23savage I was surprised but when rumors leaked that it was due to his attitude then I was like "okay". There were even rumors that Ana will replace 23savage. But when they announced that Gabbi becomes the permanent replacement, I felt disgruntled because I think they just downgraded the team.  

I just have the feeling that LGD was not playing seriously in some of its matches to let the other Chinese teams catch up for a chance in TI. They have already secured in the TI anyway. RNG win or lose is already in the top or 2nd spot. Provided Aster beats LGD and wins over RNG in the tiebreakers, I think 1140 points is enough to join TI, if they lose to RNG then they need at least an 8th finish in Arlington to join TI. But maybe LGD will play seriously against Aster and will take the no-hoper Aster.Aries out.

OG losing to Liquid somehow indirectly affected Team Secret. It minimized Team Secret's chances to qualify. Because if OG won, there could've been 2 slots available for Entity, Team Secret, and Team Liquid. And Team Secret already smashed Team Liquid before with 2-0. Now Team Secret will play against Entity whom they already lost earlier. It's a tougher game to them I believe.

Regional eliminators are getting more interesting and exciting in their latest stage. I will try to YOLO on Team Aster as LGD may not play seriously.

In South America, regional favorites beastcoast and Thunder Awaken will still battle it out, with the loser in danger of losing the last slot to Infamous.

In North America things are getting more colorful too with regional powerhouse EG and Quincy threatened by nouns.

In eastern Europe, favorites Team Spirit and BetBoom Team are all of a sudden on the brink of elimination with only 1 of them heading to Arlington. Unless NaVi and Outsiders will suffer upsets in their last matches which seem unlikely.

In Southeast Asia, newcomer Talon Esports surprisingly secured a slot, endangering T1 or even Fnatic. Currently watching Fnatic and T1. Hoping Fnatic will win in order to seal their slot to Arlington.

There are too many rumors circulating but they were really vague as both camps and Showtime will try not to offend each other with the ongoing negotiations. So it's like we can only say that news is only reliable when it comes directly from Espinoza head of Showtime, Al Haymon of PBC, Ellerbe the manager of Spence, Spence himself, and Crawford himself. Stephen Espinoza of Showtime said this week that he is confident of a deal this month.

Errol Spence also said this week that a fight deal is near. But how near? I read another rumor that Spence is actually fine with the terms and that it is Crawford's monetary demands that are difficult to negotiate. These people aren't giving figures and numbers though so we do not have any idea what's going on. And we do not know if Crawford's demand is fair or not. Because clearly, Crawford is presenting himself in hostile territory with the fight itself aired by Spence's network and promoted by Spence's promoter.
 

Really tough times for Ph professional boxing. Because last year was its golden age in amateur boxing and in overall sports in general achieving gold, silver, and bronze medals in the Olympics.

I think Donaire, Pacman, and Nietes are done simply because they are too old to compete in this hurting sport. I am banking on former world champions, Casimero, Tapales, Ancajas, Cuarto and Taduran in order. They are experienced at the world level and were former champions, especially Casimero already a 3 division champion. Taduran and Cuarto are very talented in their division but if they keep on fighting in enemy territories then they will be easily exploited by bad officiating.

I don't have much confidence in Magsayo because he's too raw. In all his last fights in the US, he actually struggled against cherry-picked opponents. Thanks to his punching power, he barely escaped defeats although still wild with no proper setups. He also became a world champion because Russell Jr.'s other hand was injured plus his long inactivity. Magsayo's punching power nearly saved him again from Vargas but came up short due to his lack of boxing technique he failed to capitalize on some moments where Vargas was visibly hurt. I really hope that he can execute Freddie Roach's game plan in his next fight.

As for Nietes. Hope he retires and enjoys the fruits of his hard labor. And for Ioka. I want to see him unify the belts. The division is filled with very good names like El Gallo, Chocolatito, the new kid in town Bam Rodriguez, and Ancajas.  

It's always a relief seeing these brash fighters losing badly. Adrien Broner losing to Maidana was one of the best feelings I had as a hardcore fan of boxing. A bad beating has psychological effects and many fighters were not the same in their next fights. That is why many top fighters need tune-up/s, especially when coming from tough defeats in order to recondition themselves but many of them cannot return to their former selves. And AB is one of them.


I think Broner's career as a world-level fighter is done already. Including Figgy too. They're still in their early 30s but I just think the fire is not there anymore. They're only here for money but of course, they will still do their best to win.

AB wanted to become the next Mayweather but in reality, I felt like they were nearly the opposite. He is arrogant but somehow he was not cherry-picking during his prime years and I give him credit for that. Moving up 2 divisions to fight then-world champion Paulie Malignaggi. And despite barely winning against Malignaggi, he picked a very dangerous opponent in Maidana in his first welterweight world title defense. These career moves were not Mayweatherish. Adrien was also exciting and brave inside the ring. Guy got a big heart when he continued fighting despite receiving too many heavy blows from Maidana. But somehow the heavy beating affected him mentally. He was never the same again.

I can't find the betting odds. But I think this is a 50/50 fight knowing both are equally inactive. Oddsmakers are probably having a hard time assessing both fighters. Adrien got better skills but if cannot move like before, Omar will have the advantage since he is the natural brawler of the two.
