Yeah, hehehe, we have been discussing his name on the other thread, it's just this makes it's official now that Canelo will have a 'tune-up' fight against Ryder. He needs to put his belt on the line here, and it's going to be a homecoming fight for Canelo in Mexico. For sure, the fans are still going to buy the tickets even if he is facing lesser known opposition.

Good payday for Ryder though, for the kick off press conference and face-off, here is the video below:

And it's not just the Warriors are good playing at home, if you look at the first 5 positions in both divisions, both have a winning record in their home court. It's that we enjoy watching them winning at home because they shoot very good, regardless of who their competition is. Just like against the Suns, they blow them up and Phoenix try to make a comeback, however, they step on the pedal again with their good shooting %.


It's gonna be hard for the depending champs, specially they don't have Wiggins in the lineup and how their championship team has been broken this year. So we will see how they are going to fair in this 5 road games. I think 3 of that games could be winnable for them.

Thanks for the clarification mate, indeed, we will only see or hear what gamblers are going to tell us, those big wins. But at least you open everything with those big bets that you put and it seems that it was a "sure win", nevertheless it was a very bad break to lose those games with incredible odds to win. Just surprises me though that you got a ton of PM's regarding your huge wins, hehehe. Still base on luck though, so I guess for them, they should take that risk and maybe one day they can win big just like what you reach the last time. Right now I'm on a losing streak myself, Lol, but I do know that one of this days, maybe lucky luck will smile on me. 

We have to wait, (crossing our fingers), waking out to see the price again on the verge of breaking $25k. But after a few hours, it's on the lows of $24k, still though plenty of time for us for this March. And when we thought that this could be another bad March month, turns out to be some good rally and again, who knows, maybe we can finally go at $25k and be that support line. Of course, when we had 2 digits rally point, there could be some good news. And it was about the US Reserves says that they are going to inject liquidity to the US market. And this is going to be a relieved as it will have a domino effect and we have seen it already as traditional financial markets had good rally today as well.

And here is the official statement from the US agencies: https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20230312b.htm

Its' not PPV (Pay Per View), it's the tickets for the live gates, meaning it's in the venue themselves. And we all know that there are price ranges. The closer you are (VIP tickets) to the boxing ring itself, the more the tickets become expensive. And in this fight, there could be celebrities, stars, athletes, boxers themselves or anyone that is rich that can afford that can of amount.

As for the PPV, we may later know the numbers once Nielsen Media Television Ratings or even the promoters themselves. There could be some small discrepancies in numbers though, but it will be close enough to come up with a good enough numbers based on the data.

There is one comprehensive thread by @GazetaBitcoin regarding Bitcoin: The dream of Cypherpunks, libertarians and crypto-anarchists.

And also this one: Cypherpunks - 1992 by @VB1001.

Yeah, but we don't know if only Loma doesn't like to insert a rematch clause or both of them. And maybe he doesn't want the boxing world that he has his injury to be an excuse if he lost, so he proceeds with it. Just like when Russell fought Magsayo, he could have postponed the fight until it healed. But at the Lom vs Lopez, it's a high stake prize and for sure Lopez will say that Loma duck him with that injury excused. But it's history now, Teo doesn't have the belt anymore and Haney has his time when he beat Kambosos twice. Of course we wanted to see a 100% Loma against the big mouth Teo Lopez, but he is now a welterweight and Loma will not go that high and most likely stay at 135 lbs for years or when he retires.

Thanks again for those boxing fans who made this thread alive before the actual fight. In summary, Tim Tszyu beat Tony Harrison in the 9th round.

Now we are expecting that Tim Tszyu will fight Jermell Charlo in the US sometime this year as Charlo is in the process of healing his injuries. And with this win by Tim, there's no doubt that he deserves a crack against the champion. So we will see in the future, Charlo says that he is going to be ready and that Harrison is never been the same after he beat him. Nevertheless, I will say impressive win by Tim Tszyu.

I agree though, it's not a bad side in general, it is what it is, we have the odds favorite and the underdog. And no matter what, in negotiations, there will always be something that will be in disagreement, and it can only be settled if the other side is willing to make a compromise and make that adjustments. And in this case, Garcia says "Yes", because he wants the fight to be done no matter what will be those unfavorable proviso in the contract. No more speculation and waiting, just like the failed supposedly fight between two of the best and unbeaten fighter, Spence and Crawford. And with that, now we are going to see one of the best fights for this year, or maybe the best fights if this is going to be a battle inside the ring.

Very bad decision in my opinion, his mentality though, I somewhat pity this guy, like selling all what he inherited from his parents. Might be worst if he has a family of his own as it will be a big problem because he needs to bring food in the table. If only he will realized what he has doing is wrong, maybe he can change his life for the better. We don't want to hear from his selling everything to gamble until one day he doesn't have any assets and start to live in the streets and begging money for others just to survived.

No, Ja Morant is out indefinitely by suspension. Yes, the Memphis is somewhat on the losing streak, and then the Mavs 0-2 right now. And the most important factor while they are the underdogs is that Kyrie and Luka are still out.


Interesting that you brought out the numbers, against their lost to the Bulls, Luka didn't get a triple double, and they say it was one of the reasons for that big blow out lost against Chicago. But against their back to back losses, he had, very close triple double numbers but they still lost.

They are still the top seed, but they are showing their weakness right now, just like the Boston Celtics when they had a losing skid. So they need a good win, last 10 is 6-4. Tomorrow will be against the Raptors and I will say that it is a must win for them.

Yeah mate, 0/2 for me, I did watch the Spurs vs OKC game in the 4th, I thought I have a chance to at least a 3.5 as they kept coming back. But at the beginning of the 4th, a missed easy lay-up and I say that my bet is over by that time.

The Knicks on the other hand, started very hot in the first quarter, Randle 18 points in the first alone. But the Lakers also made a good run and even was like 2 points down in the 4th. But tired legs I guess, they shouldn't allow the Knicks though with like a momentum throughout that game.

Caleb said that he was surprised by Benavidez antics, for him it's just a show and let everyone knows that he is the tougher guy. But Caleb is not deter with all the talks according to him. He will really come full prepared in this fight and as we have said, he seems to rediscovered his punching power, specially with how he knockouts Dirrell with that left hook. Just a couple of days from this fight, the face-off in the weigh-in will be huge for the fans and again we should expect the trash talking specially from David, and Caleb be cool with that or either shows his emotions. Plant is still 3:1 underdog in this fight.

Sooner or later, Harrison will really felt the power of Tim and I have the speculation that the weather really affected him in Australia, but that is not an a excuse the better fighter won.


I think the contract is still in, and if Charlo backs out of this fight, it will be a clear duck and so it will affect his reputation.


The best weapon of Harrison is just the jab, and then Tim has a way to respond, looping right now and just moving his head left and right. So he take 1 shot in the face, but he then threw 1-2 punch in return and it was all power behind that. So perhaps he is willing to get hit, just to dish out his own punishment. But I guess it will be a different strategy against Charlo as obviously, he has more power, so Tim's chin will be tested and see if it can hold up to Charlo's power.

Lopez though doesn't want to give Loma a rematch, because according to him, they acted like a d**k, and even if there is no rematch clause, both are under Top Rank and Bob Arum loves that rematch because all the money is going to be in-house. But as karma struck, Lopez fought Kambosos, very proud and brandish that he will knock out the Australian, but instead he was outsmart by Kambosos and then they themselves didn't get a rematch or pursue it and just step up in the next weight class.


It could be his last chance to his dream of becoming undisputed, so let's see if Loma is really done and way out of his prime and the Haney is the man at 135 lb.s So if Loma still have some in his tank to win and becoming undisputed.

As I have said in the past FED's announcement with regards to US numbers will also be bad for us. But the thing is that most crypto investors are very well aware of the impact and thus, maybe just waiting for the price to go down more, as you have said, < $20k and then started to stock pile again. And even with the Silvergate and the USDC issues in the last couple of days, the price didn't go that way below as others might have expected. Again, after that dip to $19k'ish, market has now bounce back to $22k. $100k might be our wish for now, but we all know that this is achievable in the next bull run.  . And we all know how time flies in this market, the next thing we are already in the bull run and then we go back reading this old threads and we look at how and what we wish, Lol.

True, that's one way to attract new users to their platform, put the magic word, "No KYC", but then when the users won big money and wanted to withdraw that's when some casinos stop them by asking personal documents and go thru KYC. And that's where all the accusations started because of this. So still up to us to be very careful specially new casinos popping up regarding KYC and withdrawals rules.


I guess KYC seems to be mandatory right now. Gone are the days wherein you just need a bitcoin address for withdrawal and then you are all set. So it's either we adapt or guess be selective of casinos that we are going to play as not to get trap by this whole KYC when we won.

I'm looking at the Spurs vs OKC and I'm thinking that the Spurs might pull another upset win again?

So in any case, a ML line for them @2.36 and also 3.5 @1.96.

Knicks vs Lakers - Knicks is on a slump recently, so Lakers -2.5 @1.90.

2 pages back, @inthelongrun has posted the official date already, and the OP has acknowledge it but perhaps to just update the title of the thread.

As far as upsets, Fulton is the champion and a live dog, so it's possible, but it's unlikely to happen because of what we have seen on Inoue in his last couple of fights in 118 lbs. He just tear up that division, knockout Donaire and then gets the last of the belt against Butler with another knockout win as well. This might be a new division for him, but it just just 4 lbs of his last weight class so we don't see any problem and on the contrary, it might help him a lot because he doesn't have to weight drain himself trying to make the weight. And it will be in his native Japan, so Fulton will have to travel and put his belt on the line against the Monster, which could be a difficult task.

And so far the odds are per Stake:

It's over now, the Nuggets still on the losing skid, they just lost to the Brooklyn Nets. But it was a good game as they comeback from a 11 deficit in the 4th quarter and just lost by 2 points. Jokic has the chance to take the lead, but he was double team. And then they foul and sent Bridges to the line with 1.8 seconds like, making 1 out 2. And in the final seconds, Jokic has again had the ball in his hands, but it was a bad shot in my opinion. They are still seeded number 1 in the West and slim chance to lost that seeding. However, they need to start to win again. This lost is big because it's in their homecourt. They will have to travel to Toronto for their next game.
