Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Kasabus]

There is this news circulating in the net today that the 8 world division champion Manny Pacquiao will have an exhibition match against a Thai Boxing Legend Buakaw Banchamek.  It was reveal that the $25m exhibition fights will have a six rounds of boxing and they will be fighting @ 154 lbs.  There is a belt at stake here called WBC Legend Belt and will be given to whomever won the fight.  Though it has not been confirmed whether it will be considered a professional fight or an exhibition fight.

I see, I was under the impression where Manny Pacquiao was set to face his former sparring partner, Jaber Zayani, somewhere in UAE or Saudi Arabia as that was the hot news a couple of months ago after Pacquiao fought that professional karate clown from South Korea (I obviously forgot what was his name).

But for some reasons, maybe there wasn't any hype established and so both camps decided to forfeit it and this time, the boxing legend will face a local Thai legend in a boxing fight. Hopefully this time, it will be more entertaining compared to that recent fight where Pacquiao had where it's clear that the arena wasn't even half full.

the fight with the Muay Thai icon is an exhibition fight, he is not a Thai boxing legend. so this Banchamek is a Muay Thai legend vs Pacquiao a boxing legend, hence, the fight is billed as "The Match of Legends" ref article
for sure, if there will be betting lines, i will put money on pacquiao here as this exhibition match is based in boxing terms. even this Thai is predicting will be knocked out in first round.

Surely these sports outlets wasn't taking their research thoroughly and seriously because they have thought that Banchamek is a boxing legend in Thailand.
And in this article: Manny Pacquiao to Fight Thai Boxing Legend in $25M Exhibition, they are also saying the same thing just for the sake of delivering the news as fast as possible even if their facts wasn't that straight and even misleading.

Well, this should be good because I know Thai fighters aren't something to messed with or taking things lightly and if it's said that they will have a fight, it is also expected that they are also very serious about it. A legend vs legend, seems interesting.

Yup, if it's for real then we will see two greatness competing inside the ring, it will going to be a tough fight since both are no longer active from the sports that they are being well-known, though for sure they are still doing some of their routine, but in terms of fighting capabilities most of us are expecting to see more out from Pacquiao.

Let see if how he will perform and provide entertainment and enjoyment for those who will going to support him in this possible upcoming fight.

[bbc.reporter]

Does anyone follow Dillon Danis on social media? He is going to fight Logan Paul in boxing on October 14 as part of the event of KSI vs Tommy Fury.

I don't know him but it seems that they're going to bag money again.

In any case, this is very funny. Dillon has been sharing pictures of Logan's fiancee with more than 10 different men and one of them was the fiancee dating Riffraff who appears to be not a very good human hehehe. Logan's response was a filing of a cease and desist order to stop the trolling. It appears everything is not good in paradise.



Whether he is fighting or not, Dillion Danis has never stopped flocking to social media, talking trash to and trolling countless people. So naturally, he has amped up these antics since the bout between he and Logan Paul was announced, posting pictures of Paul's girlfriend with various celebrities and ex's in order to mess with his foe.

Apparently, these trolling posts have led to Danis being contacted by Paul and his team, with them apparently telling the Bellator fighter to cease and desist the trolling, apparently even contacting authorities, otherwise Paul will withdraw from the contest.

If these are for real, I guess they're doing it as timely because of the upcoming fight. If this is what Dillon has been doing, he's having fun and trying to mental breakdown people like Logan or whomever he's going to be in his way. What a coincidence because I've just watched a vide of Logan that he just went to his girlfriend's crib with a surprise.

Tommy Fury is the brother of Tyson Fury. He also won against Jake Paul on February. KSI is another youtuber who also likes to fight in boxing very much like Jake and Logan hehehee. It appears we will witness another boxing event where there are professional fighters vs. youtubers.

Also, we cannot be certain if those pictures are real. I reckon Danis has shared more than 50 pictures of Logan's fiancee with different men, including older men. If this is real, Logan should reflect on his marriage proposal.

Rolly cannot hold his belt for long because he is the easiest of all the champions. Maybe what PBC wants here is to let another PBC fighter take the belt rather than lost it to rival networks and promotions. Ohara is now with GBP and DAZN so Al Hymen is trying to manipulate the system once again.

For sure Rolando Romero doesn't know what he is talking about, that he can attain a level like Manny Pacquiao he looks like he has Autism sorry about people that has Autism I surely never view this kind of thing negatively but Rolando Romero is like an Autistic dude that still remained in his childish ways, for sure if he fought Ryan Garcia this will surely end his reign for sure,

Rolando Romero is just a talkative person. And talkative people at times just talk and talk without even thinking. Maybe Romero has ADHD, who knows? But his confidence is at the other level. He is a very funny guy and probably thought he is handsome. He said Pacquiao has the ugliest style in boxing and that Tank Davis looks like a koala. He also said he felt bad that Devin Haney was born with poor genetics like having a big nose and being very ugly. Yet there was a time when he called Devin his son and that he is the biological dad. After his knockout lost to Tank at 135, he said that he is big in the division so he wants to move up 2 divisions at 147 and fight Errol Spence. He said 140 is a no-name division yet he is now campaigning at 140 with a belt gifted to him by the WBA and PBC.

He doesn't deserve a belt, PBC and corrupt WBA worked their magic to give him the title. He was knocked out at 135 by Tank and then he moves up to 140 for a vacant WBAbelt against an old man who gave him life and death but only for the referee to stop the fight favoring him. As Crawford said, boxing is one of the most corrupt sports if not the most corrupt.

Meanwhile, Sugar Sean O'Malley made a huge upset last weekend and became champion in the UFC. So it seems like the guy wants to cash out big time while he is still a champion by challenging Tank Davis in a boxing match. And then Ryan Garcia responded.

^I don't understand why SugaSean wants to jump into boxing and challenge Tank Davis. Yes, he has a strong punching ability but that doesn't mean it's as strong as the boxers who always train their fists. And, he is still building his career in MMA. He may have won the title against Sterling but he needs to prove that he can keep it first. There are still strong fighters out there in UFC so the competition will not stop yet. Defending the belt will be a big trial for him. Hungry fighters will come and he should stay ready because there might be someone else already eyeing to challenge him.

Possible that he loves watching McGregor or idolizing him or he might want to have that luxurious money that McGregor receives after fighting Mayweather, as we all know that the revenue with Tank vs Ryan was a big success.

If he can hype that challenge and promoters will arrange the negotiation, we never know if how much money both
camps will earn if the fight takes place.

Just my opinion and whatever the reason for Sean to call and challenge Tank more on his own reason and maybe
we might hear some updates if there's a possibility that it will happen.

It's all about the money mate, we have seen the precedent with Conor McGregor fighting Floyd and it did bring Conor huge money. So he wanted to follow Conor's footsteps this early. And so he challenge Tank Davis but I doubt that Tank will simply bite on that call.

But I do agree that SugaSean should stay on his own lane right way, he should proved his greatness first in the UFC and become the face of it since Conor is already out of the league and becoming a businessman. And for sure Dana White will not be approving that cross fight if SugaSean requested it.

Oh yeah, I remember that name, not sure what happen though? the fight might have been cancelled obviously as Manny is moving on to fight another MMA fighter from Thailand.

We really don't see the reasons why they need to hype though, I mean Floyd fighting someone in a weeks notice and we haven't heard the name of his opponent. Maybe Manny doesn't like the idea or he is just busy with this duty in the Philippines. But now he has time so he has scheduled it against Buakaw and for a good price money on the line.

Hehehehehe King Ry is making me laugh and shake my head. It appears that after his loss to Tank Davis, he is trying to find his own opportunity to get the easiest opponent with the possbility to get a big purse and get his name back in favor with the boxing community and the sports news media hehehee.

If he did not fight Tank Davis, I reckon Suga Sean would have been a better fight fight for Ryan Garcia competitively, financially and for his career. It would have been a positive for him in everything.

Yes, there's no other reasons other than money on why would SugaSean try to call out Tank Davis. To be frank, he is way too early to make this step because he haven't made a name in his own field yet which is also a reason why would Tank accept his invitation. There are way more challenges in his current career that he needs to face and jumping towards other sports industry is certainly not an answer because eventually, he will lose himself as money is his only motivation.

If this fight is officially happen, I will not surprised to see Sean O'Malley will not extend UFC contract and move to boxing or another MMA promotion that give him a way to fight in boxing. Maybe he can stay in UFC, proving if he's really worth with his title and make a big fight with Conor. But that big money is only fight with Conor, while boxing he can take many matches and make a lot money in every matches.

It's going to be a wrong move though for SugaSean if he wanted to fight Davis right away. He should stay on his path, in UFC and then defend his belt and that's where he should chase his greatness first before going out and look for money fights.

For sure, Dana White is not going to let this thing specially if he had a huge contract with UFC. Maybe if he doesn't have any contract, but for sure, Davis is not interested here, he will just focus on his boxing career and win some real belts.

Dana White may intervene but if the amount of money is something that he can't resist, we may see the fight to take place, my take is if pride will take place, Davis might accept it knowing his edge against Sean and humiliating him in front of many eyes, that's something that Davis may take inside his mind.

Though it's not ours to decide, still depends if there's negotiation and if promoters will bring things into the table.

More on the business side though, if the price is right there's no one can stop things from happening, both sides for sure will take it and work things out to take place.

We will have another Filipino fighting for a world title here:



https://www.boxingscene.com/photos-oscar-collazo-garen-diagan-set-wbo-title-clash-puerto-rico--177221

It's for the WBO Mini Flyweight, Oscar "El Pupilo" Collazo vs PH Garen "Hellboy" Diagan

If you will remember, Collazo knockout the former champion, another Filipino Melvin Jerusalem to get that belt. Now he has to defend it against another Filipino in Diagan. I know it's going to be tough for Garen as he will have to travel to Puerto Rico, hometown of Collazo. But hopefully he can bring back the title to the Philippines again.

[Kemarit]

^ To be honest I'm not familiar with both fighters. But if the champion was able to get back the title from another Filipino, it means that he is very tough boxer.
So if by chance this "Hellboy" wanted to wrestle back the title, then for sure he will need everything he got and maybe we can say that he needs to be very lucky winning in the homecourt of the champion here.
Nevertheless, we will give him a puncher's chance and see if he can promise and bring the belt back to his Philippines.

Well, yes, he still do have an existing contract with the UFC and that means he couldn't have a fight in other sports industry even without Dana's words as the contract itself is already there. Furthermore, I don't think as well that Gervonta Davis is likely to accept any offer from SugaSean as he might not be inclined for a circus fight this time and SugaSean will not ring any bell in the boxing world because he's still a new fighter and of course will have a hard time if a fight will happen.

It will be too clear what would be the motive of the fight and so, there will be no hype in it because people will not be expecting something good in their fight.

What can you say though about Robert Helenius being tested positive for a ban substance when he fought Joshua. If we can recall, it was supposedly Dillian Whyte as the original opponent of AJ but he was tested as well.

As just confirmed by Matchroom Boxing, Robert Helenius was found to have an adverse finding during a drug test leading into his knockout loss to Anthony Joshua. Matchroom’s statement indicates that Helenius was tested by VADA the day before his fight with Anthony Joshua on August 12, but that they were just made aware of the finding today.

But as usual Helenius says that he hasn't done any drugs and that he is innocent of what has been accused of him and he also said that he is not a cheater as he has been tested throughout his career.

But as usual Helenius says that he hasn't done any drugs and that he is innocent of what has been accused of him and he also said that he is not a cheater as he has been tested throughout his career.

If he was not under any kind of influence, how can he get tested positive though? And I think everyone is going to say that they are not under any kind of influence/taken drugs ever. But they are also getting tested positive.

So I don’t think it is actually a very good idea for anyone to actually trust what they are saying about, not doing any kind of drugs or taking any performance-enhancing substance. I am not trying to disrespect any fighter. I am just trying to say that this has happened before and this is also definitely the only way to prove if he is taking anything or not.
