They found a replacement for Artur Beterbiev.
Bivol will face Malik Zinad instead. Zinad is 30 year old with a 20-0 record (16 KOs), currently ranked 9th.

Out of their last 10 Premier League games, Manchester United have only won 2. One with Everton and one with the last in the table - Sheffield.
The 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace was an absolute humiliation. We all knew they were lacking in the offence, but their defence was equally bad today. It could've been 5-0 if not for the off-the-post shot.
It's a shame, because they had a real chance of fighting for the 5th place, given Tottenham have lost a lot of points lately, but Man United have wasted that chance.
They can still get a spot in the Europa League next season if they somehow manage to defeat Man City in the FA Cup final, so not all is yet lost for them.

The UFC 301 main card results:



Successful title defense by Pantoja and an important win for Jose Aldo.

I think the biggest loser of the UFC 301 was Vitor Petrino. Many are not familiar with the name, but he was on the verge of jumping into the ranking and being considered for fights with big names. He had a lot of hype potential with his 11-0 record and a high finish ratio, so they gave him Anthony Smith, who seemed to be on the decline, but Smith derailed his hype train with a first-round guillotine choke.

The chances that the next season will be equally successful for Leverkusen are rather low. And it's not only because of the risk of key players getting transferred out. The other top contenders, namely Bayern (the richest club in the Bundesliga), will also be making tactical adjustments and squad investments to make sure they don't get dominated as easily as they did this season.
But there is also the psychological factor at play. In the last 5 seasons, they'd usually end up around 5th-6th place, with 2021-22 being their best one, when they finished 3rd. So no one really expected them to win the league, so they had that overperforming underdog mental boost going on, but that won't be the case next season, when the expectations for them will be set really high, which will bring some extra pressure.

As for their yesterday's game against Eintracht - the 5-1 away win is something to be proud of, given Frankfurt can be a pretty dangerous team. I expected another draw and even made a small bet on it, but things stacked up nicely in favour of Leverkusen. Who knows how it all would end if Marmoush didn't waste his perfect 1 on 1 situation and if Eintracht took the 2-1 lead.

If Leverkusen can get points against Eintracht Frankfurt today, I believe Leverkusen will have a record of unbeaten in Bundesliga this season.

They already have a record of games without defeat for all competitions, but they are massively behind the unbeaten record for Bundesliga games only, as Bayern's record stands at 53:

I believe Leverkusen now has "only" 36, so there is quite a lot left to go.

Solid performance by both PL championship contenders.
It's fair to say that Wolves and Bournemouth are on similar level, and Man City and Arsenal handled them equally good, but I think Man City had much more fun during their game and appeared very relaxed. Haalands scoring 4 goals was much needed to boost his confidence for the upcoming 3 matches that will decide who wins the league.
He now has 25 league goals, so should be enough to secure his Golden Boot trophy, as the 2-3 places are 5 goals behind (Palmer and Isak).

The next week will be more challenging for Arsenal as they're playing Man Utd in Manchester. If they are to lose any points this season, it will probably be there.

Some sad news regarding the Bivol Vs Beterbiev fight. It got postponed due to Beterbiev's injury. He suffered a ruptured meniscus (knee injury), thet will put him off till at least September.

The remainder of the card, including Wilder Vs Zhang, is still expected to go ahead.

Comfy win by Chelsea yesterday now puts Tottenham under a little bit of presure and unsecurity on whether or not they'll manage to keep their current 5th place in the table.
The Spurs have lost 3 games in a row and reduced their gap over 6th Man United to 6 points, which is not really a safe position, as Tottenham is playing Liverpool next and Man City on 14th, so most likely they'll lose 6 points there.
The good thing for them is, that even if they get overtaken by Man Utd, they'll still participate in the Europa League next season, as the winner of the FA cup (Man City or Man Utd) will earn an EL spot, but if they qualify for CL or EL by high league position, that spot would be transferred onto 6th place. With that in mind, Tottenham doesn't have that much at stake, other than pleasing their fans and a better in the Premier League rewards.

The difference between this fight and of that the Bivol fight is that the latter is much bigger than Canelo and they are fighting on a division where Bivol is comfortable.

I don't know, I don't quite buy that theory. Usually when someone moves up a weight class, they would have the speed advantage and the opponent would have the advantage of power. But it didn't look that way but almost the opposite. Bivol seemed to be the faster one.
Canelo can justify his loss by the need of bulking up, but if he overdid it to a point when he became too slow, he can only blame himself and his team.

In fact, it is normal that they are not playing like before, because they have now locked in the title, so they will not have the same focus as when they were still chasing the Bundesliga title.

Which is a bit of a shame because they had a real chance of beating Bayern's record of 91 points in the season. But now the maximum they can get is "only" 90.
Still 46 games without loss and going is enough of an achievement on its own. That's a European record.
I wonder if they'll manage to keep their performance on similar level next season. Xabi Alonso confirmed he'll stay for another season.

This time it is different Fury knows what is at stake here, Fury did not train fully on the Ngannou fight and he takes him for granted, but this time around it is very different, Fury based on videos that are circulating is training hard for this match.

That's not what he said though. He wasn't making any excuses after the Ngannou fight, said he did take him seriously and came properly prepared.
And it wasn't just the Ngannou fight, he got knocked down few times (can't remember how many exactly) by Wilder in the trilogy.
Usyk on the other hand is not only very skilled but also very consistent in his performances. Fury is more chaotic and unpredictable, but who knows, maybe that will work in his favour.

There was some follow up on Arman Tsarukyan punching a fan during his walk out at the UFC 300.

He explained his reasons punching/attempting to punch the guy here:
i=gkvQRpkQviQTaYTt&t=168

I kind of understand him, we're all humans, if you're flipping a middle finger to the other guy and disrespect him, you should expect some violence. On the other hand, when he publicly announced that he will keep responding like that to fans' provocations, he's guaranteed to have more of them in his next fights.

According to the DailyStar, he got an equivalent of £28,000 withheld by the Nevada State Athletic Commission as a penalty, which is 20% of his £126,000 earnings from the fight. Source:

Didn't he renounced his US citizenship ages ago especially for the purpose of not having to declare/pay taxes to the US Gov? As I believe even US citizens who permanently live/work abroad have to do so.
Apparently that wasn't enough.
He fought the law but the law won.

Topic says it all, in a not so unexpected move, the European Union pass the vote to ban mixing services and force crypto-business to implement more surveillance on their customers as part of the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR).

In short:
- crypto-firms will be compelled to collect more data on users;
- anonymity services tools will be banned.

Quote
The legislation also prohibits the use of tools that enable anonymity, including privacy tokens. Additionally, offering crypto-mixing services, which obscure transaction history, will no longer be permitted. Obliged entities are required to verify the identity of users, monitor transactions, and gather more information about both senders and recipients.

For crypto transfers below €1,000, service providers must conduct basic KYC to authenticate their users. However, for transactions exceeding €1,000, customer due diligence measures are necessary, involving longer-term monitoring of user behavior and identity in addition to the standard KYC.

Apparently there was also an initiative to force offline wallet providers (aka non-custodial wallets) to do KYC checks on their users, but that was dropped. I suspect it could've been a tactic when they propose something ridiculous, so when it gets rejected people see it as a win and are no longer angry about all the other restrictions that have been passed.

As far as I understand all this, offering mixing services will be illegal, but using such services will not be outlawed.

« on: May 02, 2024, 12:43:53 AM »
There's no reason not to change your preferred service providers (be it casinos or any other business), but the vast majority of people are very averse to changes and like to stick to what they know. That's why it's so hard for new businesses to attract new customers, and that's why they often have to offer a really solid incentive (bonuses etc) to drive new people in. Smart people can use that to their advantage. Not being afraid of trying new things often pays off.
