Topic: Boxing Promoter Eddie Hearn is a Liar and a Hypocrite


Eddie seems to only care about money at this point.. with (his fighter) Dillian Whyte failing another drug test within a 2 year period, it puts Eddie on the spot for all the things he's said and fingers he's pointed at other drug abusers (like 'Big Baby' Miller).

Topic: The Most Prolific Knockout Artist of Our Generation...


Deontay 'The Bronze Bomber' Wilder will take to the ring again this Saturday as he intends to 'bless' yet another opponent with his alien power. The long, rangy WBC champion proved himself as the most dangerous man in the art of pugilism, and he's the only man crazy enough to give a rematch to the fighter who gave him his toughest fight. Ortiz vs. Wilder is a blockbuster heavyweight bout and it's can't miss TV.. somebody is getting knocked out, and it may happen earlier than anticipated!

Topic: Rest In Peace Pernell 'Sweet Pea' Whitaker!


In my opinion the greatest southpaw to ever live, top 3 technicians of all time.. Floyd built his style completely around Pernell's. Nobody was as elusive as this gold medalist.. he's from the cloth of Holyfield, Breland.. and other legendary Olympians. Today hit me quite hard, Pernell was only 55... Rest in Power You Legend!

Topic: Can Anthony Joshua Beat Andy Ruiz in the Rematch?


Personally I believe Joshua will come in incredibly motivated. We have seen time and time again legendary heavyweights face adversity only to return stronger. This will be a case of Lennox vs Rahman or Tyson vs Holyfield.. it's really in Anthony's hands. He's the bigger, better man.. but Ruiz came to win that night. 

Can Anthony be better on the night? What's your take?

Hey @ackza the Bitsports project is a different project to sportstalksocial, more focussed around a forum perspective, later will have a blog as well but we are starting with a forum. Once we have a decent amount of users using our forum we will start launching the Bitsports token (BSP) and develop the community from there.

Topic: Are the boks the real deal?


After round 1 of the rugby champ, more questions remain than answered. Both the Boks & the All Blacks fielded 2nd string sides, resting key players for the big clash between the two heavyweights this weekend.
The Boks were convincing over the Wallabies but does this indicate the Boks are looking strong or the Wallabies weak? I suspect a bit of both. The SA teams struggled in super rugby but put that Bok jersey on & they grow an extra leg or so.
The AB's are always a slow starter & will take heart their defensive pattern stood up as it was strongly tested in the last 40 minutes. Lack of combinations could point to a lack of cohesiveness on attack.
This w/e expect to see both sides roll out their #1 sides as a pre-cursor to their opening game of the RWC coming later in the year. In 2003, England came to NZ & beat the AB's, using that performance as a blueprint to go on & win the RWC that year. This w/e the Boks will be looking to acheive the same. We'll get a better feel for how the Boks are tracking after this w/e.

@sportsdesk, one can never underestimate the power of the mind and positive thinking in sports, the stuff of movies such as Al Pacino's Any Given Sunday 'Inch by Inch' pep talk speech are examples of how resolve and the right words and mindset can change the direction of a game.

Juventus has a problem this season, as they have in their ranks Ronaldo since last season they have the problem that many top players don't want to be transferred and refuse the offers Juventus is having for many of them.

The journalist Momblano has released a list of players that are in the transferable players for the upcoming season:

Topic: What's your favorite opening?


My current favorite as white is probably King's Gambit (1. e4 e5 -- 2. f4). Kicks off the game fast and usually yields interesting games. If someone opens with the Queen's Gambit, I love to play the Chigorin Defense as black (1. d4 d5 -- 2. c4 Nc6). You get the light pieces out very quickly and avoid "crowded" games. The downside is that white often gets the pair of bishops, but I can live with that.

I'm quite traditional and like to move the King's pawn 1.e4, it helps me control the center of the board, next up I like to try get my bishops out.

Topic: Antonio Brown Rapist??


ESPN is reporting that Antonio Brown has declined to pay a $2 Million settlement with the woman accusing him of rape. Although she hasn’t released text messages that prove a type of inner action, we still don’t know if it wasn’t consensual or rape? Thoughts?

Such a thin line here... it could be a case of an athlete thinking he's deserving of any ass he can get.. or it's a woman out for some money and fame.. or maybe a bit of both.

The man they call 'DDD' was a bull being prodded by all the pre fight talk Gorman dished out. Dubois is a soft spoken individual because all his talking is done in the ring.. KO! Did you see this knockout, were you impressed by the 21 year old British Heavyweight Champion?

Topic: Will Khabib Pull Out?


I was watching the newest BT Sports interview with Khabib...

He looks terribly gaunt to me, not a good look this early in the fight week. All the odds play into Khabib and his team's favor, but he fighting a dangerous man in Dustin Poirier and I'd like to see a good fight with both men in tip top shape. Some say I am overthinking this, but history has a habit of repeating itself and if there's a bet to say Khabib would pull out.. I'd seriously consider those odds.

Topic: UFC FIGHTNIGHT - Jessica Andrade vs Zhang Weili


jesszhang.jpg

This card has a couple of interesting fights.

It seems many from what I have read and seen around the scene are counting Zhang out in this matchup. Although Jessica is the champ I still think she relies on pure strength and the move forward with a shit ton of pressure type gameplay, but that can be exploited as we saw with Rose until Rose didn't do what she was meant to in that slam. Her power is obviously the scariest in the division but she can be out pointed if distance is managed and her opponent doesn't fall in to the brawl mentality(it is a shame Zhang doesn't have a decent jab). She has definitely improved all aspects of her game including the ground but she has been subbed in the past. She has been over in China for a while though already and training at the PI, so acclamation should be an issue in any area.

Zhang is an interesting cat to me, she predominantly uses kicks to acquire distance but I am not sure that will work so well for her against the Female John Lineker. Weili has improved with her striking since she joined the federation but she has a tenancy to brawl at times and this will not favor well for her against the midget from hell. Her elbows in the clinch are lethal and her GnP is ruthless. The only way I can see her winning is with a sub or a close decision, but tbh I dont think this fight goes the distance. She looks in amazing shape and her prep for this fight has been outstanding but will it be enough to become China's FIRST Womens UFC champ?

Whats your predictions for this fight and any others?

I will go for the upset here and hope she gets a finish, I will admit I am a bit bias because I would like to see China get a champ just for some balance. So stats wise Zhang loses, but Lets see what happens.

BTW Kai wins his fight by dec:)..Kiwi bias but he should win lol :)

Topic: Israel Adesanya... The Future of Martial Arts


Last night took place UFC 243, and its outcome has led to one of the greatest revelations in middleweight history. Israel Adesanya completely dominated former champion Robert Whittaker dropping him once at the bell of the first round.. and finishing the job in the second. Many things can be said about the sub par performances of most Aussies last night, but the Kiwi's conquered.. and Izzy is the future.

Topic: How Will Former Rugby Champion James Haskell Fare in Bellator?


Quite an interesting article I read the other day within the Independent.co.uk publication.. 34 year old former Rugby Champion James Haskell will be making his heavyweight mixed martial arts debut later this year (if not early 2020). Bellator has been known to sign novice fighters who have shown to be promising athletes on other platforms. If the UFC can sign CM Punk.. Bellator signing a true athletic specimen who's used to destroying men in a line isn't a problem to me. Let's see how he fares at the top, him vs. Jack Swagger could pose quite the interesting matchup down the line.
