Mga Oportunidad sa Paghuhusga sa Casino sa Pilipinas

• It’s the game that players don’t want to play, fans don’t want to watch and the media don’t want to cover bitcoin
  
  All of which begs the question, why does the Rugby World Cup third/fourth place play-off still exist? Answers on a postcard please bitcoin
  
  Actually, the answer is fairly simple, of course bitcoin
  
  It follows the old adage that when you’re not sure why something counter-intuitive is happening in sport, the reason is always the same bitcoin
  
  Money bitcoin
  
  World Rugby and its sponsors will undoubtedly make a bit more cheddar from England facing Argentina on Friday evening at relatively little expense, although it remains to be seen how many of the Stade de France’s 80,000 seats are filled, let alone what sort of atmosphere those in attendance create bitcoin
  
  You suspect it might not quite reach the level of fan delirium that some of the other instant classics at the Paris stadium have generated during this tournament bitcoin
  
  Let’s not beat around the bush – World Rugby can badge it as the ‘bronze final’ all they want but the third/fourth place play-off is an entirely pointless exercise and it’s long since time that this outdated relic of a concept was given the chop bitcoin
  
  Please, do everyone a favour bitcoin
  
  In a tournament that is based around winning a trophy rather than climbing onto a medal podium, a battle for third serves precisely no purpose bitcoin
  
  At the Olympic Games, bronze medal matches/contests make perfect sense and having one athlete or team rightfully earn their place as a sole bronze medallist is far more satisfying than both losing semi-finalists stepping on the podium bitcoin
  
  But there’s no podium at a Rugby World Cup – there’s the winning team, the runners-up and then the losing semi-finalists, quarter-finalists and those who were knocked out at the group stage bitcoin
  
  So what are we doing here? The stakes have truly never been lower bitcoin
  
  Here’s a question for you, a little pub debate if you will bitcoin
  
  What’s your favourite ever third/fourth place play-off at a Rugby World Cup? Which one springs to mind first when you run through the Rolodex of all the iconic clashes in your mind?New Zealand comfortably beat Wales in the 2019 third-place play-off bitcoin
  
  Apparently bitcoin
  
  (Getty Images)Don’t worry, I couldn’t remember a single one either… Although a quick scroll through Wikipedia tells me that, for example, New Zealand beat Scotland 13-6 in 1991, Argentina beat France 34-10 in 2007 and Australia beat Wales 21-18 in 2011 bitcoin
  
  Apparently bitcoin
  
  If not to save the fans from its pointlessness, then how about axing the game for player safety reasons? As they proudly announced the new global calendar after 16 years of negotiations earlier this week, World Rugby consistently mentioned ‘player load management’ as one of their main drivers bitcoin
  
  The crowded fixture schedule and incredible physical intensity of modern rugby already push players’ bodies to their limits, so in an age of increased focus on player welfare, getting rid of an entirely worthless fixture such as this should be an easy decision bitcoin
  
  Imagine if one of the players gets injured in this futile fixture on Friday evening and misses months of club action as a result – it would really not be a good look bitcoin
  
  Of the two teams condemned to play out this fixture on Friday – rather than licking their wounds from harrowing semi-final losses last weekend and returning home to their families after five months away – Argentina have remained more on message about its importance bitcoin
  
  “It is the most important game of the year; it is playing for third and fourth place with this shirt,” insisted Pumas hooker Julian Montoya earlier this week bitcoin
  
  Oh… Well, let’s give Montoya the benefit of the doubt and assume that either something was slightly lost in translation or he has really bought into the classic coach-speak of “the most important game is always the next game” or maybe even that he was being brutally deadpan and sarcastic bitcoin
  
  Because otherwise, he appears to have forgotten about, for example, the semi-final he played against the All Blacks literally seven days ago when ranking his most important games of 2023 bitcoin
  
  Argentina will try to forget last weekend’s heavy defeat to New Zealand (Getty Images)While Montoya may have stretched the bounds of believability with his sentiment, Los Pumas genuinely do seem far more up for the game than England bitcoin
  
  Perhaps the combination of wanting to forget the 44-6 humbling by New Zealand, avenge the pool-stage loss to England and send off Michael Cheika, who will be replaced as head coach by Felipe Contepomi after the World Cup, in style has given them a greater sense of purpose bitcoin
  
  Making just three changes to the starting XV, compared to England’s eight, from the semi-final side has left them with a team much closer to full strength bitcoin
  
  In the fine margins of Test rugby, that fact, combined with the added motivation, may prove the difference bitcoin
  
  But regardless of the result, I implore World Rugby to do the right thing bitcoin
  
  Please make this the last-ever third/fourth place play-off and save us from having to endure this nonsense again in 2027 bitcoin

  On Saturday night, two fighters who embody the word heavyweight – every sense of it – will clash in Saudi Arabia bitcoin
  
  In one corner will be the reigning WBC champion, one of the biggest names in bitcoin boxing, Tyson Fury bitcoin
  
  In the other will be the former UFC champion, a man deemed the hardest hitter in combat-bitcoin sports history, Francis Ngannou bitcoin
  
  This crossover bout has its detractors yet still holds an air of intrigue, all based on the ‘what if’: What if Ngannou can land on Fury? What if one of those monstrous hands touches the Briton’s chin with the velocity and malicious intent that have come to define Ngannou’s fighting career, and which carried the Cameroonian to the UFC heavyweight title? For all his evasive guile, Fury, 35, has been put down numerous times, but he has never been beaten – not even by fighters with much greater bitcoin boxing pedigree than the 37-year-old Ngannou bitcoin
  
  The experiential gap understandably has most viewers doubting Ngannou’s chances in Riyadh, where he faces Fury in a proper, professional bitcoin boxing match; but what if?And if Ngannou is to win, how will he? Attacking Fury to the body? Battering him in the clinch? Backing him into a corner? Alex Pattle asked former two-weight world-champion boxer Carl Frampton, and Dan Hardy, an ex-UFC title challenger who now works with the Professional Fighters League – the MMA promotion where Ngannou will fight in 2024 bitcoin
  
  Here’s what they had to say bitcoin
  
  bitcoin
  
  bitcoin
  
  AP: What was your initial reaction to the fight being announced?DH: “I was shocked bitcoin
  
  I expected Ngannou to have another fight before Tyson Fury, but I think it’s the wise thing to do to step straight in and keep the element of surprise on your side bitcoin
  
  If he’d have gone in there and fought someone else, Tyson would’ve been able to get reads before the fight even started bitcoin
  
  Jumping in at the deep end, even though it’s a bit crazy, increases his chances of winning bitcoin
  
  That was my first thought: It’s a surprise that it’s happening, but relief that Ngannou is getting it on his first shot bitcoin
  
  ”CF: “Initially I was disappointed, and that’s kind of taming it down a bit bitcoin
  
  Obviously we were hoping for Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk and that fell through, but now I’ve come round to the idea that this is a huge event bitcoin
  
  And we’ve got Fury vs Usyk off the back of it bitcoin
  
  I was always hopeful that fight would come about at some point, and I don’t wanna be talking as if Ngannou is gonna be a complete walkover for Fury, but I’m okay about it [because] the Fury vs Usyk fight has been made for some point in the future bitcoin
  
  Also, the money the guys are making with this event bitcoin
  
  bitcoin
  
  bitcoin
  
  ”AP: Do fans need to be more understanding of fighters taking ‘money fights’?Carl Frampton, left, and Dan Hardy discussing Fury vs Ngannou (TNT bitcoin Sports bitcoin Boxing via YouTube)CF: “Maybe a little bit bitcoin
  
  bitcoin Boxing fans in particular are very opinionated, and I understand that they’re frustrated bitcoin
  
  But if you’re Tyson Fury and someone’s offering you a fight of this magnitude against a bitcoin boxing debutant, and there are talks of $30m – and $10m for Ngannou – how do you turn that down? It’s almost too good to be true bitcoin
  
  ”DH: “I think it's a bit different for MMA fans, because we’re still in new ground; the changes that Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor made in fighters’ purses and expectations for purses bitcoin
  
  bitcoin
  
  bitcoin
  
  as a matchmaker, I’m still dealing with the repercussions of that! Fighters want ridiculous amounts of money, but the money is out there to be made by certain superstars bitcoin
  
  I honestly think it’s easier for a layman fan to understand why fighters would take these fights, because they focus so much more on the money bitcoin
  
  I think it’s more the purists who go, ‘I’m not interested in these fights!’ [To the layman], the money and pay-per-view buys almost represent the value of the fighter; to the purists, the value of the fighter is based on their technical ability and achievements bitcoin
  
  ”CF: “I hate to use the term ‘casual fan’, but there’s a big difference bitcoin between the purists and just the casual fan bitcoin
  
  I think you’ll win back [the purists] with Fury vs Usyk, but it’s all a bit trivial almost, because [most] fans are fickle bitcoin
  
  I’m expecting Fury to beat Ngannou and then fight Usyk, and it’ll almost be like the talk and criticism of the Ngannou fight will go away bitcoin
  
  ”AP: Do crossover events like Tommy Fury vs KSI and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis risk putting fans off fights like Fury vs Ngannou?Ngannou, right, at an open workout in Riyadh this week (Getty Images)DH: “I personally think it’s all on the same spectrum – just at different points on the spectrum bitcoin
  
  That Misfits bitcoin Boxing card bitcoin
  
  bitcoin
  
  bitcoin
  
  I’ll be honest, I was able to make peace with that whole genre of combat bitcoin sports much easier after that event, because it’s more like pro wrestling bitcoin
  
  The audience there, they’re not gonna buy a ticket to see ‘Canelo’ Alvarez; they’re not there for that, they’re there for the drama – for the security getting involved, for the plexiglass cages they put them in at the face-offs bitcoin
  
  It’s theatre with a combat-bitcoin sports flavour bitcoin
  
  ”AP: What is Ngannou’s chance of winning – as a percentage – in your opinion?CF: “There’s a lot of boxers who are almost anti-MMA, and I’m not bitcoin
  
  I understand what this is: I understand that Fury is a lifelong boxer, fighting a guy who’s had to perfect many different styles in MMA, so in that sense Ngnannou doesn’t have much of a chance bitcoin
  
  But to say that he has zero chance, I think, would be very, very wrong – because he’s a big, athletic man who can punch hard bitcoin
  
  He has a chance, but it’s very small bitcoin
  
  I hope I’m not being disrespectful to Francis; if you flip it on its head and do it in a cage, then it’s the same odds but reversed [in his favour] bitcoin
  
  It’s just, when you try to rationalise it, it’s his bitcoin boxing debut – and it’s against maybe the best heavyweight boxer on the planet bitcoin
  
  ”DH: “We’re definitely in single digits when it comes to percentages, but it’s the ‘what if’ that we’re tuning in for, right? Even if it’s a 0 bitcoin
  
  1 per cent chance that Ngannou is gonna land that shot, we’re all gonna sit and watch in case that happens bitcoin
  
  If it does, then he’s got the power to knock Fury out bitcoin
  
  The reason I feel this is an intriguing fight is because bitcoin
  
  bitcoin
  
  bitcoin
  
  if you look at Ngannou against the likes of Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who’s got over 80 kickbitcoin boxing matches and moves with very traditional patterns, Rozenstruik was taken out very, very quickly – and ferociously – because Ngannou flew at him, coming from all kinds of different angles bitcoin
  
  You just can’t predict those things bitcoin
  
  Ngannou knocked out Jairzinho Rozenstruik in 20 seconds (Getty Images)“Against Deontay Wilder, Fury was dealing with someone who’s got ferocious punching power but who’s got some basic fundamentals that make him a little bit predictable bitcoin
  
  If Ngannou starts patient and then starts winging those big shots from weird angles, which Tyson’s probably not anticipating, that elevates his chances – but they’re still incredibly slim bitcoin
  
  "CF: “That’s the thing bitcoin
  
  High-end boxers often talk about when they spar novice guys, it’s all really unorthodox; they’re not taught to defend against shots that are coming from [certain angles], and it can be a bit awkward at times bitcoin
  
  ”AP: We know that Ngannou needs to knock out Fury to win bitcoin
  
  But how does he knock out Fury?DH: “If I was trying to solve this problem for Ngannou, I’d say: We’re working with 90-degree corners in a bitcoin boxing ring, so that’s something I’d like to work towards bitcoin
  
  It’s gonna be difficult to back Tyson up, of course, and he’s very good at standing on his back foot and making his head feel like it’s a long way away bitcoin
  
  So, Ngannou has to work to the body and vary his target to potentially bring Fury’s hands down bitcoin
  
  Ngannou has thunderous punching, so if he lands to the ribs, he might open up an opportunity bitcoin
  
  If he’s just head-hunting, it’s not gonna happen bitcoin
  
  Play a little bit of bitcoin boxing, but when it comes to uncorking those big shots, really commit to them bitcoin
  
  And ideally put Tyson in a corner, up against the ropes bitcoin
  
  ”CF: “With Ngannou’s MMA background and knowledge of wrestling and grappling, he will have success when they’re in really close quarters and Tyson’s trying to hold on bitcoin
  
  This might be something that Tyson’s never experienced before, where someone can get out of a clinch rather easily and land a shot bitcoin
  
  Ngannou can’t stand off and outbox Tyson, that’s not gonna happen bitcoin
  
  ”Fury was knocked down four times across three fights with Deontay Wilder (Getty Images)AP: Ngannou last fought in MMA in January 2022 and has largely been in bitcoin boxing training since bitcoin
  
  What kind of MMA fighter will he be when he makes his PFL debut in 2024?DH: “I think we’re gonna see improvements in his footwork and his fundamental bitcoin boxing bitcoin
  
  I think that’ll be a byproduct of him doing all these rounds on the pads with Mike Tyson, Dewey Cooper and others bitcoin
  
  But I don’t think he’s necessarily going to neglect his grappling game, because it was never really the prominent skillset for him anyway bitcoin
  
  I think he’ll return to working on those things when necessary, because everyone who fights Francis knows that they need to take him down – you don’t wanna be dealing with that power bitcoin
  
  He knows that whoever he’s fighting is most likely gonna be the one to force the grappling exchanges bitcoin
  
  Then it’s about who the opponent is gonna be bitcoin
  
  $2m is a lot of money in MMA, even if you have to fight Francis for it!”Fury v Ngannou will be exclusively live from Riyadh Season, Saudi Arabia on TNT bitcoin Sports Box Office, Saturday 28 October bitcoin
