Thanks and yes, all the credit to Tapales' hard work. This may be one of the biggest upsets in boxing history. Inoue or Fulton, that is going to be a task that he should prepare after celebrating his win. That fight will probably put his name in a better place and records will be set if one Filipino could unify all the bets. If it will be Inoue, it will be a bonus as he could avenge the Filipinos that were defeated by him. Donaire.

Thank you.
The other judge though seems to have a different perspective about the fight. I understand how we have different views but 118 against 110 for Akhmadaliev seems to be going too far. It almost looked like he was paid to be a judge. (assuming) It's a close fight, and it should be seen in their scores. The score he gave is too questionable.

That is great news for the Filipino community that Marlon Tapales has brought to the Country, and I think he surely has a great record right now if you look at his records he got 37 wins now at the age of 31 but I think it is not enough he needs to have some fights that could surely up his rankings but I think slowly but surely is the key here, but time is at the essence and he really know that,

All information was from TAPOLOGY

Right, I believe we were just too focused on seeing Casimero's movement rather than watching and seeing Marlon Tapales on his championship fight against the former 2-belt champion Murodjon Akhmadaliev. If I'm not wrong, we even don't a thread for that fight because Tapales isn't that famous compared to Casimero and as a Filipino, I'm guilty enough to admit that I didn't even know that Tapales got a championship fight last night.

Anyway, I looked a replay on that fight and was surprised that even if the fight was close, Tapales prevailed and managed to give a hard time on his foe. Even Eddie Hearn was surprised that the judges favored Tapales instead of his boxer, Murodjon.

Isn't it great, we got another Filipino champion again and I thought that Donaire or Casimero is the closest one to give that to us. Congratulations again, Marlon Tapales!

That is really something unexpected because honestly, PH boxing fans know and understand the gap between Tapales and the champion, Murodjon Akhmadaliev, but most ignored those technical aspects and backed Tapales for support. And guess what, Tapales might be the first one to have a shot on facing Inoue instead of Casimero, for let's say that Japanese monster won against Stephen Fulton in July.

This is really good news for PH boxing fans and all of a sudden, Tapales becomes a big deal.

Actually it feels like a treat, I am surprised that Tapales is able to get the split decision since the fight is too close.  The former champion also performs well and actually I thought he was winning the fight.  So I was surprised when the two judges gives the fight to Tapales.


Who would have thought that Tapales would be the one waiting for the other title match to finish and possibly face for a title unification fight.


True! Tapales is actually out of the radar because Casimero is way more popular than Tapales but I think it is the other way around now.


I do not think Tapales can endure Inoue's punches.  We have seen on the final round that Tapales almost kissed the canvas.  So it is not impossible to think Inoue knocking Tapales out.

So seems Filipino boxing fans got a very good news with Tapales' win.
And they don't expect that it will be Tapales who will face first Inoue (if Inoue will beat Fulton on their fight).
Because most are looking for Casimero to face Inoue, but it seems Tapales is on his track to face Inoue.
If Tapales will do his job of preparing and not trash talk like what Casimero usually does, then, for me, he has better chance inside the ring.
But we all know, when it comes to odds, Inoue will still be the favorite. For now, let's wait for the Fulton vs Inoue's results.

This fight might be one of the best candidates for upset of the year award.  Although not many fans are convinced of the split decision since some of them are boo-ing the announcement of the fight, it is a win indeed for the Filipino boxers.  I wonder how does the one judge go with his score of 118-110 for the former champion.  It was indeed a close fight, 115 - 113 from the other two judges, while the badhook site have it scored as 116-113 for Akhmadaliev[1]


Yeah, I think this will be the biggest hurdle of his career but possibly the greatest opportunity to make his name stamped and be included as one of the legends of boxing history.

Congrats as well @danherbias07, good hit on that Tapales win.

This is just one hurdle that Marlon did, he was a huge underdog, nevertheless he proved how smart he is, just outpointing Murodjon Akhmadaliev is very tough as this fight in the US. Good thing that 2 of the judges was fair, they even have the same score, so most likely it was very close but at the end Marlon did a good job.

But the biggest challenged for him will be the winner of Fulton vs Inoue. It's difficult fight, either who wins, IMHO.

Wow, congrats on your big win mate. I missed all the boxing fights today as i'm out of town, i could also bet the same as yours.

Nevertheless, congrats to Tapales for unifying the WBA and IBF super bantamweight title. That was a close one but still a win so Filipinos are proud of him but the road to unifying all the belts is an uphill climb as either Inoue or Fulton is waiting in the wings which will make him the huge underdog if ever that happens in the future.

We really really discount that upsets can happen, Tapales has been having a good run though in the last couple of his fights and it seems he is a late bloomer in boxing. His resume is not that good, but then again, with a big heart just like the rest of the Filipino boxers, this could he a shocker, but for his backers, it's not a surprised.


No date yet for Donaire vs Santiago for the WBC version. But boxing is already taking off, with big fights in the calendar year.

And the most anticipated is Garcia vs Davis this 3rd week of the month.

Congratulations mate, it's really surprising how Tapales can beat Murodjon Akhmadaliev because he had defend his belt for 3 times. Tapales have many experience since he had 40 fights, but his fight was mostly against weak to mediocre boxer, that's make me think Tapales has a slim chance to beat Akhmadaliev.

Donaire fight is still unknown when it will happen, but there are many upcoming big matches e.g. Haney vs Loma, Inoue vs Fulton, Taylor vs Lopez etc.

Yes! Finally! 2 belts in line, 2 belts taken away by Marlon Tapales and he is going home with proud countrymen all rooting for him to win this one.
This is a good sign for Filipino boxers and should also boost Nonito Donaire because he will be the next one to bring home another title.

All my bets won today. Thank you Tapales. It's really worth the risk. Flexing it here.

I actually missed the fight because I was busy watching the UFC, now I am just watching the replay and analyzing how he got thru the heavy favorite Akhmadaliev.

Sweet odds Kabayan! upset takes place and your lucky to put your money in our Kabayan's shoulder @4.60 that's something that will really bring enjoyment aside from the entertainment while watching the fight, additional perks and something that you will enjoy especially if you put a decent amount of spares.

Not sure what will be his next journey but for now, let's Tapales enjoy the hypes in bringing pride back to our country!

Congrats and enjoy !

This is big news for Filipino boxing supporters in this community. I can't recall what is the odd for Tapales to win in this fight as Murodjon Akhmadaliev is touted to be the biggest puncher between the two and that he is likely to face the winner of Inoue vs Fulton. But everything has change now since Marlon Tapales upset him.

Seen few glimpse of the fight in Youtube but it's crazy and the shot was not that clear and obviously it's from a phone, maybe by a fan.

Now it's Rodriguez vs Gonzelez next as co-main event.

Good news for Filipino boxing fans, because we have a new champion in Marlon Tapales who beat and shocks Murodjon Akhmadaliev to wrestle his two belts with a majority decision with, 115-113 for Tapales and then one judge score it a lopsided 118-110 for Akhmadaliev (maybe he is on the payroll, hehehe). Both started slow but it was more of Tapales outworking him the middle to the later rounds and Akhmadaliev have signs of ring rust. And Marlon showing his shoulder roll

And now we have a new champion at 122 lbs, and Tapales or at least the winner of the Fulton and Inoue will be all go out for a super bantamweight unification fight later or early next year.

Thanks but all of it is just luck, I just take most of what I think could win but surely I haven't bet on most of the unprofitable once but have make a bet on what I think could profit but over my pick have made it instead of 1 and luckily enough I haven't bet on that 1 lost, but on the profitable side I have bet on most fight that I would likely think is profitable,


Well, Anthony Joshua is a sure win because of his strength but even though he doesn't have many technicalities in his arsenal his strength will surely complement all of the technical aspects he lacks, for sure the most profitable fight for him is surely Tyson Fury only he is number 1 right now, but will this win truly anchor him beside the greats well Deontay Wilder as well as a great profitable fight for Joshua but I really doubt him winning that,

Lots of fights today! And just like you guys I don't really know where to put my bet right now and can not decide so I might as well just call this a day and let this fight slip, but still Goodluck to all that bet,

Correct. It's hard to decide. I cannot even make up a good parlay as I fear one fight prediction might become a mistake. Perhaps I will stick with just singles for now.

About the Tapales fight. Sure Murodjon Akhmadaliev is the favorite here but as a Filipino, I will put my full support to Tapales and take the underdog bet.
4.60 is the odds now and I love it. Not a recommended bet for this is a biased choice but for those who want to take the risk then this might be a good pick. I mean, who knows if Tapales could win this one especially if he is looking forward to bringing another title for his fellow countrymen.

For the Stevenson versus Yoshino fight, I guess we all know who will win. 1.05 for Stevenson is really not a profitable bet but ending with KO seems to be a good pick. I will take that @3.55 and hope he can knockout Yoshino.

Well, I imagine that Benavidez is a boxer who is looking to win anyway, and he needs to have that match with Canelo, but as I have said before, it seems very strange of Canelo that Benavidez has to do so many things so that he can fight for him. However, I have seen some other boxers fighting to be taken down by their opponents, as is the case of Crawford with Spence, they have not Been able to fight for anything in the world, and that does not seem fair on Spence's part, Crawforded in 2022 He was preparing a lot for that fight, but Spence didn't want to fight it, Which is hard for me to understand.

You are absolutely right, although Canelo's chances to beat Bivol are there, it is a fact that Bivol is very focused on his Objectives, but they should fight and have that revenge because if Bivol wins, then his supremacy is already done, there is no more nothing to say, Everything is there, but in the event that he does not win,he will have Canelo there, for me Personally I think that Bivol will beat Canelo,and it is as you say, in terms of income, that is more that demonstrated, it will be a success.

Now I go back and reiterate, in a fight between these titans anything could happen, but let's remember that Canelo also has a somewhat weak hand, I don't know if they operated on it, but that is something that can block the boxer's fight and not be aware of it. 100% in all its splendor, and Bivol knows this.

Not guess because it is indeed a cherry picked fight. Bob Arum made sure that his cow will make a good impression once he enters the lightweight division because before the Loma vs Haney discussion happened, I heard that it was rumored that Shakur Stevenson has been chosen by Devin Haney's camp as their next fight because they aren't yet due for any mandatory fight. So we can probably say that Shakur has already been groomed to have big fights as soon as he finishes Yoshino.

Yes, I guess we can really call this a tune-up fight because it's a cherry-picked fight in the first place to highlight Shakur Stevenson's climb and first fight at 135 pounds. Win by a way of KO is more profitable compared to the win by decision because Shakur is not known as a KO boxer but in this case, via KO is more possible considering the fact you said above.
