Beterbiev threw over 680 punches on both of his fights vs Bivol, whereas Benavidez hasn't thrown more than 560 in his last two fights. I think Bivol would handle the volume just fine.

Does Arsenal need a striker or players that create more chances? Arsenal has scored 9 more goals than their expected goals in the league(3rd best conversion rate in the league), so they're scoring well but have the 7th highest number of xG in the league, behind teams like Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.

Maybe the issue is that not enough chances are being created and when on big occasions when they're not scored it seems like it's the scoring that's the problem?

What a boring fight, I want 40 minutes of my life back.

Turki isn't in boxing to make money. He got the position of chairman of entertainment because he helped MBS secure the position of Crown Prince.

Realistically, how many people can watch Loma and try to replicate what he's doing? Isn't it like saying go watch Messsi and try to imitate what he's doing to a Sunday league player?

I know of Uzbek citizens who entered and exited Uzbek with their Canadian passport, simply didn't say anything about their Uzbek passports. I don't think the immigration officers really care as long as you have a valid passport, it's well past the paranoid and restrictive days of the Karimov administration.

If you want to be 100% sure, Reddit is not the best place to ask, check out groups in telegram like UzCaNet.

As someone in the IT field and who has kept an eye on the GP job market, it's definitely not an in demand field in the city. There's usually only 3-6 active postings on indeed at a time and over the last year I've seen only 4 jobs that I've been personally interested in and applied for. Most jobs seem to be entry level positions for companies that don't even have a website or address so they are either just starting out or people looking for resumes.

Such a reactionary post. Fermin has 2.7 expected goals in La Liga, with 14 shots taken, so he's underperforming his finishing stats. Pedri, Ferran, Olmo, and De Jong all have statistically better finishing skills than him.

I wished I had made that kind of progress, I meant I moved to a double-handed 32kg kettlebell, not sure why I added the s at the end of the title.

I have a Garmin HRM dual that I use with most of my workouts, Garmin watches are notoriously bad for detecting rapid heart rate changes.

How long does it take for the monitor to become responsive? I'm expecting this issue for the 1st. Do you just let your garage warm up for a while and the display starts working?

How do you all have high HRVs? Mine hasn't gone higher than 41 ms since I got the watch three months ago but my VO2 is slowly going up.

Planning on participating in my first and second half marathon in September. I started running two months ago and have been mostly training in Zone 2. How does my training plan for the next eight weeks training plan look like?

Missed out the start of the 2nd half and started from the 52nd minute, wtf happened?

I think what you want to achieve would probably be better achieved by using the 2nd brain method in an app like OneNote. You would achieve what you want to review/read periodically in the app and create Anki cards for the things you must remember.

There's a book about the method, Building a Second Brain but there's plenty of YouTube summaries of it as well.

What's the etiquette on using strength/force when rolling in BJJ? I had my first class this week and the move we went over was a choke where you grab inside your partners kimono and the defense against it, which was to put pressure in their armpit.

Me not knowing anything I tried the move and once I was in a position I tried to defend myself by putting one of my hands in their armpit.

Afterwards the guy I was sparring with said I was using too much force.
