    I think Dwyer is WAY better than 78IQsports or Dontaes Boxing Abomination. He's not always on point... but with this one he is. He makes some very good points regarding Klitschko v.s Joshua. Starts his points around 4:20 of the video. Too many people are buying into this "JOSHUA THE DESTRUCTOR!" hype. I'm not ;)

    If Joshua was caucasian and from Siberia then you would be calling Dwyer a sack of N-words. That has never bothered you when referring to those guys as DESTRUCTORS!!!

    Very interesting analysis. Reject his take on Haye and I think he's underestimating the chance Wlad is shot, but most of the rest rang true. I really agree with his take on Joshua's potential vulnerability to a near prime Wlad. The jab could really mess AJ up. Also, as he said, the inactivity that is being held against Wlad isn't entirely appropriate. He was in camp for much of that time and top shape for all of it. Wlad could pull this out.

    Wlad is gonna get it. I actually think it will be brutal, like early KO out cold level brutal. Wlad is gonna see a guy who's young, hungry, is just as tall as he is and can shatter his chin anytime and his mind will blank, he'll be scared to pull the trigger and Joshua will just destroy him.

    I can't wait.

    LoooooL!!! Uh... what?!

    What guys are you referring to from Siberia that I have called destructors?? Lol!

    Are you trying to say the Klitschko's? GGG? Kovalev? Well they kind of are :) Look at their records and look at the top opposition they've defeated. Case closed.

    This is the part where you do another bump with your Gin and Juice eh??

    Yes top opposition. Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko didn't fight WAY better opposition than Joshua has??

    Well its not wrong to buy into AJ, he has knocked out everyone he has faced and he is already facing one of the best in less than 20 fights. That's impressive, I love dudes that try to fast track their careers, its awesome, makes for great fights.

    I for one enjoy that big lug in the ring. Even if Wlad blasts him out I'm still glad he is around, he makes the heavys that much more exciting, nothing wrong with some excitement.

    I'm still going to pick AJ. Why?

    Mainly because I'm still not sold on Wlad ability to take heavy shots after all these years. Wlad became and stayed a champ smothering smaller fighters from landing most heavy shots on him. AJ throws heavy shots and has the size to match Wlad and prevent a lot of the smothering when not many else do. Imo.

    For what he's accomplished, yes. The UK seems to hype their fighters incredibly. Which is good because it gets casual audiences involved and is good for the health of the sport. The US promotes its fighters poorly by comparison. But on the flip side, a young contender like Joshua can get a shot at the biggest active Heavyweight for the titles and sell out a stadium without having fought a legitimate top heavyweight.

    Hope Dwyer is right but I still cannot get his "Sosa beats Loma 4 out of 10 times". The guy is all over the place and even his stupid wagering hedges make no sense and only cut into your winning potential.

    I do agree that he is much better than all those LDBC simpletons.

    It's going to make watching that ****ing crowd of 90,000 go silent after Wlad clips him all the more enjoyable :D

    Whyte staggered and hurt Joshua, if Vlad lands a punch on Joshua, he will go down................Styles make fights and Vlad has the style to beat Joshua...............Vlad was totally superior in sparring Joshua not too long ago, if he is 75% of what he was then, Joshua will be in some bad trouble. Vlad is ripped, really good shape, so I will not be surprised if he knocks Joshua out. Joshua made sure he had a rematch clause in the contract, so Joshua knows he is taking a chance.................he remembers that sparring................not sure what to expect, I do know that the Klitschko that fought Fury will not be in the ring that night...................

    Dwyer usually makes good points, he just tends to overemphasize certain things in his analysis, and also looks for value bets which aren't the same thing as predicting the outcome. I agree with him here that Joshua can't replicate Fury's gameplan.
