    He picked Abraham to KO Froch didn't he? And Margarito to beat Pac.

    I think Froch deserves all the credit he's getting and think he will out class Johnson.

    you should never take gambling advice off someone you don't know,
    or even the ones you do,
    (thankyou brother!,who convinced me real madrid would beat bacalona tonight!....****!)

    Dwyer is pretty good. Sometimes he makes picks based on betting "value" i.e. taking a punt on an underdog if the bookies are underrating their chances, even though they are admittedly small. I reckon over the long haul you'd make money following Dwyer's advice.

    Cheekyvid from ESB says "What a pile of bull****, Johnson aint getting near the inside, Froch will stop him late on, for the 2nd stoppage of johnsons career. ignore the green fight, allen green is a joker who is not world class, he's a contender, gatekeeper, nothing more."

    if he seriously picked rafa to beat JML then that says it all about his predicting skills. i've never watched a full vid of his and won't now either

    Yeah Johnson deserves credit and it's not an easy fight by any stretch of the imagination but let's not forget that he is 41 and will struggle to make 168 lbs. Allan Green is poor at world level and was still able to win about half the rounds against Glen Johnson before he folded. No evidence suggests he'll KO Froch.

    Froch on points by miles again. Looking forward to cleaning up at the bookies.

    People seem to put a lot of stock in what he says because he has a nerdy voice. There's a few guys on YouTube I prefer to him although they rarely make vids anymore.

    He does seem to have bias against certain fighters.

    He said recently Haye would lose to Adamek, Roy Jones, Hopkins, Holyfield.

    That's current versions of those fighters.

    He also seems to have become obsessed with inside fighting, as though anyone with good inside game is unstoppable.

    I've never watched one of this guys vids, but i'm guessing it's the "gamblers advisory" label which gives him more cred. in some people's eyes.

    I'd take an octopus's predictions over Dwyer's.

    Froch is better than Woods and Johnson is older and at a harder weight, if anybody is getting stopped its almost certainly Johnson.

    Dwyer breaks down the fight dynamics well, but often overrates or underrates certain aspects of a fighter that lead him to make a wrong prediction. Good opinion, but hardly professional.
