Professor Dwyer makes some good points on Klitscho v.s Joshua here!

I stopped listening when he said that Fury was a great fighter.

 

Wlad knows what he is facing and Joshua doesn't. He thinks he does but until you have experienced it (like Wlad) you don't know and it just might be that lack of knowledge that gives Wlad a window of opportunity to knock Joshua out. Joshua should win but it is not a sure thing by a long shot.

 

He is indeed a huge question mark but despite that i'm going to favor him in this fight and i want him
to win because i don't want so see Wladimir as a champion again , i think the heavyweight division is better
off without him.

He is frozen more likely than not in my opinion , especially if he gets hit with a bomb , we all know that
he doesn't take punches very well.
And Joshua is very hungry as well and he will be pushing forward , it's just the type of fighter that he is
and i have never seen Wladimir Klitschko handling a bigger fighter who is pushing forward and throwing
punches like AJ.

I agree with you , i think that his jab is Wladimir's best chance to win the fight.
But AJ will be throwing punches as well and i don't know how Wladimir Klitschko will react to it , his only
chance is to keep AJ at the distance , if the fight goes from mid-range to short-range AJ clearly has the
advantages.

Haye doesn't had the workrate of Anthony Joshua and he was a lot smaller , i think Anthony Joshua is a harder
puncher as well. Also i think that Haye was a little bit scared to bring the fight to him and i don't think that
AJ will be.

 

Good argument between you two.

 

I find Dwyer highly charismatic and likable. His analyses are reasonable. And no matter how one sided fights are, the right thing to do is give the strengths and weaknesses of both fighters. Which he does.

But too often his predictions are lousy. He overestimates. Underestimates.

He can explain things, but he can't predict much of anything.

My personal opinion? Wlad is 41. He looked like **** against Jennings two years ago. Wlad rarely lost more than a round in the last ten years. Against ****ing Jennings? He lost more than two (averaging cards).

He's old. He looks like ****. I look at the Fury fight and I see a Goddamn corpse in there. Guy looks like he has cancer or something.

People can't continue after 40 unless they're just big, fat, black sluggers. Hell, I'd probably recommend Wlad put on 10 lbs of fat now that I think about it.

 

A cute pudgy blonde chic?

 

George Foreman won the title at age 45 and he had been inactive for years before starting his new career..............Vlad was totally superior in camp sparring Joshua, he knows Joshua, the question is how much has Joshua improved and how much has Vlad gone down hill...............I will not bet money on this fight, but I will not be surprised if Vlad were to win, not surprised if Joshua wins, there are just too many unknowns in this fight, Vlad looks great in camp, really moving well, ripped, but will that translate to the actual fight? Joshua knows that Vlad can punch hard, so he has a rematch clause in the contract for a reason...............Joshua is not sure of himself, at least not now, that could change after a few rounds if he does well. If Vlad fights at his best he will win this fight, if not he will lose......................

 

I can see Wladimir destroying AJ.
AJ is a very basic boxer with not much experience.

It reminds me a bit of Hopkins v Pavlik.
Everyone was saying Pavlik would smash the old man.

 

Dwyer is not a moron by any means, but he really needs a Gambling 101 instruction. His analysis, while occasionally bizarre, is generally well researched, articulate, and applicable to the circumstances surrounding the fights. However, as mentioned earlier, he has no understanding of how to properly hedge or when hedging is actually beneficial (to his credit I do remember hearing him state that he is no expert in this dept.). If one was to tally up his boxing record based on moneylines and picks he'd surely not be the tipster to follow. That said, I do generally like his videos and often come away with worthwhile points to consider when handicapping a fight.

 

Reasonable points.
If cancer Wlad beats beats AJ would you suggest AJ retires?
