    What do people think of this? Dwyer see's McCloskey as a live underdog, but then again, Dwyer's been horribly wrong in numerous predictions.

    Dwyer's no better than the usual fan on youtube. He deserves to be mentioned no more than the next man. I don't understand why people seem to drop his name on here. :huh

    When watching Dwyer's vids, I tend to think "What ****'s he been smoking?". But I forget that he's giving his advice on gambling, not his prediction on the outcome. That's why he always puts heavy emphasis on underdogs.

    But still, some of the **** he predicts 'could' happen, never ****ing do. None of the vids I've seen of his so far, would have made anyone any money.

    I have no idea either. Maybe it's because he wears a shirt and tie, and an ear-piece.

    He makes some awful observations. He says Vitali is scared of Solis :lol:, and Manny wouldn't be able to fight on the back foot against Margarito.

    he has a fair point, khans doesnt know what to do on the inside and he fights a good fight early on and seems to deflate as the fight heats up, the problem with khan in this fight is he doesnt have height advantage over mccloskey which will be interesting. i dont know if the jab and move tactics will cut it against mccloskey, mccloskey might adapt and start timing him
    i predict a close fight 115-112 in favour of khan mccloskey is no slouch

    I don't understand it either.

    Exactly. Then afterwards when he's wrong, he makes up some bs excuse saying "This COULD have happened, but it didn't".

    One thing I don't understand is, he compares McCloskey to Mayweather, yet he made a vid on Mayweather/Khan and see's Khan as having a great chance..

    Pattern anyone? He speaks utter bs.

    Khan didn't have the height advantage against Maidana either. Both are level. Khan is actually an inch taller than McCloskey. It all depends on whether McCloskey will use his height, but as Dwyer said, he'll have to fight short, so height won't be a factor at all.

    Check out Khan/Malignaggi. Both Mali and McCloskey have their hands down using upper body movement. Khan started tagging him numerous times with the jab and following up with the right hand. Same tactics would probably be implemented.

    If McCloskey lands that uppercut on Khan's fragile Mandible, it's all over baby!

    I know that, but because people mention him, I just put his name out there aswell, otherwise I don't know why people started it in the first place. He's really not that good.

    Wallet, you question me too much :twisted:

    I've not seen the Dwyer's vid, but when he says:

    - Khan can't fight on the inside.
    - He slows down during the end.

    That's all well and good, but Khan only suffers the above against a certain type of opponent. McCloskey's not that opponent. The only thing McCloskey has which will trouble Khan, are probably the uppercuts. But even then, how aggressive is he that he can work through Khan's jab and combinations, and stay on the inside?

    I am really really excited about this fight. It'll be a massive struggle but I think Dudey can do it.

    Can't wait for the fight, I'm more excited about this one then I am Magee-Bute or Casey-Rigondeaux..
