Of course an orthodox fighter is gonna jab less against a southpaw and rely more on his right hand which is more effective because of the stance, that's boxing 101. This Dwyer guy sounds very ignorant.

Can't say I've come across anyone better on YouTube. Strictly from a gamblers standpoint. His breakdowns are also very well constructed. Not always right, but who is ?

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostI don't know what was on Dwyer's mind, but he isn't necessarily ignorant to that understanding. I watched the video only once, but what I remember is that Dwyer merely stated that Nonito doesn't land as many jabs against southpaws, not why. He used that observation as support for his statement that Donaire would have to rely on power shots versus Rigo, thereby leaving himself open versus a deadly counter-puncher.

I don't know what to make of this. Dwyer has made some high profile blunders. Like someone mentioned he always picks the underdog, so he's bound to get one right eventually. His hedges are barely playable.
His best picks have been Judah over Paris and recently Thompson over Price.
But those are 1/20 that he gets right.
I'll name some really bad predictions of his...
Luis Del Valle over Vic Darchinyan, straddled with Darchinyan by KO. The result? A complete wipe out, Darchinyan won every round.
Orlando Salido to Beat Mikey Garcia. This one was especially bad. Cause he was adamant that Salido would give Garcia a boxing lesson and the complete opposite happened.
The Haye Klitschko fight, where he really liked Haye in the fight. Well we know what happened there...
We can go on and on..
He usually backs up his opinion, which I respect. But Like he always says the opinion should be your own.

Not to mention that Donaire is a guy who thrives on throwing power shots, that's what his whole game is about, and Rigo been touched up and stunned with power shots. It's a horrible analysis period.

I remember he picked Margarito over Pacquiao.
He's alright. Wrong quite often, but he at least explains his reasoning and usually makes some amount of sense.
Honestly, I agree with this one. I think either Rigo outboxes Donaire or gets KO'd.
