Adil Anwar from what I have seen is a Good Boxer and the best light welterweight in the uk in my book behind Amir Khan ......... What do you Guys think about him?

Yes he lost his 2nd pro fight
but since then its been all good nobody troubled him in the prizefighter watching him against Dale Miles and the way he was fighting i say he beats McCloskey on points over 12 rounds..... and they need to step him up and get his name out there he is 25

He did say behind Amir Khan, I think he forgot Mccloskey, maybe because he is from Ireland.

Anwar has looked good when I've seen him. Very, very tricky fighter who is hard to pin down. Didn't see his fight against Miles but I think we can all say it was a good win (despite the cards being wider than people expected).
He's now done 12 rounds against Miles anyway so if he can keep active who knows where he'll go?
P.S Palooka did a good rbr for the fight the other day. He'll have a better, more up-to-date insight on the man.

Thank you

Adil is certainly skilled, has a decent defence and is fit. He seemed to lose concentration a little though Miles was pretty relentless. Anwar looks a very capable boxer though lacks the power to be really exciting (for me any way). BoxRec have him 5th in the UK, that's about right at the min and I can't see anyone higher looking forward to boxing him - he's good enough to be not wanted.

Anwar is a good boxer, he moved well with good shot selection against Miles do you think he's better than Ashley Theophane

I think he moves better than Ashley but does not have the same variety of punches, Theopane hits harder as well and has extra gears in a bout. Adil may well be better prepared to go the full duration; I don't think he expects to get an early finish.

Good boxer, I think he could do Theophane looking at Theophane's recent poor showings.
