    Dubois-Gorman what does your gut say

    I like Gorman because of his heritage and I like Ricky Hatton, but Dubois has been looking prepared for war in the eyes. Like Anne Wolfe has been training him on the slick or some �� . Has Dubois always been icy like Liston, or is it something new? Good way to be, give him that. We ain’t shootin marbles, like Rockin’ say. He reminds me of Mike Tyson in his demeanor in a small way when he was under Cus. You cannot fake that look - that look of the him denying himself of many luxuries. Gorman is so damn young, he’s got such a long time to improve and get better. It’s gonna be some **** if he gets in there and makes it a war�� not sure of how else to do it vs Dubois who works behind a solid jab and cross. Dubois doesn’t move his head much but he does use angles, that’s why many are picking him. Gorman will only be able to truly rally When he not only has respect but when Dubois doesn’t have room to pick another angle, which means he’ll only be able to ko dd in a corner . He said it himself in an interview recently. “This is my hardest fight” but before he said that, he said he sparred 300 or so rounds with DD and never thinks he lost one of them. DD wouldn’t be so confident if Gorman schooled him all the time - he’s confident . Credit to the matchmaker, this is a good match to keep the public interested in Boxing

    I’m quietly confident Gorman outboxes him to a UD or late stoppage.

    It’s mainly based off here say and gut instinct though, people who I trust have told me Gorman used to regularly get the better of Dubois in sparring. There’s obviously bias involved and these spars where years ago when they were far younger and inexperienced.

    From a technical perspective, Gorman is far more skilled IMO, Dubois is very athletically gifted though so it’ll be interesting to see how much he can impose himself early on, it’s a great clash of styles and a really interesting fight, I’m really looking forward to it.

        Nathan Gorman the much, much, much better boxer. Daniel Dubois looks great when unloading big shots on stationary opponents who turn up to collect a paycheck. On paper this is actually a mismatch, the only question being, does Gorman have the power to get Dubois out of there early? Really is like the Poundland version of Fury-Wilder.

          So it’s confirmed about the amateur stuff. Thanks for the intel, probably not betting on this one. It’s scary how young that dude is, heh. He’s gonna be a beast when he’s 30!
          FWIW, DD backed off first on staredown. Saw something he didn’t like and backed off, looked away

            I think Gorman does almost everything better, apart from power, but that’s only going on the eye test against weak opposition for the most part, so it might not mean much.

            Gorman and Hatton seem to have been wanting the fight for a while, like they know something.

            I’ll go with Gorman but I wouldn’t be confident enough to put money on that.

              No problem bro. It has minor similarities to the DeGale-Groves build up IMO. In the sense that Gorman and his team just seem so confident they have Dubois’ number.

              Both guys are babies for the HW division, a loss at this stage won’t hurt either of them as long as they learn and progress from it. It’s refreshing to see two young prospects risking their undefeated records at this stage of their career.

                I don’t think either of them will lose so drastically, I agree with that one. We won’t see a complete shut out, which means an exchange of talent.(and good learning for both parties) Pumped for the match, I don’t think it will be an early ko. I bet we see some late round action

                  Gorman would've won this fight last year ,now ?


                  Gorman was in a rush to get this fight ,he knows DDD with more fights will prove more dangerous.


                  Sometimes the better fighter don't win the more effective one does and I see Gorman getting tagged late and getting stopped in what looks like a runaway fight for him but can he avoid DDD onslaught where he will have to when it comes for 12 ?


                  Im sure this is another match where different outcomes would happen, my gut tells me a DDD will win this fight even against a superior team Gorman has..i like Gorman better but if im picking a winner its Dubois,

                    Yeah I expect it to be quite cagey early on. I feel Dubois has to be effective early though, the longer the fight goes the more it favours Gorman IMO. I’m pumped myself mate, it’s the most interesting fight in Britain this year IMO.
