Good power, but he's still incredibly raw and naive. Hasn't improved enough, for me. Needs to step it up a bit, but I'm not sure he can handle it.
He’s currently too easy to hit, he’ll not get away with that against better and more heavy handed opponents. He can certainly bang though and he finished him off well.
Not the best era for him to go chasing world belts. Did you see the fight before his? It was a joke, some kid who didn’t wanna be in the ring fighting a kid called Otha Jones III with brutal power, felt sorry for the little gimp but that’s Eddie Hearn for ya.
Am going to sound like an old man but wtf is up with all of those tattoos - kid is only 22 and from Greenwich not Mexico.
What do people think? Is it as close as the pros seem to think or do you fancy someone to run away with it and outclass the other?
Gorman vs DD is like a diluted-lite Fury vs Joshua. It could go either way, one has a lot more power than the other and one is technically better and much faster. If I was forced to bet I’d say Gorman will wear down DD and bore himself a win, but I doubt Gorman could take many shots if DD lands a few so I’m hoping for DD to finish the fat lad early doors just so I don’t have to sit through a bore fest.
I agree. Got caught with some big shots and could've paid the price against a better opponent. Gorman's struggled to impress in fairly routine victories against defensive journeymen, but he can box. His conditioning isn't great, he doesn't have massive power and he's not the quickest. His punch selection is decent and there's talent there, though. It's quite a tricky one, for me.
Watched that last night, the undercard was better than the main event. Dubois dealt with Gorman with ease. I thought Joyce looked wooden and average against the underrated Jennings, I had him winning in a tight fight but one of the judges cards was a complete joke.
Just watched it - am impressed by Dubois. Is not the finished article but there is a lot of promise - the best thing being that he learnt from his last fight and actually used his boxing skills rather then just slugging it out.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/49129705 Weird one. He tested positive before the fight, then they cleared him to go ahead and now it's being called into question again? Odd.
Happens a lot - need to confirm the sample before making an accusation but have no time before the fight and they are too cowardly to cancel at the last minute.
