    He has good punch variety and quick hands ,I don't think he is the biggest of punchers ,but he throws decent combos,Turner was a fair test slow but durable with some power of his own.Acceptable opponent for Gorman at this stage.

    he's good to watch . Nice uppercut and hooks. Seems to be technically good.

    Think he will be top 20 type fighter eventually

    Only 21 and already seems very impressive. His shot selection was excellent last night. He will only get better and better.

    I can just imagine going into the showers at school after football practice as an 11 year old, self conscious etc. In walks a 11 year old Gorman at 6ft and hairy as a gorilla.

    "I'll shower at home today teach!"

    A gypsy kid knocked at my house once asking for scrap with his dad waiting for him in the van. Told him I had a fridge but they wanted nothing to do with it and went on there way. They came back later on saying they would take and the kid on his moved the fridge from the backgarden to the van on his own using a type of 'dolly'.

    He must have been at most 10. Cut from different stuff them.

    I wonder if Warren's twitter this morning is hinting at Gorman vs DuBois?

    Good fight if this gets made. So far the poll slightly favouring DuBois.

    I like to think of him as the "Wayne Rooney" of British Boxing, he has that old man look.

    Personally I'm not sure on him, we will see how he gets on when he starts to step up levels but so far so good and there is absolutely no need to rush him.

    I see the Poll FW put out, I would love to see that fight but I don't believe FW would make it now.

    I’m massively impressed with him. He’s got fast hands, throws lovely combinations and variety. Does some nice feints and throws a good uppercut when they fall in. He’s got decent feet too. He could go very far in the game. I don’t think having an aesthetically great body is all that in boxing. If anything, it can limit the fluidity of the body and drain the gas tank.
