    Stormin Norman,
    Shades of Foreman,
    Nantwich's finest,
    Nathan Gorman,
    Steps in the ring without a care,
    Has few worries, has no hair,
    Punches fly both fast and hard,
    His torso shielded by layers of lard,
    Watch his uppercut, very tricky,
    And that hook he learned from Ricky,
    As the punishment he is dishing,
    Has no thought for his conditioning,
    Looks like every nightclub doorman,
    Nantwich's finest,
    Nathan Gorman,

    I just saw highlights of Hrgovic's last fight. Did look okay to me. A high skill level and fast hands, was toying with his rival, which made him look a bit lazy.

    You have seen him once and couldn’t have been paying much attention if you think he doesn’t work to the body.

    :aaaaa::aaaaa::aaaaa:classic.
    He be stormin,
    stormin Nathan Gorman,
    he fights like a mule,
    but looks like a Morman,
    hyped against Hrgovic,
    the Croatian pride,
    some say hell step in,
    beat him up on the inside,
    but I don't think so,
    don't care what they say,
    Gorman is gonna have to wait,
    for that fight another day,
    cause he has unfinished business,
    with the ferocious and fearless,
    Nick the spiders Webb,
    the club fighting foreman,
    the 6'5 doorman,
    let's get it on,
    let it flow and ebb
    Nick the spiders Webb vs Stormin Nathan Gorman

    For what its worth, I would pick Gorman to smash that goofy looking no trick pony Douchbois' cranium in.

    Speaking of Daniel, any In Living Colour fans see the same resemblance that I do?:sisi1

    I've seen him twice, and saw exactly one good body shot. (Against Turner.)
    I don't count punches thrown badly, which is Gorman's problem. He occasionally throws a hook, or an uppercut, but they're terrible, because he never leaves the "power right hand" stance. He throws both of those punches of his front foot, fer chissakes.

    And his left-hand body attack suffers from the same problem. Except for once, he doesn't fully commit to twisting his core into the punch.

    So, yes, he's one dimensional, because his only true weapon (against a real fighter) is his right hand.

    Tons of potential, though. I like the guy a lot.

    Gorman's not bad actually. I don't see him winning a title, but he's kind of like a poor-man's Andy Ruiz.

    He has one HUGE thing going for him; he is almost certainly clean, and always was. When they juice him up (and they will) they might have a monster.

    OK, so now we have another source for this sparring rumour. I wasn't inclined to believe it at first but according to Tom Little, Hrgovic did bash Dubois up in sparring.

    ''If Daniel Dubois wants to tell the truth, Hrgovic did a lot of damage to him with a pair of 18oz gloves on. Like a LOT worse damage than I got done to me (by Hrgovic).
