Who’s next for Gorman? Another tough fight against the likes of Joyce? Or is that too much of a risk for his career. Still think he’s got a lot of promise & although Dubois on another level, he ll hopefully learn from the defeat. But another big loss (Price - Tony Thompson II) could be damaging.
He needs to rebuild his career ready for another crack at the British Heavyweight Title when Daniel Dubois vacates and moves to higher level. A fight against Hughie Fury may be more suitable for his ability at this stage of his career.
Next fight or 2 he needs to just win Rebuild confidence Once thats done stick him in with a Tom Little or Lucas Brown He is young and had a big set back Saturday He can now just take his time and progress
Needs to rebuild. Fight someone like Browne, Little, Helenius or Parker next to regain confidence and book an easy win.
Put him in against Dickinson then someone like Bogdan Dinu then aim for the British against the Allen vs Price winner
That was a reality check for him and his fans. He aint gonna be good enough to compete on world level so needs to adjust his ambitions. Euro and UK level it is for Gorman. Dubois isnt world level (he may get there) but the bigger "less technical" fighter outboxed the supposed quicker boxer. Granted maybe that was because Gorman perhaps tasted the power early and didnt wanna open up much. But from round 1 Gorman was very worried of the threat from Dubois and like I said if he cant handle him at this stage then he can forget about world level IMO.
Probably worth going down the commonwealth title route right now for Gorman. Can see Joyce vacating that soon, unless they decide to do a unification with Dubois.
He needs a confidence builder now. Sat night will of taken a bit away from Nathan, he will be questioning himself now, has he got the ambition to try make it to the top again, now he's had a taster of what it takes to climb this ladder. He will now be reassessing what he feels he can do in the sport and whether it's worth his trouble to carry on. One good thing is he has good family connections who can help him over this fork in the road. His cousin Hughie and Peter are invaluable at times like this. I think he's got plenty to offer the sport, he's just had a bit of a wake up call . Larttey was mentioned earlier, he's a good shout.
