Frank Warren - 27 March

Exactly the two shows aren’t exactly competing against eachother are they

 

Warren has done some good domestic cards the last few months. Need more than a pandemic to see Frank off.

Gorman against a fella that got knocked out in 2 rounds by Tom Schwarz is not a good fight back. Even a domestic tune up would have served a better purpose. Shame Frank split that cards in two really

 

Gorman against most blokes down the pub would last rounds. Will learn little in a fight like that. It’s fine if he’s got no power but then put him in with something that is a slight challenge.

He’s essentially doing the exact same set up that he was leading up to Dubois.


Surely a Ustinov or Browne fights offer the same level of risk but atleast is a named opponent. Failing that a slight risk Wach or Kuzmin is surely in the realm of Gorman at this point.

he needs to make some kind of statement this year and these fights are not going to do that.

 

Great cards, looking forward to both of these.

 

He's allowed a couple of tune ups to get up and going again after the Dubois defeat. Dillian Whyte fought Ivica Bacurin, Ian Lewison and the walking punching bag Dave Allen after losing to AJ so I don't see a problem with Gorman building himself up again. Think you're letting your matchroom bias cloud your judgement on that one haha.

 

Not at all tuneups are absolutely fine. Lewison and Allen actually fought back. The fella Gorman is fighting won’t. Fair play regarding Bacurin but for me Lartey was his Bacurin. I’m all for him have 2 or 3 fights to tune up. But the matchmaking is not doing him any favours only have to look at Yarde and Dubois.
Should be fighting easily winnable fights but not against someone who fell over against Schwarz. Have you actually seen that fight?

For example here he is at cruiserweoght a few years back. Look how many punches he actually throws

it does Gorman no favours from a learning standpoint or a marketing standpoint. Effectively giving him fights that most 2-0 and 3-0 guys are expected to have.

If Bogdan Dinu or Eric Molina isn’t seem as a type
Up at the point for Gorman then what’s his ceiling. He needs momentum and something that makes him look good at this stage in his career.
