Dillian Whyte vs Jermaine Franklin and Fabio Wardley vs Nathan Gorman on November 26 (DAZN)

As much as I love calling upsets, I can't see the pisspoor blobby pathetic walking embarrassment that is Jermaine Franklin making it past the 4th round, much less pulling an upset. Yeah Whyte is brutally overrated and is a sucker for uppercuts, but Franklin has next to no power, is slow as molasses, his punches are labored in the first round and his defense is quite porous. He might not make it out of the first round. When you're struggling to win against the likes of Rydell Booker and Jerry Forrest, before he got his confidence back, and can't even KO a walking glass jaw like Pavel Sour, that's not a good sign. Dillian wins this by KO, coming forward, going backward, at mid range, anyway he wants it.

Now Wardley vs. Gorman, that one is a little more complicated, sure Wardley is fast and heavy handed, but he was being battered by Molina, which is a worrying sign. All indications are pointing towards him being a carrier of glassjawitis. While Gorman lost to Dubois, his personal life was a distraction at the time, as has already been mentioned in this thread. Also Dubois, for all his flaws, he's heavy handed as ****, so there's no shame in losing by KO to him. Unfortunately for Wardley, Gorman is pretty defensibly sound, is an excellent combination puncher and has almost a reactive snappy left hook, that flies out and lands on openings like it has a mind of its own. So I'm leaning towards Orman KO here, I think he'll prove to be a bit of a riddle early, but end up stunning and dropping Wardley before he can decode him, and it'll be all downhill from there.

 

Whyte threatening to hit Franklin's senior citizen trainer and pushing his little weeble wobble promoter just makes him look like a big bully similar to when AJ tried to instigate a fight with Usyk's senior citizen much smaller trainer after Baptism II. You'd never catch Big Joe Joyce conducting himself in that manner or even Tyson Fury.

Even though Great Britain is a tiny majestic isle with a minuscule population, it's obviously the epicenter of HW boxing and up until recently one we dominated and owned and threatening senior citizens half your size is just not befitting behaviour from our HW Kings.
