So we have an athlete with great physique in Dubois and fat guy against him (Gorman). Now, Gorman is nowhere near to Ruiz in terms of speed/offensive skills, but Dubois isn't AJ either. Your prediction: who will take it, and how?
Very even fight, I make Gorman a slight favourite with Dubois just being so inexperienced. In the lartey fight I just felt somebody slightly better would handle him because of the poor defence, lack of movement. Dubois carries power so will be dangerous til the end.
I would say Gorman is just as skilled then Ruiz ,he's very balanced fighter., just lacks top level fights. The difference here is Gorman is much taller then Ruiz and not as heavy footed but has less power and speed ,but imop DDD has a harder task AT the stage he is in but his physical size will prevail and Gorrman wont capitalize on some opportunities and will see DDD winning this . If were being honest AJ makes short work of Ruiz if he doesn't fight off the back foot and behind a jab . DDD will be a far bigger threat then Ruiz in the future,you'll see that when AJ knocks Ruiz out next time and then ppl will be back to saying Ruiz was just lucky not hes the number 1 guy now .lol The fight itself is very tricky ,I think Gorman would have won last year, but DDD will wait for an opening and explode on Gorman who I expect to out box DDD....the thing is Gorman can out box DDD, Ruiz will find it difficult in a rematch. DDD also is not a crisp inside fighter and Joshua is, that's why DDD will have a legit fight on his hands unless he does a AJ and catch Gorman early ,but I think he closes the show. I would take DDD by late stoppage maybe 10/11 rounds.
Interesting opinions on Gorman here lol, Mike tyson's old addage still holds true "Everyone has a plan till they get punched in the face" and Gorman's plan, whatever it was, got the night bus home after speaking to Dubois.
