    Gorman is a good boxer, but he’s going to be too small and more importantly, not powerful enough to get to World level.

    Dubois will bang him out in around 5 rounds.

    95% of gash on PPV is not either but Eh day, Warden and ITV still fleece the public.

    When Pudding Whyte fighting Puddings is deemed PPV, anything goes now until the public collectively refuse to pay.

    I totally agree although it looks like we’re in the minority with this opinion, mate. I’m very excited by Dubois’ explosive athleticism but for me, Gorman is by far the more skilled fighter. Although Gorman won’t spark an opponent out with one shot, he has enough hurt in his punches to stop an opponent walking him down.

    Press conference, today at 1pm. Here's hoping these two are indeed fighting each other.

    I know they're both Warren fighters, but DDD is the jewel in Frank's crown. Massive, ripped, powerful, perfect for a poster or promo video. He's already 'headlining' and soon the WBO will be weaving its special magic and he will be manoevered towards the big nights, whether via espn and fury or a tilt at AJ. All of which is a long winded way of saying that I think Nathan, pasty, chubby and balding as he is, may have to box out of his skin to get a points decision.

    The comparisons are pretty clear. A ripped knock out merchant who is fairly quiet out of the ring, and a fat bald traveller with criminally underrated skills. I'm not saying they're carbon copies of Joshua and Fury, but there's enough there to suggest that in the long term, Frank makes more money with Dubois than he does with Gorman.

    Dubois will blow Gorman out of the water. Too big, too strong and mixes it far too much for Gorman.

    It’s difficult to argue against that, mate. In terms of marketing potential, Dubois is his main man. Gorman doesn’t really have a mouth on him (like a Fury or Saunders) to make up for his lack of aesthetics. I genuinely believe Gorman beats him at this point. @TonyHayers point about Fury being conservative with his punch output can be irritating but I can also see his point. Unlike Fury though, I think Gorman does let his hands go & he unlike his fellow travellers, fights more on the front foot. So I can see the potential for winning this on points...depending on whether his chin will hold up though because Dubois will test it.

    Great fight though. I like both of them a lot.

    I think Gorman will comfortably outbox dubois on the night
