    Dubois is a chilled bloke, he doesn’t seem to care less about the personality jibes, good on him. I just hope he is the real deal and pulls it off. Had a few doubts but his focus seems dead on.

    Is that normal for DDD??

    He looks smaller now...probably a good thing

    I'll be betting on Dubois KO but wouldn't be shocked if Gorman wins a bit of a stinker on points.

    Great match up though and the loser can come again.

    Had a dream where Gorman knocked Dubois out in the opening seconds of round 1.

    Looking forward to this fight. I hope whoever loses gets credit for taking it so early and for not a huge amount of cash. Whoever wins gets a huge profile boost.

    There’s more chance of a united Korea.

    I think it’s more because of Dubois being genuinely a bit dim, not because he is chilled. He isn’t affected by Gorman because he’s not smart enough to be.

    Does my nut in that I can’t just buy a day pass on Now TV and watch this on my own telly. If it was a Sky card I could do just that.

    Feels like this fight has really crept up out of nowhere. Shame that it couldn't have been promoted better. Two young, unbeaten, quality heavyweights should be an easy sell but in any mainstream publication it's been totally under the radar. Even today if you're a general sports fan coverage of this fight is barely anywhere to be seen.

    Dubious all day imo

    After degale groves I hoped they would push with more competitive fights like this
    Frank copying Eddie's old lead

    Give the Fan's the fights they want
    Not the cans we are used to getting

    Thing is I remember the DeGale Groves fight seeming to be everywhere in the build up.

    This has been nothing like that unfortunately. It should be a fight to draw people into boxing but the only places it seems to be attracting interest are dedicated to boxing anyway.

    New age promoting > stuck in the past on the cheap promoting
