Gorman Dubois Prediction Poll

[HellraiserBoxing]

The big fight between Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman will soon be upon us.

Who are you predicting will come out on top?

very surprised at all the picks for gorman, dub will crush him

[oogiebe]

Is it this weekend
I think a lot of peeps will be choosing Gorman after seeing Ruiz beat AJ

LOL! You probably right. But...Dubois by KO.

Apparently they have sparred lots and Gorman always got the better of it.

Watched a little bit of 'em both in action against a common opponent recently to try to get a feel for who I think will win this. I came away thinking Gorman had better movement, more fluidity, and more all around skill.

Dubois is the bigger puncher, but it takes more than just power to keep winning at a high level. I think Gorman will outbox him.

I think it was.

based on those showings vs big raz i see big dan walking through big nate

[gilgamesh]

I mean I won't argue. I know very little about Gorman. It's just the feeling I got off the bit of footage I watched. More fluidity to his movement to me. It'll be an interesting test for both fighters whatever the case.

I'm not going to read much into the Cojanu fights or the sparring stories.

I just have a feeling that Gorman has the style to outbox Dubois comfortably.

Dubois has a punchers chance, but can be very plodding and prdictable. Gorman is no Tyson Fury, but has decent movement for a big man and won't be taking any kind of unnecessary risks.

I can see it being a bit of a snore fest tbh.

Here here.....was surprised to see this. I think Daniel will be too much all round

Yeah it wasn't so much how they handled Cojanu that I was paying attention to when watching those. I was just watching their styles, and trying to envision how it'd play out if they were fighting each other instead of Cojanu.

I can see it being tedious too as there's a lot at stake here for both fighters, so they won't wanna make any costly mistakes.

Whilst I agree with you re; Gorman being able to outbox DD, I don't see it being a snorefest.
How can it be, when DD is such a dangerous puncher (at this level) and could score a "blink and you will miss it" knockout?
And on the flip side, as Gil so succinctly put it, Gorman is such a fluid fighter, deceptively so?

I hope I am wrong but I can kind of envision a scenario where Dubois struggles to land anything clean for rounds on end and Gorman pops out just enough jabs and one twos to win the rounds.

I can see it being a frustrating night for Dubois as his best chance is to turn it into a war (if he succeeds we could be in for a treat) but Gorman will do all he can to avoid that and will be more than happy to win a solid but uninspiring decision.

Dubois wins a disputed decision

Dubois wins a disputed decision

That’s what I fear, happens all the bloody time these days, I don’t mind who wins, just want to see a fair decision

[jamamb]

wish the bookies had it the same way this poll did, id lay down huge on dub, cant see him losing

[Bard of Boxrec]

Me too, seems bizarre. Like the prefight attitudes towards haye/Macc and cleverly/kovalev. I’d be surprised if DD didn’t stop him inside 7.

I don’t see these silky skills for Gorman, looks like just another plodder. Dubois is dynamic and powerful and will dispatch Gorman.

[IrishGuy]

I don't think this fight ends in ko for some reason.

[Fightnight Scores]

Gone for Dubois by stoppage, as a hunch really. He coped with some bombs last time out, so I think he can take Gormans power, and likely probably gets outboxed by him. BUT he will likely be able to land on Nathan, and as far as I am aware I don't think we have seen Gorman really take shots?

Good, interesting match up though and is the fight I am most looking forward to over a stacked weekend of action.

[keithmoonhangover]

I'd bet my life on Gorman winning this by stoppage without ever looking in any danger.

i know right, just not seeing it, dubois will win easily by stoppage

[Bard of Boxrec]

Povetkin wlad though

Sorry Keith ! I actually thought POV had a good chance in that one too and he would have done a lot better without wlads octopus impression being allowed to run wild .

All this Gorman support reminds me a lot of that very strange Frankie Gavin hyping a few years ago, where sub par performances mysteriously became a predictor for future success for many people.

I'm never living that down mate.

IMO DDD looks like a knockout defeat waiting to happened. He looked terrible in his last fight and was hurt more than once. Gorman is accurate and throws good combinations (I said that about Povetkin). I cannot for the life of me see DDD winning it.

Nathan “No Foreman” Gorman is getting laid out !

I like these polarised ones. Someone will be very right and another very wrong ! Or maybe it’s a draw
