Tough fight to call, both have flaws and both don't look the finished article.

I think Gorman by UD provided he’s still in good shape after six rounds. I think the first half is Dubois’ fight and the next six where Gorman wins it...

Dubois can be hurt. Even Richard Lartey could cause him more trouble if he wasn’t that old.

I fancy Gorman win this one. It may be close if it goes to points. Maybe a SD.

Will Gorman get a fair suck of the savaloy on the cards if it goes the distance?
I know Doobie is kinda the A side.

I fear that as well. It may end up like Zach Parker against Williams. Which was a great robbery i believe. And yeah Dubois seems to be A side as you said.

Anyone who has watched boxing in recent years knows that the answer is No.

Dubois punches just seem so much heavier.

Even if Gorman takes them on his gloves, I feel they'll have a wearing down effect.
And Dubois, despite being 10lbs lighter, looks to be the bigger, stronger man. I'm looking forward to it though!

Thanks for posting the vid Homie :TU:
Wow, I did not know this is the combined youngest pair to ever fight for the Londsdale :o
That's pretty special right there.

As for the content, I agree with Jammy. DD is a dud, personality wise. I've only ever watched his fights, never heard him interviewed before.
Gormie on the other hand, exudes confidence.

Wow you can dog on Dubois personality but I like it. No BS. Confident in himself. Doesn’t like talking. Stone cold killer. Doesn’t give an eff just wants to punch fook outta ya. Fair play!

You're welcome.

Dubois reminds me of that humble, quiet personality Floyd Patterson had. Never really talking any crap, just facts. It's hard to sell a guy like that unless he's a puncher, so Dubois can thank Jesus he's got that going for him. Otherwise he'd be avoided or ignored.

You couldn’t get two more contrasting characters, DD no BS stone killer, Gorman very affable, seems like the sort of bloke you could chat to all day in the pub. Really looking forward to this one, so rare that two high profile prospects square off these days.

Can you imagine what Gorman will look like when he hits his forties?

To be fair, neither of these guys look like they are in their early 20's.

Dubois is large but has a young boat. There’s nothing young looking about Nathan like. As mentioned on here before, they’re chalk and cheese these two.

I like Dubois. Don't really see much in Gorman in truth - reckon DDD will give him a pasting.

Generally I'd agree but on this occasion I don't. I only think this fight is happening because the promoter thinks Dubois is a bust and believes Gorman will hammer him and draw a line under things. Might be wrong on all counts but we'll see.

London’s own Dubois (11-0, 10KOs) tipped the scales at 239 pounds, right within his normal weight range for his past eight starts. It’s nearly eight pounds more than the 231¼ he weighed for his April 2017 pro debut, but the 21-year old knockout artist carries it extremely well.

Gorman (16-0, 11KOs) checked in at 256 pounds, his heaviest weight in two years.

I'm going Dubois TKO late, tricky to call & great to see two unbeaten fighters face off so early in their careers. Should be a solid card. :salut:

With Gorman coming into the fight so heavy, I wonder if he is thinking he'll brawl and not move around. DD by KO.

Gorman - 256
Dubois - 239
