its totally possible imo, dont see this as close myself, dub will run over him

In all honesty I've not seen enough of Gorman to really feel like I could make a prediction.

I think because Gorman has talked up his alleged sparring successes against Dubois it may have built up a bit of a myth around him.

ya, plus fat bois are the hot trend right now

My boxing dreams are nearly always completely wrong

Same haha.

It was weird though as I very rarely dream about boxing and I can't even remember giving this fight much thought to be honest.

It def didn't help him but he was lighter than usual against Joshua

if def did help him, cos he knocked him out! and he weighed in at 19 stone. there may be parallels here in the gorman fight....one sculpted and stiff adonis vs a lardass who turns up to fight.....

Obv Gorman come in too líght!

as the great bernard hopkins would put it...too light in the ass.
to be fair, dubois was better in every department. wont be calling him stiff again.

Probably no one cares, but....

I got to see the event on a great sports pub near The Pantheon in Paris called The Bombardier. They even had the Yoka fight on another screen.

I just contacted them on Messenger. Got the event on a big screen by the bar as well

Good fight and good win for Dubois. The power is definitely for real and there is more to him than raw power too.

That's another "sparring" tale gone up in smoke. The real thing is what matters and I like the way Dubois handled himself before, during and after the fight.

Suddenly now, FW heavyweight camp is much stronger than Eddies.

Tyson, Dubois and Gorman v AJ, Whyte, Price and Allen! Maybe Usyk will be very important for Eddie now.

You can add Hughie to Matchroom. He signed today.

Still puts FW in the box seat! Amazing how quickly the picture changes, getting Usyk a shot and for him to win will be plan A if AJ loses the rematch

I think Hughie is crap so I agree. Best Hughie will be is maybe top Euro level. Not any higher than that.

I've been a big Hughie supporter but I think Pulev showed his level.
Let's see, I think he has the talent and the tools, and he can improve, but the time for talking has gone, he has to walk the walk.
