    Too tentative here Gorman..

    Waiting too long..

    Can see he's far quicker when he let's them go but isn't picking them well enough..

    Good fight though..

    Gorman tactics all wrong ! Terrible game plan. He should be outboxing him, instead he's trying to out punch him

    An absolutely embarrassing performance by Gorman..

    * scared to jab and really commit. Was throwing a looping left that missed wildly everytime and he was moving back doing it shook..

    Got that prediction spectacularly wrong. Dubois took the * out of him..

    Dubois beat him with ease, he looks levels above.

    Dubois boxing has improved as well, lovely body shots and good head-movement with power, he's going to be a big threat and at such a young age as well.

    Gorman looked terrified, only threw the left hook. Devoid of ideas, terrible gameplan, made a * of it

    Watching online, but is that bt sport just showing a distant picture? They're talking about shots and no * can see anything.

    He'd batter Parker imo. Parker would have the speed, defo. But parker fights in spurts and couldn't knock out a *. Dubois would be able to plow forward the whole fight without worrying what's coming back.

    Was Dubois too good for Gorman or did he just bottle it?

    Think he'd stop him as well I was just looking at the heavyweight division though and Dubois was ranked 11th by the WBO before tonight. There isn't that many names before throwing him in at world level with the likes of a Whyte which would be some fight..

    Most guys are tied up or avoided..

    Cheers, sounds like Dubois is decent.

    Just had a look online and the BBC have a photo of the fight and it's nuts, it looks so much like what a Fury vs AJ fight would look like and then to find out he's his cousin! They are both so fat around the waist, that's not normal for heavy weights historically is it?

    Who of all the greats have carried so much weight around the midriff?

    At 21 is Dubois a serious challenger? It's hardly a golden era right now but he sounds like he's got a bit of fire and steel about him.
