WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE BUILD-UP TO MCCORMACK VS DOBSON?
The fight was recently announced, so nothing has happened so far.
WHO IS THE FAVOURITE FOR THE MCCORMACK VS DOBSON?
Although Dobson has a superior record, Pat McCormack will be deemed the favourite. McCormack is a 2020 Olympic silver medalist being fast tracked for success and pushed into a headline role. When you compare that to Peter Dobson’s credible record, it suggest McCormack has a higher ceiling. Dobson has been competing in Team Combat League 2023, a team based boxing variant that sees 1 round bouts between members of each team. Although it isn’t an ideal form guide, Dobson has gone 3-7 during the season, which doesn’t suggest a massive threat to dominant McCormack.
