    Superb performance, absolutely schooled Vassell. I gave Frankie every round except round 5 but he looked the biz tonight for sure

    Id love to see him fight Kell Brook but that fight won't happen. Frankie should challenge the European level now, and then who knows. Don't think he's quite ready for world level yet but in 5 fights then maybe

    Once again congrats Frankie, hopefully he has turned his career round this time and onwards and upwards. Masterclass tonight, made Vassell look very ordinary and kept to the gameplan superbly :good

    Also, he doesn't get enough credit for how elusive he is, very hard to hit and his counter punching is getting better and better every fight

    Jab, Hold, Jab, Hold, Jab, Hold, Hug Hug Hug Hug. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Good win, showed some nice skills but i'm not looking forward to his next "Boxing" match. More of a wrestling match tonight.

    But that was obviously the game plan and it was very effective. Very Hattonstyle

    Vassell had no answer for it what so ever. Makes the old Heffron/Gavin talk silly, Gavin levels above

    Frankie is more humble, more focused, more mature and developing in a place where he feels more at home and he's enjoying parenthood and life.

    Tonight it showed, I must say never rated Vassell and knew Frankie would beat him but TBH Frankie made a good domestic fighter who would of troubled him 12 months ago look like a league below.

    Onwards and upwards for the lad. Being humble is key i believe the Woodhouse fight shocked him into gear.

    Great performance from Gavin, I thought vassell might really push him but it's clear frankie has really knuckled down and is taking it seriously. Definitely a potential world champion in the future

    What a ****in **** analysis of a superb performance.
    frankie was excellent tonight proved a lot of doubters wrong, he couldn't miss with that right hand tonight and taught Vassell a boxing lesson.
    What's next for Gavin??

    he's the bollocks lets be fair, on footwork and natural ability you dont get much if any better than him. how often does he waste his punches or miss, boxing fans take him for what he is absolute quality but how far can he go?

    It was a perfect game plan, doesn't mean i have to enjoy the fight, it was crap.

    I always have problems with guys who hold all the time its not an entertaining style, i prefer guys to Box their way out not hold and clinch whenever someone gets close.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the fight bit it wasn't for me.

    I think he could win a world title, I heard that he used to school Khan in sparring, would love to see that fight.

    Steady on m8, Hasn't beat anyone of note. 140 and 147 is stacked. All the champs and contenders are top notch.
