    Domestic fights normally get the blood pumping and im wondering why Skeete vs Gavin does nothing for me??

    To some extent I think its because I see this as a bit of a soft touch for Gavin, a way to get a win at the expense of Skeete, but am i wrong? Does Skeete have a real chance of winning this fight? Has Gavin suddenly gone from a future world champ to someone who cant beat a domestic opponent?

    Could this turn out to be a really interesting fight? Or is it as I suspect an easy return to the ring for Gavin?

    Good to hear some positivity for Skeete, as I say I just see him being set up for a fall here, an easy win for Gavin. But hopefully u r right, Skeete does have a chance :good

    On the fence myself on this fight but would be surprised to see it go to the final bell, knockout for me winner not 100% sure but will lean towards Gavin.

    Honestly as fights go this is an absolute snoozefest, Gavin wins comfortably.

    the coach at my old amateur gym have told me that Skeete is looking sharp in training and he is very convinced Bradley wins this.

    He rarely gets it wrong so im going for skeete

    Agree with this.

    It's a sink or swim fight for Gavin...if he loses his career could be over at the top level so he'll be out to make a statement.

    For Skeete, this is effectively his "World title fight" so i'm sure he'll give it everything and put on the performance of his life.

    The winner will get a shot at the European title too and be highly ranked by all the World title bodies.

    Also i think the fight will be a lot more entertaining then people will expect, Gavin is coming off one of the best fights in the UK this year agains Bundu and Skeete seems to have become a lot more fan friendly and entertaining in his last 3 fights scoring knockouts in all of them.

    It might not end up as a blood and guts fight but it'll certainly have it moments and might even turn out to be a good scrap.

    Frankie Gavin is levels above Skeete. Losing by 1 point to Bundu does not put Gavin at domestic level. Not disrespecting Skeete but Gavin wins comfortably.
