    My prediction is that MVC picks Brook 'officially' before making a thread saying he 'would not be surprised' if Frankie Gavin pulled this off.

    Brook should win possibly around the 9th to 10th rounds though if it's sooner it would not surprise me . I was quite excited when Gavin first turned pro but I don't think he has lived up to his potential

    I hope Gavin renders that tranny sounding pr ick unconcious and does everybody in UK a favor. We don't want to see him fighting bums and milking the fans any longer.

    I consider Brook the second best WW of the new generation only after Thurman until they fight, but people will be surprised how good Gavin is. Hes certainly better than the Ionut Dan fella Brook recently destroyed. This fight can go to cards easily.

    Kell beats Porter which by far tops anything Run Time had done and yet Thurman gets the higher rating until they fight. Based upon what? Keith being American?

    You can make that argument. Porter is indeed a very good opponent, easily top 5, but Thurmans overall resume is better since Brook fights in the UK and had less opportunities to fight top opposition until the Porter fight, which makes Thurman a more established fighter at this moment, lets not underestimate wins over the likes of Chaves and Guerrero. But it might (or not) change when they face each other, like I said.

    Brook beats the hell out of Frankie and the corner throw in the towel around the 9th or 10th.

    :good

    Frankie was a world champion amateur and was the clear favourite for Gold at the 2008 Olympics (but the fcuking lunatic failed to make weight:patsch). As such, he possess greatly under appreciated skills. He is awkward as hell and in many respects Frankie is a destitute man's Mayweather (highly talented but often in "boring" fights due to his skill and "just do enough to win clearly, without taking any risks whatsoever" style).

    That said, Fun-Time really should be fighting at LWW (the moobs he was sporting in his last fight gave mine a run for their money) and whilst he is undoubtedly talented, he is a very small WW and is by no stretch of the imagination a big puncher.

    I'm a big Kell Brook fan, but Frankie is a sound lad and I would love to see him put up a great show!! He used to post on here quite a lot, but left after being trolled to fcuk from some keyboard warriors on here (the only ring most of those trolling cu nts have been in is their Boyfriend's).

    Make no mistake, Frankie has enough skill to make Brook look poor for several rounds. Jennings' movement gave Kell problems (and Frankie is trickier and much more awkward than Mick).

    This is a fight that Kell should win via stoppage (he is simply too large and talented for Frankie to handle for 12 rounds) but dont be surprised if an inspired Gavin makes us wonder if Kell Brook is all that.

    This is not a fight I would have made if I was Fast Eddie!!

    Gavin has failed miserably to live up to his potential (I guess the clue is in his nickname).

    I just wonder if a world title shot is what Frankie needed to get seriously motivated? He clearly lost to Bundu, but I do believe that he quite possibly did not take old man Leonard as seriously as was clearly necessary.

    This has the potential to be a "One step forward, two steps back" type of fight for Kell in which he wins, but looks decidedly average against a guy many think he should run through in short order... thus hurting Kell's marketability and big fight potential!!

    You can just hear Khan (and his fans in particular) mocking Kell for not destroying Fun-Time in quick time!!!
