Frankie was a world champion amateur and was the clear favourite for Gold at the 2008 Olympics (but the fcuking lunatic failed to make weightatsch). 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!!

It was Fun-Time09 or something like that.

He came across as a sound lad to be fair and everyone I know who has met him agrees that he is a good lad.

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!!!

I agree. If Brook is looking for a big fight with Khan/Mayweather/Pacquiao then this Gavin fight is not the fight to get those guys in the ring.

Gavin isn't known in America and although I expect Brook to win, it will be a victory he won't look good in. Gavin is tricky and awkward as hell.
