    Former world amateur champion Frankie Gavin is to face Wolverhampton journeyman Steve Saville in his fourth professional fight.
    Light-welterweight Gavin, 24, is part of Frank Warren's stable and is due to fight next in Liverpool on October 30.
    Gavin is unbeaten since turning pro last October after failing to make the lightweight limit for the 2008 Olympics.

    Not bad I suppose.

    Beat Carey twice and was only just beat by Hamidi.

    Not a bad fight this.

    Better than one of those Churchill dog impersonating Georgians, well..... Gavin fighting his mother would be better than that, TBH.

    Saville was robbed vs Hamidi. I have idea how Hamidi can look himself in the face after that win, a complete joke.

    Anyway Saville vs Gavin is a good test.

    Is this the same Hamidi who has been ripped off in nearly every other close fight he has had?

    Saville's no journeyman. Very interesting this one, bit of a Brum/Black Country derby.

    The recent Al Hamidi loss was controversial - basically Saville got cut due to a headclash (I didn't see it well enough to say it was a butt but a lot of people I know have) forcing Saville to go defensive (which he's no good at) and lose on points

    The twat headbutted him. Sorry for the language but Hamidi was a disgrace.
