    Those pitter patter shots don't do much im afraid.

    Didn't have the power to keep a 39 year old man off him and should have been stopped in the 6th round.

    Needs to get down to 140 and start taking the game more seriously.

    Very harsh, it was very good watch and Bundu is no mug...

    Power is one thing I agree with, Gavin does not have very good power and you would worry for him with some of the big strong WW's.

    Completely agree, a man who hits as soft as that needs to throw punches in bunches and stop this single shot nonsense. Gavin was poor there I'm sorry to say.

    Give frankie some credit he showed a lot of heart and dug deep which he's never had to do before bundu deserved the win

    Frankie deserves bags of credit for the bravery he showed, but he just looked too small and weak. He looked tiny compared to Bundu. The other thing that hasn't been commented on is his fitness. He had a good talk with his corner after the 3rd or 4th where he already looked to be flagging and they had to tell him it was still early.

    Tonight he just wasn't good enough.

    Do u mean his body didn't look as conditioned as bundu because Gavin was the bigger man?

    The KD changed the dynamic completely. Could have won failing that; still looks a bit fragile though, physically.

    The KD did change it, I thought Gavin was having his best round up to that point. Just not good enough unfortunately.
