    That fight only has two outcomes...

    1) Gavin performs out of his skin and uses 100% of his skills that made him an amazing amateur and gives Kell a Boxing lesson (I think Gavin needs a fight like this to 'get up' for the occasion).

    2) Gavin really has declined badly and Kell is Bundu x10 and retires him.

    So does this mean he won't be on the Birmingham show?

    And if he couldn't get up for skeete how will he get up for brook??

    Brook will absolutely walk through Gavin. I like Gavin but he's not a WW. He went life and death with Bundu who got a one sided beat down by Thurman.

    Unlikely, but not impossible. Gavin has always had the skills; it's his dedication and motivation that have been in question. Kell's footwork is not the best. He might struggle against someone who could move and box.

    Sounds like they're adding Joshua to the Brum card and Gavin will either fight Brook for the IBF or Bradley in a final eliminator.

    As someone going to the Birmingham show, Joshua instead of Gavin sounds great. :lol:

    Gavin doesnt possess enough power to hold off journeymen let alone Brook.

    Honestly i think he would do worse than Jo Jo Dan did.

    Bradley fight wouldn't be on May 30th, that would be in America at a later date. Don't even know if Bradley would really be bothered to fight Gavin though, heard he could move up to 154?

    I thought they'd try and get gavin a bit more recognition before throwing him in with brook.

    the ticket sales for the brum show look shocking at the moment, they only have about a third of the arena as it stands, and that's not close to being sold out.

    heard a rumour mackin vs spike could be on this show. nothing trustworthy or official though, Anyone heard anything?

    i really dont see how they sell brook vs gavin after the way gavin performed on kells undercard. to make it worthwhile they need to get franky a fight on the birminham show that will show all of his skills and will get people thinking he has a chance against kell. eddie really needs to pick frankys opponents well if he wants 'a massive domestic clash' to ever happen with kell and not match him the way he has ricky burns!!!!!!

    Kell beats Gavin every day of the week and twice on a Sunday. Far too strong for Frankie. Still think Gavin would be better at 140.
