    murray stoppage.

    It should be a perfect style match up for Gavin but I just think he lacks strength and pop to keep Murray off him.

    edit. basically what thewinfella said

    Who is Gavin going to be fighting in an eliminator??? Steve Williams.

    Williams in October in an eliminator
    Theophane in December for the British
    Daws in March for the British
    Murray in July for the Lonsdale and the European

    then bang next season he is in line for a world title.

    Sell. Its not attractive yet. Murray is top of the domestic heap. Frankie has looked horrible in his last 2 fights.

    It would be a decent fight, a real clash of styles but i'd expect Gavin to thoroughly outbox Murray, especially if he doesn't make any style adaptions (a bit of ****ing head movement would be a start !!).

    Also i'd like to see Murray in there with Breidis Prescott, that could be a real tear up, dont think it would last too long but would be fun whilst it did.

    Sell, After Frankies last showing I'd rather see Barry McGuigan vs Frankie. Never seen an out burst like that before from Barry.

    Build Murray back up with atleast 1 fight... Let Frankie have atleast another or 2, then Murray will be the prefect opponent to feed to Gavin (although it wouldn't be a forgone conclusion).

    Murray is a decent names and will sell some tickets, he'll make it attractive atleast on his part and he'll be considered the top domestic fighter if he were to move up; so it'll really put Gavin over if Gavin were to win that is.

    Would be a great fight for Gavin. Mitchell took a bit of a pounding in his last fight, may well be suffering a lack of confidence. He's going to struggle to pin down Gavin, and when he does Gavin avoids shots a lot better than Mitchell so he's going to be frustrated.
