    A lot of punching with the inside of his hand which is illegal - just looked like an amateur without punching power and tried to imitate RJJ without that kind of reflexes and handspeed...not that promising... :verysad

    I disagree i thought he looked fine.. its his first fight of course he has a lot to learn but give him a chance first. His first 10 fights shouldnt be judged to harshly.

    he looked ****ing awful. like a horrible cross between RJJ and calzaghe.

    still far too early to decide but he didn't look up to the job.

    hes always gonna get critisized and scrutinised at every opportunity particularly because he won that gold.

    What i would say is that he doesnt look like he has much power at hes disposal at the moment..............but thats about all im gonna say-its hes first pro fight!

    The guy he fought didn't exactly allow himself to be hit flush.. he was pathetic.

    I couldnt realli critise a guy on his first fight. Ive seen him in ameture and im sure he has way more than what he showed 2nyt in terms of power and workrate. I guess I jus have to wait for a few more fights to see his chances in the proz.

    My personal money is on Gavin to best the best of the bunch, the only reason why everyone goes on about De Gale is because he won gold, Gavin did not have the chance to do so, which was partly his fault. Either way, I don't think he should be judged so harshly, its only his irst fight.

    I was once lined up to fight frankie but venue change messed things up. now im glad it did lol. Yea i think he's deffinately the pick of the bunch and has great potential, just hope he develops a bit more power.
