    he's amazing. I think he would beat most lightwelters in Britain right now.

    Terry Edwards said he's never seen anyone with a boxing brain like Frankey's and watching him you can see it. So patient and precise, absolute joy to watch.

    He's going to be outstanding, he looks to have serious skills.

    Gonna be good to watch over the years.

    Looking good. I'd put him up there with Groves at the moment. Him and Groves got that fight in them. Then it's DeGale, then Price then Saunders. Can't think of any others.

    I'll admit I doubted his ability to make it as a pro because of his perceived lack of power and relatively poor technique in the amateurs. The fact he's already proved me wrong after a handful of fights tell more about his ability to learn the professional ropes quickly and his adaptability more than anything. I'm looking forward to watching him progress.

    I don't know what people were watching, he looked brilliant from day one. You don't see many fighters with that type of class where they can do everything in the ring. He can go forwards, back and sideways and throw any punch.

    Gavin looked very impressive against a decent opponent - so he deserved a lot of credit.
    For me Groves and Degale are the two stand-outs so far, but Gavin is not far off with that performance. Bellew is definitely up there too. You have gotta be happy with the talent coming through, there are a few future world champs in that list.

    Very impressed with Gavin last night. Hopefully a few more decent learning fights and then next year he starts stepping up the domestic scene.

    i have not been impressed with gavin until tonight. they have been doing a good job in arnies gym. still think he may be small at light welterweight for world class but looks class.

    I was really impressed with him again to be honest. I think its so easy for him at this level and he's not even trying. Saville is a tough fighter and should have been there at the end of 6 on paper but he was completely outclassed and over powered. Well done Frankie.

    frankie showed his class last night also showed he can band a bit now, i think lads like frankie may have to be stepped up a bit faster so he doesn't start picking up bad habits!
    he's goin all the way an i think were lucky to have a talent like him!

    Frankie was superb last night along with Bellew. Both trained by Anthony 'Arnie' Farnell. I have been watching them train an they will both be super stars for a fact. Frankies defence and footwork is brilliant and he is getting more an more powerful.

    Well done Frank.
