    Ok, firstly I like the kid , but did have hime losing last night.

    Ahhh , where do I start.

    At 28 and being a professional fighter , he had a similar ring physique to the 35 year old Ricky Hatton when he fought Senchenko.

    Not everyone is born to look like Marvin Hagler but come on , this is your life and I also know its not a body building competition but you shouldnt be outworked , out fought and dropped by a 39 year old light punching euro champ. Then come in looking like you dont train.


    Gavin needs to have a look at himself and decide if he really really wants this , and I dont just mean for six weeks of training , i mean 24 hours a day 7 days a week and for the rest of his career.

    Or he will end up being just another fighter.

    peace.

    Two things:

    1) - Genetics. He is NEVER going to look like 'Iron' Mike.

    2) - He is fighting in a weight-class above where he should be.

    Is this the Kevin Mitchell syndrome?Skill and ring craft to burn just doesn't make it physically,no big enough or strong enough at the weight he prefers to fight at?

    He is a very very good boxer. That does not guarantee success. He needs dedicated training. Billy Nelson seems to like him. I think they would be a good match. The two of them post here and I'm thinking billy could use his experience to help him.

    What is it then, you c* nt?

    Gavin will NEVER be ripped, even at 140. His genetics are weak.

    You think it's impossible for him to look ripped? Are you serious?

    Can you show us your qualifications that have made you a geneticist?

    He can, to be fair, he just doesn't have a lot of lean body mass. He needs to put on some bulk, not lose even more weight.

    In a literal sense, I agree.

    I don't see Gavin becoming a black man any time soon.

    I like Gavin and I hope this loss is the wake up call he needs.

    His lax attitude to training was always gonna tell in the end. So much wasted talent.
