    Gavilan would outwork him for sure. Top fighter Starling but The Kid is even better.

    Gavilan went 25 total rounds with prime WW SRR in their 2 fights.
    The Kid didn't win....but he didn't embarrass himself.

    Gavilan unfortunately has faded from the Public's eye.

    As much as I like Starling, The Keed trounces him over 15.
