    If he does i'll eat my hat. He's good, very good but he didn't cut the ring off, was caught time and again on the way in and doesn't seem to be evolving into the pro-style. Farnell is a fine trainer as proven by his other fighters but Gavin is just not that impressive. Nice jab, fair combinations but no concept of been able to pressure effectively.

    The stoppage was farcical and his opponent was embarassingly inept and would have fallen apart if Gavin had of closed the ring down instead of trying to follow him round the ring point scoring.

    All in all a poor performance. But if it was computer scoring he'd have done great.

    What say you?

    He's not a pressure fighter, so obviously he's not going to look very good doing it.

    We'll see the best of Gavin when he's fighting competitively and boxing them.

    You can judge the way he cuts off the ring, and you can judge his defence, and you can judge his generalship... Amir Khan after two figts would have sparked the french dude in seconds. Am I wrong?

    Like I said apparently dick head, I didn't think such a thing existed in the AM's but APPARENTLY it does. Like I said, it will come with him I think. He's been fighting far better fighters in the ams dont think the step down in class is helping tbh

    Yea, but Khan would have been knocked down in the process.

    He is struggling, its plain to see. Compare his two fights to the rest of the olympians... Then compare his performance to a young Naz, amir Khan, paul ingle, Carl Froch, David Haye, Wayne McCullough. There is a blatant gulf in class. Just because you can fence using your arms, doesn't mean you'll cut it in the pro's where the opponents are tougher and the fights are longer.

    saying that compare it too Alexis Arguellos early career on Juan Manuel Marquez early on come to think of it even Jack Dempseys early career.
    The early fights dont show us the full picture.

    He showed he has a decent set of fundamentals, a high workrate, decent speed and works the body well. Hes what i call a proper pro. Hands high chin down type of guy. These can take you so far and this is where the intangibles come in and we dont know how much he has so this is what will show us how good he becomes.
