Tonight's Action

First topic message reminder :

WOW WHAT A FIRST FIGHT!

Feel like I got my moneys worth already and I didn't care a jot about that fight before the bell haha!

What a comeback, proper heroics

Hoping brook wins between rounds 4 and 9 - got money on a stoppage in each...

Just been having a look through the heavyweight rankings - who is Charles Martin? IBF have him at 4?

He fought Tom Dallas last time, 21-0-1 with 19kos.

It really isn't that simple when the division is so poor, there is no real opposition aside from Wlad, Stiverne, Wilder and Povetkin.

Mismatch coming up...


Brook's Mrs isn't that tasty...

Joshua is a one man gang, I think he will destroy all the current heavyweights within the next year.

Is Gavin any good?

Hopefully they will consider matching him with a heavyweight who isnt showing up to lose next

Not sure its going to be a fun time for Frankie..

Still think Gavin can make this messy and make Brook look less than special

Glad Paulie is on board

Paulie is a really good commentator.
Great insight and explanation of technical details.

Gavin in survival mode

Had the makings of a stinker, looks like fulfilling its potential.

Why I love watching Showtime Rob, Paulie is a fantastic commentator

Survival mode :-/

Gavin makes Clev look like Gatti

Yeah Milky I thought this would either be a blowout or a striker, the card itself has been fantastic so far, if Hearn had got his way the main event would have been Brook Khan and I think it would rival any card in Britain ever

Brook looks class..

Mismatch

Easy for brook

Stinker and it's not Kell's fault..

120-108, fight makes a decent argument for going to bed.

Gavin really knows how stink a place out

Like Paulie immensely - gives you the sort of insight you really want from an ex-fighter.

Yes, mismatch makes you look class. An obvious outcome, this is a nothing fight

Gavin is just good enough to hang around and make it messy without being good enough or strong enough to ever threaten to win it.

Gavin still fights with an amateur style

Lands one then admires it

Gavin's trying to take Audley's title for 'most dismal British world effort ever' by the looks of it...

Mitchell could beat Gavin and he's 12 pounds lighter

Gavins amateur pedigree and skills can make him last but as alluded too he just doesnt have the pop in his shots to beat Brook

Think brook would be worth his time hitting to the body which is where bundu hurt gavin, could slow him down enough for him to land a clean head shot

This is awful. Puts a dampener on a fantastic card

Jesus what a fcking stink

Well this has put a downer on what's been a very good and enjoyable card. Going whack a film on and finish me beers. How's this is a world title fight is beyond me.

I understand Bundu getting a shot as he beat Gavin and was European champ.

Gavin gets a shot because.....well....he was amateur word champion and was around to make up the numbers....I think.


Enjoy.

Going to bed.... Good bill.....Good night guys...

Brook just looks too strong for Gavin

Gavin trying a little more this round, but come on... You're fighting in front of 20,000, on a massive PPV show that is being shown globally, he doesn't look like he's trying to win, just survive

Mrs truss has come to the same conclusion... Proved herself more knowledgeable on boxing than her husband... And now off to bed... With a young barnan she met earlier.

I might turn this off, big Brook fan, but this is just Gavin making it difficult for Brook...

This is truly awful. Hope Brook puts him away in the next couple...

Well that was predictable

Brook wins in the 6th

Thanks heavens or that

Well done to brook thought gavins awkwardness would have made this last for 12

Brook needs a named fighter, has good buzz behind him now. Hopw he doesnt sign on to fight Algieri afte rhe pushed khan close

Gavin needs to stop cutting corners and get back down to 140.

Think I predicted that so happy days. That was awful by the way.

Thank the Lord for that. Expected little else from Gavin, but have a go, the result will be the same, but try and earn yourself some work in the future

The division isn't great but there's much better opposition out there than the bums Joshua has beat. If the top 50 guys aren't good enough put him in with top 30's.

It's quite convenient for Hearn to carry on like this.

Yea if he gets to 140 he could, could, just have a future but i cant see him getting there at this point in his career. Hes a tall giy but very slender, has barely any muscle mass and his shots just bounced off the stockier stronger brook.

Don't think I've seen a World title challenger with such little self belief.

Gavin is hard to look good against, but Brook done well to put him away thought it was gonna be a painful 12 rounds

Pianeta vs Chagaev winner could be a decent step, both lost to wlad and an extra loss from chagaev to adamek, they should at least take joshua a few rounds surely
