But Jennings is down to fight Kell Brook for the British title which is also a WBO eliminator to fight Manny Pacquiao that's if he chooses to stay at Welterweight when I looked and then the second one fight is for the vacant belt. So by my reckoning Jennings will be getting shots at the British title regardless if he loses against Brook, but if he wins this and then fights Jenning's loses does that mean he will lose his number 1 status, as I am baffled by it all.

*if* JOD is staying down at 140 i think him vs Gavin is a very interesting match
it would be easy to say it was a match of similar styles as they're both southpaw/boxer types but actually i think they are fundamentally quite different
JOD's got some basic flaws iMo that Gavin would take advantage of: JOD seems a bit like a style over substance sort of fighter to me, has some of the flaws i would identify with the worst habits of Ingle fighter. he uses a lot of unneccessary movement IMO and while JOD's a decent mover i think gavin's footwork is better, much more precise and economical. his punches are also tighter and shorter, and Gavin's defence is better too IMO
i think Gavin would look really good against JOD who i also think is a bit too tall for 140 and i wonder if he is draining much to get down there.

Terrance Cauthen hails from gritty Trenton in New Jersey, best known for a notorious big house that held Rubin Carter for too many years, and makes his way here as the first 'name' opponent for Londoner John O’Donnell in a 12-rounder at York Hall on September 10.
So, what more do we know about the loose-limbed, pot-shotting Cauthen? He turned pro long ago in 1996 after taking bronze at the Atlanta Olympics (along with one Floyd Mayweather Junior) and rattled off 15 wins before he was stopped in four rounds by Boston's Teddy Reid, a dangerous light-welterweight who had beaten the likes of Eamonn Magee and Juan Laporte and would continue to fight – and often win - in world class.
Cauthen brushed himself down and reeled off 11 wins but then dropped back-to-back decisions to rugged Colombian Dairo Esalas and Augusta bogeyman Paul Williams, the giant southpaw who is universally regarded as one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world today. In his very first fight at welterweight, Cauthen went 10 rounds with Williams and made him look quite ordinary, although he fought to survive and did a lot of holding.
After six more wins, Cauthen was overwhelmed by Brooklyn strongman Sechew Powell in four rounds in an IBF title eliminator up at light-middleweight, a weight at which Cauthen looked small. That was in December 2007. He dropped back down to welter and has endured probably the worst run of his career since, with three wins and two defeats, including a 10-round stoppage at the hands of Canada’s 22-0 Antonin Decarie in Montreal. The other defeat is OK: he held the world class Shamone Alvarez to a majority 10-round decision. As for the wins, Cauthen, who is now 34, with a record of 35-6 (9), showed that he is not ready for the scrapheap when he outscored the previously unbeaten Alexis Camacho over eight rounds in 2008 and when he turned back two other prospects, Isam Khalil and Cleotis Pendarvis, on eight-round decisions earlier this year, which flags something of a warning to Team O’Donnell. He comes off that brace.
Three words would describe Cauthen’s approach: stick, move, hold. Think of a slick southpaw who likes to stay out of trouble as he pops out the punches, think of Cory Spinks. Two words would describe Cauthen’s power – nothing much. However, he holds decisions over former fringe contenders Ricky Quiles, Franco Ognentho (twice) and Jermaine Marks, and was outboxing former world title challenger Raul Frank before a blatant butt flattened Cauthen in the seventh round and led to a no-contest. Obviously, he brings over vast experience, particularly against southpaws (O’Donnell is a southpaw), and while this is his first overseas assignment as a 14-year pro, Cauthen has boxed in the Blue Horizon in Philly a few times and will enjoy the York Hall - all in all, a good test for the 24-year-old O’Donnell.
