Frankie Gavin has put on twitter it looks like rematch is agreed for October time.
Will he avenge the loss? or will the be David Price all over again

I'd take Bundu again to be honest.

But i mean losing twice on the bounce after being undefeated and being pushed towards world level!!

Respect for him taking it and i think Gavin wins this time but massive risk if he loses

I'd back Gavin this time. He'll have learned a lot from their first fight and is good enough to make adjustments.

I'd back Bundu, he let Gavin do what he wanted for the first 5 rounds and paid him a lot of respect. Now he knows Frankie has weaknesses and he can exploit them, I think he will go after Frankie a lot earlier and try and exert his strength and dominate the fight physically.

Gavin can beat him, it was very close so he could adjust and do it, but if you made me pick one or the other I'd say Bundu again. he now has a real psychological edge. If October is true than Gavin only has 2-3 months to gain the requisite man-strength to keep Bundu off him for 12 rounds, this could backfire Price style.

Bundu all the way

Hopefully the Kool Aid 'Frankophiles' will juice the odds a little bit in favour of Leonard.

Frankophiles. That's pretty good. I'll be using that one.

Unless Bundu getting paid a lot of money its a stupid move if he loses to Gavin his career is basically over no one will voluntary fight him for EBU or world title after that loss. Bundu won the first but it was close to me Gavin can improve Bundu can't

Hope the rematch happens, fighters deserve a chance to avenge a loss and its something they are actually judged on post-career so fair play to Frankie if it happens. Its different to the price situation, Frankie didn't get stopped, he was getting stronger at the end. Bundu is a tall order but I'd back Frankie to have learnt from it. Time will tell.

Yeah, it's a very good fight for Gavin. The winner will be closing in on mandatory status for all four major world titles.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gavin gets a world title shot before Brook does.

I agree, the top men at welter are too strong and powerful.

The problem is convincing him that, by his own admission he woke up the morning of the Shikukutu fight, ate some breakfast and weighed in at 10st 7. He's made 10st before, but I get the feeling it took it out of him because he didn't do it right and now he thinks he can't make it anymore.

You're going down a nowhere road.

They have both just found their level, luckily Kell's was higher.

Let us bask in the glow

I didn't slag Brook off, I just thought Gavin was better than him. It's become blindingly obvious recently though that Gavin is simply not big enough or strong enough to compete at top level at Welter.

He got locked up for fighting in toilets, people a lot closer to him than you openly admitted he had been a bad liver, he struggles with Welter(not all camps are this long) and had had three title shots postponed after first becoming a mandatory four years ago. I think I was right to raise every point. I'm just glad he proved me wrong.

Gavin seems to tweet every week how he has just demolished another Dominos. I guess everyone deserves the odd cheat meal, but I'm not convinced he will ever have the discipline to make 140 again
