Should be called 'battle of the lesser siblings'

Gamal has failed to impress me thus far, Mcdonnel is a solid domestic level operator and should have too much experience for him.

Nice fight. I'd rather see this than either one knocking over a Lithuanian or random Latin American.

Pride will be at stake.

Really good fight this. Is Gavin the brother who lost to Vargas?

Gamal was not happy with this year, he can't believe he didn't fight enough. Said he was going to speak to Hearn.

Hearn has delivered.. his time to step up.

Gavin should take this. I didn't see fight Vs Vargas but was a MD so he must have gave a decent account of himself against one of the divisions best.

This could be a really good fight. I'm rooting for Yafai, still hasn't had many fights, but he wants to step up. He needs more fights. He had a very inactive 2017. Conor Benn nearly has the same amount of fights as him.

I think the styles will blend quite well here funnily enough. Yafai to catch up with McDonnell mid to late is how I think it will go.

Agreed, nice little fight, sort of Euro-level solid British fight,

I see Yafai stopping him late.

Gavin has done really well and over-achieved.
I see Yafai as the hungrier of the two. He goes through the gears well and could overwhelm Gav and force a referee intervention.

Think this will go right to the wire, Gamal is the more talented stylist but McDonnell knows how to grind out wins
