Think he was just sniffling a bit, might have a cold or something like a runny nose, he was wiping it before the round started.

Ah ok . Yeah could be a confidence thing Tbf he's looking great against Pryce and looked ace against Vassell. You just want to see him move on a get tested at a higher level.

The reason I asked aswell was the way his trainer seemed to say something along the lines of "oh cmon Frankie" in a reassuring kind of way.

Yeah same. I think it would bring out the best of him aswell. He needs a come forward fighter to really make him look good.

Rawling moaning about it being dull, Barry Jones on the other hand is making Gavin sound like he's the next Rigondeaux...

Does worry me a bit, but he seems to hit hard enough to stop fighters in their tracks and he is that good of a boxer to make up for it.

Gavin vs Khan

After Khan gets schooled by Mayweather it could be a comeback option I guess ??

True. He's a bit of a freak though in that he's got amazing reflexes *slightly diminished now* and he's got a great chin when he does get tagged.

Good luck to him but Lee Haskins only lost 2 or 3 rounds against him at European level (it would be unfair to label Haskins as domestic level I think.) So I'll be aghast if he wins tonight.
