Well done Kell Brook.

Gavin didn't have the weight of shot to deter the Yorkshireman

Quite right. It's easy to see he can drop 7lbs but he doesn't want to put the work in. Waste of talent at 147lbs.

Well, it was never the fight people wanted to see. Now, Brook needs a big fight against a top level chap. Onwards and upwards, the gimme mandatory is done and the keep busy defence is ticked. No need for anymore 'shake off the rust' fights.

Six uneventful rounds, result never really in doubt. Frankie Gavin poor tonight, looked like he just wanted to survive.

Gavin was there for the money. He'll retire now. What an awful showing in a title fight. Didn"t throw a punch in anger.

Or lightweight.

One weight division at a time.

That whole fight and atmosphere seemed just weird to me,nobody looked like they were enjoying themselves, Brook was _in sparring mode,switching stance time and again and looking almost bored,as did the crowd,Gavin had some success with ,the odd single shots but. Ultimately outclassed

Frankie saying the right things there. Good to hear, he's still young enough to do something in the sport.

I have say brook deserves all the credit in the world for coming back this active after that attack. It's amazing that he's totally unaffected physically and mentally.

Brook vs. Khan/Rios
Gavin vs. JoJo Dan
Joshua vs. Chambers
Mitchell vs. Linares 2

next for me...

What's he saying?

Kell is right at least Frankie had the balls to get in there Khan is using every excuse in the book. really hope Mayweather doesn't give Khan the last fight.

He almost look lightweight. Froch is right Gavin is useless as a pro

wonder if Selby and Cleverly will be co-headlining in Wales any time soon?

He's enjoying being with Matchroom and enjoying his boxing. Say's he'll be back and eventually wants another world title crack.

Gavin seems like a top guy but I'm not sure where he goes from here.

I wonder if he might have a future as a trainer, he obviously has a lot of technical knowledge.

The only thing he should be saying is that he's moving down to light welterweight.

All in all a great nights boxing,I just hope I can find the Burkinshaw-Mboyane cfrd tomorrow

brook is looking the real deal. lets hope we can see him vs the best of a great division

I don't think moving down two weight divisions would be a very good idea.

Froch saying that he advised Brook on his game plan!

His ego knows no bounds.

An absolute sham of a world title fight against a light welter.
