Contrary to what people think, Gavin shouldn't fight for the 140lbs belt yet. A win against Lomax, who took the fight at 2 days notice, up at welter, shouldn't get you a shot. I'd like to see Gavin in with Wright, if I'm honest.

i thin a knock out tournament would be better for the title with daws,wright,cook,gavin,morrisson and williams 10 rounders till you have the last 2 which would then be a 12 rounder. probably the poster's will all be done then barry morrisson will pull out a week or 2 before the fight like he usually does

id like too see gavin at 10st :!:

he looked gaunt at the weigh in & looked very soft fight night. i think gavin trains hard as he has stamina etc but i really o think he cant be strict on his diet.

& who would bloody vacate a title without a defence :!:

i know what your saying about the vacating of the title but he wants a world title shot,personally i think the british title is the best title in the world. its the hardest to win outright so i would defend it but then there is the down side of if he loses the title its a set back in his quest for a world title shot cause imagine if he loses who would give him a title shot then?

Gavin-Wright is a good call&the winner of that gets a shot..I think Theopane&Daws will rematch..

a world title shot who's he with to open these door's?? i mean he'd get alot more defending his british :!: some of these fighters we dont know of in the states which are on the fringe are far better then are european class fighters.i think theopane has really improved, but i dont rate him as highly as most on here as they see him as some kind of adrian stone.

the world title shot is not my words it theophanes himself,he has improved and i think he should defend the belt and try and get a lonsdale if he can

Lightweight are you sure?

I believe he said he is looking for opportunities at both Light Welterweight and Lightweight.

Wright-Gavin would be a good match up. Wrights a big lad for a Lightweight.

i did have him quoted say saying it was a 1 off fight and he will vacate

his Facebook post of "if it aint broke dont fix it" about what he will do next seems to suggest vacating
