    What's weird though is I like watchign Calderon fight, Mayweather, even Ian Napa.

    But for some reason Gavin just hasn't generated any interest in me at all yet.
    Maybe once the level of opposition is at a satisfactory level then?

    Yes probably. Once he starts fighting people whose ability I am aware of then I will probably appreciate him more. Certainly James De Gale proved a lot against Paul Smith.

    Seeing Frankie in against a well known, respected opponent will likely lead to him growing on me if he proves himself. I also haven't yet watched the Lomax fight so may be impressed by that.

    As I said in an earlier post, it's mainly because up to now he's been fighting complete nobodies and just jumping about a lot landing pot shots until the referee seems to feel that a former amatuer world champ should have scored a knockout by now and so waves off the fight.

    His entire record is full of TKO's where the guy was stopped on his feet. Honestly, It's like he's still in the amatuers and once he gets a certain number of points ahead they stop the fight.

    I can't really recall it happening with any other fighter, at least not to this extent.

    He hasn't really stopped anybody, he's just outclassed them and so the ref provides the ko. If anything I think it makes him look bad, like he's a complete powder puff and the ref has had Frank Warren's voice in his earpiece telling him to stop it before the public realise he really is just tickling guys in there.
