Strengths for Each Fighter
Kell Brook

Kell Brook has a stiff jab, and a beautifully timed right hand counter which is in keeping with his pinpoint accuracy. He will look to size up Frankie Gavin in the early rounds before overwhelming him with punishing combinations.
In fights against Vyascheslav Senchenko, and the rematch against Carson Jones, he showed killer instinct, and he will want to produce another spectacular finish on Saturday evening to hit back at any critics that still remain. Brook will win the fight if he can find his range, connect with the jab and land those accurate shots.

What has to be established is that Gavin is by no means an unskilled fighter. In 2007, he became Britain’s first amateur world champion, and with an amateur pedigree comes a quick, solid jab, and good head movement.
If Gavin is to triumph he will have to be exceptionally tricky and illusive if he wants to evade the accuracy of Brook, and if he can do this and get into a rhythm of controlling the pace he is capable of coming through with a close points victory.
