I thought Gavin boxed well, winning every round. I didn’t agree with the stoppage, but don’t think it would have made a difference to the outcome of the fight. Degale, however, disappointed. He showed almost no power in his shots (when he wasn’t slapping) and little overall work over the short, four rounder. When you see how other great boxers have had to work so hard, to see the money he made just from signing a pro contract (1 million) you can understand why British fight fans are impatient to see him improve. I know it’s early days, but he will seriouly need to rethink his training methods if he ever wants to make an impact as a pro.

Gavin and Saunders look pretty good imo.

Gavin’s defence was excellent, as you’d expect from an amateur world champion, and when he did move up a gear he showed a fair bit of power.

Degale slaps an awful lot for an Olympic gold medallist, though.

Agree with Dan btw – Those three look like they could be something, along with Munroe

Cant believe Sky Sports are getting away with putting these guys on the PPV. No way am i paying money to watch big-head Degale fight.

these are not the british ‘prospects’ to be watching, keep an eye out for kell brook, nathan cleverly and george groves. they are far much better.

Frankie Gavin and Billy Joe Saunders are the two who have impressed me the most, I can’t really comment on their futures based on this or any performance as they are all still starting out. My judgement is still reserved until they step up a level domestically.

Gavin adjusted his style for most of the fight against Tergaoui who isnt to be underestimated as hes got a good punch, Gavins body movement was making Tergaoui miss lots,he won every round to me that aint a bad result a all, premature stoppage yes but that dont negate the fact Gavin was winning the fight bigtime! Makay your picking fault where you can, rather than look at positives, Nathan King is a journeyman but he`ll make most fighters look bad so give Degale a break, geez David Starrie made Calzaghe look bad in their fight , it just happens. Billy Je Saunders won his fight outright , ok he didnt knock his opponent out big deal……
