By Kbarsey: Tonight at the 02 arena in London, UK, we will be witnessing a mouth watering card on Sky Box Office that will entice all boxing fans. Everybody will have their opinion on whether it is a PPV worthy card but none the less it is a very good card.
Their are four bouts I want to focus on in particular.
Firstly Anthony Joshua vs Kevin “kingpin” Johnson
By Allan Fox: For boxing fans wanting to see tonight’s exciting Brook v Gavin fight card, they can tune in to watch it on Sky Box Office. The start time is at 10:40 p.m. BST on May 30th. Where is the fight location? The fight will be taking place at the O2 Arena in London, England.
As I mentioned previously, fans can see it on Sky Sports in the UK. Unfortunately, it’s not being televised in the United States. The Brook-Gavin fight card can be ordered by your phone or online, whichever you prefer. You can also order the fight by your Sky remote.
What a year it has been for Brook who having won the title in America with a fine win over Shawn Porter found himself fighting for his life just 2 weeks later following a horrific stabbing in Tenerife as the new champ indulged in some well deserved celebrations on the holiday island.
By Scott Gilfoid: IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (34-0, 23 KOs) made weight on Friday for his title defense against an outgunned #4 IBF Frankie Gavin (22-1, 13 KOs) for their fight on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London, UK. Brook weighed in at 146.25 pounds and looked like he hadn’t had to strip off too much water weight to make the 147lb limit.
By Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn believes that Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions are in awe of the card that he’s put together for the O2 Arena this Saturday on Sky Box Office in London, UK.
By Allan Fox: IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (34-0, 23 KOs) is hoping that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will take notice of him after his fight on Saturday night and give him a shot later this year in September in Mayweather’s last fight of his career.
By Scott Gilfoid: Frankie Gavin (22-1, 13 KOs) says he sees weakness in the game of IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (34-0, 23 KOs) that he thinks he can exploit this Saturday night in their fight at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
Gavin says Brook leans forward too much and he feels he can nail him with shots. Gavin may be right about that because Brook has never been hard to hit in any of his fights. He had to resort to holding Shawn Porter all night long in order to slow down his offense.
By Scott Gilfoid: Challenger Frankie Gavin (22-1, 13 KOs) has no chance of pulling off the upset this Saturday, says IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (24-0, 23 KOs), who will be facing the 29-year-old “Funtime” Gavin at the O2 Arena in London, England.
Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn was the one who thought it would be a good idea for Brook to fight Gavin, and instead of resisting the idea, Brook thought it was a great idea and readily agreed to the fight. Of course, this isn’t the fight that fans want to see.
By Scott Gilfoid: This Saturday night on May 30th, IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (34-0, 23 KOs) will be fighting what amounts to be little more than a stay busy fight for him in his title defense against #5 IBF Frankie Gavin (22-1, 13 KOs) at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
Gavin, 29, is technically a highly ranked contender at #4 by the International Boxing Federation, but he’s really been given a very generous ranking by the IBF. It’s a ranking that makes little sense when you factor in that Gavin was recently beaten by Leonard Bundu and arguably beaten by Bradley Skeete.
By Scott Gilfoid: It’s pretty much a given that #5 IBF Frankie Gavin (22-1, 13 KOs) has been selected as IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook’s next opponent on May 30th mainly because he fights in the same Matchroom Sport stable and that he isn’t considered a dangerous threat to beat Brook like someone like Keith Thurman would be.
That’s why it’s surprising to learn that the 29-year-old Gavin actually thinks he’s going to beat Brook when the two of them face each other at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
