franklin lawrence dropped gavern in rounds 1 & 6 which forced gavern to retire in the 7th.this is a good win.gavern is tough & had only been stopped by boytsov previously.nice win for lawrence.

lawrence now has wins over ahunanya,firtha,whitaker,estrada & gavern.he knocked out jason estrada which had never been done & as i said before forced gavern to retire which isnt easy to do either.his loses are vs oliver mccall & he lost because of injury to bermane stiverne.he is 35 & onlt has 19 fights so its now or never...
