Gavin vs Woodhouse spoiler

WAS YOU THERE THEN ? YOU BROUGHT A TICKET ? I'M SURE FRANKIE AND OTHER BOXER'S WON'T GO SHORT IF VINDICTIVE PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF SAVED YOUR 50 QUID TICKET MONEY AND DID'NT COME TO THE SHOW'S SO YOU COULD KEEP YOUR NEGATIVE TALK TO YOUR SELF'S, THEY WOULD ALL BE BETTER OFF IN FACT:good

 

You been drinking??

I never made comment on his performance so your rant is pretty much moot...Rather I commented on his rather lame statement that he couldn't make the contracted 144lbs, thats unprofessional and shows a **** poor attitude. I wasn't at the event but over the years I have paid in to more than my fair share and of course I subscribe to Sky which probably pays more of a proportion of Mr Gavins wages than the gate money....did you buy a ticket BTW? :finger

 

Hard to say too much based on HL's, Frankie got hit more than normal, but that generally happens when an orthodox fighter successful pressurizes a southpaw imo, that said, what I would look at, if I were Gavin or Farnell, is that Frankie got his with the left hook over the shoulder, now I've seen a video of him sparring on youtube, where he's looked open to that punch, so maybe that is something they can look at?


If I had a hold of Gavin, I would tell him to stop pointing his lead toe as much, stop fighting with his shoulders slightly squared up, cause I think its torquing his body in an unnatural position, its as though he keeps his lower body side on, but squares up his torso, but that's an uncompromising position to be in imo, which might be part of the reason he's getting hit with certain punches at times.

I believe posture is everything if your ever gonna give yourself the opportunity to be a defensively sound fighter, and whilst Frankie is an excellent counter puncher, I do worry about his defense moving foward, because of his posture.

Take George Groves, he could never be sound defensively, simply cause he doesn't have sound fundamentals, which is why he's not that coordinated imo, now I aint saying Gavin is anything like Groves, but just giving an example of how posture can play a part.

Look at Miguel Cotto, why do you think he got hit so much against Margo? Cause he used to lean his head over his lead foot and fight square on, now what does this do? it brings your head closer to any potential punch, it makes it harder for you to avoid the punch, as you cant transfer your weight quick enough to avoid it, as its all on the lead leg, and because of the way Cotto holds his hands, glued to the side of his head, it makes him a sucker for the uppercut, and because he fights so square, it gives the opponent both sides of his body, now this is part of the reason Margo was able to beat him up, cause Cotto was not defensively good enough to take away Margo's target area, thus not being able to negate Margo's size advantage.


Just to reiterate though, the above doesn't mean Gavin wont still be an excellent fighter, potentially a world champ one day, but it might have an impact on how much he maximizes his potential.

 

daddy played with you to much imo and my friend is so far up frankies ass its unreal surrounded by yes men and there is another person on here who i know who is so far up crollas is untrue , the worst thing boxers can do is surround them selves with these yes men take a look what happend to naz , hatton ,enzo mac boxers need to be hungry imho in stead of having things handed to them on a plate and your mixing up negative talk with the honesty, yes men dont appreciate this a bit like your self :hey:yep :finger

 

just a quick rant my fellow eastside friends instead of slating frankie gavin and saying how crap he was the other night i think i might have had a bit to do with that! you cant all come on here before the fight saying im rubbish and this will be a mismatch then when i lose in a very close fight by a split decision say im still rubbish and it was down to how bad frankie was thats not fair i dont want you all to say im the greatest fighter the world has ever seen just give me a fair crack of the whip p.s frankie and his team are all good fellas had a good crack with them after the fight wish him and his team all the best in the future

 

Gooners, are you a trainer or boxer because you seem to like telling top trainers and top fighters what to do a lot!!

 

Good post Curtis I'm Arnies bro do the corner with him you fought a brilliant fight, alot better than most thought you could you defo have a decent future in boxing!

 

well said mate. I think Frankies been way overrated. I think either of you would be a good opponent for Lee Mcallisters CW belt.

 

He should be he's a very good technical analyst same as Slip is.

 

We only saw highlights but tbh you had the most highlights in the clips mate. You done brilliant and proved your worth and maybe the reason why Frankie goes onto big things. Like Thaxton was to Hatton in a way you could of been his gutcheck as the yanks call it. To lose on a split decision is sign of your development. Now hopefully you can capture yourself a British Title down the line cos your quite clearly good enough to.

 

Frankie is not overrated m8 he will make it right to the top! Curtis just fought a top top fight and proved how much he's come on!

 

hi waterboy good scrap sat night thought i had frankie at one stage but he showed lots of heart to go with his skill no doubt he will go far

 

Do you want exposing......coz i know who you are M.R?

How am i up his ass? Please explain your comments......because i go to his fights. Want to see him do well, no arrogance wotsover about him, thats why ive alot of time for him. I don't attach myself to any1 coz they are a boxer, thats the other person you are talking about. I know alot of Crollas mates through other things so before you make that comment, get your facts right.

Are you only bitter coz you went against Crolla in both of his English and British shots, i know you don't like getting decisions wrong. Theres more to boxing than Manny Pac, you were a doubter and you were proved wrong.

 

Its always easy saying it when they've never been in a ring and behind a computer screen!!

 

Bottom line is fg shoulda taken care of cw ,with fg non punching power hes gonna struggle and if he cant make 140lb hes ****ed ,he would get mulled by the real top boys at 147lb.
