Dont rate Daws at all to be fair......IF Frankie looks good against McDonagh (I think he will) then he'll have more than enough against Daws
Rhis should be a good fight. Frankie is a special talent and McDonagh isa a very worthy test for anyone.
this will go the distance , mcdonagh has only been stopped once in 29 fights and that was due to an arm injury a good step up for frankie , should be a good benchmark for him
Goddamn, I need to be at this event! this card looks awesome, I would sell a Kidney to go if Mitchell gets someone like Anthony Peterson, Rolando Reyes or John Murray
Wont be Reyes or Murray and do you see Top Rank sending a prospect of theirs to the UK. How does Moises Solis or Petr Petrov sound?
Remember this is a Frank Warren card if McDonagh takes a couple of unanswered punches the ref will be diving in to save him Frankie should win this, though it could be closer than some think
Regarding Frankie vs Daws in the future. Lenny's workrate seems to bother guys completely. I watched him in the gym for a year while i was training and he trained like every amateur fight was for a world title. He's a slow starter but a very solid boxer. Has the fundamentals and also the drive to win most domestic fights. He's not been the same since losing the title to Morrison and i believe that's work and also loss of ambition but maybe getting the title back might spur him on. So i think it would be about 6-12 months to early for Frankie imo. As for this fight this is a good step up, Mcdonagh will come to fight and can hang on in there and make Frankie work and give him some rounds. He lost to Lee Purdy in a southern area fight this year and gives many domestic guys a decent fight nothing special but decent enough for now.
This fight card is turning into a SICK one. McD will give Gavin something to think about while giving him rounds. Sometimes his awkward style will win but Gavin should have too much amateur experience to just fold to an awkward style.
