Frankie Gavin

Well we have to see him against better oppo but it's clear he's got class, bags of it

 

He gets hit too much.

 

The opponent was a step up!! Fact!! No one beats McDonugh abd takes every single round, Frankie didn't go all out for the stoppage, He boxed to orders and boxed beautifully at times, Peter couldn't nail him and lets face it he has given everyone else who he's fought a good fight but with Frankie he looked a million levels below him!!

Frankie is the best skilled prospect in the country and is fighting guys with good records already, I don't see how you can say people are over estimating Frankie when he stands alone as Britains ONLY world am champ?? You look at the best fighter in Britain and he comes in in straight lines and soaks up everything (Daws)..

I think you give McDonaugh no credit, The guys beat various decent fighters and has fought for and won a few titles yet Frankie has just completly shut him out and given him a boxing lesson for the first time in his career, Great achivement if you ask me for a guy in only his 6th pro outing..:good

 

frankie is good, you don't become the amateur he was without being good, but i haven't been as impressed with his pro performances as some of you guys on here, and i don't think gavin will accomplish as much as a pro either. he might win a world title, but i don't think he'll ever become the number one champion.

 

That's very hard to achieve BUT Frankie definitly can.. Too many skills not to.. He also has a great chin so there's nothing to worry about on that side of things, Just a bit more experince and he'll be there, These guys aren't even catching Frankie!!

 

they are catching him. frankie got caught a couple of times last night, he even had a mark under his eyes to prove it. like i said, i see different than you do.

 

Did you see the punchstats though? I'm not entirely sure I can remember properly, but I think he had been hit like 8 times after 3 rounds, and he certainly doesn't get hit THAT much.

Plus, didn't Frankie say the mark under his eye was due to a clash of heads?

Edit: I think McDonagh hit him with 8% of his punches, not 8 punches - but still impressive :deal

 

frankie could shut out daws an this ***** wouldn't be happy look at all his other posts about him the guy just doesn't like him!

 

he's not getting hit often, he's a good defensive boxer, but my post was due to a poster saying they're not catching him, and i'm saying they are, even if it's not frequently.

like i said, i wasn't as impressed as others, and i might be proven right in how i rate gavin, i also might be proven right. it's what makes boxing so great.

 

not true, i do like gavin, but i don't let that effect how i view his performances. i'm not a hater put it that way. a fighter as good as gavin is should stop that sort of opponent, he should be landing so many clean punches the ref would have no choice but to stop it, but that didn't happen.

 

The only time McDonagh has ever been stopped was due to a injury.

 

yes, but frankie is going to be so great, and greatness should show what ordinary fighters can't achieve quite early in a fighters career. this mcdonagh hasn't fought any prospect regarded as highly as frankie gavin. i expect to see why he's rated so highly by doing things that haven't been done before. mcdonaugh has lost every round previously before to guys who have lost like 65 fights before. mcdonaugh is not very good.

 

Exactly. Mac gives a good fight to everyone. This forum is getting full of people willing to call good fighters bums, crap, hopeless etc. If it isn't glass-jawed, it's shot, or crude. You'll very often see Hatton and Froch described as having no skill whatsoever. I mean, facking hell.

Frankie's looking great. He's not got Mr Bellew's KO power but that just means we'll have good value and long fights when he gets to world level. :happy Whereas when the Smashing Machine fights, we can't blink...

 

Floyd Mayweather didn't stop this guy in his 2nd fight:

I wonder if people thought Mayweather wouldn't be all that great because he didn't knock out this guy? :think

Plus I haven't seen every McDonagh card, but the ones that are displayed on Boxrec show he has never been completely shutout before. He has at least had a share or won rounds in his other fights.

 

Peter McDonagh is a great opponent for any prospect and a real credit to the sport. Gavin looked class and will hopefully be ready to fight Lynes, Barnes and the rest by the end of the year depending on how often he fights.
