Frankie Gavin

I thought Frankie was brilliant last night. I was sat pretty close and he was two or three steps ahead of McDonagh...at some points it almost looked like Frankie was waiting for McDonagh catch up! His body punching was fantastic too.

He did an absolute number on him.

Time for someone like Lynes next I think...he's ready now :bbb

 

Perspective please!!! Mcdonagh took the current british champ daws to a CLOSE decision. He took soon to be euro challenger scott lawton to a CLOSE decsion. He stops michael gomez in 5. Then comes Frankie gavin in his 6th pro fight (!) and frankie takes every round off him, 1st guy to do that. Aka he HAS done something that other mcdonagh opponents havent. Im not gettin carried away but as it stands Frankie has the skills, the temperament, the boxing brain to succeed domestically right now. Anything further than that, sure we're just speculating. Potential is sure as hell there though

 

Perfect opponent. The guy comes to fight even if he is being out classed. That gives Gavin the right sort of rounds. Gavin dominated by got in 6 quality rounds against a live opponent. McD is a sort of domestic Augustus.

Put Gavin in an 8 rounder or straight in there with Williams for the English title. One defence and then I think he is ready to take on Daws for the British. By 10 fights he would be more than ready.

Gavin is a pro fighter. He moves between the back foot and front foot easily, he can fight on the inside and he can fight hard for every minute. He is always looking for the ko which I love.

 

Shut it fanny

 

Another superb performance for Frankie. Been to 4 of his 6 fights and he is clearly improving every fight.

Get off his back. Some of you lot are so unreal its untrue. Back the lad FFS

Keep it up Frankie. Future world champion fo sho

 

you think he might win a world title, but this isn't accomplishing much as a pro?

your standards are high...

 

He looks a class act, very impressive, looks like hes been a pro for years. Looking forward to seeing how he does against better competition.

 

Who do you follow Fighting Weight...?

Where did you get your avatar pic from, it's awesome...:happy

 

What were Frankie Gavin and the other guy saying to each other in the ring, looked like they were having a right barney lol?

 

No disrespect mate, but do you know how stupid that sounds? He "wont achieve much as a pro" followed by "he might win a world title".
What I find odd is that you think Degale has looked better. Slapping his way through worse opposition rather than showing genuine improvements and sound technique as Gavin has.

 

i think he'll win a world title, i think he's good enough for that. a lot of people expect a lot more, even greatness level, and i don't think he'll achieve that much. i worded my origninal post wrong as i was rushing, and yes reading it, it did seem stupid, so sorry for all the confusion lads. i think he's good enough to win a world title, put it that way.

 

Was well impressed with his balance and with his foot movement punch placement.

One thing that I do like with Frankie is that he's a boxer. Most times Britain has a prospect they need to lead with their face and pay no attention to defence as they're outclassing stiffs.

The usual alternative is a Ingle swith hitter. Frankie looks to have something difference to that.

 

Frankie was great last night. Out of him and the other Warrens fighters he is the best of his olympians boxers that he has. Great preformace to go with against a decent fighter at his stage its a good win.

 

If DeGale trys that ducking below the waist shite against a decent opponent with a bit of power he will end up in hospital.
