    Would be quality if true.

    Woodhouse would really come to win.... not like Mutley who was wank on the night.

    Can't see Curtis winning but he'd give it his all.

    Exactly and that's what Frankie needs. So far every fight feels like same pattern. Frankie in his sitting low crouched stance and stalking his opponent while they move on back foot but stay right in front of him. Partly done to Frankie's good work but also guys accepting fate and going into survival mode. Makes Frankie's life harder and ruins his appeal to fans. Feel sorry for him i bet he love guys to throw punches at him :lol:.

    Someone like Woodhouse or Jennings who either go forward or in Jennings case will use lot of lateral movement and fundamentally sound boxing which will make Frankie have to think about defence as well as develop other aspects of his skillset.

    Frankie needs to decide if he wants to fight at 140 or 147?/ Why doesn't he fight Lenny Daws in a british title eliminator or Steve Williams for commonwealth belt.

    I don't get how you can say this is a good fight. Frankie is way beyond this level. Woodhouse is a step down from Mutley & Lomax. They were at least area level fighters.

    Lee McAllister is fighting for the vacant Commonwealth title next month at 147.

    This fight is so frustrating. It will be good for a few rounds if Woodhouse comes to win because it will give Gavin a decent run out but not a career progression for Gavin.

    Lomax was a good opponent yes, and Frankie dealt with him impressively.

    But Mutley was ****, Woodhouse would have mullered him on the night.... just because he's got a couple of L's on his slate doesn't mean he's no good.

    It's a different kind of test, he's tough, can punch a bit and will try and win - the latter two would be firsts for Gavin in his pro career thus far.

    Plus he's getting eight weeks notice, so there's no excuses.
