    I'm just after watching Skeet v Lejarraga.

    Is Frankie mad for taking this fight and in Bilbao??

    That guy is a tank, like a Basque Ritson, and the venue was rocking as well, full of Bilbao ultras.

    I hope they're paying him well!

    It's mad isn't it. What a way to end your career.

    Hopefully he gets out of there with plenty of himself / his head in tact

    Hopefully he is being paid well. Never really took off his pro career , always seemed to never settle changing trainers all the time.

    think he be the first to admit he hasn't lived the life he should off and that has hampered his career and a career we all thought would of been a bit more successful

    Technically, I don’t really rate Lejarraga. He has the physical attributes though and will simply walk through anyone who hasn’t got a sting in his shot. Gavin hasn’t got the power to hurt him, he’ll get stopped in this fight.

    Frankie has been in some good fights. We all seem to agree that he underachieved but did he really, is Frankie another stalker In reality, someone who suits the arms more than pros.
    Even if he had of addressed his dieting etc would he really of done any better?

    I still remember being on holiday in France 2008 and Gavin getting a gold medal was a given according to all the press and then he failed to even make weight

    I always thought he was managed poorly but also in the wrong weight class.

    Lightweight or lightwelter max
