Frankie Gavin's next opponent

Disappointing.

 

must be frustating

 

I'd have expected better.

Granted, it's a step up to 8 rounds but he'd benefit more with 6 against a better opponent.

Someone who can has already hammered Steve Saville and shut out Peter McDonagh convincingly shouldn't be facing this calibre of opponent next..... unless he's coming off a KO loss - and even then, it's pushing it.

 

wow doesnt describe it, major step down from his last fight

 

Why don't they just put him in with Jason Cook or somebody like that? Matching a world amateur champ against bums is completely futile.

 

Agreed. Completely pointless. What's he going to learn going in against a fighter of this standard?

 

Terrible opponent. I assume the guy has been brought in to get Frankie 8 rounds in preparation for an English title shot. I want to see Frankie fight for the English title in his next fight.

I like what Groves is doing. He has dilly dallied around for 8 fights now step it up. I used to condone 10 -15 build up fights but not any more and not for top amateurs. In this day and age with so much competition from the likes of the UFC guys need to step it up. It's better for them anyway.

 

Pathetic!!

Why not put him in with the likes of Nigel Wright, David Barnes and Barry Morrison? He is more than ready for the likes of them.

 

This is a disappointing fight,especially since he beat McDonagh last time.I think he could win a british title within a couple fights but he will not learn mutch from this.I hope he get some rounds in and i would like to see him in with someone like Steve Williams or Michael Grant next.

 

If they think this will get him rounds in they are probably mistaken also. He hasn't been KO'd but inspect his record, he's never fought anybody that can punch. Not that Gavin is a monstrous puncher but he hits harder than most of them and he has very good accuracy. Terrible, terrible fight.

He already got rounds in against that French dude anyway, the one where it was stopped in farcical circumstances and McDonagh.

 

I'd forgotten that :-(

£155 it cost me.

 

Completely ridiculous and the sort of pointless match that makes people think that it's about as competitive as WWF.

 

Is this gonna be another Warren card without competitive match ups? Gavin would benefit from fighting a Bami, Grant or Barnes to gauge his progression.

 

£400 it cost me...

£5 on 80/1 accumulator
