I think Frankie will to be too clever for him, he judges the distance very well and will make Eggington miss. Eggington has massively improved in a short period of time, you forget how young he is also... but he seems to struggle against counter punchers and he looked out of idea's against Skeete.
hate to say it but at ww gavin is border euro level its been a shame as I had tipped him for big things when he turned over skills pay bills and I have no doubt frankies bills are paid but them skills never got him to where he could have been ad he a little more dedication
I think Sam might take this one actually. Can't remember the last time I was impressed with Gavin (thought he lost to Skeete) and I just wonder if he can really motivate himself to the same degree now
Pressures on Frankie, Eggington started out to be a journeyman and even if he loses can go again at domestic level, I don't think Frankie had aspirations of being a domestic level fighter when he turned over
^ this if he don't impress he could find himself as the you beat that man you get british / euro shot and he is way more than that gatekeeper status but This content is protected
If Eggington can make this rough and physical id make him favourite Franky has 0 power good skills but he's never been in the peak of fitness. He struggled against Woodhouse at times and I'm not sure his heart is really in it
Think it will be a similar Gavin to the one that fought Denton vassall, which will be more than enough to win.
If Gavin was dedicated to his sport, he wouldn't be fighting at welterweight. He could make 140 easily. And I know not all fighters can get that ripped and toned look, but Gavin has very little muscle definition at all. I think he assumed being a world amateur champion would lead to great things when he turned over but when he found the pro game way tougher than he imagined, rather than knuckle down and put in the hard yards allowed himself to drift through his career. Sam is the opposite: a boxer with limited talent but who works his nuts off to make the most of it. It's on that basis, I'll think he'll make the fight attritional and I wouldn't be surprised by a late stoppage. Bottom line is, when it comes to boxing, Gavin doesn't want it enough.
Never been impressed with Frankie Gavin, thought he lost to Skeete and he gave a pretty poor showing against Brook, Eggington might be catching him at the right time tbh, although Eggington didn't look too good against Skeete. Not really a fight I'm looking forward to tbh, definitely not headline worthy.
