Frankie Gavin Excuses Thread

I’m yet to see these “****” performances. He’s won every single fight convincingly. Ok, he hasn’t been thrilling but if you know anyone that has suffered from depression you should know how hard it is to do anything, never mind do it well.

Pricks like you need a good kick up the arse.

 

As an amateur world champion and a fighter that recieved allot of attention from the press and tv companys more is expected off him.

 

So you have the problem with him. That’s all there is to it (and it’s not news to me). Treat him on his actual merits and he’s comprehensively beaten every one he’s faced. Woodhouse won three rounds at best.

Whilst I agree with you about Gavin. It does seem that you have a problem with Degale!

 

Hopefully Frankie will stop hangin around with the complete and utter wankers he associates himself with. Whenever i've spoken to him he's always been a sound lad but he's surrounded by low life morons and criminals. Hope he overcomes his depression because the lads been to hell and back from the stories i've been told

 

Hey, at least I admit it!

My view on him (outside of my hate-filled diatribes which are mostly for my own amusement) is pretty fair I’d say. He has physical talent but has appalling technique and distinct lack of skills.

I think it was Slip or Jpab who said about fighters winning fights on sheer athleticism until they get to the top level. That’s when their paucity of technique tends to show itself up and they either lose or look much more average.

On here, Gavin get criticised for dominant (though dull) performances. DeGale looks **** two fights in a row and nearly gets knocked on his arse and people scream the positives about “well, he’s shown he can grit it out!”

At what point do people actually acknowledge what’s right in front of them? It’s a bizarre double-standard, quite honestly.

 

if you don't like double standards and hypocricy i would avoid boxing forums.

 

Yeah, that's the best way to deal with something you disagree with, ignore it!

 

Good post

 

Put me in a room with Billy Nelson, he will come out of it looking like one of Mike Tysons dates.

 

I have suffered from depression, can get really bad and take time to recover from. If he needs meds it can take a while for the body to adjust, but it gets better. The mental strength you get from overcoming depression can help you later on in life. Wishing him all the best.

 

Spot on.

It's not about keeping bad company when you have the potential to become a world class Boxer!

 

I agree wholeheartedly with DFT. These '**** performances' is a complete myth. Woodhouse never run him close at all. The lad has won every fight he has been in by wide margins, WITHOUT having his mind fully focused on the sport. FFS what more do people want from him? Rob saying more is expected from him is complete and utter ****.

the onloy problem I have is that he should have been out more.

 

a typical ESB thread if ive ever seen one.

well done
