Frankie Gavin mandatory for EBU

Yep,hope it happens. Good fight too.

 

Agreed.

Leonard Bundu would not only be a step up for him but it could also act as a World title eliminator for the IBF belt too seeing as Gavin is ranked 8th and Bundu 3rd.

Would be a great fight to add to the Chisora-Fury undercard along with Suart Hall vs Paul Butler which i think might be made if Hall comes through his fight at weekend.

 

First fight of note. About ****ing time.

 

Hall wont fight butler unless he is mandated will fight haskins or mcdonald make some coin before butler whacks him

 

Finally some direction... Bundu is a good fighter,

 

Good news for Frankie and a clear path to a world title shot ahead.

 

I agree with this. His manager should move heaven and earth to get a Bundu fight. Not easy but one he can win,plus I think Bundu would come. Then one more win against possibly an American based carefully chosen contender and he might be well in the running. But Im not sure they'll risk Bundu,great fight as it is.

 

Very good fight for Frankie if and when he gets it, Frankie is the UK's most natural boxer imo

 

As a matter of interest,how would you see a Bundu fight going?

 

Agree with this.

I think Frankie is one of those boxers that fights to his level and the better opposition he faces will bring out the best in him.

He's never going to be the most pleasing or entertaining boxer to watch and some of his recent fights have not been the best style match-ups for him to look good as putting two counter punchers in against each other is always going to make for a dull affair.

Bundu is a perfect style for him though, someone who always comes forward throwing punches which will allow Frankie plenty of opportunities to counter off them and i'd be confident he'll stop Bundu too.

 

Great fight this..Good test for Frankie against an ultra fit come forward fighter with a bit of a dig...Now we get to see how Frankies perceived lack of power hinders him. He took Vassell to school in a fight most had as being close on paper. Cant wait to watch and see how it unfolds.

 

Frankie will get a World title shot next year if he remains unbeaten in his next few fights.

He is ranked 4 by the WBA, 8 by the IBF and 5 by the WBO and if he beats Bundu he'll probably go Top 3 in all those rankings.

WBC belt is out, he's not ranked in Top 15 and Mayweather is champion so can do as he likes especially in terms of picking PPV opponents.

WBA belt is held by Maidana so it may become vacant if he loses to Mayweather which is almost certainly going to happen. Although Frankie would probably have to fight Keith Thurman for the vacant title which is a very tough ask.

IBF belt is held by Shawn Porter who has the Malignaggi and Brook fights coming up but if he beats both then Frankie facing Porter next year could be a possibility seeing as he's ranked 8 by them and Bundu 3.

WBO belt is held by Bradley, if he beats Pac then there is a possibility of a Gavin fight next year as not many options for Timmy otherwise but if Pac wins then there's no chance of him fighting for the WBO title for the next 18 months.

 

Funtime!

 

said years back frankie would be one of our greatest , time waits for no man though
