Frankie Gavin staying at 147lbs

agreed

 

Gavin has no business at 147.

 

suppose you do though

 

for **** sake that never been and never will be my point. its not about being body beautiful. look a the size of his arm, legs and neck. also his waist size.

Hatton would have a 40inch chest and 30inch waist at 140lbs. Gavins a 34waist-36chest by the looks of it last fight. its just not a fighters body.

also gavin has admitted to his diet being ****.

 

Well, I guess Frankie should just pack it in then! Either way, he’s now working with a nutritionist and a trainer who is massive on the physical preparation of the sport. Give it a rest and just wait till we see him. If he looks weedy and crap and underperforms then you can say “I told you so”.

 

I was told that a year ago and he looked weedy and crap and underperformed in his last few fights.

 

Winning one fight 12-0 and another 10-2 is under-performing, is it? Frankie looked fine, a bit bored and lethargic, but even then he completely bamboozled two decent operators.

 

all well and good if your a fighter looking to win a british title one day.

 

Have you got a big bet laid on him winning a world title?

 

Pity ya never got to defend it. Best of luck at 147

 

It's more than old enough for his body to have stopped maturing, he's not gonna suddenly start breakin' jaws just because he now hits a tyre with a sledgehammer in training.

I wish the guy the best, he's done a couple of things that haven't sat too well with me but I'm not hating on the kid. I just think there's a lot of better welters out there than him.

 

i noted that jimmy tibbs let saunders box at middle, when most thought it to heavy, though now he looks very solid ,strong , and punching hard, maybe tibbs see's the fairly tall for his weight gavin,getting more solid in his build, as this very serious weightmaking can be a harder fight than the scheduled bout. The doubt could be with gavins punch power at higher weight?.

 

I bet the sparring with Kev has helped sharpened you up!

 

Spot on!

 

Frankie's 5ft 9, but his head appears to be huge and his body looks quite small. Definitely a LWW, not a WW.
