    Where the hell has Bundu been all this time!? Don't get me wrong he's know Sugar Shane Mosely but the guy has impressed me. How does everyone see him squaring up against the belt holders?

    Gavin in no way looked stronger in my opinion, he was bullied.

    Frankie was the stronger of the two when in close. More than a few occasions frankie threw bundu around. Not talking about power in punches or stamina etc.

    Frankie was the stronger of the two when in close clinching. More than a few occasions frankie threw bundu around. Not talking about power in punches or stamina etc. Agree he was bullied back onto the ropes but it was more down to not being able to keep bundu off than it being down to his strength

    Frankie would do himself a big favour if he teamed up with Adam Booth.

    Actually mentioned Adam Booth earlier. I reckon he'd suit the ingle style more. Floyd mayweatther senior would be a great shout even tho thats stretching a bit.

    Not a big fan of fighters moving trainers after a defeat especially when things were going well before they lost but he's not exactly been setting the world alight...dont think many other trainers out there in britain would bring frankie on too much. Personally dont think he'll ever hit hard enough to be a main player at world level. You've got to be able to hold fighters off. Reckon frankie would get steamrolled by most of the main players at 147.

    All three of them trainers not without fault but would play to frankie's strengths. The amatuer coach took him as far as he can.

    He needs to do a Khan and get to the US. Pick a trainer who is known for training slick fighters. I'm sure he will find a trainer easily considering hes a former world AM champ and hes world rated. Get over there tough it out. Hard sparring, more focus on his tekkers and positioning and maybe sort his conditioning out. He would be much better if he did it. But he wont haha

    100% agree, i reckon it's the only way he'll have a chance of progressing from here, maybe if he was a raw 24/25 but he's not, he's actually around what should be his peak & hasn't moved an inch forward in 2 years or not enough to notice,Bundu was a worthy winner tho.Any talk at the moment of Thurman, Brook or Khan is laughable (on last nights showing at least)

    He probably trains with his old amateur coach as he gets smoke blew up his arse and gets to do as he pleases but this un disciplined attitude costing him the most skillful talented boxer this country has seen for a long time wasted by no discipline if that trainer had anything about him he would be tellin frankie he's making light welter but instead he's being a yes man

    Not always a fan of Dwyer but thought he was pretty spot on with his post fight vid on Gavin-Bundu.
