Why the **** does Warren feed us names vs bums. I'd prefer half the names on the bill but in exciting match ups. At this stage Gavin v Williams for the English Title over 10 rounds excites me. 2 in shape, undefeated and hungry guys fighting for a worthy title.
Disgusting match up. No doubt part of a PPV as well. We all know Frankie is keen to fight better opponents so what the f*ck is this all about??? Be very interesting to read his views on fighting this jester.
I wouldn't mind if Warren kept him more busy but he's only fighting five times a year, so each fight should be a progressing curve, in which he steadily steps in class each time. Some times these managers and promoters act like frightend little mice when matching there top prospects. :-(
Frankie was a world class amatur fighter and looks great so far as a pro so he has no need for such low level of opponent. No offence to the other kid because all boxers deserve respect but he is a way below the standard Frankie needs.
The most annoying thing is Frankie is going to look far better against somebody that comes to win. Somebody that has ambition to throw punches, thats when we'll see the full extent of Frankie's skills. This guy won't come to win, I doubt the guys stupid. 8 defeats and he's against a world amateur champ..come on.
Good point. Hopefully he'll still get a impressive KO on his record but that's unfortunately about the best that will come of this one. I mean why wait just under two months for an opponent of this quality? atsch
Has Frank got on to Birmingham City about taking this one to St Andrews? It shouldnt be stuck on an undercard. I've no doubt they'd fill it if marketed properly. But seriously, shite fight, isnt it all about learning at this stage? Whats he going to learn from putting away someone he's lightyears away from? Its like a team signing Messi, Rooney, Torres, Iniesta etc then telling them to learn to play as a team with a friendly against St Albans.
This is an utter disgrace, Frankie is well above fighting this kind of fighter in his 7 fight. To put it into perspective, my cousin who is a part-time pro and a lightweight fought this guy in his 3rd fight and beat him. No disrespect to my cousin hes a good solid pro but he is not in Frankies class, Frank Warren needs to stop making these joke fights soon or risk losing thousands of paying punters
100% correct. Frankie hasn't got the strength or power to plough through bums. He lets his hands go. He wants sneaky body shots, counter hooks, catching guys off balance. If someone shuts up shop on him it becomes very difficult.
These guys spend 1 fight getting used to no headgear, 1 fight getting used to a big crowd, 1 fight getting the rounds in at level 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 1 fight against a southpaw etc It's complete bull****. IF these guys train right then they will be ready.
****in bull**** opponent for Gavin. He should be fighting alot better opposition than this. The man had a **** load of amateur fights and was a world champion, he dosnt need to be fighting bums. Put him in there with someone who actually comes to win. Im sick of promoters putting former top amateurs in with complete no hopers to ''learn their trade''. Yes they need learn about the proffesional game but fighting bums isnt going to improve them.
The opponent for Frankie is even more annoying when he came out this week and said his amateur career was like having 15-20 professional fights.
