That is a pathetic comment!! Not only did Frankie win it he beat the best P4P am on the planet!! Alexy Tishenko was unbeaten in 3 years was Olympic Champion,World Champion & European champion!! Frankie beat him by 9 points!! How can anyone question that?? I personally think it's the best Am result that any brit has ever achieved!! Who has a better Am result to anyone's knowledge??
Give Frankie and Arnie a chance guys.. Arnie ain't trying to change him he's just trying to add things to him!! Let's not forget Frankie has had to attack in his 2 pro fights and that's not his strong point!! When someone comes to attack him you'll see the best of Frankie, He's hardest kid I've ever seen to hit!!
Remember he's our ONLY EVER WORLD AM CHAMP!!..Let's remember who's tried to win 1 too and failed..The kid is special and should be given time to adapt..
Poor sod can't win, first fight gets slagged for being negative, next fight wins in the first gets slagged for being 'too open'
Typical StuJones post!!!
PS. Travis Dickinson is a better prospect than any of the olympians
Dickinson has a lot of talent (beat Groves twice I think), but it is difficult to call him a better prospect than the Olympians. The Olympians have shown they have the dedication to go right to the top - Dickinson already dropped out of the sport for two years once already.
All the opponents last night were fodder so it;s hard to judge them at all, but Saunders looks to have a nice style. I agree with people ayaing Degale still looks a bit amateurish, when he went on the offensive he looked ok but very open as mentioned.
Anyone think the Czech guy had the longest neck in the world?

I don't think he looked open, he just opened up to press his advantage and it worked. Hardly looked open in his first fight, did he?

I was impressed with Degale in the first fight.... can understand the criticisms, but I thought it was a decent showing.
Can understand why he fought like he did on Friday, just think when he settles he will fight more like he did in fight 1, which will be better in the long term.
Thought De Gale did well .
The oppo was not much , but ol Big Ead seems to have wound his neck in and came across a bit more humble than on previous occasions.
Let ya fists do the talking M8 cos ya defo have the skills and potential to go all the way.
Gonna be a tough division but im sure he will be matched correctly .

However last night all be it against a puching bag (a punching bag has more head movement) i thought he showed some good stuff and made me take notice again. I have also noticed he has been out of the press a lot more and i was happy to hear him say "he wants to let his fists do the talking". Ok it is early days but this was much better than the poor stuff we saw in his first outing and although i rate Groves, Sutherland, jeffries and maybe even Dickinson above him at the moment but he way still make a good pro and prove me wrong, which i hope he does. what do we think?
just want to say i always find it disappointing when the crowd boo a fighter but i guess you pay your money so you can do what you want.
