Franki Gavin boring fight

[fasteddie]

Frankie has had a bit of flu for people thinking he wasn't his best! People should realize what being sick and making weight is really like! Frankie done a professional job last night and showed how great his fitness was by walking the 12 rounds! Well Done

think its pretty easy to walk 12 rounds when you got no one throwing punches back at you tony

[fasteddie]

my mum always told me when i was a young pup that my big mouth was gunna get me in trouble looks like she was right just had confirmation im fighting frankie gavin for his wbo intercontinental title july 16th at the liverpool echo arena lets settle this beef once and for all may the best man win

excellent,in my neck of the woods too,ill be there to watch this just dont stink the place out like last weeks farce,but i know you will throw double the amount of punches old mutley threw

FFS.

I know Curtis is a Boxrec fighter but come on... this is a shite match-up. Curtis hasn't beaten ANYONE of note and has lost to two fighters with losing records. I hate boxing sometimes. Peeps will get excited about this pre-fight, then moan like fornicate when Gavin dominates him.

It's surely gonna prove better than the Muttley fight though Dioufy?

....or he was just trying to sell the idea of the fight to Theophane, i.e. I earn more, so fight me and you'll earn more. Perhaps I'm naive, but I honestly didn't take it as bragging. Ashley and Frankie certainly seemed alright when they were interviewed together after the the Mutley fight.

I think you are being extremely naive, it's not just what he said, the way he said it was pretty arrogant imho.

That's isnt necessarily a good thing.

Mark my words, Frankie Gavin is THE best prospect in this country! I've always said it and it will not change!! Kid is special, you just watch him when he starts to face fighters who wAnna win and not survive! I'll be first to admit that fighting guys who are trying to survive is a nightmare!

I've experienced it enough times :-( also he still has to diet to make 147 or 140!! It's tough making weight and even tougher doing it while your under the weather :-( once again he deserves props and not criticism as he'd of been slated had he pulled out!!

i wouldnt of thought he would have to diet that much to make 147 tony

to be honest i thought it was abit tasteless bringing the money into it,if i was a good pro with a good future ahead of me like frankie, the money wouldnt be an issue at all and knowing the money he is on maybe it has gone to his head or maybe he got abit of degale syndrome cause degale said the same thing to groves in the final presser "i'm earning more than you for this fight" wtf has this got to do with it? its not like your both floyd mayweather "i fight for pay checks" get established first ffs.

To be fair, some people could do sit ups etc for years and diet and sauna and they would still not be ripped. Frankie was fit enough (sick) to go 12 rounds and it weren't his fault Muttley didn't give it a go.

I like how Curtis comes across on here; he was straight back on after losing and he takes comments in his stride. As a boxer though, he's as good as Frankie Gavin is a central midfielder. After this I hope that they get to play each other in a match so that they both might get some mutual respect.

Off Dave Coldwells twitter earlier . . .

Another big fight for one of my boxers: Curtis Woodhouse to fight Frankie Gavin at Liverpool July 16th for WBO inter-cont. Title.

[palooka]

Not wanting to be a shit stirrer; isn't Dave Coldwell a part of Hayemaker? If so he may have access to very good sparring and advice. Hayemaker would surely like another result over Mr W arren.

love this site for inside info

curtis is welterweight ok for you??ive heard you train hard & are very dedicated so you get down to l.welter.can you still make l.welter??or is welter much better for you.or is it gonna be a case of two blown up l.welters facing off??

[curtis wood]

i can do light welter if given plenty of notice this fight between me and frankie has been made at 10st 4lbs so i think it will suit us both no problems ive got 7 weeks notice so the weight wont be a problem ive got no excuses ive been given plenty of notice its on neutral ground so no arguments from me

Fair enough but I'm sticking to my opinion on this one. I think it would take a lot to get Theophane to fight Frankie and I still think he just wanted to make it happen. He's just not the 'big time Charlie' type.

[Gray-Fox]

Gavin doesn't need to look good right now, all he needs to do is keep winning. The fickle boxing public won't ever remember this fight when he's a champion.

I think Gavin is a retarded arse btw, but as a boxer he's talented.

I strongly disagree; Frankie is a decent sort and much like any other man who packed in school at 16, he won't be a rocket scientist but who is? He knew he were to box for a living so didn't apply himself as much as he could but there is no way at all that he is retarded.

He does bite back sometimes but is not a nasty lad; he weren't full on last bout but will want to make a statement next time out no doubt; plus, he takes the time and effort to 'speak' to people on this forum he would not normally interact with.

He is a young man and he will make mistakes in his behaviour etc but his heart is in the right place and who is without sin etc etc.

[Frankie Gavin]

Well it's confirmed now so were see an I wasn't being arrogant I was stating a fact he will earn more fighting me than anyone else in Britain but people can take it how they want an it's upto people how they take me an I admit I was terrible last week just couldn't up the pace or nothing felt terrible in there an not a lot was coming back so had to look for openings also I did 12 rounds but at a slow pace but sure will be on top of my game come July 16 th good luck Curtis hope ur training goes well who knows might even shake hands after the fight

I really agree I like Curtis and how he tries and I admire how he sacked a very well paid job to do what he wanted to do. He's done well to chase his dreams, more than most ever do or have the balls to do. He's shouted out for a bout with Frankie who is a gifted boxer.

I also admire Frankie; after all the adulation he could be so far up his arse that no one could reach him (see J. DeGale, A. Harrison etc etc).

After all the slagging off it would be nice if they did have a game of football; then Frankie could see that Curtis was a gifted footballer and Curtis could accept that Frankie was a gifted boxer. That would be good.
