Nothing from Mark Tibbs yet though.

Aha, cheers.

I just had a look. Ron Lewis said he spoke to Frankie at 8pm last night and all was ok then. Wonder what's going on?

I switched off after a few rounds of the Norton-Williams fight&i never do that.
I see the Heffron-Johnson fight is off this bill aswell

If it were a Sky show, allegedly would be forced to pull together a credible card. There is no such quality check on allegedly tv.

Matthew Hall's exciting to watch but for a comeback fight I can't see him fighting an overly tough opponent and the rest of the bill is just novices. Personally I'd watch two debutants from Papau New Guinea fighting in a cave in Port Moresby if it was on t.v. But this is hardly going to bring in new followers to boxing.

Really? Which Sky have you been watching over the years.

Apparently Gavin has just walked away, said he's not fighting and Wazza doesn't know what's going on.
I think Heffron is on, against one of Witter's old opponents.
It's a bit like Danny Williams all those years ago in Bolton.

[JamesH]

I'm concerned for Frankie, this is unusual and must be related to his personal issues. Hope he's ok.

[whiskey]

Hope the lad's okay.

He seemed fine the other day in interviews.

[sweetscience]

hos head must be battered.... feel for the guy

needs some serious timeout !

[Tommy Gunn13]

He needs sometime away from the game completely to sort his head out

[Deno1986]

Dean Byrne is stepping in to replace Gavin according to @loveirishboxing (boxing-ireland.com)

The card was poor before the last two days pull outs.

Hope its not anything mega serious..... :( i genuinely mean that.........

HOWEVER - If he wasn't in shape mentally OR Physically he shouldn't even have been involved in the fight. END OF STORY.

Sorry, but i hate this bollox, feel sorry for him blah blah.....god the lad has everything on a plate but won't take advantage of it. We ALL have personal issues in life, and we all deal with them. Professional sportsman or bricklayer i don't care we all get on with life.

I'm not being nasty here, in fact if he is ill/ in a bad place then i hope he is ok, but ffs don't even sign up in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else feel like me?

I'm sure some people will share your feelings, some people had ran out of patience before this incident. All I can say is that he wouldn't have signed up and spent the last week doing interviews about this fight if he didn't think he was going to do it. He even came on here to comment on the bout.

[cmck2009]

must b goin to the states

[twenty six]

With you all the way Crazyboy.
Poor old Wazza must be seething.
Sorry if its an unpopular comment, but my sympathy is for the fans who shelled out to see GAVIN fight.
He can walk away, the fans can't. No rebates for them.

Very good point.
