Why should Witter, as champion, take the short end of the stick? He's British champion, former world champ at a lower weight... Frankie as a pro is a nobody. Who's beaten nobody.

The only way he's going to get anywhere is to rip up that contract and insist that he's on every bill for the next 12 months, then start to make a proper move up the ranks.

If they aren't going to do that, he might as well give up and get a job.

He's a great lad and has ridiculous ability, but he couldn't have been handled worse. Some of his problems have been of his own doing, but where's the help been?
Perhaps he should read the posts by Rumpole on contracts.

Witter next in a one sided beating. :bag:

He would beat Kell Brook? oh my good god...........i used to like your posts.
Name me one opponent kell has beat who Gavin wouldn't beat more convincingly ?
That lad last Saturday would most likely come back; Frankie's a good lad nut my money would be on Jones; (if Jennings were to box again he'd cause probelms for Gavin as well).

Some of the most gifted boxers are upset by boxers they couldn't get up for; anyone Frankie fights from now on is looking to further their own career and prospects; he's not the bright shining ight now. The World Championships he did so well in were 5 years ago.

Gavin has been consistently below the high standard he set in the amateurs.
No one has ever denied his huge talent but so far he has really under achieved, he is not a young kid no more either.

I admit he needs to get managed a little better, but 25 or 26 is not old, he has four great years ahead of him at least !

I was really hoping that Gavin would be fighting for world titles in Birmingham by this time. I'm only 10 mins away so was looking forward to following a local lad on his way up but it's just never materialised. Bad management

I'm sure Warren would listen if Frankie said ''pay me half and put me on twice as often''.

To be fair to Frankie I know he'll fight absolutley anyone in the country at the weight - must be so frustrating for him.

I know FW likes to take his prospects all over the country, but i think its a shame you've not fought more in Brum with your fanbase mate

Definitely, there has always been a good showing of Gavin fans at the cards he has been on. If he was really pushed in Birmingham they would come out in their droves. I know i'd be making the short journey if it was local and it would be much easier to rope mates who are just casual fans to go more often if they could follow someones career
