Frankie Gavin out of the Eggington fight

[Crazyboy]

Frankie did go to that game. It is the sort of injury you could pick up in a kick off at football. Fighting spills into the road, or you're chasing some lads or getting chased...

No it isn't....that's rubbish.

Hearn is chasing Floyd and Manny but may settle for someone else if they're not up for it.

just being daft now mickey floyd is retired and pacman is recovering from surgery

[Black Sam Bellamy]

No credible ranked opponent will take the fight at this short notice.

can't believe a word that these fighters say before fights.

I think you're right - same goes for promoters and managers etc.

It is often a case before the fight of "best camp ever" and then after the fight "a lot of things have been going on/rubbish camp" etc.

To be fair hes put a photo up

I think he's put some shoe polish on his foot.

[TheLeprechaun]

Even if the injury is real, then that means all of the other stuff he's written about how great training was going was utter lies.

The revenge angle is there and dale was in training.Sam asked for a proper fight for his title and Dale is a warrior who can punch and will give his all.Not perfect but could have been a lot worse hope the fans enjoy what for me will be more of a fight than a boxing match now

Agree Jon definitely could have been worse and as you say the revenge/prizefight loss angle definitely plays a part.

Must say when first got told this name wasn't too thrilled but the fights grown on me these last day or so. All the lads I'm going with are still all up for going after hearing the opponent. Team Savage!

[jonp]

It hasnt got the prestige of the orignal fight but for a fan watching a fight and danger wise it defo brings more to the table.

Just read Hearn has said Eggington v Gavin may end up on December 12th.

Brum ripped off in favour of a pay per view London show again!!! Woudn't be surprised if Eddie ran over Frankie's foot as needs to fill a slot on his O2 card. fornicate the Midlands fans only cares about Pay Per View events now.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Still can't get my head around this 'run over my foot' thing. Would Andy Murray put himself in that position and then cry off Wimbeldon or would Joe Root get run over a fortnight before the Ashes ? Seriously unprofessional from Gavin.

Accidents happen, I don't see how it has anything to do with him being unprofessional.

Could turn out to be a cracker this, both lads like to fight

Have to admit if he does that he is being an absolute c**t towards boxing fans in the midlands especially after announcing an unsigned fight last time around.

The more I read about Sam Eggington the more I like him, he's got a great attitude and I really hope he does well.
