Round-By-Round - Sam Eggington vs. Frankie Gavin - October 22nd 2016

[Sids]

I like how the room goes silent when Frankie gets on the scales.

[wesshaw1985]

card is starting in 10mins at 8pm on Sky Sports 2...

[Neil Gee]

I'm hoping Eggy can do this, though in terms of natural talent he's a long way behind Gavin.

I cant see it being any different from the Skeete/Eggington fight but the weight issue has thrown a spanner in the works for me, if hes had a bad cut he'll tire toward the end of the fight, Eggington could swarm him in the later rounds.
Tough one to call...

[freddydoesdallas]

8/13 for Gavin now, 13/10 Egginton

Might end up having a little play on Egginton rounds 10-12 at 12s

[Neil Gee]

Davis might have got himself a live one here in Paul Economides

[Neil Gee]

Davis is edging the rounds for me but Economides is disputing everything.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Its a messy fight going into rd 5

[Boxing Prospect]

Very messy, plenty of punches from both but it's just messy

[Neil Gee]

I've got Davis 4 rounds up though that score belies a very tight contest.

It is very hard to score Imo. Think Davis is winning though depends what you like

[Neil Gee]

7th is the first round I give clearly to Economides. Is the tide turning?

[Boxing Prospect]

Can't argue about the competitiveness here, just a shame the styles haven't quite gelled and it's been messy as a result. Davies looks like he's struggling with the pace. Shame neither guy could break an egg as well

Liked Davies in the first half because he was the one forcing it, but now it's Economides forcing it, but 8th was hellishly difficult to score.

[Neil Gee]

Davies get the 9th and the win imo (barring being knocked down in the last) I've given him 6 out of 9.

[Neil Gee]

Last round to Economides. 6-4 Davies.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Good battle better than the usual one sided mismatches! Thought Davis won that by at least 3 or 4

[ThereByTheGrace]

96 -94 x 3 for Davis official

[Boxing Prospect]

Good officiating!

[Neil Gee]

Heartbreaker for Economides. He wanted that so badly. I don't think Sean Davies is a world beater but it was a good learning fight for the prospect.

[no1man]

No rbr but blackledge put down heavy in the first by elvis the journeyman

[Boxing Prospect]

Can't help but want Tellez to mess up Yafai's plans here as this is a fornicating farcical contest.

[Boxing Prospect]

...they thought Arroyo was going to fight 6 weeks after his mandatory? O_o

Any updates on that card would be much appreciated. Watching the Sky cad on a ferry so can't switch between.

[Andrew]

Like the majority of Yafais resume this is a waste of time. When he turned over myself and many others thought he was the absolute bollocks. How he wasn't fast tracked especially at a lower weight is just poor.

When he fights a world champion I think he may get exposed quite badly.
