Boxing Prospect wrote:Come on Garrido!
He's gassed now. He's already given his best in the first 2 rounds, and he lost those rounds too. Now he's losing the rounds clear, and looks fatigued. He's giving a good enough effort to make Gavin look pretty lackluster though, and it's definitely concerning (for Gavin's people at least) how easily Garrido is able to get inside on him.

Garrido was giving just about as good as he was getting in the first 2 rounds though, and he's still hanging in there.

The fact this is so competitive is a sad indictment of where Gavin is.

I mean it's not all that competitive, I have Gavin winning every round, but he's still failing to impress. This is the kinda guy you should stop if you have any serious intentions of being a top fighter in this sport.

If you were a promoter, would you bin off Gavin after this fight. For me, it's 1 weight issue too far.

Garrido gassed in the end, but Gavin didn't show anything to suggest he is going places again.

What was the exact score?

When's Eggington on? I'm watching BT card but might stick that fight on SkyGo if he's up shortly. Not really interested in the Nicola Adams fight.

Here in the U.S. the channel AWE lost it's signal before the official cards were read on the Gavin vs Garrido card, were all 3 cards 77-75?

Did I miss the post fight interview with Gavin or did he just leave the ring?

Ref disagreed by giving Garrido three rounds, same as me.

However, we can all agree that wasn't a rip-roaring success for Frankie

I could see a case for Garrido winning the first 2 rounds. I don't really see any way you could've seen a 3rd round for him, but ah well.

I think the refs score was generous to Garrido, but he definitely made his mark there and landed his share of shots in the fight.

Lackluster effort from Gavin, no doubt.

It was noticeab,e how much bigger Karl Yafai looked than his opponent when he won his WT. Not sure Gamal has that same physical presence at the weight.

Doesn't look 10lbs heavier than him tho, like Kal does with his opponents.


Good fight this so far.

Yafai would have been over already if he was in against a puncher.
