Gavin Gwynne vs. Emiliano Masrsili | TNT Sports - 1 December 2023

[skanksta]

yup, I keep thinking.... "He's FORTY-SEVEN"

[margaret thatcher]

lol, did gav really just ask the ref to make EM stop moving

[handsofstone]

Are my eyes playing on tricks on me?

[margaret thatcher]

that is called boxing and moving gav, it's not illegal

[jwfg]

in a weird way this is hilarious to watch

I watched a fair bit of Masrsili this week. This is exactly what I was expecting.

i knew he was good, but didnt think he could box like this for this long at his age. hell he was old a decade ago when he bashed up derry

I've got it 4-2 to Emiliano.

[margaret thatcher]

that round needs to be clipped as 'grandpa school young football thug' or something

[jwfg]

4-3

[handsofstone]

Marsili a lovely little inside fighter as well

[tsalmon]

I'm getting Willie Pep vibes from this old bugger.

[jwfg]

Marsili a lovely little inside fighter as well

Yeah, he's very skilled. I don't think Gavin's doing anywhere near as bad as Paul Dempsey says he is.

[margaret thatcher]

marsili is cut! now gav is cut right after!

[skanksta]

What a great fight and sooo unlucky from the gladiator from Ancient Rome.

All hail Marsili !

[margaret thatcher]

ah crap, marsili retires, think they are focusing on shoulder

[margaret thatcher]

he had finished the round strong too

[rd350lc]

Gwyne got out of jail there .
What a performance from the old geezer .

[margaret thatcher]

that was great, congrats gav but marsili was the star of the fight for me

[The Gratest]

A shame to finally lose like that after all those fights and years. Ahead on 2 cards.

[skanksta]

Give him a rematch when his shoulder heals and he's 49 !

makes you wonder what he coulda done at a higher level in his prime. won several euro title fights but never pressed beyond there (ibo vs derry doesnt count) to box that well at almost 50 is crazy.

[skanksta]

In all the excitement I forgot I bet on Gwynne KO 5-8 ! and won !!

Poor old Marsili, he's won a ton of fans @ least.

[JamesPhilips]

Carl Frampton is real

[margaret thatcher]

granpa could've outhustled nathan gorman tonight

[handsofstone]

Bummer, Marsili retires on his stool after 8 with an injured shoulder, I didn't even notice did he stop throwing the jab ? What an effort though I had him up by a couple , I thought Gwynne would walk him down and get rid in about 5/6, he did try to walk him down but Marsili moved constantly until it it ended , a couple of times he traded with Gwynne and looked more than fine, rocked him with a big left in the 1st, mostly though he was up on his toes throwing bursts and generally outboxing Gwynne who couldn't really get to grips, couldn't put any consistent work together, odd shots here and here, you kept waiting on Marsili slowing but he never did, insane for a 47 year old, Gwynne probably had best round in the 8th, Marsili still moving but taking more shots, tide might have been turning, would love a rematch

[JxhDel.]

So sorry for Marsili, IMHO he was two points up... but age and fatigue are some darn enemies

I read he was due to fight for the WBC title in 2016 but had to withdraw through illness.
