Although I don't think its a step us I think it will tell us a little about Frankie's mindset, I think he has everything you need to get to the top but I would like to see him turn it up even
further when he has people in trouble, a couple of times I think the fight has gone on a couple of rounds too long when he has them ready to go, I think Frankie needs to up it when
the guy is going personally, because one day if they can hang about it might come back to haunt him, just a view.
Best of luck tonight to him and really hope its Theophane next as I think he wins that fairly comfortably as well.

Are you staying at welter now then Frankie?
or is it just if the right fight fights come up
maybe the winner of upcoming Prizefighter would be good match for your fight after this if you are?

funtime certainly has the potential to be as good as any of our up and coming stars,and his performance against lomax was exceptional! perhaps he'S just not seen as charismatic and fashionable as some of the others in the promoters eyes.never the less his talent will shine through,world champ in the making!

The guy just doesn't have the tools to go even near the top. If he doesn't have the pop to hurt the scrubs he's been facing with single shots, how is he going to put any sort of dent in the top guys? Any world class fighter will simply walk through him or constantly put him in long, tough wars of attrition since he doesn't have the pop to get him out of jail. Gavin's chin or defence haven't been tested yet, but he better be a Pernell Whitaker in that department to compensate for his clear lack of world class offense. something tells me he isn't though...
Face it people, the guy has shown absolutely nothing as a pro to warrant this ridiculous hype!

Stupid to hype Frankie so much , doesnt need any added pressure , let him learn his trade , no matter what he says on here he knows himself he wouldnt beat Kell Brook , but hes a boxer , hes hardly going to write on a public forum that he doesnt believe he would beat him , if he says it off the cuff he maybe believes it but if he really thought about it he in my opinion would know hes not quite ready yet , this is no criticism of Frankie who i think is a fantastic prospect but just give him time , he will reach his level one day but no need to add extra pressure of saying what he can possibly end up doing in future .

if we are going to write our opinion on a boxers futre i think some how a boxing forum is the place to do it, no ones saying (frankie included) he would beat brook tomorrow, but maybe a year or so down the line ! have a nice day

degale needs these big fights early as frank knows he hasent got world class ability !
your see my friend.

i noticed gavin went very quiet when kell asked for a shot at the WBO inter-continental (which he got stripped of before gavin got his shot)
how would you rate gavin's chances against kell?
as frankie said himself "kell is quality", but i still think frankie would be to good for him this time next year !
Why would Frankie have to wait until he's nearly 27?

Poor performance last night by Funtime, though he got the important win and dominated pretty much every second of the bout...just he looked lacking (and the could he had explains it).
