Is Gavin continuing at 147? He's looked poor up at welter previously and would possibly be better off getting down to Light welter.

I haven't heard what weight its at but i'd guess 147 would be the most probable. I wouldn't say its a poor fight by any means though compared to some of the drivel thats about.

Agreed. As a comeback. its not at all bad. I just hope that he keeps busy. All of the 2008 Olympians have been far too inactive - DeGale, Price, Joe Murray, Gavin have fought too little while Saunders and Jeffries have suffered with injuries. And whatever happened to Bradley Saunders? I thought he'd signed with Warren back in November but have heard nothing since?

A hugely talented but destined to be forgotten generation? Should certainly be some lessons to be learned for this years batch of hopefuls.

I think Bradley Saunders is making his debut on Feb 10th at York Hall

Great news for both men since Frankie will be looking to put on a great display following his lay off and Cook is ready to rock and roll following the understandable withdrawl of Woodhouse!

Is this fight still on? Rumours that its off.

Funtime has realised it will be no fun fighting someone as dangerous as Cookie so he has backed out.
Spurious claims of not having enough money.

Why do people waste time talking about Gavin anymore ?
Posts on 13th great training camp - no problems anymore.
26th pulled out.
Coco - is it any wonder he's no money ? Full time pro who just isn't working.

And yet you waste yours?

If Frankie was from Sheffield you'd be up his hole like a rat up a drain pipe so give it a rest.

The only one giving it a rest is Gavin himself - and a very long one at that.

Lets hope it happens.

I genuinely don't think there is a more negative poster on this forum. no offense but its always doom and f*cking gloom with you isn't it??

Unfortunately, he has been proven to be correct.

Indeed he has but do you think the reason that people no longer really bother posting on here anywhere near as much as before maybe because of the negativity.

Every topic seems to be about someone moaning about this or that.

Piss of Cardiff! I was just doubftul about this fight happening due to few things

That's comedy gold that, you must be very proud

I'm as frustrated as anybody, but you just seem smug, smug about a young lad with well documented recent issues. It's odd, but whatever floats your boat Gran.

People are posting less because this seems laborious compared to Twitter.

You may not agree but that is the reason.

Is Enzo still planning to fight does anyone know? Be understandable if he didn't.

You are by far on of the most negative posters on this forum buddy, but in this instance I was talking about the negativity generally.

I wont post another negative post for week unless its about promotor not paying fighters!

FFS James it wasn't me who posted on here about how fantastic his 7 weeeks training camp was going and how his problems were OVER.
That's what GAVIN said himself !
Gran I might be - but with respect you are defending the indefensible.
Oh and before you go off on one - I fuckin want Gavin to succeed !

But you really seem to get enjoyment from it, it's not the first time. I'm not defending Gavin, I'm not privvy to any information which would lead me to defend or attack him, although if it were a financial thing perhaps I might defend him from an empathetic point of view, I wouldn't work for 25% of my regular wage regardless of what I'd done or not done in the previous months.

He needs to fight though, and I wish this fight was still on. But it isn't. People posted about it, and you can't understand why, but yet you post a bunch of times on the thread yourself. I'm not going off on one, I don't give a toss whether you want him to succeed or not. I just think you become an old woman when he's the subject of the discussion.

Then we'll agree to disagree.
What enjoyment do you think I'ver got from this ?
I suggest you read all of the posts including the other thread started by Coco.
Anyone would think I was a voice in the wilderness .....
I assume by my posts regarding him from the past you are alluding to what was said pre and post Woodhouse fight.
Stand by every word I said.

The financial thing is bogus, his mate Tony Bellew said so. The fact is he is fighting but has bottled Jason Cook

He may not be confident after to face Cook after a poor 12 months and 6 months out; I reckon he'd box him when he was back into it. Cook has been in pretty good form and would really be up for it; a chance for him to get right up there whereas it is Frankies first bout back. It'll be a good bout when it happens.

The Eastside forum still seems pretty busy though. Although I've only started to look at it in the last couple of months...

True but you are more likely to get a direct reply on here whereas on Twitter tweets are swept under the carpet more regularly.

Mcmillan is rumoured to be boxing Craig Windsor on the Alex Arthur promotion in Edinburgh

Thought he'd slipped on ice?

He may have, but my pal from up north said that the McMillan v Gavin was never really on the card and said he was boxing Windsor. If he is injured he won't be doing either

I'd heard a few rumours myself but didn't know what to think, still don't!

Let's be right, Frankie is from brum - so its more realistic to see him on Mcphilbin fight in Wolverhampton than in Wales.

Or maybe both. I'm sure he'll give us a hint when he next logs in.
