Did you notice anything else unusual about Gavins pads?

Sam is going to turn a lot of heads saturday a lot is being put into skeete fight but sam has learnt from it and tbh went in a little bit cocky.

Quite a lot of boxing people are betting heavily on Sam.

Tickets wise Sam is actualy from smethwick moved to stourbridge a few years ago so is bringing a lot of birmingham fans I think hes sold almost double what frankie has,plus hes got 6 gym mates on and our guys always tell there fans to support there gym mates on so Sam will probably have more noise in the room.

Its a good fight and a very tough fight but at just turned 23 we beleive sam is improving enough with each fight to surprise the odds once more.

Thanks for that jon

I know what you mean but I won't point it out. In addition to what you have in mind I thought it odd that his pad man was squatting down very low rather than having Frankie deal with a taller opponent. They must genuinely believe there is only a 1" height difference.

The pad man was standing in a southpaw stance. We found that really unusual.You will notice sams padman was in a southpaw stance because hes facing a southpaw having a pad man standing southpaw when yr facing an orthadox is as unusual as seeing someone spar a southpaw when hes facing an orthodox opp,quite odd

Thanks again Jon, and good luck for saturday

Could it be because they have a suspicion that Sam is going to come out in the southpaw stance on Saturday for some reason?

One thing is for sure, if Gavin does lose this he will go down as one of the most overhyped amateurs and another amateur who didn't achieve much in the pro game. Some were saying he was nailed on for Olympic gold at the time remember.

Posted: **19 Oct 2016, 19:53**

I think Sam being the much bigger man is going to wear him down and knock him out late.

I really hope Sam wins as he comes across as a genuine person and Gavin is far too cocky. Frankie seems to think he is levels above and I reckon hes expecting it to be easy.

I can't really have a lot of confidence in Gavin at this level. He is the more skilled boxer, but dedication is obviously an issue and Egg is the stronger of the two.

Also, I agree with the person who commented the other day that Gavin looks to have aged a lot in the face.

He was rightly favourite for The Olympics which is, after all, still amateur!

Gavin hauled himself up from a killer body shot delivered by fringe world-class Bundu and worked his way back into the fight. I don't see him "wilting" here.

that's when he had an undefeated record to defend, I think hes lost his appetite for the sport myself

To early to call him the British Howard Davis?

Anyone who knows odds have any idea if the odds on Gavin on points are likely to get better or worse (if they change at all) by fight night? Not sure when the best time to throw some money on him is.

I would guess at being worse (shorter) , i got sam by ko 3-1, good luck either way

Gavin was so sharp as an amateur. Footwork balance timing.

But in the pros je just looks like a 15 yr old boy. Should've had a nutrition and strength trainer...

Or gone to Miami with David Haye or hung out more often with Kid Gallahad's brother

Posted: **20 Oct 2016, 12:03**

I think in the next 24 hours the odds are going to swing in sams favour quite a bit.Watch this space

I think they may very well do Jon, good luck to Sam and the team

I hope so I've got a few quid here to bang on Gavin and the odds are shortening on him
