I would not call it a massive upset if Woodhouse beat him.

I honestly have not seen anything of this world class ability that Gavin has. Reminds me a bot of Paul Williams, everyone said he was great but I always thought he was overrated. Woodhouse to win on cuts would not surprise me.

Fighting at Welter shoes me Gavin is not that comfortable at the 10st level. I thought he was alt welter?

We usually do agree, but I just do not see how great Gavin is. World Amateur Champ, great, but this is Pro boxing.

Unlike Muttley - negative - I am sure Woodhouse is coming to win. Its a good test but should have been at 10st, imo.

Come on Curtis!

It would be a huge upset. I can't see it happening. I think McKenzie, Cook and Mitchell have good chances of springing an upset.

I think Frankie is fine at welter.

Because he tends to fight quite short it's easy to forget that he's actually around 5'9''/10.

Obviously it's a poor show with the weight for this fight but I honestly think he'd struggle to make 10st safely before too long.... so why not just move up?

Over here we seem to have an obsession with fighters fighting at the lowest possible weight unless they're flogging themselves half to death to make it..... Arnie isn't a clown and wouldn't stand for any shit from Gavin I'm sure.

Frankie Gavin looks nowhere near his billed height of 5'10" to me.

He does not.

If Woodhouse won it would be a huge upset! Woodhouse has lost twice to journeymen and in Gavins last fight he shut out a domestically rated fighter and still looked about 40% of his best, this to me shows how good he is on an off night he beats Mutley around the ring! Boxing is all about levels and as much as I like Curtis I don't give him much of a chance of getting inside Gavin's jab and if he does Gavin will step back and fire off combinations before moving. Woodhouse's style is almost perfect for Gavin imo

They're both pretty large. Difficult call, but I'd probably go for Massive on points.

1. Frankie isn't ill this time.
2. Mutley was negative and pretty much in survival mode. Curtis will come out swinging and get picked off until he runs out of steam, in my view.

Not ill Didn't he say he's had a cold/chest infection thats why the weight got changed and he's had to give Curtis another couple of grand ???

Reckon you're bang on there

The form book would indicate it would be a massive upset. Woodhouse lost to McDonagh, and Woodhouse (to his credit) offered no excuses, said he was beaten by the better man. Frankie beat McDonagh easy.

It would be a massive upset, and sorry whether you think Gavin is world class potentially or not.... I can only see one winner. For me it is a backward step to Lomax. I hope Woodhouse proves me wrong and is competitive. However, at the moment better fighters than Woodhouse (at least what Curtis has shown so far) have not been competitive against Gavin.

Are any of the others considered a massive upset?

Frankie knows he was disappointing value in his last outing.

A combo of flu' plus an opponent who didn't have any intention of winning were the perfect ingredients for a total stinker.

I believe he'll show us all of his magic tricks tonight and Curtis ships a ton of shots and gets pulled or ref waves his brave effort off.

He didnt only just beat mutley.

You can get 22/1 on Woodhouse at 32 Red, those are some of the longest odds I've ever seen in boxing. Consider that Barker is only 10/1 to beat Martinez

Heart says Curtis but just think he's goin to fall short. If he goes the distance and nicks a couple of rounds he's done brilliant and mr Gavin should get off his high horse and give him some well deserved credit. I also think Tony will get stopped or even ko,d he look shocking at weigh-in swiggin on some kind of fluid just looked so uncomfortable hope am wrong a like Tony. Burns should take care of a inactive mr Cook in around 8 rounds , and Murray v Mitchell really is a 50/50 but goin to go with Mitchell just for the sake he's got one big point to prove ;;-)

Massive respect has too be shown for the warrior Curtis
