Comments Thread For: Team Gavin: Frankie Will Be Too Intelligent For Witter

[JakeNDaBox]

Birmingham welterweight ace Frankie Gavin might just be the most naturally blessed boxer operating in Britain at present.

However, after a troubled spell last year, England’s only ever world amateur champion is now back on form and ready for his crucial British title challenge to Junior Witter at the York Hall a week on Thursday (1st November), live on BoxNation (Sky Ch. 437/****** Ch. 546).

Head cleansed, he is anxious to make up for lost time and certainly appeared close to his exhilarating best when rebounding with a brace of stoppage wins earlier this year.

After stints in Manchester with ‘Arnie’ Farnell and, briefly, in London’s East End with the Tibbs', the still unbeaten 27 year old is back in Brum and re-united with ex-amateur coach Tom Chaney.

Boxing writer Glynn Evans tracked down coach Chaney to discuss Gavin’s rehabilitation. [Click Here To Read More]

I want to see a motivated, disciplined Frankie Gavin.

I was so big on Gavin at one point but now I've lost a lot of interest. Hasn't really dedicated himself to the sport and time is running out. Should've been well past this level by now and fighting the contenders of the division.

I think Gavin is too suited to the amateurs, he cuts easy and lacks a decent punch. He'll make his way towards the top and pick up some good wins but I don't think he's as special as everyone, or certainly I, thought he was.
