Frankie was real keen to know about Dean and too fight him and it's a fight i would like to see, Would certainly be 2 lads not just picking easy fights anyway..

Great for Sutcliffe Junior to be sparring these guys.......although if memory serves me correct Sutcliffe junior fought Gavin before and from what I heard it was a very even fight.

Keepin an eye on it alright. Gavin vs Byrne be great but can see Frank puttin that on the mag7 card. It'd be great exposure for the Irish title though if it was contested on a ppv by 2 hungry evenly matched fighters.

Well I think they fancy getting a hold of Andy Murray. I cant see that one happening unless they wave a lot of money under his nose.

An auld trip across the pond wouldnt go astray either for that fight.

EDIT: Meaning Frankie could make the trip over B-)

Exclusive interview with a sauna suit wearing Frankie Gavin ahead of his Irish title clash with Michael Kelly. Find out how he is doing weight wise ( a topic on everyones mind following his inability to make weight for the olympic games) and his thoughts on the man who will be facing him on the night of the 18th, Dundalks two time world military champion Michael Kelly.

If he considered himself primarily irish rather than english then people would have more interest in him.

jesus christ, the guy in from Dundalk! sure its near the border and they have a horrible accent but he is as entitled to be as Irish as you or I!

Is he from Dundalk? I knew he had Irish parents but I didn't know he was born here. Not that it makes much difference.

Cowzerp was referring to Michael Kelly, joking at the way this whole fight has been concentrated on Gavin. Gavin was indeed born in England.

I think part of the lack of interest comes from Gavin being expected to blast Kelly away with relative ease. Even if he doesn't do that I can't imagine this fight being anything other than one sided. Gavin has already beaten a better Irish Lightweight/Light-Welterweight in Peter McDonagh and he didn't struggle to do that either.

Was a pretty one sided affair alright but fair play to Kelly who gave a spirited performance, had one or two brief spells of success and will benefit from been in with someone of Gavins level. Frankie is just in a different class which is in no way disrespectful to Kelly as im sure we will see funtime fighting for euro and world titles down the line.
A defence of the title in Ireland would be nice, pity he's already fought McDonagh.

Anyone been following my crusade to get Frankie Gavin to fight for an Irish title?
