Wasn't Hattohn's chum Kerry Kayes involved nutritionally?

True.
Very well noted.

OK, so there's one medal off our boxing team's list....real shame, seemed like a good lad an very talented.

When was the last time he fought/made weight? Very possible he grew out of it, but if they recently implemnted a touger weights regime on a guy struggling to make weight, heads should turn.

To be fair i think he's a bit of a clown. Not sure what qualifications he has. Remember him telling somebody on the Hatton forum (ask kerry bit) that all consumed protein gets stored directly as muscle. So by that theory, you could eat an actual tonne of it and look like Ronnie Coleman by the end of the day.

They say he's Ricky's nutritionist also.
How many times have we seen Ricky coming inot big fights with cold sores and having been ill a couple of months previous?
(Maussa, Collazo, Urango, Castillo, Mayweather, Lazcano.)
If his body was correctly fuelled he wouldn't be getting sick before fights.

Perhaps he knows weights, but this is boxing.

The GB squadHas the best Nuitrisionist in the biusness a guy called Nigel Ive worked with Him. He is superb, listen to him you wont go wrong. But this has been an ongoing thing, that hasnt worked out, still we still have seven in the Games which is Brilliant.

What's the ongoing thing? do they not listen to him?

Not knowing what's going on it's impossible to point the finger, I have my doubts about Kayes, then again I think he was only consulted about Gavin recently, so maybe he was a lost cause before then.

Anyway, as you said it's a great result with 7, and Gavin will still hold a lot of cards when negotiating a professional deal, he should be able to start his career in a better position than 99.9% of guys.

I heard about this earlier today!Im totally gutted that he has'nt made the weight.I mean why has'nt he done soo?!A great opportunatey to really shine again and show the world his talents and get us brits a gold medal too.I bet he got a big offer of a top promoter to fight pro.I bet £££££ blinded him.I mean come on,how the hell has he and his coach fucked up his weight on the run up to a great tournament like the Games?Sound dodgey if you ask me.I wish him luck,but i'am gutted!

Bomp, The Bottom line is He qualified at Light There is young who has also qualified at Light welter so that wasnt an option. Gavin has a problem making Light He struggled in the Worlds to make weight, Hence 9 months down the line its become a bigger problem. Now its okay to start calling everybody involved a wanker, but Franky didnt qualify at Lt welter where the other guy did. Now Im just guessing but in the squad they Spar and I should think those two Spar together and the powers that be watch and observe whom at that weight is the better of the two. Now the so called experts are having a field day those who have an axe to grind are out in Force saying They told us so. Trouble is I never heard them say anything constructive. Only how they could do it Better, I know most of them and the bottom line is they couldnt its Bullshit.

[Kev]

Ah well I'm glad I'll look forward to seeing him in the pro's. I've never given two shits about the amatuers, it's not proper boxing at all imo, it's like cycling with stabalisers or swimming with armbands, who cares who wins, not I.
