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.

Olympics: 'What happened this morning has cost Frankie Gavin a million pounds'


Kerry Kayes, the sports nutritionist who appeared to have salvaged Frankie Gavin's hopes of making the lightweight limit, has described the subsequent failure of the British amateur boxing team to help their fighter in his now lost battle with the scales as "criminal" and "devastating". Gavin is due to return home today from the British training camp in Macau, a day before the Olympic Games actually begin in Beijing.

I get what you mean, it's a damn shame for the guy, and sounds like he never was going to make it.
