No!!! Frankie Gavin Fails to Make His Weight for Olympics

[ScallyWag II]

It's a real shame. Poor lad must be gutted.

to be 3lb over the weight limit - I mean, surely someone must have noticed there was a real problem and gone, look you better stop eating! I just really can't see how that could happen at this level.

It was the training wot done it - there was no fat to come off or water to spare, just too much muscle.

They must have a pretty good idea of what happens when an amateur starts training like a pro, though surely? There's a lot of blame to go around, I think - I just feel so sorry for the guy.

Muscle comes off more easily than fat if you starve! Or I'd be finding my fat loss regime far easier

Bodybuilders to get down to 2-4% bodyfat pre-competition will do cardio twice daily, eat nothing but protein, and they'll lose a stone of muscle to lose the last pound of fat.

they must have just left it too late, and thought they could sort it all with dehydration

Bodybuilders aren't getting into a ring - I doubt he could do that and still train, let alone compete.

Then why fucking mention it?

why the fuck not?

That' some funny shit.

The best boxers that ever lived have always been black, or mexican, or puertican rican, there has been great white boxers too. This 'great white hope' thing is not nor ever has been serious talk or discussion within boxing.

lol tho' at boxing has become racial. Take a quick look at some of the greatest that ever graced the ring.

Suagar Ray(s) Robinson/Leonard
Ali
Jou Louis
Duran/Haggler/Hearns
Whitaker
Monzon
RJJ
Arguelo
Chavez.

Not one of them white.

Boxing has always been full of colour, always was always will be.

Your posts are shite I'm afraid.

what does that prove?
racism is not one dimensional.
you have all nationalities in everyday life, it doesn't mean racism doesn't exist.

in american boxing, the roles have been reversed.
i'll give you examples;

mayweather taking the piss out of dela hoya fans by wearing mexican colours/clothes.

bernard hopkins throwing rice and beans in trinidad.

what would have happened if a white boxer did this?

i think that was it.
dehydration is the last thing to shed the pounds in boxing...

terrible coaches...

 

[jugularvein]

well, i would hate to see time when promoters in this country say stupid things like 'Great White Hope' cos boxing in america has become racial.

weird and not altogether pleasant tangent

 

[alsoknownas]

why the fuck not?

Cos it's completely irrelevant and makes you sound like a nob.

That's about as clever as your first post.

You mean lke the Manchester Mexican?

There's racism in life, fact, it's bullshit, there's bullshit in your posts, fact, is it rasicm?

Who knows, your orignal post which started this was pants, subsequent posts have been no better.

you cant dehydrate yourself to lose weight in the olympics coz you have to make the weight everyday, unlike pro boxing where you only have to make the weight at the weigh in!

 

[internetstalker]

the term "great white hope" comes from here

I don't think Charlie addict was meaning to be racist in his comment
