Lightweight Gavin Gwynne (16-2-1, 4 KOs) will have size on his side when he faces unbeaten Emiliano Marsili (42-0-1, 16 KOs) for the EBU European title on Friday on TNT Sports from London’s York Hall.
Gavin Gwynne: “He is 47 and 42-0. He is kicking on now and, to be honest with you, I could have beaten him in his prime. Him being 47 is not going to help his case on Friday night when I start letting my hands go and he is not doing any damage to me…I think the size of me will be a massive factor as well because I am a welterweight, really. He is a featherweight coming up so I think this will play a part…I don’t care what I get hit with and he doesn’t have the power to keep me off him. I know that for a fact. As soon as he sets his feet, that’s game over for him.”
Not sure if this article has typing errors in it but “if” this guy really is 47 y/o with a record of42-0 then…where you been man?
Italy. He’s been in Italy.
Gwynne may beat a 47 year old part time fighter, but he sure talks a lot for someone who has never beaten anything but tomato cans and can’t break an egg.
Emiliano Marsili was the sparring partner of Nino Benvenuti and Bruno Arcari
