    Till has missed weight before, he's gigantic for 170. Should move up to MW in the near future regardless of the outcome of this fight.

    He'd be useless at MW and he knows it. Probably not even top 20. The only thing he has going for him at WW is size.

    Props to Thompson for going ahead with the fight anyway (unless Till comes in over 188, that is): I think he knows he'll beat Till regardless.

    I think it was deliberate. He knew he was in over his head and wanted any advantage he could possibly get. Till is shite. His only attribute is size. Had he not blitzed Cerrone I'm not sure he would have actually won that fight down the stretch. Cerrone is a slow starter at times and has always been susceptible to being stopped early. Till has labored with complete nobody's.

    Something needs to be done with fighters making weight as there is no doubt Till missed weight on purpose ,6 fighters have missed weight this year in UFC and all 6 won there fights

    Does anybody know how much weight Till typically gains after the weigh in? Does he have a good chance of making 188?

    He is massive and usually around 200lb and over, he has talked about becoming a 3 division champion so has probably only a small window of time to try win this welterweight title.
    If he had of beaten wonderboy here I would have given him the next shot against Woodley but I think he should have to fight once more after this to prove he can make weight.

    I usually like personalities in sports but this guy Till doesn't know when to Stfu. Till's motormouth is worse than Wilder's
