    I just seen Abraham came in nearly two pounds over the 12st limit, the farce of a ppv gets worse. If he doesn't lose the weight he can't fight for IBO world title (ITV called it that lol), have a feeling AA won't be bothered about title.

    I'm sure he's devastated he can't fight for the IBO

    Exactly mate, genuine two weight world champion is uf he cares about a joke of a title. I bet he doesn't even bother trying to lose weight.

    He doesn't deserve to have the good name of the IBO hovering above his waist. LONG LIVE THE IBO

    Haha AA couldn't give a toss, I am going to have to find Sr's reaction to this.

    I'm guessing it will sound something like this..

    "Abraham has not followed the Warriors code.....(a considered pose, hands outstretched) you have to make weight, you have to suffer, you have to sacrifice and hurt your body, that's what we do. Jr has suffered, he has sacrificed, he has hurt himself so that's why I know he will beat this man."

    "When I fought Watson 1, I was so dehydrated I couldn't blink my eyes were red raw, those are the type of sacrifices we make, we are not ordinary people, we are warriors, Abraham has proved to us he has become...... weak, soft"

    Does it affect whether he can get into the WBSS if he wins tho?

    I think this is intentional. The real question is how does this affect the WBSS entry? Surely CEJr should get the slot now regardless of what happens on Saturday.

    True, 2lb is a huge margin to be out.

    Eubank yapping on and Abraham's giving it back at the face off. That's about the most exciting thing in the build up so far.

    I read that in my mind in Chris Eubanks voice.

    This is what happens when you carry a paper title around. AA just wants the win, that title means **** to him.

    Abraham couldn't be fcuked and I don't blame him to be honest.
