    He was trying to say that they're not calibrated properly. So if Jnr makes 160, they're light. Basically trying to make things harder for the drained warhorse.

    Why don't you like clean fighters?

    Stay classy

    Id like The BBBofC to outlaw rehydration clauses for these type of fights moving forward. Don't even know why they allow it

    I’m not condoning this but there’s fighters doing these weight cuts every week all over the world from amateur mma and boxing through to the elite level. Jnr is a grown man, who’s earning millions and millions of pounds and has been through this process many times before. It’s being turned into the soap opera that this fight has become.

    Trouble with barry he says anyhing for a good story, you watch when he's talking about snooker and he makes it the opposite and tells how successful and on top of the world matchroom were in the mid to late 80s... the truth is probably somewhere in one of his stories, maybe. lol

    You can't start changing fight terms and conditions after the contract has been signed. You should have read through the contract with a fine tooth comb and iron everything out then. No point in Mazzaaaaa Majeed moaning about cameras and gloves now. I see Nappy was standing there like an idiot with zero input at all.

    Anna: “both fighters look great on the scales”

    Boxing has been doing ceremonial weigh ins for years hasn't it?

    Assuming Eubank makes the 170 tomorrow I'll be lumping on Benn KO

    I agree with this. Eubank has a tinpot operation behind him.

    One thing Eddie is a master of is getting his target audience of minimum wage/hard of thinking / turkey teeth types fully engaged and buying into the narrative.

    Thankfully most people / real boxing fans can see straight past it
