    As i said to Tony other week Danny is making his excuses, lets face it shifting a chest infection is hard enough. He's injured his ankle and other things that don't really suit the life of a professional.

    He's a nice lad, but the reality's of this test is getting to him. I remember the days when some on here believed Tony was ducking Danny. Tony's gonna win this fight inside the distance.

    Could Danny be playing games cus he thinks Tony is tight at the weight?

    This is the third date now, right? Long time to stay close to 175 when you're as big as Tony is.

    Good shout, could be what he's wanting. I have wondered if the 'i'm out clubbing tonight, gonna have a few drinks' stuff is a wind up but i dunno from what some say he's not most dedicated pro.

    Tony has a real opportunity to make a statement here, he needs to be stopping his man. Then bring on Gutknecht for the summer. :yep :bbb

    I think he is attempting to take the **** tbh.

    If you look at Tony's twitter, he lets everybody know what he's done that day, what number session of the day it is and how ****ed he is.

    Mcintosh is basically trying to be clever.

    That's my take anyway.

    Yeah this. Dont think it will matter in the slightest to be honest. Although the constantly keeping weight thing may be an issue

    Not trying to be smart here, but if he was fighting Clev it maybe could be.

    I don't think Mcintosh got the necessary to take Tony late though.

    Bellew inside 4.

    Yep, early KO for me too. McIntosh is clearly worried about this fight (As has been confirmed before by his constant telling of people he didnt want the fight, and no this stuff). He's start of tentatively and be punished early for doing so.

    Wasn't it Bellew that wanted the date to be moved first time around because everton and Liverpool were in the FA Cup semifinal?

    I think Danny may genuinely be injured. Fighting Bellew is hard enough, let alone when you are not 100%.

    Whilst it may be frustrating for us and for Bellew, McIntosh has to give himself the best chance, if this is a genuine concern (his flu) then i'm all for him postponing the date rather than using his illness as an excuse afterward.

    there is zero point in fighting in liverpool when 80,000 sports fans are at wembley!

    to be honest the fight needs to be put back, its an expensive weekend for most people going and for alot of people its either the football or the boxing and alot will choose the football, a scouse semi final happens once in a blue moon!!


    its for the best, gives people an extra two week to save up and hopefully promises to be a full echo arena!!
