    Don't see one around yet, so I'm getting mine in here nice and early. This can be the RBR thread later on aswell, when it starts.

    2 hours or so to go, so who are we tipping to win? I'm hoping Williams does, it seems he came in lighter than originally thought (or maybe not, seems to be a bit of confusion about his weight at the moment, can anyone truly confirm it?), but I've just got a feeling with over 3 rounds, Harrison will win it. He's obviously tall, and pretty skilled compared to most of the others, and I think he can avoid getting his chin cracked and getting backed up within 3 rounds.

    So who have you got your money on?

    I think we'll need a new one for the RbR.

    I'll add in the title on what page the RBR starts, so people can skip all the discussion.

    So who you got winning it Gaz?

    I fancy Harrision (the best fighter over 3 rounds) mate but given the format I don't think 5/4 is particulary good value so I;m not bothering having a bet.

    Me neither no bets.

    I'm taking Audrey too. Boxing is still key to this competition regardless of the format. It just means you get mad men swining wildly and more openings to take advantage of.

    I hope for his sake he does well, he seems to be a bit overlooked. Can't say I've seen him fight though, what's he like? I've heard he's pretty decently schooled, but lacks a punch? Obviously pretty small aswell.

    Thought more people would pick Danny...I also think Audley's worth a shout because they're just three-rounders.

    I'll say:

    Scott Gammer v Coleman Barrett - Barrett points
    Danny Williams v Carl Baker - Danny points
    Audley Harrison v Scott Belshaw - Audley TKO
    Neil Perkins v Danny Hughes - Perkins points

    See how it goes...

    Should be exciting.
    Is the winner in line for a World title shot?

    I would highly doubt so. A shot at the winner of Rogan/Sexton might not be too unrealistic though.
