Witter will destroy Paulie, then get a shot at Floyd who he'll bamboozle with his seamless stance switching (hang on a minute, just switching stances....yep, now I'm southpaw....wait a minute...yep, back to orthodox again). Witter needs to retire, he's British level at best.
I am not a fighter by any means, but Chisora does not intimidate me one bit. I'm same height but about 180lbs, but if he said he'd slap me I'd just throw punches at his massive head til he or "his boys" KO'd me.

Loss of five stone in two months; sounds a lot of weight to shift healthily. Tyson is an amazing fighter when head in right place and hope he's back to his best and on road to recovery.
Bear in mind it's a 10-rounder.
I do hope Brook doesn't do a "Bradley" and try to get him out of there early.
10 rounder? Really?! Makes me think Big Eddie's worried...
He's taking no chances on Brook's stamina (or lack thereof).
It's very odd. Shouldn't have taken Carson Jones without it being a 12 rounder at 147. It completely undermines the point of showing that Brook's improved. I suspect that he hasn't improved; his quick fire win after Carson Jones showed little IMO. And it looks like he might be in worse shape than last time...unless the gurus at Sheffield Halam think that Brook's at light middle. The 10 rounds tells me this isn't so though...
All this, and fact Hearn seems to be promoting Brook a little less tells me that Brook may be in for a tough night come Saturday...
Got a feeling something's happened with Brook, that he's lost motivation or something. The catchweight request is telling. I'm going with Carson Jones by late stoppage, in a similar fight to last time.
I was not impressed with DeGale in his last outing and fear he's gone backwards. I believe he maybe beat Groves in their fight, but he's definately gone downhill since. People seem to think he's a cvnt too; he's actually a really nice fella; I chatted to him once at a weigh in and he's not like his public persona.
I'd like to see James rebuild his profile by being more humble; stop bashing Groves and get his ring confidence back. He has all the potential.
I never believed Hatton was scared of Witter. Hatton's just a stubborn **** and deliberately refused to give Witter a pay day. Witter would do well to be complimentary to Hatton and be mature...cause if he does this, and manages to beat Gavin, it would give him the best chance of a Hatton showdown.
Second time Khan fights a guy whose name is same as a more famous fighter. For example Carlos Molina (same name as 154 Carlos Molina), and now Julio Diaz whose name sounds similar to Juan Diaz to the guy on the street. It's the boxing equivalent of selling a fake designer shirt.
I absolutely love Groves and this move is fantastic for him. I must admit I had him a round down against DeGale, but now he'd absolutely smash DeGale to pieces. He's kept learning whereas DeG has plateaued.
Problem with Harrison is, he's not a fighter. In the ring, he suffers from paralysis by analysis. I genuinely think you could put Harrison in against someone much smaller, like Froch, someone who has brains and balls, and he would lose.
The difference between Sprott and Audley though is that Audley has a gold medal, and is a complete and utter c unt everyone wants to see fail.
Sprott would never ever get a shot. He should be satisfied with his career though.
People should be more understanding of mental illness; it's an actual illness that is of no fault of a person...just like diabetes or cancer or something physical.
DeGale looking for a way out of a tough fight. It's obvious - if he thought he could win, he'd put his title on the line. Even if he lost without the title on the line he'd be a joke champ.
