Weigh-in times today?

Anyone know what time the weigh-ins will be approx today?

There's a small piece by the bbc about Danny not turning up to the press conference yesterday, fearing there would be a bust-off after the slagging off that's been happening. Little bit ott I'd have thought. It's hard enough getting Audrey fighting in the ring let alone out of it.

Round one to Audley then! He is obviously getting under Williams skin!

Perhaps Williams has been reading the thread about the weights and wants me to win the DVD's so is buying more lead weights.

Not showing up to the press conference is odd - Audleys not the sort to start a brawl pre-fight and Williams knows it. I don't think the best Williams is showing up lads - mentally unstable again

Williams did show up as far as I know just he didnt sit next to Audley when the press were interviewing Audley. Mcdonnell sat in for him and then When Audley left Danny sat down for the presss

As a lot of people have said, this fight is arguably going to be less about who the better boxer is and more about who's going to "implode." Is Danny's beating against Klitchko, plus the whole farce of the Skelton non-fight going to catch up with him, or is Audrey quietly shitting bricks?

As for not turning up at the press conference, fightnews puts a more combative twist on it, from a Williams point of view

Harrison-Williams presser! - Fightnews.com

Danny Williams was fuming mad and refused to sit at the table with Audley Harrison at today's press conference in London. Williams threatened to knock out Harrison there and then, so promoter allegedly allegedly advised him not to go on the table. Hence, there were two separate press conferences. "I'm a professional and Danny Williams should be able to come up here, be a man and speak his mind," said Harrison. "This is part of the proces of being a professional. It is unprofessional but he does a lot of things that are bizarre. The bottom line is the bigger picture and if he turns up on Saturday night that will be OK." Warren stated, "I think he should be up here, but you are going to see a great fight on Saturday night and that's what it's all about." Wiliams later explained, "It's all the talk, the disrespect. I have not fought anyone who talks as much as Audley Harrison. I have been giving as much as I have been getting, but I have had enough and now I just want to fight."

The animosity all seems a bit fake to me, Jomo got it spot on when he said it's hard enough getting Audley to fight in the ring let alone at the press conference! I was thinking seriously about it today while at work supposedly working, what if Audley loses? This is a high risk fight for him IMO The massive boasts and world title aspirations would take a huge dent even in these sad times of splintered titles.

He is going to get his fat ears boxed off!

I think he has a nutritional issue and he perhaps isn't training as hard as he is saying! Williams that is

Nearly 19 1/2 stone, what the fornicate is he thinking.

Glad i waited before betting.

Is this with or without weights down the adidas poppers?

Doesn't look good for Danny to me. The heavier they are the harder they fall. It's either a stroke of genious or suicide on Danny's part, I'd say the latter.

Have to say I think Williams has lost it mentally really... all that stuff at the press conference is a give away as well that Danny is panicking....
