Do they tell you the exact day and time they're coming?
I would say Harrison will be over 10 1/2 - 11 st come fight time, thats massive for a featherweight, I will still pick Brodie to pick him off, Harrison is very predictable, Brodie UD.

They did away with same-day weigh-ins because of fears that weight-drained boxers would not have enough time to rehydrate to a safe level before the fight. Of course what they should have been doing is legislating against weight-drained boxers, now they have allowed people to compete outside their natural weight class. Personally I think they should reinstate the same-day weigh-ins and combine that with several check-weigh-ins in the week leading up to the fight to ensure that the boxer is not majorly weight-drained when they officially weigh-in on the day.
Check weighs are now in force for title fights. You get check weighed by the BBBofC 3 weeks before a fight and a few days before the official weigh in.
but people just cut for the check weigh in..... i would favour same day weigh ins myself....

Nonsense. Harrison will be about 10 stone at the most come fight time. There's no way he'll be 11 stone.

I would guess Harrison would be close to 10stone and Brodie about 9st7
When they get in the ring i suspect Harrison will be 5-8lbs heavier than Brodie...one or two divisions

I'm really surprised Harrison hasn't gone up to super featherweight yet, remember thinking a few years ago that it was only a matter of time. His stamina was hardly hot in the Polo fight and boiling down as much as he does can't be good. He does look ill in those pics. I really think if Brodie can get a good number of hard shots off to his body then Harrison could be stopped.
Am more nervous for Mike in this fight then I am for Ricky tomorrow

Harrison looks like he's just out of a concentration camp, not training camp. :(

I'm sure I even remember Team Harrison saying about a year ago that Scott was a Light-Welterweight fighting at Featherweight.
He does look awfull in those photos, as bad as Cotto does.

Well lets hope he jumps off his yacht then.

He looks so much bigger than Brodie though, didn't realise there was such a height difference.
Eh? - Of course Harrison is on platform!
Check the stats at boxrec!

What you reckon Harrison is standing on the scales for that pic with Brodie? Surely not, he'd be much higher than that.

No saying you're wrong mate but I don't see anything else on the floor apart from the scales and that dodgy looking carpet.
