I like a good poll so here one is, make your mark, comments please also.

If Williams has got his mojo back, is fit and healthy as he claims and really wants to go out with a bang, he may find it in himself to leave a careers worth in the ring and go for broke.. Then this should be close..

I personally think this is a hard one to call as I don't see either man going for the technical boxer, I think they both are hungry for the flash finish in the ring, and could come down to slugging it.

chisora tko3 danny is shot to pieces

Can't stand Chisora and think Danny will TKO him in one last hurrah (please Danny!)

Fingers crossed...

That could be so, but just a note, Danny being a devout Muslim..

Dannys last 2 losses to people he should have beat, Baker and Sosnowski - The majority of his pre-fight training time has fallen in the dates of the Islamic Ramadan fast, which means constricted food, drink intake and a very restricted diet. Ramadan falls some time around August-October each year for about a month.

Ramadan can not be good pre-fight for the nutrition of a top boxer who needs to train all day and not be allowed to eat freely this will effect their metabolism and durability?

Not an excuse, but something to consider? Also with this being Dannys 'last fight', no where near Ramadan, he may give it his all and let his hands go allot more then we have seen in a long time.

if chisora is going places he needs to knock williams out

Bump.. Only a few days away now so lets have some more of you making your mark.

I heard a rumour Danny has split with his trainer recently? Anyone know if this is true?

I got the impression Danny way solid and set for this fight, being at his best and going to give it his all?

Only a few more days and we will see, regardless of what happens, I hope Chisora gets a good testing out of it, as it is for the British and I hate to see the Londsdale won to easily.

We saw from Williams last outing that his punch resistance was poor and his balance was awful. Chisora should be polishing him off with ease.

What are the odds on the Sky team saying "Which Danny Williams will turn up tonight?"

I`d say almost as certain as "Excuse the language"

Not gonna be a good end for Danny IMO, what with all this training himself nonsense, and he'll go out on his shield, not in a blaze of glory sadly.

I find it hilarious to think that Danny has ever missed a meal, in any way whatsoever.

Isn't it only during the hours of daylight that Ramadan proscribes food? In that case, Danny must eat the equivalent of six or seven meals each night, to make up for it.

PS: Danny's balance & punch resistance has been shot to fecking bits since... Er. After the Klitschko fight? Anyone remember the little dance followed by a desperation hug routine he had to do after getting clipped in the first round by Platov?

His continued success ever since about 2005 is a testament to his heart, intestinal fortitude & the generally laughable state of the heavyweight division. I wish him well in whatever endeavour he chooses to pursue & hope that whatever the result of this bout, he gets to enjoy a healthy & tranquil retirement.

Thanks for links!!

Some good interviews. Chisiora comes across as stoned lol, if he is coming in at 15 stone even like they mentioned, that's a bit light, could loose the weight behind his punches?

Chisora talks tongue in cheek most of the time. I think he was joking about the weight. I can't see him being below 17 stone.

If Danny still has it in him to do this, then maybe retirement is the wrong option

Agreed

I think williams might pull an Oliver McCall

Can't stand Chisora and would love to see Danny give him a real hiding. Sadly I think Chisora stops him but I will console myself safe in the knowledge that Chisora will get his hiding some day.

This should be Chisora's coming out party - and I don't mean he's going to kiss him at the weigh in. I can see Danny hanging tough and asking some real questions of him, but I think Chisora should stop him in about 7.

He has weighed in at 17 stone 6 lbs for this fight. Pretty much the same as against Carl Baker.

Williams is 277 lbs. :(

That's 19 stone 7.

Williams is grossly overweight & his punch resistance was completely gone in Prizefighter. As much as I like him, Chisora should brush him aside without too much bother.

I think Williams has one good fight left in him and will give as good as he gets early and in the middle rounds but for all Chisora's crap he is a good boxer, I think he'll stop Williams late with it tight on the cards

That's the heaviest he has been in his career. Looks like he is in retirement mode already. I'd expect Chisora totake him out within 6.

To be fair Chisora could do with losing a few pounds himself.

Heart says and prays for Williams but the head says Chisora
