Julius Francis too heavy!

They say things happen in threes (two upsets last night), but Julius Francis seems over-heavy at 18 stone seven and a half pounds for his fight with Matt Skelton tonight.
Skelton came in at a trim 17 stone nine and a half pounds.

Skelton must go for the body now, its been a weakness for an in shape Francis - more of a weakness now.

Nooooooo problem! Old Man Julius will only need a couple of rounds to thrash the young pretender. 8)

Well, you picked Johnson, MW. Good one.

No that's bad news about the weight to be honest Bennie.
I was hoping he was taking this seriously, as it's a domestic challenge, which he's usualy up for.
But is he bothered? If he's motivated I'd give him a chance.He was talking a good fight last week....
