Stephen Halliday, Scotsman:

At the appointed time of 3pm, Docherty was invited to the scales by British Boxing Board of Control secretary Robert Smith and seemed relaxed as he weighed in at 9st 3lbs 4oz. When Smith then called for Arthur, he was nowhere to be seen. Several undercard boxers were then weighed in before Arthur appeared at 3.06pm.looking drained and agitated as he weighed in at 9st 3lbs 12oz."

Should anything be made of this?

Also, I'm still at a loss...anyone know who Ricky Burns and John McDermott are fighting tonight, and what did John weight?

Docherty needs to survive till the later rounds. Tie him up/spoil/run. Arthur will be fucked ~9.

Saying that, I still stick with my prediction of Arthur by stoppage in middle rounds, in fact, it may be quicker now because he may go all out for it.

Really looking forward to this one tonight, cant see owt else but an Arthur win, hopefully should be a cracking fight with an electric atmosphere.

Hmm, the more I think about it - Arthur's body will be a hot spot, particularly in those later rounds. Docherty has shown himself to be a good body puncher - the McKeever and Pithie stoppages were highlight reel stuff if I remember right. This match has the potential to be much more competitive than it first seemed, hope it is.

Not looking good for Arthur. He looked appauling on Sky a few moments ago.

I'll take Docherty to KO him in the 10th round.

i cant wait first 50/50 match in ages im gonna be brewed and have the surroud sound pounding sat on my bean bag screamin for Doc.
