Apparently, at Froch's first attempt to make the weight, after stripping all the way down to his Y-Fronts, he was 1lb over. Romour has it that two of his henchmen took him by the hands, helped him down of the scales and walked him to the nearest bathroom. Exactly 3 minutes later Froch reapeared, was aided onto the scales and made the weight.
Froch was said to be visibly shaking!

Shaking is a well known side effect of a henchman enema

No idea about the weigh in, but Froch is giving it large from the quotes on the BBC:

I've put £20 on Magee to win on points. Couldn't resist the odds.

Magee is definately ready for Froch but is Froch really up for it with Magee - Froch has to KO Magee to win I think, as I am pretty sure Magee will outpoint him with workrate - I do want to see Magee win and to my mind he has a good chance - We shall see

Notice how Froch hasn't badmouthed Calzaghe recently either.

Yes there was on Thursday at 3pm, both boxers made the weight at the first attempt, although Brian Magee was around 40 minutes late to arrive. Sorry no pics as I was announcing the weights etc.
