I guess he is just heavy boned.
That is heavy, he was down to nearly 220 for Platov.

Williams....one question. Why waste your time?
The guy he's facing ain't up to much, so he still has a chance. He's a crude kinda guy, Danny really should outbox him, but at that sort of weight it makes things difficult
Even if he wins, it once more raises doubts over his long-term ambition and motivation

He is just a journeyman now (opponents who beat him can boast they beat the man who beat Tyson).
Sad end for DW, I wonder if this talk of fighting on Haye promoted cards may put some fire back in his big fat belly.

That is heavy, he was down to nearly 220 for Platov. Danny was 228lbs for the Gammer fight. According to boxrec he came in at 270lbs for the Platov fight. Don't know exactly when this fight was announced but I think most of us only found out about this fight a few weeks ago so maybe he didn't have a lot of time to prepare. But then again he took his last fight (on the woods/tarver undercard) on short notice and he came in at 258lb. That's Danny for you, but I hope he wins.

Let me guess...
He has been pushing a mini up a hill and people keep stopping thinking he has broken down, and when he tells them they think he is mad, but it has him very strong.
Also sleeping in an oxygen tent has really helped.

I understand he is a big mate of Ricky Hatton - surely that explains it!

Williams feels he has to come in heavy to be able to take the punches of these guys .
Against Gammer he looked so much better when light , but at the same time the punches(which were coming from a much lighter hitter than Skelton , Audley , Platov etc) he shipped did seem to have more of an effect on him .
He was 270 for Platov , so he's lighter here .
He was also 267 for the first Skelton fight , so he can perform at this weight .
However I'd much rather see him come in at 230 and try and win in the style of the Gammer fight , rather than trying to soak up his opponents presure and then winging big punches looking for the knockout .

He did that in the Platov fight and it nearly cost him, he looked hurt a few times before some of the wild swings began to land on Platov.
Maybe butterbean is his hero.

and I bet it's what he'll try tonight too, however should he win I reckon he'll come in lighter against McDermott who doesn't offer that much in terms of punching power .

I think Danny's best fighting weight is around the 240 mark.
220 - 230 is too light and he can look wobbly on his feet, whilst at 270 - 280 he has plenty of wobbly bits, particularly around his mid section.
I don't know many who have a bad word to say about Danny Williams, it's just a shame that he didn't reach the heights he could have, bearing in mind the weakness of the division during his prime.

He's a nice guy, but his mental game is awful.
He sure is, even after the Platov farce Danny Williams was composed and a true gent. Spencer Fearon on the other hand was ffing and blinding everything that came into his mouth.

[Only registered and activated users can see links] watched the pad work??? Who's the coach that work looked pretty poor. Danny needs to be 16-17st to be effective... He isn't James toney but you've got him ducking to the right throwing uppercuts and 'clever' counters. I take it the game plan is to turn up and hope for the best then because that pad and bag work is not that of someone who is going out to take charge of a bout. Any thoughts anyone so I don't feel a cunt. :good

Yep, looked piss poor to me, I was expecting more after being given the big buildup. What's with all the yes men around him? All his best mates have a role in the corner now?
I'm still excited about seeing him in action, despite all the evidence that tells you he's going to be bad. There is always that hope inside me he'll fight to his potential. That's Danny Williams for you

One positive thing though, at least he is contained in a gym and not pushing old bangers round Brixton.
Also for those with FTA digital satellite receivers the fight is on DSF @ 19.2E and it 100% free. You also get the bonus of the Hide fight. Starts at 9pm (BST).

Not on Eurosport last time I checked their EPG. Also no radio coverage as BBC don't have the dosh to fly anyone to Bilbao.

Danny has mentioned that this is around his ideal weight for the rest of his career. I think he shall still win but the German looks to have a good punch. I think Danny will win by KO but I fear that something dodgy like a cut will force him out of his British title defense in July.

Usuall shit from DW in the 1st, took lots of punishment and a few wild swings.
This is well funny Danny caught him in the privates and the other chap takes a standing count, then the ref appears to dock a point from Danny.
3rd and dannys legs have gone, takin a standing count, this fight is a farce. The binding from one of DW gloves is all over the place, DW tries to buy some time and the ref raps it round his gloves and tells him to continue, the binding lasts 2 seconds and is all over the place again.
Looks like Danny going to get KO'd.
