What happened at the weigh ins?
The super welterweight (or junior middleweight, depending on your preference) weight limit is 70kgs and both made it comfortably.
Dennis Hogan weighed in at 69.4kgs and said that we will see “the very very best” Hogan on Wednesday night.
“The best you’ve never seen,” Hogan said. “But you will tomorrow night.”
“It’s make of break for me,” Hogan said. “It’s everything in the world to me.”
His prediction was that he would outbox Tszyu “every single round” but he would get a knockout – but he wouldn’t say anything else, would he?
Tim Tszyu weighed in a fraction lighter at 69.3kg, but Ben Horne noticeably said to Tszyu “you’re getting bigger, how was it making the weight”.
Tszyu, never a man of many words, simply said “it’s done”. You can always read into this, but does that mean a move up to middleweight sooner rather than later? Again, lots of water to pass under the bridge before we get there yet, but that was an interesting comment for me.
What does Tszyu think of the fight?
“Everyone knows [what’s going to happen,” said Tszyu.
“He believes [he’s going to win],” Tszyu said. “I know. That’s the difference.”
Here’s the face off. Hogan broke gaze first, if that means anything…
