Seats are block 111. Row F. If anyone's interested. Great view as most of centre section will taken out for the ring itself.

I think GGG will stop Brook in 6 rounds or less

[StuTheGrouch]

I think it might go to points

[Johnny]

Jesus.

Brook look great!

[Turquoise]

Strange weigh in. GGG very subdued, not his usually smiley self. Talk that he's ill. Bookies shortening the odds on a Brook win after punters pour money onto it.

He wouldn't risk his perfect record if he wasn't 100% would he?

A tenner with my son says he will as well ... And there was me saying don't bet on the casinos thread ...

I can't think of a boxing match that had been called off this close to the bell, I'd say short of being shot it would be very difficult for a boxer to pull out of such a high profile fight this close.

I wouldn't worry too much about GGG

I'm going for a shock - Brook on points.

I'll get my coat.

Leave the coat where it is. I am thinking this too (probably taken in by the hype).

GGG has never been taken the distance, what makes you think Brook is the man to do it?

[Amirhussain]

Brook seems pretty confident, but I reckon once he feels GGG's power....

Come on, be fair, you've made a few 10s of £million, you're retired and one of the best pound for pound fighters of all time, how long are you going to hang around at under 9st ?

One of the best pound for pound of all time?

Any way, I see Froch has done a Jennifer Grey

Is this the guy who fought in front of 80000 people at Wembley?

Technically he has, three times...it's just that 'the distance' wasn't 12 rounds.

Not that I'm drawing a direct parallel, but Wlad had a phenomenal KO record too and, having already been put down by smaller men, not many fancied Tyson Fury's chances of hearing the final bell. Odds are against it, but Brook going the distance wouldn't be the biggest shock I've seen in boxing...

[Amirhussain]

Just realised it's Friday...been searching for live streams and wondering why no sites are giving any updates on the fight

Forgive my stupidity but what does that mean?

I think GGG will stop brook in 7 and Fury will stop Klitschko in 7 then wilder in 5 and Joshua in 3

Arrggh - We recently binned our Sky sports HD contract because of intermittent reception - does anyone have any good stream options?

I'm going to the pub to watch it. I binned Sky entirely recently as it's just not worth it (plus I get the excuse of going to the pub).
