If both guys made 118 pounds it means their cancer medication isn't working. Hopefully they'll find a cure.

Is anyone else strangly annoyed by the updates on fightnews from this fight?

The Italian group consists of ten persons, and the German/Ukraine entourage was more than ten. They speak Italian, German and Ukrainian. Strange enough, we didn’t feel any antagonism between the champs and the challengers, though they are supposed to exchange hot fireworks tomorrow.
Presser not like in U.S.!
Maludrottu, a handsome Italian challenger, said, "We, European boxers, won't speak big nor shout loudly before the title bout like in the US. We're modest people." It might be a strange press conference from the viewpoint of US fight fans, since all the four contestants were so sportsmanlike and sincere that they wonderfully showed their high respects to the opponents each other.
Sidorenko, Maludrottu stun press!
...Each stunned the press people, because each said to be already at the 118-pound class limit no less than four days before the title bout.
