Dickens seems to be very aware of Barrett trying to assert his dominance and seems to have upped the levels again by taking the initiative and going on the attack.

Barrett's corner urges Barrett to pick "pick it up now" and I agree, if Barrett's gonna have any chance at all his gonna need to take the rest of the fight or gain a knockout.

A much better attempt from Barrett bring the heat and throwing plenty of power punches which hasn't off set Dicken's but certainly made him more weary whilst exchanging.

'Tunnel vision'

Jack Catterall was all business at the weigh-in earlier this week.

He said: "I know the stakes of this fight, what happens in the future with victory on Saturday night.

"I'm just tunnel vision, locked in now. I've got a big job to do tomorrow and i'm confident of doing it.

"This will be second time headlining in Manchester in the space of four months.

"So for me that's a big accomplishment. But I put that down to the hard work, the sacrifice that we make and I've got a point to prove. I'm fully focused on Barboza for Saturday.

"I'm coming to beat him and I'm excited to show the fans what I've been working on, all the hard work, all the time away from family and friends to go ahead and put a statement on to show the rest of the division, put them on notice that I'm coming for the world title."
