Fight is very soon I'm not so sure if Gus has an advantage now, everyone is saying disadvantage.
I posted this on my website the other day;
Gus vs. Theo fight is approaching (Feb. 21st). They had their official weigh-ins today, Gus Hansen weighing in at 80.5 kilos (177 pounds) and Theo weighing in at 86 Kilos (189.5 pounds). Pokerstars.tv filmed the weigh ins and Hansen and Theo answering questions at the press conference. You can watch the video below;
Bookmakers have decided Theo Jørgensen is the favourite over Gus Hansen with odds of 60-40. Theo has been training for the last year whereas Gus has only been training the last 6-7 weeks. Also, Gus just recently had knee surgery and was seen limping around poker tournaments.
The idea for the fight started when Gus Hansen and good friend Theo Jorgensen were playing their regular game of Squash. Gus continued to win and after every point Gus would do "shadow boxing". Theo didn't like that and challenged Gus to a boxing match. Gus accepted and decided it was a good way to promote his new website gushansentv.com. You can watch the live stream video of the boxing match free at 21:00 GMT+1, (3PM EST Time) on Saturday, 21/02/09 on Gus' new site.
