NEXT INTERVIEW CONDUCTED - AUSTRALIA - SATURDAY 3am September 4, 2004 (EST)
AA: Nader Weigh in at 72.110kg & Arthur Weigh in at 71.800kg
After the Weigh in we went in with the WBA official’s and had the rules read to us.
TC: How did the German look ?
AA: His a bit shorter then Nader, but we are not really concerned about looks, Mick’s just got his fighting plan with Nader and his going to stick to it , I wont say much about that plan at this stage, as you know. But we will stick to the plan & we will re-assess the plan a round or two into the fight.
TC: After Weigh in Meal ?
AA: Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice, Lettuce, tomato , some chicken kebab’s ( breast’s of chicken ) and some mince meat, we have come out to this same place day-in-day out in Essen Germany its called The Tiramide Sausalito House and they have looked after us, they have treated us really well here and we keep coming back , we have a couple of followers here already so its really good.
TC: The German is Shorter then Nader, is he solid ?
AA: His a little bit shorter, nothing much in it weight wise, his arms are long, I don’t know if there is much difference in the reach. But like I said we have the fighting plan, Mick & Nader Have got a fighting Plan and we are sticking to that.
A FEW WORD'S FROM NADER !
TC: How are you Nader?
NH: Hay Ty How are you mate ?
TC: Good thanks Nader. How You Feeling After the Weigh in ?
