Comments Thread For: Weights: Tyson Fury 277-Pounds, Deontay Wilder 238-Pounds

Two main questions after the weigh-in and the talk of Wilder benching. ..

How do Wilder’s legs carry the extra weight?

Do Wilder’s shoulders/arms tire at all from the added muscle?

Ya wilder should of worked on his legs instead of his upper body .

Fury pulled an Andy Ruiz with shirt on weigh-in look, but can you blame him?

Simple math. Expect a lot of late money on Wilder. I had some doubts but am convinced that Fury is not nearly the almost perfect machine he was last time around. Given his recent Covid experience, an extra load of 20 pounds with a middle that he intentionally covered today and ranting that sounded more like actual anxiety than WWE ravings, he may not be agile or focused enough to evade the incoming if Deontay can hang tough for the first six stanzas. Forget any lack of boxing acuity in this one. Usyk was greater than we imagined and it's quite possible that Fury is simply much too over confident. "Timber" or a close decision.

Fury is 4 lbs heavier than the last fight, Wilder is 7 lbs heavier. Not that much of a difference other than of course the 40 lb weight advantage for Fury.

Bro, Fury was wearing full clothing; shirt, pants, underwear, socks, shoes, and a hat. Please believe, his whole outfit weighed at least 8+ lbs! Look however deep into it as you want, Fury is about the same weight. Just be ready for a great fight tomorrow night. Let's go!

It's official. Fury has lost this fight. Deontay is in his head. He has lost all of his confidence now. He appeared very tight and tense to me at the weigh in.

I wouldn't be surprised if he quits or take a dive tomorrow night. He's nearly on the verge of shitting his pants against Deontay Wilder. The Bronze Bomber silence has him both spooked and shooked this time around. Tyson fears retribution from Deontay..

He fears what Wilder may have in store for him in this trilogy bout. On the other hand, Wilder appears very calm, hungry and confident. When he says he is gonna fuck him up this time he really means it.

I totally agree. There is no question who the better boxer is but from the day this was announced I said that Fury won’t be able to get up for it mentally. People also underestimate the gypsy mindset in this, it would not surprise me at all if from the moment it got legally pushed on him he and his close family just said ‘so we’ll win at the bookies instead, go down in the 3rd and you never fight again’, there’s lots of ways to win, all the fighting for pride stuff is bs, you can’t buy your whole family houses with pride.

Can't disagree with this at all. Last time I thought it was a bad idea for both to come in as heavy as they did...but I thought it would adversely affect Fury more. I was obviously very wrong.

I can't really make anything of these weights and the last weigh-in I used as a predicted was Kid Galahad and Jazza ****ens. Thought Galahad looked too weight-drained and sluggish at the weigh in and went with Jazza. I was wrong then too.

I can safely say I have no idea what will happen. Let's just hope it's an entertaining fight, whomever wins.

I have to lean towards fury, that’s the logical call. However I think momentum has swung towards wilder but I just can’t see wilder breaking his bad habits of his title defence years. If he were to double his output and force Tyson backwards and get in close behind the jab then he bludgeons fury. But the safe bet is Tyson simply being too cunning for him

Not really sure what wilders plan is,but I see no benefit in him coming in heavier this time.

there are loads of benefits to it....he was under size for a 6ft 7’ fighter....he needed a bigger frame to handles furys advantage in weight and bullying better.....at least that gives him better chance of keeping fury from ragdolling him.

I agree, and a lot of that late money will come in from the UK and Ireland, the man gonna stink the place out with a ghost punch loss and Finkel will never promote another fight.

Wilder actually has a big frame, bigger than Joshua 'At-least in the upper body'.

Lower body & core ? Well I think Wilder has strengthened his foundation a little 'Which I think is the main area, that he needed to improve'.

If Wilder is to win this fight, he needs to survive until the mid-late rounds 'Nobody knows how Kronk Fury at 270 + pounds does over the distance'.

I don't want to see fans from either of these sh**ty fighters making excuses after a loss tomorrow. That goes for you garbage azz wilder fans and you garbage azz fury fans. I don't want to hear it.
