Time for War now baby!

Sneaking su****ion we are going to get a fury wilder 3 quality fight here lads

[P to the J]

Weights are pretty similar to before. AJ a few pounds heavier but not really a significant difference. He always looks in good condition in the 240’s, so not much of a talking point

Usyk basically the same as before. I knew he wasn’t bulking up like people said, why would he? He’s too smart to start sacrificing his speed and agility against a stiff fighter like AJ. He knows he can hurt AJ, so he doesn’t need added bulk for that.

Looking forward to it. Going for Usyk mid to late stoppage this time but hope it’s a good fight and we see a less timid AJ. Not sure we will once he takes a few shots.

In the end, turns out quite a few, especially me, were suckered into weight gain talk.

If anything, all this goes to show is Usyk is actually a huge man, despite “size difference” dominating discourse before the first one

It didn't make sense how Usyk openly, understandably lost 10+ lbs in a month of the war. Yet somehow gained that back, AND another 10 lbs largely in muscle, in a few months.

Nonsense really, you just don't see that happening with athletes and the body, outside of peds.

What? Usyk is at same weight as first fight. He’s not 10 lbs heavier.

Usyk by decision.

My prediction is Joshua will come to bully Usyk and win by KO. If he is gun shy, however, Usyk wins UD again.

Where've you been for 2 weeks?

There's been articles, quotes, interviews from Amir Khan, Joshua, Sky presenters, Johnny Nelson, many others all over, post weigh in reactions - about how much bigger Usyk looks in photos, videos and from their observations.

My comment above, was that it was all a bit odd because to regain 10lbs lost weight whilst in a war, then gain much more, seemed far fetched.

Callum Smith has had quite the downfall. From 168lb champ to fighting against a 79lb concentration camp escapee.

Ramla Ali is also taking on quite the challenge, as a 56lb woman (child?) fighting against someone 123lbs.

What do you mean regain much more?
I don’t know and don’t really care about how Usyk looks and how people interpreted it. He weighed in today at the same weight as in the first fight. So he lost 10lbs and then regained 10lbs.
