Usyk is probably 228….he had jeans on and ***ellery and trainers on so he is about 7lbs heavier than he normally weighs which I think was to light for fury…..it’s a good weight for usyk as he has bit more weight behind his shots…fury is lighter as well so let’s see tomorrow who comes out as the undisputed champion.
im going for usyk to win tomorrow I just think fury has never faced anybody as complete a fighter as usyk and it will show tomorrow

Unlikely, this was a ceremonial weigh in, they'd already weighed in "properly" this will have changed a good few peoples opinion on the outcome...

Usyk could've made a mistake here and it's ironic a guy who's been adamant he's in Furys head is making a conscious choice to come in 12 pounds above his consistent 221...

I am so sure that Fury has been approached by Hollywood. I think he's had the latest in liposuction, no more hedgehogs. Too pretty?

[Smash]

hold on so its the heavy guy v the light guy but the light guy is heavy and the heavy guy is light

anything could happen now

How is he coming in "light?" he's weighed in the 260s the vast majority of his career including his debut.

In fact, he's weighed in the 270s as much as he has the 240s which is to say rarely ever, you could argue 260s is his optimum weight.

Fury is still skinny fat as usual, if anything the extra weight would have helped him. Picking Usyk by late tko with Fury stopped standing

I think Usyk coming in heavy is a mistake. This could take away some of speed and endurance especially when fury tries to lean on him and tie him up. Wilder tried coming in heavy and didn’t work. Fury just us to much size and his opponent trying to come in and match that is not a good idea. Stick to what has been successful throughout your career and what got you to where you are today. On the other hand fury coming in light will help his cardio and he has looked pretty quick in some recent footage. I’m taking fury to win. I know people say ohh the Ngannou fight he looked bad but guess what, did usyk look all that good against chisora? People forget about that.

Big mistake by Usyk. What was he thinking.
