Fury was 262 last night. If he came in at 273 like he did against Wilder, that 11 lbs of muscle wouldn't slow him down so much as put more thudding shots on Usyk, who struggled with Dubois's power in spots.
Usyk already had to move around a lot in the early rounds and nearly burned himself out. That's why the mid rounds, he was forced to take off to keep up that pace for the late round rallies he did that helped him win the fight.
Fury was clearly able to hurt him last night. Comfortably even. A little heavier means Fury punches harder and Usyk's shots have less impact. Usyk would have to move around even more to avoid them, causing him to eventually burn himself out and/or allow himself to get hit. (ala Plant vs Benavidez).
