Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury weigh in 55lbs apart for heavyweight title rematch

The Gypsy King always looking for an angle! A few lead fishing weights... Everyone expecting a fat Gypsy only to see a less fat Gypsy.

And if he wore a weight vest to artificially inflate the weight, maybe he'll pull a Wilder and complain about how his legs were shot from his own antics.

Nothing more dangerous than a fat Gypsy transformed into a less fat Gypsy, except maybe a fat gypsy with a father wanting to punch Lurch in the face. Like fighting two angry gypsies! Usyk needs to hire that guy who kept chasing father John, when he claimed he was the baddest man fighting over 50 years old.

A big guy with that skill, Fury in focus should be a bit too much for Usyk in the rematch.

Looked to me that fury was wearing stuff to inflate his weight, he might be 8-10lbs bigger than the first fight, nothing dramatic.

It's for the best, at his age I don't think he can handle dieting down again, it's best to come in weighing what feels comfortable.

Still picking Usyk as it's the logical pick, but if fury approaches the fight correctly he will have a chance.

On the contrary... A heavier Fury will be slower at everything ... Those extra 20 lbs will be factor late in the fight... That's a good sign for Usyk...

I liked it when BoxingScene used to post the actual weigh-in pics.

The new ownership is not doing a good job with that.

Real weight or not, Fury needs a bigger gas tank to match Usyk's cruiserweight pace...Fury is quick and mobile for a HW but he still looks slower than Usyk.

It's the only ball game left in town for Tyson Fury to play. He has to try and rough Usyk up in order to stop him and win the fight. Now it's time to either put up shut for the "Gypsy King".

It's a must that he take more risks in order to win. He is still going to lose this fight however; By way of knockout. However, he can at least say he lost with both his honor and dignity intact.

Mentally he may be strong but physically he is a lot weaker now.

He doesn't need a bigger gas tank, in fact he can't get one, he was at optimal fitness in the first fight, that's as good as it gets for Fury at this age

It's more important to try and manage the pace of the fight, take the center and set the pace, you'll never out cardio Usyk so you need to bring the pace of the fight down by being imposing and dictating the fight.

First fight I lumped on usyk and thought fury had only a punchers chance , this one I'm only betting on fury because he is good value , fury for me earned my respect after that fight because I honestly never gave him credit like the others but he was way better then I thought he could be , I expect good competition in this one, looking forward to this one
