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

1. He was wearing clothes, heavy clothes. 2. Usyk is NOT Wilder so I really hope Fury isn't banking on that strategy. 3. If he indeeds weighs anywhere near that weight, he better get Usyk out of there early, if he doesn't, he is a big fat moving target who will have less in the gas tank.

So many people put Usyk on a pedestal and say he is a superman but GOAT he is not. Fury coming in as an underdog plays right up my alley and I'll take Fury to win and a 2nd bet that he K.O.s Usyk in round 10.

Put your money where your mouth is.

Either he's still trying to throw off Usyk and he's loaded up some weights in his clothes.

Or he's put on a schitload of weight.

I either see a man trying too hard to gain some kind of edge, or a man who hasn't tried hard enough in camp.

While Usyk will still be Usyk. Focused on the task at hand and not worried about what Fury is or has been up to.

Chris Areola once weighed in wearing a weight vest. It turned out to be about 20 lbs after he let everyone in on the joke and re-weighed without it.

Yes he is Vrussian

He thinks he can weight bully usyk like he did wilder. Usyk has great inside fighting, has a good defence and better stamina to deal with that and all of that leaning fury is going to try to do.

I am very interested in how the first few rounds play out. Fury dominated the early going in the last fight. I am sure Usyk and his team are confident the longer this goes the more it favors them, but those early rounds are very dangerous for the smaller man.

By the way, this undercard is fairly underwhelming to me.

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

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

Totally agree - that said I wanted to see if Fury has slimmed down - if he has some leg muscles - evidence he might be able to match Usyk's stamina - but a weigh-in wearing clothes - total farce - guess I'll wait for the ring walk
