Comments Thread For: Wilder Weighs In Even Lower Than For Ortiz Fight; Fury 256.5

A couple pounds here or there is not going to change the outcome of this one. Wilder's probably just been training like a maniac, meanwhile Fury's people likely focused on tactics and didn't feel the need to get him down to the 240s.

This is such an interesting match. This is what happens when guys fight each other before everyone figures out how a fight's going to go. I have no ****ing clue who wins tomorrow and neither does anyone else; may the best man win.

Fat boy vs. bird legs. Fury may just out big him. Grab and hold, push him into the ropes. Stay close so those windmills don't land.

Drug testing makes a lot of guys turn skinny -- especially if they were skinny to begin with.

Fury is in pristine condition, fine tuned like a formula one racing car and ready to box the face off wilder like a box of chocolates on Easter Sunday.

Wow, you're right. I think it's 50-50 now. This might be the fight that shows people size does matter.

I think it was Breadman that said when Wilder gets serious he gets lighter. Hopefully this fight lives up to the hype

I noticed it too. Love handles, man boobs and a big belly shows he's be training at least five, ten minutes a day, right?. And for Fury that's big-time training.

Im not wilders biggest fan but i dont think weight makes any difference he clearly has unreal power and height and reach, he doesnt rely on brute strength or anything like jab jab grab so it doesnt matter as much to him

He gets 100% of his power from his legs; in particular, his calves.

New one, still processing it. Idk, maybe with practice and the perfect delivery.

"Yo, boy! Ima box yo face off...like a box o' chocolates...on Easter Sunday!!!

I don't believe Wilder is concerned in the least with his weight. His punching power is a result of leverage and the speed with which the punch is thrown (much like a tightly coiled spring). I also don't believe Fury will be able to lay on Wilder effectively as Deontay seems to prefer fighting from a distance until he lands a few big shots. Also Wilder's quickness makes laying on him difficult. Looks to me like this fight shapes up for a while at least as a boxing match and that should be interesting. My prediction is Fury gasses out in the later rounds due to the pace of the fight and Wilder catches up to him (much like with Ortiz). Then it is fight over.

Cant knock the guy even if he does at time seem to have a strange style. Should be a very interesting match up.
