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

[MC Hammer]

Wilder is going for speed and will be going back foot. He's gona try and keep distance.

This is gona be a chess match. Fury actually does worse against lighter, quicker guys so it might work to his advantage?

If they tie-up and Fury gets close he will ragdoll Wilder.

Interesting fight this.

Wilder threw Ortiz across the ring remember. He's probably as physically strong as these guys, hits harder and is faster. I don't think a pound or 5 matters with him because he's pretty much at peak condtion from what we've seen

He was making a joke.

And heavyweights are heavyweights. They don’t rehydrate

Yea, I get the point since they aren't cutting weight to make weight. Makes sense to me.

Yeah

He was lighter for the Wlad fight but he had actually been ill leading up to it and lost weight and didn't put it back on.

Fury is good at this weight i think. People are getting confused with his excess skin from his weight loss and think he looks flabby. He actually looks pretty solid if you see his chest and arms.

He's never going to look ripped. If he's around 255-260, that means he's in shape.

100% spot on. As you say, he'll never be ripped, and especially after losing 10 stone and having a lot of loose skin still. The AJ fanboys make judgements based on comparisons to a bodybuilding body alone which is hilarious.

This will be the first time in a long long time that he's come into camp on weight as well which I think will help massively. Even for the Wlad fight he had to lose 80-90lbs and has had to do that throughout his career.

Can't wait for this fight. Hoping Fury pulls it off.

Wilder's weight doesn't matter. It is something people that hate him throw out there. He is a very fit athlete, very fast for a heavyweight, great stamina, and much stronger than people think....legs included.

He has a great jab when he decides to use it. His work to Fury's body is going to be the key though along with the jab. If he doesn't do either he loses.

Fury is going to KO Wilder too damn heavy ! too big too heavy Fury by KO!

[AdonisCreed]

Wilder should drop to cruiserweight and fight Usyk IF he is successful tomorrow!!

It does seem like a wide margin. I think whats really impressive how he can generate such force with that stature.

Also, if Fury with that size decides to unload bombs..it can get real interesting.

That's a pretty decent assessment!

[Jewish-Reptile]

212 must be less than what Usyk weighed fight night against Bellew surely ?

[BigZ44]

The weight won't matter in this fight because Fury is such a shell of himself, but Wilder will get manhandled by Joshua if he comes in around the same weight in that matchup
