Wilder vs Usyk

Make it happen

Usyk been talking **** about Wilder too

[Bronx23]

Nah it was known before the fight. Actually days before the fight.

So he's sick again this time around is what youre saying? Cuz thats why he said he came in light against Ortiz.

BTW I don't think there's anything wrong with him coming in light. I just took the "I was lighter 'cause I was sick" thing as an excuse for not looking as dominant in the fight.

Him coming in lighter both times is strategic. They knew in the Ortiz fight that Ortiz would be stalking and they wanted to be able to use the ring and tire him out with quick feet. This time they want to be light on the feet cuz they know they'll be chasing Fury all night or however long it lasts.

Usyk is the man

but at this point, Wilder stops Usyk

not because he is a better fighter, because he is a better heavyweight

not sure if Wilder lands his best punch on Fury, but pretty sure he eventually lands that punch on Usyk

Stick man will never be heavy because he constantly smokes weed. Fury should of come in 10 pounds lighter. Pick-em odds fight to me.

[Bronx23]

those birdlegs got even thinner..great,fury by KO!

The thought of wilder with big powerful legs of say Tyson or Holyfield is a scary thought. Those punches would be even stronger.

That being said Wilders legs don't look like they belong on his body lol it looks almost like a deformity. I'm suprised he's never been injured carrying his upper half on those tooth picks dude has no calves at all

[Illmatic94]

they need a super heavyweight division. Wilder can fight Usyk right now.

Dumbest thing I every heard lol where in the world did u get the idea that smoking weed prevents you from being heavy.

Wilder does not come in heavy, we know that

I would guess that he is in the best shape of his life

we saw with Cotto..... he fought Geale at 157, but he weighed 153..... and then he fought Canelo at 155, but he weighed 153

you come in at your best fighting weight..... excess weight does not matter, because it does not help

thinking that a few extra pounds will make him a little stronger/sturdier is flawed logic..... and the same with Fury..... I think he will be fit and ready for 12

It makes sense. He was his heaviest against Areola and has been dropping pounds since then. Pretty sure he was around 225 against Areola? Seems sluggish though.

There’s no minimum weight so if he has maximum power at 199 so be it.

He was making a joke.

And heavyweights are heavyweights. They don’t rehydrate

That's not exactly accurate. Big George Forman has said on many occasions that he came in lighter for the weigh in then ate two giant steaks, potatoes and bread to put back on weight. I don't know if you've ever trained at a high level, but that in it of it self reduces the water in your body, at a certain point you are losing far more water than you can replenish. So to a certain extent almost every boxer, even Heavyweights re-hydrate after they weigh in. You also have to take in to account the amount of fluids they are going to lose during a 12 round fight.

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

Come on man, Wilder landed a right before that, then was swinging while they were in the clinch. Wilder threw a dazed and already stumbling Ortiz to the ground, using his momentum after numerous rabbit punches to the head!

He ain't throwing Fury about lol



Edit: he was also visibly tired in the 10th round.
