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

High metabolic rate. Sure seems very healthy.
Should get the KO mid to late.

If the training and consumption is the same on Friday as it will be Saturday. Any healthy heavyweight will weigh more at 9pm than 1pm. If ur purposely restricting or cutting water to come in “Light” at a HW weigh in than I’d think it was purely cosmetic, ego, mind games or some other non actual performance reason. I see no other reason for it?

Ive never seen Fury gas out, he is very economical with his output.

Wilder is not really a 12 round fighter, I can see his windmills tiring him out by the 6th round.

All Fury needs to to is jab, hug and lean on Wilder for a UD.

Wilder is in great shape. He's not a fat, lazy slob like many of these heavyweights. Look at Travis Kaufmann, Ortiz's opponent for tomorrow night. That fat@zz should lose 15 or 20 lbs of fat. Fury looks like a tub-O-lard too. Thin is where it's at...Too many gluttonous pigs in these times. Put down the bag of chips and move your a$$es, you lazy cvnts. Wilder is the ideal heavyweight as far as physique is concerned.

Is wilder ill again? Thats why people said he weighed so low against ortiz and looked like ****

I think this actually helps Deontay Wilder. He needs to make this fight a war of attrition in order to wear Fury down.

Let's just face some fa ts and some truth. Fury has not been tested nor pushed to his limits, since his comeback. Wilder is the more conditioned athlete and there's no way Tyson can effectively stick and move for 12 rounds fighting backing up because he eventually he would gert tired and Deontay will stop him.

Fury didnt loose mutch more weight since his last fight but i expect him to be in mutch better shape because there is no weight drain and he seems to have more muscle-mass than last time. Besides the love-handles hes looking good.

Fury has a 40 pound advantage plus he can use the weight better than a guy like Ortiz as hes mutch taller than Ortiz. Hes also mutch faster on his feet than Ortiz. Ortiz is a fine boxer/puncher but slow on his feet and that sucks especially when you face a guy thats mutch taller than you. Fury on the other hand is fast on his feet, fast with his hands and has a huge weight-advantage, i cant wait to see how the fight turns out!

By your own logic, Fury beat a useless guy in Wlad coz why couldn't he break down and KO Jennings like Ortiz did?

See how ****** you sound?

Nope because my logic is not as basic as yours

My logic factors in that Wlad was champ for a decade and a proven top quality fighter.

Ortiz on the other hand is B or C level that has never achieved anything in the amateurs or pro's and showed that by looking clueless against anyone that could move, like Scott and also by getting stopped in his only big fight.

Your way of thinking is too basic to make a direct comparison to specific fights. You have to factor in what they have proven overall. Ortiz hasn't proven to be anything more than a fringe contender.

Interesting point but I’d imagine ordinarily they taper down training in the last week these days

Well it really depends on the fighter and what stage of career their in. Usually high contact training like sparring is completely taken away and things like weight training are wound way down, but many are still working on movement and endurance. Obviously technique, but they are still doing pad and bag work to stay sharp. So yes training is reduced, but they are still going at a pretty high level. And like I said, you have to take into account that they need not only re-hydrate what they have loss in training, but they also have to pre-hydrate for their 12 round fight.
