    No heavy hands means no knockout. No knockout means you need to outbox your opponent. Not sure Wilder can do that.
    Are you suggesting Wilder has somehow compromised his heavy hands cuz of his weight for this fight? I wouldn't agree with that take

    But yea I agree with you on the latter part of your take cuz I can't really see Wilder outboxing Fury.

      Wilder is a freak of explosive power and strength at any healthy weight including 212. He was throwing big Ortiz -- weighing in the 240s -- around the ring like a toy while weighing only 214 and change.

      Just saying. I wouldn't count on Wilder being weak and worthless tomorrow against soft looking Fury.

          All bad. He's too light. Fury will try and pin him to the ropes and lay on him to drain him. The only reason for being that light is wilder must be trying to have a welter weight punch output IMO

            LOL. Fury is soft as an egg. A flubbery, soft, white egg. He ain't pinning nobody to nothing.

              Great in my opinion. He can weigh as much as he wants to and his light weight indicates to me that he trained very hard for this fight. If he didn't over train he should be very sharp with good speed and stamina.

                That has a nice ring to it. Soft flubbery white egg Fury.

                  I think the weight is fine.

                  Even if Wilder was 220, he would still be the much lighter man anyway. So he may as well come in where he feels comfortable.

                    I think it’s bad news for Fury. Wilder’s stamina is probably insane. We’ll see though.

                      That's what I'm thinking
