    The weight difference between both is more or less the same from the first fight. I don't know if he will benefit in carrying so much weight when he has been effective around 220.

    But that gain will help him deal with Fury's extra weight. He if starts wrestling with Fury he is going to gas out.

      Fury's weight gain seems to mean more imo, like he is actually planning to do what he said he would. If he is there to stand and trade with Wilder and just hope to bomb him out, than Fury is truly bat **** insane

        He gassed?
        Scored a knockdown in the 12th round.
        If he was so gassed why didn't Fury put him down or knock him out?

But by doing that he got caught absolutely flush and did very well to get up. He won't fight Wilder that recklessly. He will go for the KO, but in a calculated way. Very interesting fight.

          I remember in the first fight, after both knockdowns Fury had success walking Wilder down, being aggressive and closing the distance, whilst still being mindful defensively. That way could be the key to success, as Wilder does need some leverage for his best power shots. If you take away Wilder's pocket of space, he is less effective, but of course their are dangers to this tactic, but that's the one I think he'll take and i think he will win by KO.

          The problem I see for him walking to Wilder early on is he's easy to hit if Wilder can time him right. Its a dangerous thing to do imo

            I thought he looked great and very lean. He must have been sick like he said he was when he weighed 209. His weight looked perfect with all muscle and no extra fat. Fury kept his shirt on. I wonder why?

              Maybe he should gas even more and knock Fury down for a 15 count in the last round.

                Off topic they booed the hell out of Wilder at the weigh in. I hope the English fans won't sing awful songs all fight but I am sure they will.

                  Yep. Masochistic. Wilder's weight gain boils down to two things; 1) Punch Resistance and 2) Punching Power.

                  He's going to be far more patient this time around, just like he was against Ortiz in their second fight.

                  And we saw how that one turned out. 👍

                    He looks in excellent shape. No fat; None whatsoever. He's going for the KO big time. I thought in the last fight he may have over trained by coming in so light under 212 lbs.

                    He looked very weak to me and gassed badly late in that fight but still managed to drop a man on the canvas who outweighed him by some 40 odd pounds or more but now he looks more energetic and stronger.

                    I predicting a fourth round knockout of Fury if he hadn't tapped out before then.

                      During the fight, and AFTER the fight, when their fighter loses. Just like when Floyd knocked Ricky Hatton into the ring post. Remember that one, you Limey casuals? I sure do.

                      Drunken hooligan British boxing fans are THE WORST. Most moronic fanbase on the planet.
