    He stays outside, so he doesn't need the mass. He knocks people out so he doesn't need more strength.

    All he gets from this is a loss of speed. And speed is his number one weapon.

    Meanwhile it's hard to judge Fury's weight. His body composition is so different to Wilder that he could even be fitter at a higher weight. And I thought he looked pretty good.
    It’s hard to see why he’s come in heavier. One would think that those closest to him have their reasons because from the outside it doesn’t seem to make much sense

      Logic says lighter = faster which in this fight would be a good thing. I don't see the benefit however if he lands the KO punch then we'll be saying...'good show'

        It wont have a negative affect at all. Hes been 228 and 229 for a bunch of his fights.

          If he doesnt take out Fury relatively quickly then this will only be a hindrance, he will likely get tired even faster than the last fight and against a much heavier Fury (who will likely put his weight on him and drain him physically) this probably isn't a good idea from Wilder

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

              The empty can rattles the most.
