It turned into an arms race to make sure Fury didn’t gain too much of a strength advantage. Wilders conditioning won’t be what it was. Doesn’t matter because they both armed themselves for an early KO.
Thoughts on Wilder 231 lbs opinions?

Both fighters believe they can bully each other, that is why they have both increased in weight etc
Who has gained the most functional weight? That will be displayed on fight night.
Tyson Fury is not 'Dancing and stinging' in this fight, he will fight Wilder similar to how he fought Steve USS Cunningham.Comment

He's fought at 229 twice before. 231 isn't much more. About 11 pounds more than against Ortiz.
He looked fit on the scale, shouldn't be an issue for him.Comment

He doubts his power and knows Fury can take his punches and get back up and dominate him.
The extra weight is because he feels he needs it to knock Fury out.
But will it slow him down: Yes
And will it drain his energy: Yes
He will have extra power though, but he has to land it, and Fury being bigger and fitter himself, will be able to absorb it better if he does land.Comment

The dude is 6'8...I think 230 is a great weight for him.
Interested to see if Fury can wear Wilder down with the 40 pound weight advantage...could be a great memorable fight if he ends up wearing on Wilder and negating his power that way...should be a fun fightComment
