Explaining Deontay Wilder's "egg weight".

[Combat Talk Radio]

Since it seems a lot on here don't know what that is.

He's likely referring to what's called a Baoding Ball, which in pairs is used to alleviate stress and pain in the hands. They come in many different sizes based on your hands as well as different weights - I believe they go up to 2lbs.

Keep in mind how big Tyson Fury's hands are.

Here's an image of a pair of Baoding Balls.








Now, here's the problem with Wilder's claim. It would be impossible for that to get by the handwrapping and there's simply no way he would have gotten one in the glove during the fight or between rounds with cameras on them.

Also, when you clench a fist holding one of them it's plain obvious, even for hands Tyson Fury's size. Your hand would look round; every picture even that suspect one showing knuckles through the glove shows flat. It's not possible.


So...is there such a thing as an "egg weight"? Technically, yes.

Could Fury have used one? Absolutely not. It's BS.

Also it would break every metacarpal in your hand on a hard punch......not happening!

[W1LL]

Lol, what did Wilder claim?

[MoneyKasha]

Wait so is it floppy gloves or egg weights?

[W1LL]

So Fury cut his hand off and filled the glove with "egg weights"? Anyone who is still a Wilder fan at this point is beyond help.

Fury smuggled ben wa balls in his rectum

Jesus! How? How is this soooooo hard? There is a 100+ yrs worth of historical precedence of what a renowned fighter is to do when they find themselves in the unenviable position Wilder did after getting squashed out. "I was beaten by the better man on the night. I will come back...." That is ALL that was needed. All. He urinated away one of the few opportunities he had to grab a bit of hard earned respect from the vast majority of the sporting world by doing so. Most who disliked the guy would never have thought he'd take that beating without quitting himself and he didn't. He would've earned some begrudging respect. It is just STILL baffling. Where's Robert Stack and the "Unsolved Mysteries" theme song?

As usual revelated is making things more complicated than they have to be.

If you want to explain Egg Weights to people then just post pics of some damn Egg Weights. What's all this baoding balls crap?

Egg Weights = metal weights with finger loops that you can slip on your hands. Boom! Done.

The problem with those is, they're visible on top of the knuckle. Which means you'd see them through the wraps after the fight when the gloves were removed. You didn't.

Nice try doe
