    Nice try doe
    I took no stance on that.

    I'm just here trying to clue you in on what an Egg Weight actually is.

      And what I'm saying to you is, put yourself in the mind of a cheater.

      What you posted is impossible to put on or take off at any point because of the knuckle. Wilder's not that damn ******.

      A Baoding ball (going off of what Wilder claimed) could THEORETICALLY be slipped to Fury between rounds and slipped back at fight end much more easily.

      And before you ask, I speak from experience. Dudes used to do it for regular fights before people got sawft and ran for guns.

        Wilder specifically mentioned Egg Weights. He said the side of his head swelled up in an Egg Weight form.

        You obviously didn't know what those were. Now you do.

          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.
          You sound dumb as hell tbh

              Last time.

              Don't duck it this time.

              Explain how Fury put one of those on.

                That's not my point and never has been.

                Just admit that you didn't know what Egg Weights were and move along.

                Baoding balls.

                  And again, they're not possible to have been used.

                  And again, what I'm saying is, Wilder more likely meant Baoding balls.

                  But you again duck the question.

                    The Egg Weights concept is simple. We use dense metals to keep the size and shape small like an egg. They are palm-centered to keep your natural motion and body flow during any movements.

                      And again, if people would read, I'm talking about what's most likely to really have been used. I'm waiting for someone to explain how Fury could have ever put one on.
