    There have been lots of little things.

    Usyk was acting very keen and interested in Fury's media workrate then he got upset and said he'd seen enough after Fury (purposefully) clinched Sugar Hill. Then Usyk in the presser said "Let your hands do the talking". He knows Fury is clinching him and he dislikes it. He's very much a purist and I've seen him get sloppy in many clinches & breaks because it's not an area of fighting he engages in. A big area of weakness but an area he knows he has to just use his feet to slip out and escape with, hard to do when you're tired and Fury just keeeeps on coming.

    Poor Usyk's cycle got ruined by Fury's cut. He looks like a little boy next to Tyson. Zero muscle mass.

    LOL

    You probably haven't heard then that they got the weight announcement wrong. Usyk is actually not 233 but 223.19 lbs with those jeans and neck chains on so he is around 219-220 lbs. Pretty much his normal weight for the division. He won't be tired by round six 6 like you hoped he would. Fury is back on the menu, mate. He is going down.

    Yeah, I've heard. He's light... but also less muscular than he has ever been at heavyweight.

    PED cycle: ruined.

    WBO, IBF, WBA titles: gone.

    ESB message board: shambles.

    I can't wait!!!

    Same here as glory hunters and fanboys tend to disappear after their favourite fighters are upset. I'm old enough to have witnessed the Holyfield-Tyson bout, and what the Fury fans do now is exactly what Tyson's fans did back in the day. But then the Real Deal beat the breaks off Tyson and all the loudmouths were taught a lesson. After Usyk beats Fury, the online boxing communities will be much more tolerable, with the Fury fans either leaving or quieting down. Usyk is literally doing a community service by beating Fury.

    Fury had been very composed by his own standards until the weigh in but is clearly now in fight mode.

    Intriguing contest in the making this one.

    Yeah, I initially thought I misheard Buffer but replayed it to confirm that he def. said 233 1/2 lb.

    Maybe Olek slipped him a tenner to add the extra 10 lbs.

    Buffer earns huge dollars but he’ll still take any easy coin he can.

    Fury looked soft, to be honest. Granted, he never had tons of muscle definition, but now it looks like he lost quite a lot of muscle mass as well. He had that kind of 'skinny fat' appearance, like when your overweight colleague from the office, Joe has a New Year's resolution to lose weight, drops 40 lbs in a few weeks, and while he's happy with the weight loss, he looks like his skin is too baggy around his body. Fury looked exactly like this, especially when he raised both his arms. His midsection and chest area seemed very drained and lacked muscle mass.

    I'm not going anywhere, Mr. Team Fury. Let's see if you will still be here after Fury gets knocked out tomorrow.

    Of course I will, I've been here a fair while now I'm not going to leave if Fury loses lol. The difference between you and me is that you're a troll and I'm just myself. Look how invested you are in this fight. You're a grown man, it's not healthy. I'm team Fury all day but I don't hate Usyk, I'm a fan of his, he is a fantastic boxer and deserves the upmost respect. If he wins it's a great win for him and he goes down as one of the best. Guaranteed you will be banned before long anyway so it's all good.
