    I’m baffled by Usyk coming in nearly a stone heavier than usual, why?
    What gain can there possibly be from this surely he’s got to rely on speed and movement and this can only impair that?
    Baffling.

    Maybe to feel more physically substantial in close, clinching, grappling etc.

    You're central time bro so PPV starts at 11am for you. Fury/usyk Ringwalks are around 5-5:30 pm.

    He hasn't, they read the scale wrong.

    The video shows he's 223.

    But that has to been confirmed anywhere, just "talk".

    Surely it would have to be announced.

    6pm Dallas time.

    2am here is Riyadh. I'll be sure to evaluate the round card girls but they will be covered in black from head to toe.

    You csn literally see it in the POV video. The scale reads 223 and the guy who reads it calls "223" but it's misheard and repeated as 233.

    That's a ceremonial weigh in most of the time.

    If the weight was read out wrong straight away you'd have uysks camp (who will know exactly what he weighed walking on stage) shouting out and questioning the scales. They didn't.

    You could bet on the weights via some bookmakers so for clarity a statement/correction should have been issued if it's incorrect but we've had none of that.

    It's literally being reported by multiple media outlets.

    I'm not sure why you're being so defiant about this.

    ya like I alluded to, as you grow into a man youll find yourself more interested in what fighters do inside the ring than outside of it. No worries, it will come in time.

    Ya Ill take that over whatever the hell Fury was doing against the UFC fighter while making boxing a laughing stock. Some of the most gargabe boxing Ive ever seen from a reigning world champion in my life... eeesh.

    But like you said, to each their own.


    Cheers.

    Damn !

    I might have two redo my probabilities in the other thread.

    I'm wondering why Usyk is coming in at an alltime high weight and I don't like what it portends.
