    It was plastic not leather. Fury too trashy for leather.

    Fury probably a bit under 275 in trunks and Usyk around 220.

    Thank you. There is no point in ceremonials for heavy anyway

    Standard leather jacket weighs around 4 lbs. Fury's wearing a huge one that probably weighs about 5 lbs. Also he had multiple layers of clothes underneath that jacket + pants, belt and shoes lol. He probably weighs in the low 270's.

    So Fury pretty much at the weight he was for Wilder 2. Likely that he has a similar game plan as well. Should make for an exciting and action packed fight. Think there's a pretty good chance it doesn't go the distance this time around, and if anyone is getting stopped it's Fury.

    Sure thing; altough before Wilder 2 i tought it was Tyson who was getting stopped as well. The mad lad has some cojones trying to do this with Usyk; arguably more dangerous and Fury seems to be getting more easy to hit with every fight.

    The difference there was 58 lbs according to Boxrec.

    Not sure if coming in this heavy is the right move for Tyson, his cardio will almost certainly suffer and I can’t recall a performance he’s had near that weight where he hasn’t looked slow and sluggish (aside from Wilder 2, but that’s apples and oranges compared to Usyk)

    The problem with Fury’s recorded weight is that they weighed in earlier in the day without cameras and the 281 pounds is what was read out irrespective of the later public weigh in which is ceremonial. I am more convinced that Usyk stops him within rounds 9 or 10. Fury’s tactics are not difficult to decipher as he will try and do what he did in the 2nd Wilder fight but Usyk is not Wilder.

    Yeah, Fury doesn't seem to believe much in "like last time, just a bit better". I for sure thought he'd think that way against Wilder, since the draw was controversial and Fury not even a year into his comeback. Same but better felt like a natural way to go under those circumstances, but he showed cojones in laying it on the line instead.

    This time I've always felt that he's going to try and take a more aggressive route. Since he did so against Wilder, but also for psychological reasons. Not changing the game plan is the same as admitting that he just wasn't good enough first time around, but if he wins with another game plan he can always put away the first defeat to that he just fought the wrong fight. Like Leonard against Duran, but with the opposite switch.

    I was corrected earlier that only the non heavyweights do ceremonials.

    I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but Fury is a serious guy... that focused guy always has to be taken seriously... discarding him would be a grave mistake.
