    233

    Injury or weird desperation bulk tactic which will not pay off

    Good luck in the rematch

    Kind of sad. Was hoping to see him in top knick...

    I don't see why he'd bulk in their first fight given he has a rematch. It shouts injury to me.

    Edit: FALSE ANNOUCEMENT. He was 223.

    As a Fury fan you should know not to rush to judgement; people were saying Fury was fat coming into Wilder II and that he would be steamrolled.

    Usyk only just about holds 220 at pace

    He can't hold 233 at pace with Fury leaning all over him.

    Let’s get him ****ed up early, no reason for a rematch.

    Usyk had jeans + big ass chain on.

    Probably closer to 226-228

    226-228 is still too heavy for Usyk

    Always said that both of these guys are over their hill long time ago. Usyk has hid his aging cracks very well....but they are finally appearing.

    Prime Usyk is 2018 and Fury had a last gasp at prime in 2020

    This fight will start strong and turn into a messy slog late with two aging extremely motivated men.

    This has me slightly worried unless Usuk has a strategy to just KO Tyson or he's performing just as well in all the endurance tests as he did at 221.

    I dont think that taking a strategy to KO fury is a good decision.....
    Even if you can ko him, I think that it is more profitable to try to UD him. I mean, if you can KO fury, you can UD him. The other way around is not true.

    Most likely the latter. I think Usyk has had this weight plan in mind since their first opportunity to fight years ago. A weight specifically for Fury. He and his team know something we don't. Can't wait until tomorrow.

    Short, snappy combinations.

    If Fury cannot enforce rugged confrontation via sheer size and durability, he is not outboxing an elite southpaw. That, and he doesn't get to slap jab to steal rounds.

    As they say in the wrestling business, you've been worked. There's a reason he weighed in with jeans on.

    Literally the only post you have ever made that isnt total rubbish. So I will be generous and award you a like, now keep it up and you might get another one son...

    But there's a chance he had a knee brace under those Jeans

    Unless Usyk knows the fix is in lol and he's not leaving it up to the judges
