    Wlad's weight is perfect imo. He looked rather slow, not very explosive and lethargic against Jennings and showed signs of pretty significant muscle atrophy. Just look at his arms and shoulders vs jennings. His weight for that fight was simply too low at this stage of his career. He weighed the same as he does now vs Pulev and has regained the lost muscle mass and seems explosive from the sparring footage and pad work. If you look at the pad work before Jennings he didn't look very explosive.

    Wlad looked even more muscular and stronger vs Tony Thompson 2 and Pianeta at 249 pounds, but that's a bit too much and he looked a bit slow and stiff. In other words, CHEF has been on point in this camp.

    Fury is in the shape of his life, but it looked like the gravity of the situation has started to get to him at the weigh in. His refusal to shake wlad's hand then shaking it anyway doesn't really radiate confidence, while Wladimir looked really confident and calm.

    Doesn't really matter come fight night, but Fury might be starting to feeling the pressure right now and the fact that all his trash talk and bravado doesn't seem to have affected Wlad one bit might not bode well for his confidence come saturday.

    That being said, I think Fury has certain qualities that can cause Wlad some problems.

    Fury looking the best he has ever looked. No excuses Bri****s, he is young, he is 8 cm taller with longer reach, he is in his prime, undefeated (not counting his 8th pro fight), on a hot streak and with extra time to train. Going against a 40 year old man, visibly past his prime, self trained (Banks, I mean common), with a newborn child and millions in the bank to help him lose the edge and motivation.

    Wlad by a highlight reel KO.

    Good weight for Wlad. I thought he was too thin for Jennings at 241. At this point in his career and age I think 245 is just right.

    Most of the civilized world uses the metric system, it's not our fault that UK and Americans are too stupid to figure out an internationally used system. How do you figure a pound or stone is more correct? They are all units of mass.. Take a physics class....

    You must be in the middle of some online diploma mill degree, because you clearly don't know the difference, you should ask for your money back.

    They are indeed all units of mass, go ask your youtube professors.

    Fury apparently 2+ inches taller, looks flabby compared to Wlad (most people would though) but despite that only weighs .5kg more.... Wlad is carrying much more lean mass going by that. I'd be worried if I were Fury, good thing he seems confident - he will need as little distraction from the task for trying to stay relevant in the fight as possible.

    Any my point stands that most of the world uses the metric system, so maybe the UK should get with the program and s**** their ridiculous system that >90% of the world doesn't recognize, use or understand.
