Fury v Wilder - Staples Center, Los Angeles 1/12/18

[El Kabong]

Deontay Wilder 212 & 1/2

[El Kabong]

I'd imagine Wilder is lighter than normal because he's looking for endurance and going deep in the fight....Fury is a bit heavy, maybe he's coming to drop bombs and try to chin Deontay.


Who knows

[El Kabong]

So no one cares?



21 pages, the weigh in, final face to face.......nothin?

No final predictions?

[Mark TKO]

What the fuck was that mask all about ?

Fury looks ten years younger today

Wilder is not a super heavyweight. He is only 212. That’s crazy. He’s probably not any heavier than many cruiserweights. I wonder if he could sweat down another 12 pounds.

He always wears the mask...I don't know I don't read too much into it

Shaving the beard and shedding a few dozen pounds will do that

Deontay is pretty damned skinny....he's like a heavyweight Tommy Hearns or Paul Williams.





Do you fellas think their weights impact their strategies?

[TitoFan]

I think it may be as simple as what they're comfortable at. No obscure strategies.... no hidden weight-related tactics. That's the uniqueness about the HW division. It's open-ended. Deontay as Lyle said is a skinny HW, much like a HW Tommy Hearns. Fury like putting on the weight. Yes, he may feel he can use it to surprise Deontay with power but it's probably Fury just settling in to where he feels comfortable. He's a big man, and out of boxing he'll probably balloon up to the mid 300's for sure. Fascinating this size difference. It's not like one's tall and the other short. More like skinny versus borderline fat. Crossing my fingers it'll live up to the hype. Actually hoping it exceeds it, because many boxing insiders don't expect much.

[Primo Carnera]

Wilder is a stone too light, Fury is half a stone too heavy.
This will end with the referee making a controversial stoppage , jumping in as Wilder’s arms are flailing and hardly any of the shots will be connecting. Fury will go mental cos he isn’t hurt, all hell will let loose with Fury’s mob in the ring and there will be a rematch.
All of this because they both don’t really want Joshua , and a rematch will drive up the final winner’s share of the purse with AJ.

212lbs is too light. Fury will be not only the slicker fighter but a huge weight advantage too. Looks like wilder has no other way to win apart from finding that bingo punch
