247 is a career high fighting weight for Wladimir, it's the heaviest he's been since the Ray Austin bout where he showed up at 246 1/2. Remember Wlad and Vitali gain weight for their fights (unlike pretty much anyone else in boxing) so I reckon he's hit the weights a bit harder...I feel bad for Sam Peter, he's a decent fighter but man he's gonna get tore up on Saturday.
