He lost a ton (10 st), but I'm sure his handlers were on top of it. I'm more concerned with Wilder at 214. The guy can't keep weight on. Lowest he's been since turning pro!

I reckon Fury's actually 253. Take a piss or a shite and you lose 2-3 pounds anyways. So that's 5 pounds from his Klitschko match. He's optimum. I'm more concerned with Wilder being 212 than I am Fury being 250+.

Joyce/Hanks intrigues me of all the undercard fights. 6-0-0 against a former top contender, it'll be fireworks me thinks.

I fully suspect Ortiz to blow out Kauffman inside of six rounds. I don't much like Kauffman.

Just making you aware, BT Sports 1 is starting at half 11. It says Fight Night. Don’t know what they’re maybe. Maybe the untelevised undercard.

Personally I hope they show Stevenson’s fight.
Showing the untelelevised undercard on tv.

Hmmm....
I do doubt it tho

He's clearly gained muscle an maybe has half a stone or so more fat than when he fought wlad so I'd say his weight is perfectly fine

So if he got wiped out tonight that would mean he was lucky against Wlad?

I wouldn’t say lucky as in it was a lucky win, but I would say it was lucky that he was in the right place at the right time, similar to Buster Douglas beating Tyson.

Nah both Douglas and Fury boxed well on those nights and were deserving winners.

They did their job properly. Their opponents didn't. No excuses.

Yeah that was exactly my point and why I said it wasn’t a lucky win in itself.

Douglas was the most motivated in his entire career and always had the tools. Fury was genius in his approach with Wlad. Can't take anything away from either.

Oh ok, good man then :lol: Tbh I wasn’t expecting to debate my throwaway comment that I had forgotten even making until Cov quoted it, so I probably didn’t explain myself very well

A lot of people forget that Douglas raised his game that night. It was far from just being about Tyson being complacent.

Fury has his weight perfect I think, Wilder is ridiculously light for a HW in this modern era, he weighed in what most CW probably enter the ring out.

Truly, unless Wilder is planning on floating like a butterfly, I'm not feeling easy about this low weight the last two fights.
