I think the lowest he's ever been was 244-245. Highest, probably Seferi, before that Abell. He can carry 30-40 pounds and still move around better than 95% of heavyweights out there. So it's certainly no problem. I think he's focused a bit on strength training since Wilder, because he lacked power on December 1st because of losing so much weight. So I think the weight is a mix of not being too worried about Schwarz and focusing on getting stronger.

But nothing strange will happen Saturday.

Schwarz is no Ruiz. He's no top 10 fighter, despite what a sanctioning body would like us to believe.

Just a routine fight for Fury. Can't see it being any more difficult than Pianneta.

I just hope that Fury doesn't spend round after round trying to "entertain" us with his stick-out-the-chin shtick and the old hands-behind-the-back performance

The act, especially against outclassed foes, has become very stale.

A succinct and accurate summation of the German's talents. As Cosell might have once put it.

I'm a bit surprised with Fury stoppong his weight cutting program, but his current weight still looks ok for him.

This fight is a PPV in NZ. $35
Needless to say, I don't be buying it.
Bit cheeky if you ask me.
Lowly opponent for a bogus belt fight. Yeah, pull the other one.
What mug is going to buy this fight?
Vote with your wallets, don't buy it and send a clear message that we will not accept this sort of crap any more.

I wouldn't have dreamed of it. Even at comparatively reasonable UK prices, PPV cards are subject to stringent quality control scrutiny before I hand over my dosh.

This fight alone is going to be worth your NZ$ 35 or my name is not Hamish McCohen.

Once but no longer. On account of him being brown-bread now I expect

Get yer tongue out of yer cheek Slim, I can't understand a word your saying.

Per Nevada State Athletic Commission, official contract purses for Saturday night’s Top Rank on ESPN+ card at the MGM Grand:

Tyson Fury $1 million (but guarantee is $12.5 million per his deal with Top Rank/ESPN), Tom Schwarz $250k (guarantee is low seven figures),

Sullivan Barrera $125k, Jesse Hart $150k,

Mikaela Mayer $20k, Lizbeth Crespo Not available;

Andy Vences $20k, Albert Bell $20k,

Isaac Lowe $20k, Duarn Vue $20k,

Cem Kilic $4k, Martez McGregor $5k,

Sonny Conto $4k, Daniel Infante $3k,

Guido Vianello $10k, Keenan Hickman $4k,

Peter Kadiru $1k, Juan Torres $4k.

He's heavier than for Wilder but I think he looks healthier in the eyes and face as his weight has been fairly consistent for 6 months now as opposed to rapid weight loss

He looked a little better than I expected. IMO. Watched some clips for the first time today.

Schwarz will find Fury's chin in the 3rd round and he won't get back up again.

There is a proverb in Balkan (difficult to translate, but I will try) - Mother says to her daughter : It would be fine, my daughter that king's son marry you, but the beggers walking around our home.

One wonder at HW was quite enough for this year.

I can go for another one, but it won't be with garbage Schwarz.

I've not seen Schwarz in action but I don't mind watching Fury bite the dust..

He's terrible. Practically quit against Gashi. Feigned being seriously hurt bad after a soft headbutt. It was sad.

I saw that.

Schwarz went down in a heap from that head butt under the chin.

But I got the impression that he wanted out. Schwarz didn't like the heat of a physical battle and was seriously considering staying down. He didn't care if he won by DQ or was counted out.

Makes you figure that if Schwarz starts taking too many shots tonight, he'll pull a no mas.

Yup. He's pure crap.
