Just found out they are only charging $35 ($28 USD, £17) in HD for this in NZ. Man the Americans get shafted on their PPV's.
Cheaper than us for you

I know people do shrink with age but Tyson Fury's only 30. Maybe it's just my perception.

He’s a traveller 30 though, which is pushing 50 in the gorger worldmercman wrote: ↑22 Nov 2018, 14:41Yes, defo. His legs look too thin.

Seriously though, I do think he’s currently underweight. I’m hoping he’s not overdone it. He has always been a bit lanky of course but he was always lumpy and a big man, he looks like a beanpole now.

fury was listed 6'7 in his early pro days
last time i checked celebheights (site of ppl who meticously examine celeb heights) has him at 6'7.5, wilder 6'6.5, and wlad 6'5.25. and price at 6'8 and aj at 6'5.75

lots of comparisons, digging up of measurements/past listings, etc, and a lot of them have pictures with the celebs in question . for example the site owner goes to loads of events where you in can get pics with celebs, and he uses those for comparison ,
hes got ones standing with aj , haye, froch, calzaghe, holyfield, tyson, and bruno too and compares that to his own height, which of course is meticulously measured and documented to prove that is his real height. theres even a height chart across the photos if you click them
i trust that site and its thoroughness more then 'official listings', height inflation is hugely rampant, even just rando nonathletes and women will round up or add an inch or two

I do think Tyson will win but if he were to lose and get sparked out for instance....do you think we will see another Tyson spiral?
I really hope not but I can't imagine he will take it well to be honest.

As with other physical attributes of men that can be measured and compared, it's not just about what you've got, it's what you do with it. I think Fury uses his height extremely well, whereas say Price doesn't. So it's not particularly about the specific measurement, more about using what you've got to maximum effect.mercman wrote: ↑23 Nov 2018, 07:04Yeah, I noticed that. To me though, he looks more like Wilder's height when the two of them are face to face and Wilder's listed at 6'7". Fury didn't look much taller than Wlad either and Wald's meant to be 6'6".samwbr wrote: ↑22 Nov 2018, 15:17BT Sport shaved half an inch from his previous 6'9" in his last fights Tale of the Tapemercman wrote: ↑22 Nov 2018, 14:41

It's not just that though. You used to see group photos and Fury would be towering over everybody. Nowadays he just doesn't seem to do that. Obviously, yeah, still a very tall bloke but somehow he just doesn't look like a giant anymore.
At least that's what I tell my girlfriend anyway.

There used to be a poster on here who would ask for clarification about the height of various boxers.
I mentioned Fury's legs ahead of his first comeback fight. Bowe went to 250+ for Golota 1 then dropped close to 20lbs for the rematch and his legs looked terrible. Fury reckons he's done the weight while retaining his strength so it will be interesting to see how he looks on the scales. I'm fairly tall myself but him and Hughie make me look tiny. The best I saw Tyson in terms of his overall shape was in the Sept before he fought Klitschko, he looked really healthy.
You would fancy Fury to box rings around Wilder if he still has a decent percent of himself left. I'm going for Fury by decision but a lot of people I know have written him off.

Maybe he just doesn't stand tall, I always doubted he was 6'9" but someone posted a few pics of Fury next to Wilder, Klitschko and Price and he does look taller than Wilder and Klitschko, so maybe nearer 6'8". I agree he doesn't look so big recently, probably slouches or sometimes wears really thick soles to make himself look taller.mercman wrote: ↑23 Nov 2018, 07:04Yeah, I noticed that.

another of fury with price
most of the time fury looks about the same height as wilder, maybe an inch taller at most. henry cherry picked those photos a bit, more often i think its close. btw in that one in ring pic above fury was on his toes next to wilder , see the 3rd pic below for when he was standing flat. wilder prob looks taller as tyson had boxing boots on

Maybe wilder is wearing platforms.
Or fury when relaxed slouches a little.

the one pic is from wilders vs szpilka, where wilder defo wouldnt have had platforms and was prob at a footwear disadvantage , fury looks no more then an inch taller, and i really doubt price wouldve been wearing platforms, fury i dont think is even 6'8 but obviously still very tall lol
