In the present day on the size, Allen got here in at a heavy 265 kilos, this virtually eight kilos greater than he weighed for the primary battle which befell in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in December. Fisher scaled 245.5 kilos, this 4 kilos greater than he scaled for the primary battle.
Fisher seems to be in superb bodily form, whereas Allen does look to be carrying maybe somewhat an excessive amount of weight. Allen was all smiles at this time, whilst the 2 went face-to-face after weighing in.
Allen’s weight gamble – energy or downside?
Talking with DAZN after exiting the size, Allen mentioned that sure, he is an effective deal heavier than he has been in a while, however he insisted that he’s in “very, superb situation,” and that he’s “right here to do a job and I’m right here to do it as early as potential.”
It positive sounds as if Allen, 23-7-2(18) might need packed on the additional weight with the concept of going for the short end. Allen did deck Fisher within the fifth spherical within the first battle, so he is aware of he can harm his man. Nevertheless, if Allen doesn’t get Fisher out of there rapidly tomorrow, will his gasoline tank maintain up at 265 kilos?
Fisher guarantees struggle in “The Copper Bosh” – followers anticipate one other slugfest

Fisher will after all get pleasure from big fan assist on the battle at The Copper Field (or, as he places is “The Copper Bosh”), and Fisher does have a degree to show, seeing how loads of individuals felt the 10-round cut up resolution win that went his approach in December was undeserved.
“It’s not about what he desires to do, it’s about what I wanna do, and we’re gonna win, in any respect prices,” Fisher mentioned. “Victory in any respect prices. I’ve been coaching very exhausting and also you [the fans] give me that raise. It’s gonna be epic.”
It appears, barring a really fast win from both aspect, that tomorrow’s rematch will certainly be one thing fairly particular. The primary battle was an actual road brawl affair, and loads of followers expect to see the identical factor within the sequel.
Decide: Fisher to get the late stoppage this time round.
