Anthony Joshua was 23 lbs heavier than Oleksandr Usyk.
Ukrainian Usyk came in at a career-heaviest weight, but just about matched the previous fight by weighing in at 15st 11 lbs.
Both men showed no signs of nerves in the final face-off.
There are four titles on the line in Jeddah.
He is about 4 lbs heavier than he was when he fought Joshua.
The two-time world champion insisted there was nothing to glean from the final staredown after cutting a focused figure during the weigh in.
"None of it matters to me." He was looking forward to the fight.
Critics feel that Usyk is too small for the division and that he is not a natural fighter. He has never competed at the heavier weight.
Speculation on the 35-year-old's weight had been rife throughout fight week, with the former British world champion suggesting he may have put on as much as 30 lbs since the last fight.
Usyk said that your expectations aren't always met.
Joshua is expected to be more aggressive in the second fight than he was in the first one.
Woodhall, who has spent time with Joshua in previous camps, was surprised to see his weight increase.
He said that he was surprised by it.
Josh's feet were not quick enough. It was nowhere near fast enough. If you are lighter, you can move quicker.
He can't box like he did last time. He needs to move his feet fast.
At Wednesday's press conference, Usyk broke out in song, but Woodhall felt Joshua was nervous.
He said that Anthony Joshua looked nervous.
It's a good thing. This is probably the most important fight of his career, because if he loses here there will be questions about where he is going.
It was a bit of an anti-climax after all the discussion about Usyk's weight. I think we can all point the finger at one person. The scale was the same as the first fight. The champion will use his ring craft and speed.
Joshua gained a lot of weight. He was bound by his muscles. The general feeling is that he will need a knockout to regain the titles, even though he says he is preparing for a 12-round contest. The four and a half pounds will give him more power.
The boxing world can read a lot into body language. The staredown was broken by a fistbump from Joshua into Usyk. The two men have no bad feelings towards each other. Both of them are huge competitors.
Most of the attendance at the workout was made up of broadcasters and the press. There is not a bigger stage for a fight of this magnitude, a unification bout between two superstars.
The next time these two face off will be in the ring, with Usyk channelling the spirit of his nation and Joshua determined to prove his worth.
