Big Sprotty V Robert Helanius

[China Rich]

I think Sprott can win this, even if it goes to the scorecards. I'm not convinced that Helenius (especially since his injury problems) is rated highly enough to be 'saved' by the judges if Sprott has clearly done enough to win.
He seems motivated for this one, apparently he went straight back into training after the Gerber fight and he has good experience of tall heavyweights having been a Klitschko sparring partner on several occasions...

I hope you're right but Helenius has bee saved before and the last few years so many Brits have come away with some rotten decisions away in Europe. Chisora completely battered Helenius, he barely won a round against Del Boy yet two judges still gave him the decision. It's just pathetic and sad for the sport. Germany itself has a very bad reputation for poor decision, I'd say only 1 or 2 out of 10 are usually correct and fair.

Hope Sprott does the business because I think he has enough in him to win this, I just hope it's an official win.

It does seem that the german crowd have a growing affinity with sprott and that if he were to win german promotors would have no problem selling the cinderella man story to a world title bid

I agree with you on this, he was 'allowed' to beat Gerber who was a prospect of sorts and so why not take another '0' this time?

Sprott is being offered at 5/1. Fair bit of value in that to be had.

**EDIT** 9/2 now

[Laikaka]

Any Sprott success depends what shape he's in. If the out of shape Sprott that fought Pulev turns up he'll probably lose inside the distance.

You'd be better off going for the draw at 33/1 if you think he can win it.

[Hector's House]

Amazed this is a ten rounder, felt sure it would be a twelve for some spurious Intercontinental 'title'

I'd love Sprott to win but he always seems to lose the big ones.

[gasman]

Sprott will get robbed.

[cassiusbrit]

Id like Sprott to win just to avenge the wrong done to Chisora but i feel Helenius wins by ko.
