    I don't disagree completely... But like it or not Helenius is a superstar in Finland, headlining bills in his native country isn't exactly what I would call unjust. Duhaupas has played the opponent for the last year or extremely well, gone to hostile territory and performed with credit in several fights he was a major underdog in. Not dissimilar to final stretch of Thompsons career. Boxing isn't a fair sport, there will always be guys like Musafarov.... Working their asses in the gym and never catching a break in important fights. Hopefully he has a big break like Duhaupas has had recently. :good

    He might have a few good fights left - take some money and eventually become expensive sparring partner for world champs. Or retire and become a trainer to motivate youngsters...

    I didn't see a problem with his power, just seems like he ran out of gas. He should not give up and use smart matchmaking.

    His power never was a great as it was made out to be. Knocking over way past it retired street sweepers isn't a good measuring stick for power.

    He was doing well against Duhaupas, especially with the uppercuts but seemed to gas

    I doubt even his most ardent fans in helsinki were under the impression he was an invincible titan.
    This loss won't change much for him at all.

    Teper is a dirty PED cheater, but get over it IB, he's much better than you give him credit for (with or without the roids). He beats Gerber 10/10. He deserved the win against Duhaupas and he would have knocked Helenius out inside 3 rounds. He showed great power in his fights, not sure if it will vanish without the PEDS.

    Huh? Why? He was making decent money fighting national level prospects and over the hill journeymen. Unless he'd convinced himself he was route to world glory and the loss causes some sort of meltdown, I don't see why he wouldn't carry on as normal.

    Make sure you have a broom ready to sweep up all that glass.
