    I’m not gonna be too harsh on Whyte here, Helenius is awkward but that’s being compounded by him not wanting to fight and not wanting to get knocked out. Result, he’s dummying and feigning while back peddling and sliding away while having zero intention of throwing a meaningful punch.

    It’s nearly as bad as Henry Akinwande’s performance against Lennox Lewis and no one blamed Lewis for that fight stinking the place out!

    Helenius should be ashamed of himself.

    I missed the fight, but I don’t know what you guys were expecting.

    Whyte has always been bad.

    And Helenius?

    Helenius is further gone than current Muhammed Ali.

    And I’ve always maintained Wilder isn’t afraid of Whyte.

    Maybe he’s afraid he won’t spark Whyte as hard as AJ did.

    Or that it will increase the pressure to fight AJ.

    I don’t know. But I can’t imagine Wilder is afraid of Whyte himself.

    Whyte 11-1 Helenius. Whyte isn't very good at all. His power once again was lacking here. Seemed to have better endurance this time around though.

    I reckon Whyte could smother Wilder and make him look uncomfortable for up to 6 rounds, before getting KTFO by a flailing overarm right, followed up by an off-balance salvo, and a home-town stoppage.

    Wilder is not getting £3 million anymore. Fight has lost some value.

    It's sad to see how Helenius turned out to be this big fluffy ball of nothing, he looked promosing after the Peter + Liakovich wins. He really imploded after that Chisora fight.

    He has no power, and remember he stunned Joshua and had him momentarily out on his feet with a short left hook.
