Does Helenius have anything whatsoever even left at this stage? Kownacki would be a tough out for him even if Helenius wasn't on the slide. Kownacki overwhelms and stops him
Hmm I'm not too sure what Helenius has left to be fair. Admittedly he should be on a slight high after getting a stoppage win over Teper and I feel if Martin was able to go the distance with Kownacki then Helenius should have the technical capability to survive. Whether or not he manages to absorb Kownacki's pressure and not get stopped is another matter.
Just going solely off of the types that gave Helenius fits, I think Kownacki fits that mold. I don't think he'll be able to absorb that type of pressure. As for Martin surviving Kownacki, I think Martin, for all the **** alot of us give him, is probably a hell of a lot tougher than we give him credit for. Not elite, but a really tough, weather the storm guy.
Do me a favor. Helenius will brutally KO Kownacki and it will be early. Cruiserweight Kilazde was tagging Kownacki at will and put him in the hospital. Sugar Robert Helenius is bigger, more powerful, slicker and has found entirely new kind of motivation after his vicious demolition job of Teper. Fat pole is going down hard.
