    Probably more skill between the two of them. But you've got to admit it would be another funny and unexpected HW upset that throws a wrench in things. I'll tune in on the outside chance of that happening. Honestly it wouldn't even be the biggest upset this year so far.

    Barnburner? Helenius' best bet is to stink the joint out and turn it into a snooze fest.

    Nah, not for me. It might be fun whilst it lasts but Kownacki is going to put a beating on this dude

    Didnt Helenius just lose to Gerald Washington? lol.. ANd Why was he selected again by PBC to fight Kownacki? I'll catch the highlights on instagram after the fight, not interested at all

    I think the Sanchez vs J. Dawejko is the fight to watch on the card out of the heavyweights. Sanchez looks to be a sizable Cuban and may be better then Ortiz or a current one .

    Shame Helenius tore his shoulder years ago. He was a savage puncher and hasn’t been the same since.

    Yeah, Robbe gave it his best shot but he was just too overwhelmed by Kownacki's constant workrate and never say die mentality. A couple of years ago this might have been competitive, but Robbe can't take a punch anymore, and since his shoulder injury he doesn't appear to be able to give one either. Shame, as this could have been an upset in the making given how open Kownacki was. Ah well, the Polish express trundles on I guess. Next stop another easy touch then a showdown with Wilder in the Summer.

    exactly. the biggest lie in boxing is how guys get better after a surgery. it is a subtraction and like Helenius, a big subtraction

    Helenius at one point was a bigger puncher than Wlad IMHO. Even now the faded version of Helenius still has enough power to put away tough guys like Kownacki. Take the Helenius of the pre-injury days and I think Kownacki gets laid out flat on the canvas, arms out, legs up, jelly rolls jiggling.
