Good fight, Helenius is a good fighter but in a weird way he lost the fight to Washington even though he had the whole fight under control, Kownacki is younger and somehow I think he will win, but Helenius has experience that could mean a lot to him...
Helenius gets splattered at some point in the second half of the fight. He could make it interesting for a few rounds though.
Kownacki by early stoppage. Rob never has been the same after the Chisora debacle nad the injuries, and ought to quit.
I'm going against the grain and picking Helenius. I wasn't impressed by Kownacki at all against Arreola, just a ponderous arm-puncher to me. Helenius is said to be in good shape for the fight, and he has to know that this is probably his last shot.
Kownacki gets hit a lot but he is a very accurate puncher and carries decent power. And in true form I would guess Kownacki takes a lot of shots today as well but will eventually wear down Helenius and stop him. Kownacki would definitely defeat Washington so Kownacki should stop Helenius.
Should be an easy win for Kownacki, Helenius is done, losing to Washington tells you all you need to know about what Helenius has left. Helenius may have the odd moment or two though, Kownacki is very easy to hit.
Would have been a much more interesting fight before Helenius tore his shoulder. He hasn’t been the same since.
You never know with Helenius, he's always got the big punch to put someone 's lights out like kebab man Teper. But he seems half terrified to throw it these days. His stamina's always been his main problem.
Kownacki is a huge favorite. It's his fight to lose. Helenius needs to just go for it early and hope for the best.
He also throws 70, occasionally 100 punches a round, and has a great chin. People who dis Kownacki are really missing the boat. This guy has a package of skills--excellent chin, excellent volume, good power, that beats most fighters out of the gate. In the Martin fight, for example, Kownacki won five rounds before Martin got started, and when he hit Kownacki with his best punch, the Pole just looked annoyed. He's going to go a long way.
