First who lands wins. Wilder is way faster and far more aggressive than Helenius. Wilder by ko in the first 2 rounds
Helenius hits hard as Fury Feet are slower Doesn't use his weight on opponents Easier to hit Stamina and workrate is far worse When he is hurt he stays hurt, unlike Fury who absorbs the energy and gets stronger. Wilder should spark him
Before his shoulder injury I would agree with you but Helenius lost a lot of power when he tore his shoulder And hasn’t been the same since.
Nawwwwww Wilder might not be the same guy but there is no way he goes down for the 10 count. I expect Wilder to KO this joker within 8
Wilder sucks. He has always been losing rounds and looking for one punch. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Helenius wins.
Wilder knows that the American judges will give him the rounds in a close fight and rounds are irrelevant if you end up comatose inside 36 minutes. Helenius is a wide underdog for good reason.
Helenius beat the giant baby twice but I don't rate those wins all that highly. Helenius himself tends to loose when tested against better fighters. He's big and rangy but that's about it and he doesn't have much in the way of defense. Robert has a dig but he's a lot slower than Wilder and his jab isn't as sharp. Who can get set first most often probably wins. Unless Wilder is gun shy Helenius should be a sitting duck for the fast 1-2. Can't see much past a Wilder win inside 6 rounds.
Helenius has the power to do it; but he would need to step his game up to win. His defense is not good enough to avoid Wilder's punch, his chin is not strong enough to endure, and his offense isn't busy enough to keep Wilder smothered and on the back foot. I suspect Wilder scores an early KO. Be cool If I am wrong though!
To me the biggest questions in this fight concerns Wilder, his mental state and his punch resistance. Would it surprise me if Helenius won? Not really, it would answer those questions that Wilder's finished. But,,,if Deontay is on point and he does a Breazeale type hit job on him many options for him begin to open up. Joshua, Usyk?
I'm American, and I actually want Helenius to beat Wilder. I really, really dislike him as the HW American standard bearer. He's a damn idiot, his handlers have no control over him, he has no skill set, I really want him to just sit down. I really dislike him and just want someone to beat him at this point. The first ballot HOF'er **** he said really grinds me.... With that being said, I give Helenius almost no chance and think Wilder is gonna get a highlight reel knockout then call out Fury again for a 4th fight I'm more than willing to pull my American support from all HW's until Jared Anderson matures a bit more, hopefully he is what I think he is.
One punch to the side of Dentays mandible and the bad memories of being k. Od are back... the blood will start coming out the ear again, he'll then start backing up to the ropes again and sucking in air like an asthma patient again..... Shot fighter
