    Helenius showed up in shape for those fights. He clearly did not train seriously for this one. Look at his condition in the ring.

    Is there any bout that some guy or other on here won't call a fix? :lol:

    Man, if you can't tell when a guy just got delivered straight into the arms of Satan, I don't know what to tell you.

    That ''knockout' looks worse and worse with every reply, punch had nothing on it.

    Yes, and I’ve never said that about a fight before.

    Yea, I hate fights between good friends. I'm not going to insinuate anything but that was some china chin, that punch didn't extend, Wilder wasn't even planted and stretched Helenius completely out.

    arm in external rotation throw a straight punch. You cant generate power like that, hence why it looked like a slap. If you put power behind a shot like that your liable to do yourself an injury.
    Hit him on the nose too.
    This was incredibly fake.

    I thought it would be an early KO, then, while I was watching, I was thinking "well... sometimes it takes him until later rounds.. Helenius is heavier." Wilder's power is truly GOAT though. That's why I need him vs Zhang.

    Also, I know this will be unpopular, and maybe it's because I'm drunk and sentimental, but I really like the new Wilder. I am going to call my mother and tell her I love her. You should all do the same.

    Helenius, such poor technique and slow. What a joke. Any of the top guys would have flatlined him today. But still, not going to downplay Wilder’s power. That was still impressive.

    I'm with you on this. The blue print to beat Wilder is to have Fury's chin and Fury's size. Just having The Gypsy King's size does nothing.

    Ruiz is a very dangerous fight. Fat boy is deceptively fast .

    Look at the replays. He didn’t even land with his knuckles. It was a half cocked slap to the guys nose. I know Wilder is a devastating puncher. That was a clear dive, it’s almost comedic how obvious it was.

    a bit, if you look at Spilka who looked like that he was on the canvas for 10 minutes or more.
    Again i hate to say it but this is very fake. As someone who has an understanding of bio mechanics i can't come to any other conclusion

    You have to take a Wilder more seriously than dumpy Kownacki. I'd expect Helenius' weight was strategic.

    Seriously no semi-competent pro should get caught with a shot like that. The skill level of his opponents is truly atrocious. Only Fury and Ortiz actually have skills
