    I had Wilder up by 4 rounds at the time of the KO. I'm a pro judge.

    His opposition is better than Fury's now if we include losses. The Usyk fights changed that

    Yeah it’s ridiculous how anyone could watch that and think it’s a knockout punch. That’s literally identical to how my little sister would slap me. That can’t even reasonably be called a punch. If not a fixed fight (I give this a 95% probability) then it’s a case of Helenius losing his balance and hitting his head on the canvas. That punch wouldn’t faze Amir Khan. What is everyone on here smoking lol

    Watch the video. I think talk of fixed fights is usually nonsense and I don’t even entertain it. I’ve been watching boxing for over twenty years and this is the first time I have even suspected a fight of being fixed. With that, I’m certain it was fixed. How can anyone who has any understanding of boxing at all actually believe that little slap to the nose knocked him out? It would defy the laws of physics.

    I watched the shot. Was not a soft blow. Helenius doesn’t have a great chin. Not a shocker.

    The Plant KO was marvelous in a pure boxing manner. Hook to the body, then up to the chin.
    Nice work. The Gravedigging antics were uncalled for but I suspect Plant had had enough of
    Dirrell's trash talking before and during the fight.

    Wilder didn't even have his full power behind that punch, and he STILL laid out a 6'7, 253 pound man.

    It shouldn't even be possible for humans to hit that hard.

    From what I saw I’ll be sorry if I watch another one of his fights. Yawner.

    Helenius has never been knocked out before, what Wilder did was legendary.

    As much as I'd still love to see it, Hearn isn't putting heavy Oluwafemi Bismillah and his inability to throw combinations like Rocky Marciano anywhere near Wilder. That bout is a career-ending decapitation for New Breed.
