    Boy The Nordic Nightmare must absolutely love getting KTFO. If I were him, I'd try to find a different way to make money, like starting his own Finnish Black Metal band, he certainly has the voice for it.:sisi1

    If true, this is pathetic. Helenius doesn't last a round. They should've given Chisora the payday. You KNOW he would've gone a few, likely the distance.

    After the Wilder disaster Helenius clearly doesn´t belong in the ring with any top 10 heavyweight, let alone a top 5 one.

    Justice for Kownacki.

    A fight with Robert Helenius would be an error of matchmaking on Matchroom's part. Wilder recently destroyed Helenius in one round. Unless AJ blasts Helenius out early his performance will be overshadowed by Deontay Wilder's.

    Helenius holds a 1-0-0 winning record over Chisora.

    Now, now...

    Didn't Floyd suffer two back-to-back first round KOs and bounce back to some respectable wins over Machen, Chuvalo, Cooper and Ringo ?

    That's very probable.

    However, Helenius still holds a 1-0-0 winning record over Chisora.

    To the boxing layman's eyes Wilder doesn't look like a powerful guy, but the truth is Deontay Wilder is the hardest hitter of all time.

    That's probably what they were worried about.

    That's very possible depending on how you define " hardest hitter."

    Still, watch this dude dispose of an undefeated lineal champion with a one-punch KO.

    No big drama, no big windmill wind up.
    Just an almost nonchalant short crisp punch that did the job.

    Imagine how would feel to get hit by Foreman if you were at the end of a wild swinging wilder-style shot ?

    Not sure what caliber of opponent y'all were expecting on one week's notice. This actually isn't bad.

    Joshua *has* to get a KO here, tho. No tap dancing or hiding behind the jab. Helenius will be trying to knock him out and AJ will have every opportunity to end it.
