Helenius will KO Joshua

Surely you don't believe that, he'd need a hail bloody Mary.

 

Helenius is easy to hit.

 

Just prove Helenius at 6`9 has more power than Usyk.

 

Helenius is almost 40 years old and was stopped in 1 round in his last fight, and also lost to Gerald Washington who is 2-5 in his last 7 fights. If Joshua loses to Helenius Joshua's stock plummets as does Usyk's win over him no ifs or buts no matter how you try and twist it.

 

Helenius beats AJ only using power U

Helenius can only win with power, Usyk used skill nothing changes.

 

Of course it does ? Helenius is an almost 40 year old late replacement who isn't even a ranked top 10 Heavyweight.

If Joshua who's supposed to be a power puncher and overwhelming favourite cannot stop Helenius, who has shown a suspect chin being stopped twice 2 by two unremarkable opponents, and recently by Wilder in a single round. And even worse loses to him ? Then yes Joshua's stock plummets as does Usyk's win over him.

Some people already think Joshua hasn't been the same since the Ruiz loss, he loses to Helenius then that would be the final straw.

 

See the usual suspects are out in full force, AJ is going to annihilate him, Helenius punch resistance hasn’t looked great recently and basically has a punchers chance, that’s it.

 

You get 100 / 1 on that apparently. Still wouldn't waste my money.

This will be easy work for Joshua.

 

Similar odds to Ruiz Jnr by ko in the Garden, eh.

 

Helenius has many flaws ,some have already pointed been out he's stiff as a board, stands upright and keeps his head on the line just begging for a straight right and he's old. Joshua has fewer flaws at this point and should catch and stop him. Odds of an upset? Due to AJ's chin and suspect mentality I'd say he's a 8-1 favorite at least. But, what would happen if Helenius were to hurt Joshua early and his demons of doubt spring forth crying here we go again! Then it could be competitive for a while anyway.

 

I think Joshua will stop him inside three rounds. Joshua is a good and responsible defensive fighter so I don't expect him to get hit by Helenius's slow motion shots.

Still, these odds are nuts. A Helenius KO in the first three rounds is paying +5000, which is insane for a power punching HW. If you think Helenius would stop Joshua early in 1 out of 50 fights then it's an even money bet based on the odds. I think he'd probably do it 2 or 3 times so it's actually a good play.

 

I'll chuck a tenner on Helenius at those odds.
