    Helenius has all the physical gifts needed to beat Peter (great body shots, super long jab, significant power and amateur pedigree). But if Peter is in peak physical condition he may be too fast and too strong for Helenius.

    Tough fight for both men.

    Peter spends the first 8 rounds eating 1+2 combinations and the last 4 rounds trying to stay in the fight.

    I'm really curious how Peter will react to those short hooks Helenius can throw on the inside. He managed to wobble both Levin and Brewster with these short crisp hands. Peter will be a good test for Helenius.

    I'm really high on Helenius, but Peter is not exactly the guy you wanna test your chin against. I though maybe Rossy or even Thompson, but Peter? His team must know something we don't.

    Levin and Brewster were both good power punchers, but neither has that one punch power that Peter is able to deliver, especially to green fighters with gaps in their D.

    I'm pulling for RH, but just like I thought Chisora was stepping up into the A class too soon, I feel like Helenius is gonna get KTFO.

    Yep, and it's not even a big/exciting fight. If/when Peter loses he should retire.

    Helenius is terrible. He looks like an oversized, fat Kelly Pavlik. I don't ever want to see him fight again.

    Luckily for him though, Peter is worse!

    Better Helenius than Adamek. Smart move by Peter camp. I'd still have to bet on Helenius.

    I favor Helenius to win decisively. Either mid to late stoppage or UD.

    It's better than Peter vs Mo Harris. Harris had no business being anywhere near an semi-elimination bout.

    Helenius beat Peter easily. Peter is easy to hit. Helenius can use his whole arsenal. Helenius TKO early rounds

    I reckon Helenius beats Peter, quite comfortably....
