    Chisora scores -1 million G points for constantly wanting to have sex with the men he fights. He is as close as any man who has come before him to the anti G that is spoken of in Revelations.

    I didn't hold Helenius in high regard before the fight. He's terribly limited and basic. I didn't realize Chisora was as good as what he showed though. He did heavyweight boxing proud and displayed decent skills, resiliency, and conditioning.

    I think it's a mix of both. Chisora is clearly a better fighter than the fat tub of larb we saw lose to Fury. And Helenius clearly isn't this sharp, dangerous and highly talented contender we thought.

    Helenius has a terrible work-rate, can't use his height and reach, has questionable stamina and has zero jab. He relies on his uppercut and left hook KO qualities too much and simply forgets to box and win rounds.

    First thing Helenius has to do is start a nutrition program and increase his lean body mass. Obviously his diet is **** and that hurts his stamina. Then he has to work on his foot-work and start boxing more from the outside. He is so dumb to simply give away his height advantage like that.

    Totally agree. He didn't fight like a tall guy, and I don't think I have ever seen a boxer use a height advantage as poorly as Helenius. Del Boy could just walk up to him and fight him on close distance.

    I hope for Helenius, that he really had problems with his arm during the fight. Otherwise, his future in boxing looks bleak.

    Bit of both I think.
    I thought Helenius would beat Chisora, but when they fought I clearly scored for Chisora. I felt Derek should have been given the decision.
    I still think Helenius can go to the top, but he has been exposed a bit.
    Chisora can also move on as well if not left stagnant

    Let's also not forget that Chisora is BRITISH and SLICK. Two intangibles that Helenius is seriously lacking.

    I voted that Helenius is not as good, because I already knew that Chisora was a good fighter if he committed fully to a fight.

    Helenius has always been a bit one dimensional, is very durable and always looks for the knockout without throwing many jabs. I expected him to get exposed sooner or later, but by another tall super heavy. All credit to Chisora, he's a good fighter for his size, but he'll have problems fighting someone bigger with a higher work rate. ( I still think he gets beaten by Fury)

    very impressed with chisora, thought he was a fat no heart guy, but great head movement, rolling of the jab and sharp hooks

    I wasn't impressed with Helenius in the Sergei fight lol Entertaining but Helenius has no jab and was letting Sergei walk in and pound his body.

    Helenius is raw and doesn't use his size, hard head and punch though. Reminds me of Bowe.

    At any rate, he's always entertaining. Chisora is ok, we all knew this, really. The only people calling him a total bum were Wlad haters even if he had no business fighting for the title.
