    Kownacki gets knocked out again. Too easy to hit and Helenius can crack.

    I'm going with Polish Homer.

    I think he'll reverse the result.

    Adam has been saying that he's been working on his head movement which has been non existent.
    Avoiding a punch or two would be nice. I support and vote for the K man but I suspect Helenius will win again.

    This,,if Kownacki keeps his chin tucked and boxes I think he wins. I know Kownacki has more flaws than a dime store shirt but Helenius ain't exactly a ring technician . I think this will be a really entertaining fight though and in todays heavyweight division I'll take it.

    Sugar Robert Helenius is a shot fighter, last time he looked quite weary after the third round, to me it looked like he might not last another 2 rounds. I'm afraid the Pillsbury doughboy will get to him if SRH doesn't land that fight-changing punch early in the fight.

    Seems crazy Helenius is the underdog again. It's not like it was some freak overhand right he was consistently finding kownazki and eventually just started blasting through his guard.

    I'm sure the odds makers know something I don't or maybe his big fan base is skewing the odds. Povetkin was the underdog against whyte for the 2nd fight and that turned out to be deserved.

    I thought that too, but I remembered Helenius also lost to Gerald Washington recently.

    Kownacki made the classic mistake of underestimating his opponent the first time around.

    Not thinking that he could be hurt by Helenius because lets face it Helenius is over the hill.

    It was an easy style match up and easy win for him on paper but he blew it with complacency.

    In the rematch Kownacki gets a brutal knock out win.

    Gotta go with the Nordic Nightmare in this one. I don't see Kownacki bringing anything different to the fight that would give him an advantage. Similar fight with the same outcome.

    Kownacki has a horrible style walk foward get punched in the face....

    Having that said Helen is sparring with wilder that can be a good thing or bad thing.

    but this is the type of fight that's just fun for the fans and i hope its good.
