    This is a proper 50/50 fight but Big Daddy Helenius is going to KO Joshua in round 4.

    Helenius is a journeyman who has never KO'd a world class opponent.


    Atleast Whyte had a punchers chance, Helenus does not.

    How is this a 50/50 fight? AJ is better in every way.

    Unless you have psychic abilities I wouldn't bet that way. But I'll concede this, if fat boy Ruiz could hurt Joshua, Helenius could too. But getting Joshua to expose himself like he did in the first fight with Ruiz will be a problem. Ruiz wasn't as hurt as Joshua thought after he got up and he ran into a left hook and ain't been the same since. AJ will fight cautious as usual behind his jab and will move and not give Robert any openings. But I tell ya what, I'd love to see Helenius do it, 2 fights in a week is pure 1918 stuff.

    50/50 whether Helenius dies or not most probably.

    Helenius hits harder than Ruiz. So if Helenius catches Joshua its lights out.

    Fact is Aj is a mental mess, no one knows what happens if helenius clips him, could be that he goes into absolute panic mode. The guy is absolute unstable as we saw in his last fight

    I'd love to see Helenius KO him, and I think he has a chance if he just goes for broke and lets his hands go. He has the power. Nobody thought Ruiz/Joshua was a 50/50 fight going in, and look what happened there. Reason I root for Helenius here is Joshua had a bunch of guys willing to step in and he picks the lowest risk guy of all, he has no balls.

    Helenius is a giant, packs loads of power on his fists,he can definitely hurt and KO AJ. That's why AJ was so nervous in the face off today, he doesn't want a road accident.

    Having said that, AJ is more dedicated to boxing and trains maybe 5 times harder than Helenius. He will probably KO Helenius in 3.

    I like Helenius but this is a terrible fight. Surely there was a better available opponent.

    There were many better opponents, including Ruiz, but Hearn and Joshua don't have the balls or confidence to take many risks.

    If you believe that then surly you will place a good sized bet.

    Rather you then me.

    Helenius probably hits harder than Whyte, definitely with the right hand

    I really hoping he does but my head says AJ. Might not be as straiggt forward as it was for Wilder though.
