Helenius problem is not his inability to tie guys up in close-quarters, it's his low work rate. Dwyer points the latter out correctly.
This is definately the fight I saw on saturday. Peter won several rounds before the knockout, and was winning the fight a the time of the stoppage. Helenius showed a great chin, in rounds 3/5 especially, and he obviously has tremendous power; however, his workrate is too low and his jab is not thrown with tremendous authority. Peter was seriously overweight in this fight, he did not even have a training camp for it. I have no doubt that if the 241 Peter who fought Wladimir last september had fought Helenius then he would have won. The stoppage came when Helenius got confident enough to put some real punches together on a very tired Peter who was by then pushing his punches. In Helenius' defence we must remember he was facing a very hard puncher in only his 15th fight, it might be fair to assume he got a little anxious in the early going. In the end though Peter was there for the payday and nothing else, his manager was his trainer for Godsake.
