    Round 1

    Both run to meet at ring center. Helenius is the one to keep pressing forward as Joshua skitters around the perimeter, back scraping the ropes. Helenius blocks a few jabs, then a right hand. Helenius is stalking, looking for an opening, then lunges with a jab trotting in as Joshua backpedals. Neither has landed anything a minute in. Keeping each other honest with jabs, but not scoring them. Helenius opens up with a jab and looping right combo, forcing Joshua to quickly fall back and cover up. Lead right from Joshua just narrowly misses as Helenius moves his head. They fence with the jab and Joshua's gets closer, maybe just taps Helenius' beard. Body jab by Helenius.

    10-9 Helenius, interesting chess match opener

    Round 1 Helenius 10-9, close

    Robert flurries early and that was probably enough to edge feel out round.

    Helenius just ecstatic he saw round 2. AJ just probing, jabbing, doing the minimum to feel him out.

    Put the house on Wilder KO in rounds 1-3 if he ends up fighting Joshua next

    AJ 1-0

    Both guys found some minor success in the first round. Helenius is coming to fight so this should be really interesting.
