Anyone fancy Sprotts chances here!? Sprott coming off a great win v Gerber (he also battered him in the 1st fight before the controversial incident lol).....Big Robert coming off of a stinker v Williams and before that he got battered V Chisora. Heard a while ago that Sprott was taking this fight extremely seriously and at times he is a great fighter. I personally think Helanius is dog ****.He looks like ****....he moves like ****....his one saving grace is power and a half decent jab.....also huge doubts about this dodgy shoulder etc... I think Sprott can do a chisora here and give the nordic nightmare ****ing nightmares and with fair judging this time please thankyou
First of all, this is a cracking undercard match up on a high quality German show, I am really looking forward to it. Looking forward to a bit of Bunce and Lillis too. I think Helenius is worthy of a top 15 ranking, he's had some good wins. The shoulder will be a concern for his fans, but he seems a tough guy. Sprott looked fresh in the 2 Gerber fights, his chin is questionable, but I think he'll have an edge in hand speed, so needs to box like he did in the 2 Gerber fights. I think it'll be close and I'm not sure Helenius will get any favouritism. Sprott on points, World title shot this year!
Hope Sprott wins and set's up the finale to what could be the greatest trilogy ever. The fight of the century! Sprott vs Audley: Part III The Thriller in York Hall.
It's shaping up to be a fairly decent card. It'll be nice to settle in Saturday and watch this one - hopefully Groves is televised, even if he is fighting someone who he will batter. In terms of Sprott - Helenius, I think Sprott will come up short. He will have to come in very determined and in great shape if he is to stand any chance. My guess is that he does well in patches but eventually gets caught. He'll be saved by the ref before the 10th. I'm not sold on Helenius really, but I think he has the beating of Sprott.
I think Sprott can win this, even if it goes to the scorecards. I'm not convinced that Helenius (especially since his injury problems) is rated highly enough to be 'saved' by the judges if Sprott has clearly done enough to win. He seems motivated for this one, apparently he went straight back into training after the Gerber fight and he has good experience of tall heavyweights having been a Klitschko sparring partner on several occasions...
