I saw a photo of Kownacki recently and I think he's fatter than he was last time. When younger fighters have weight problems like that, it's difficult to pick them.
If Helenius puts in the work on his conditioning then I see him smashing Kownacki's face in again. Kownacki is who he is: an extremely limited, face first brawler who'll eat shots to land his own. If Helenius can strafe him with those sharp right hands and long hook/uppercut/jabs he can knock him out again, but he'll need to be careful and pick his shots in between Kownacki's bull rushes. Basically do the same thing he did last time.
I think Helenius was just coasting out his career and surprised himself with the win. Now that he knows that he can hurt Kownacki I think he's going to put in an effort in training and come ready to blow him away again. I take Helenius x2. Dat old man strength. The 6'6 doesn't hurt either
Ahh, the Andy Ruiz schools of boxing! I like it. Maybe he'll train at Dustin Nichols' Supreme Buffet Throwdown Ranch.
Helenius is better at being a punchbag than Kowanacki and has the natural advantages of his height and reach Helenius should stop him again
There were dinosaurs still roaming the earth when Helenius was last in his prime but he can punch and Kownacki's face is his guard so I won't be in the least bit surprised if he knocks him out again.
In the days of the ancients, When the T Rex was feared, There were songs that were sung, Of the man with the beard, In the ice age he fought, Caring nought for the freeze, The legend that's almost, As old as Ortiz.
I’m goin Helenius again. Picked him 1st go round, Adam I think is a type fighter who is just one dimensional and doesn’t make adjustments. Robert knows what he has to do to get a second win over Kownacki. But Adam is for sure a live dog here
I don't think he knows how to be. In the first fight, after getting dazed, he got right back up and tried to continue being Kownacki. I really don't think he knows to fight any other way. We will see soon enough. Maybe he will surprise me.
One observation: Helenius' jab was quite accurate and efficient against Kownacki. If Kownacki fights more cautiously, he's going to eat a lot of those.
