    Ruiz should be next, that could be fireworks as they are both ferocious punchers.

    Welcome back Deontay, I wanted to see a few rounds at least tho. I can't believe people are saying dive like we haven't watched this guy detonate on many fighters before.

    Let’s be honest, it would not have mattered one bit.

    Why don't we go straight to a showdown with Anthony Joshua?

    Nothing suspect about the ko imo, Helenius walked straight into that shot.
    If Helenius faked that he's an amazing actor, looked completely limp as he went down and his head bounced off the canvas.

    Exactly. Helenius was hand-picked to fuel a "Wilder is back" narrative, he a huge puncher who will destroy all the HWs, etc. etc., etc. He had the lack of chin and speed to perform his role perfectly.

    Not really. a lot can happen in a round. This is the most pathetic performance anyone of note has had against Wilder other than Stiverne I who also showed up fat and for a payday. That is a far more apt comparison. The Nordic Nightmare is far more capable than what he showed tonight, but he was content with the payday and clearly didn't take this fight seriously.

    Well at least you're confirming what is blatantly obvious to everyone that views your posts

    Oh I thought it would be a brutal knockout. I didn’t think a girly little slap to the guys nose would do it. These friends put on a terrible performance. That wasn’t the punch to do it on. They fkd up, the first completely obvious dive I’ve seen in over twenty years of watching boxing. That was embarrassing

    It absolutely wasn't a dive, but call it whatever, I'm not going to spend time arguing about the authenticity of a KO that was very easy to predict and shocks nobody at all.

    That punch had nothing behind it and didn’t even turn over. Seems like the kind of fight to make someone marketable again.

    When I said it would look like the Breazeale fight, I meant, he'd literally KO him in 1, with the first clean shot he landed, not that they'd do a rehearsed goddamn shot for shot step by step reenactment.:lol: Come on... stop acting dense.
