If Helenius is going to have a real future in this division, he has to do a real number on Peter. At 260lbs, he obviously doesn't care too much and a young, hungry fighter with ability should be able to beat him in style.
That weight isnt good for Peter. Despite his weight I am not sold on helenius, I dont see much skill in him. I think peter taps his chin down. I also want who necks!
people picking Peter after the weigh in are crazy simple as that. Trust me there seems to be so little genuine determination on the part of team Peter here. No menace, no emotion, no atmosphere. I have not even seen Jeff Mayweather I don't think he's even going to be working Peter's corner. Abel Sanchez had the personality and the work ethic to get Peter as low as 237. Now that he's been released from Top Rank he automatically lost Sanchez's services. I'm not sure what is going on among team Peter but I don't like the look of it. I've lost all hope in him now, and that's saying something. He looks awful, even before when he was too heavy he still looked strong and muscled, he looks like a wealthy businessman who USED to be an NFL player. The writing is well on the wall. This will not be the great fight people were expecting. Helenius doesn't look great to be honest either. How can team Peter have messed this up so badly??? They should have taken the Maurice Harris IBF eliminator.
260 again? I just dont get it.... why are they having such a hard time keeping his weight down.... what a joke Sam is a cool guy.... but he just cant seem to get and stay at the next level.... 260?. I blame his team more then I blame sam
Peter refused 150,000 dollars against Adamek. I'm pretty sure he is getting around 300,000 euros with Helenius getting something less or similar. Peter got 500-700 thousand dollars to fight Wladimir in 2005, he got over 4 million to fight Vitali in 2008, he got 2.2 million to rematch Wladimir in 2010. He's definately made alot of money, and unfortunately he seems to be wanting a little extra before retirement.
Your boys beat the ambition out of him. It mut be daunting to learn first hand in three fights that no matter what you do, you aren't going to be Klit class.
Helenius will dominate peter! Peter is pretty much done! But he will be a quality journeyman after this!
I have been high on RH since his battering of Brewster, but Peter is 10X the force that Brewster was when he fought RH. Now, RH has improved, at least in the footwork dept, but his D is SERIOUSLY lacking ala Wlad vs Sanders and although Sanders is one of my AT favs, I THINK Peter is the harder hitter of the two. Damn, I'm torn. My heart is with Helenius, but my mind sees Helenius doing the chicken dance early and often. Peter KO 3-5.
