    Sergei at the very least badly troubles him.

    Sergei still throws good combination, often finishing up with body shots.

    He's savvy. Rolls with punches very well.

    Loves to bodypunch. Nasty right hook to the body.

    I think he just has too many facets for Helenius. He'll work out of the clinch unlike a complacent Peter.

    Helenius looked very uncomfortable being backed up by Peter. Sergei can put on pressure as well.

    And to be honest with that soft body I just don't think Helenius is going to take it well tot he body.

    This fight is also 12 rounds, something Sergei is extremely experienced. Helenius, 15 pro fights and all, not so much.

    sergei is a punching bag. helenius hits quite hard, could be over in the middle rounds.

    The problem is he's a bit of a trash talker.

    Sergei has been so inactive what 4 fights in 5 years and lost 2 of them and at 35 being inactive like that you think he's has a time machine at home ah don't think so, Sergei might jump around for a round or 2 like a circus act and the he starts to get beat to hell.

    Wow, Robbe looks well. As if he's taken what the fans have said seriously, about tightening up in the midsection. This is the hardest he's looked downstairs since I can remember. Glad to see that he's gained weight while losing inches. I'm impressed.

    Sergie looked like usual. Not buff or nothing, but tight and well rounded. Good upper body and arms. I'm wondering though, why his legs look like they're thinning? That can't be a good thing because RH has gained 10 lbs, while losing inches around the belly. Perhaps his legs have grown stronger, and that means he's be less apt to be pushed around in a clinch.

    Helenius KO midrounds.


    As for Potvetkin:patsch. Pudgy, and looking like he's carrying an extra 10 lbs around his waist. Had he gained that weight in his legs or upper body, I'd like his chances a bit more, but.......... well, his chances have gone down IMO.

    Chagaev......what's to say about Ruslan. He's almost always in good shape. If his antihep meds have done their job, and the disease don't sap his mid fight energy we could be looking at an upset here. He's definitely got the power to hurt Potvetkin, and Ruslan is BY FAR the hardest hitter Pot has faced.

    I'm gonna go against my better judgment here and pick Chagaev by KO/TKO. I just think Sasha is taking Ruslan too lightly and will get caught by a L UC sometime early and be on his backfoot the rest of the fight until Ruslan can load up with a hard stright L hand and put him down.


    Chagaev KO/TKO late rounds.

    He was inactive because he had a bad shoulder injury that he was allowing to heal. He didn't want to do it surgery, wanted to do it naturally.
