    I'm not a fan of Helenius, but props for that combo

    I don't like him either...(well...let's just say that i'm indifferent). Nice finish though...A shame for Sergei.

    He seems slow as a glacier until he finds an opening and then he is quite fast and hard as ****. Another brutal KO from Helenius.

    He's dangerous. His style isn't candy for eyes but the fights tend to end with omg-effect.

    Spot on. He does look slow and plodding, but it almost is for the effect of hypnotizing his opponent, then WHAM, BAMM, you're KTFO:bbb

    What's not to like about the fella? He hurts his opponents and gets hit a bit. He's fun to watch.

    Helenius is very unspectacular from a skill and fundamental standpoint, but his power is very dangerous. That was a devastating combination.

    I like how Sergei's corner threw in the towel 10 seconds after the referee stopped the fight.

    That's cool to see on a heavyweight.

    But Helenius is 16 fights and fought a guy who was not even a contender.

    It's common to see fighters with 16 fights, not in top level, win in that impressive fashion. When they reach top level, it's harder.

    Don't let the Liakhovich win confuse you.

    Helenius is an excellent finisher. That's his true asset. Otherwise, however, he looks deeply flawed. Not in any way is Helenius comparable to the Klitschko Bros. when they were at a similar developmental stage in their careers.
