he aint ready yet. he just had a tough fight with siarhei. he needs better foot work. stamina is another problem.
he's no threat to Klitschkos ,he has no jab ,his footwork is terrible ,he's slow and soft . Power is the only thing he has.
I like his physical stoutness. He really seems to soak up punches well. He has one of those big, gumby bodies that absord punishment. Couple that with his serviceable stamina and obvious punching power in combinations and you have a threatining heavyweight.
Thats a damn shame too. Everyone who followed his earlier career knows that he can throw uppercuts, right hooks and even body shots. Just that he's so damn good at what he does now he doesn't seem to need a larger arsenal. Remember the Thompson fight he actually lead with a right uppercut in three exchanges in a row. Would love to see more of that.
There is always a Helenius every year, they pop up and are gone pretty fast: - Brewster, Peter, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Valuev, Arreola, Haye ... their greatness span is 1-3 years and they fade away Helenius aint gonna be different.
Helenius has lots of potential, but is not ready yet. His name is not big enough at this time. If he keeps fighting a lot he could be ready in a couple of years, but would still lose the fight. Right now Wilder is the big fight for Vitali or Vlad at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY. Wilder has the big name from the Olympics, was hyped a lot...........big money fight, rating would be huge, Wilder would get knocked out, but huge ratings, Americans are crazy about Wilder, they would go for it like UK fans did for Haye.................
He shouldn't even be thinking aobut the Klits yet. He should fight a few soft touches while fixing his hand, improving his conditioning, and commiting to being more consistent with the jab. I give a rat's ass what the haters say- this guy has got talent. But he should come up slowly from here.
no he wont..adamak has abslutly no chance against wlad..against vitali his speed could help him pull of the upset..it will be useless against wlad..
you are not blind my friend ...but some are ..Wlad is one of the best Hw's of all time ...and when I say best I nean hard to beat "now"
