    Winnable fight for Sprott against a poor excuse for a prospect.

    I expect Helenius to win in an unconvincing fashion. Really hope Helenius is picked as Price's comeback opponent. He is easily beatable yet has enough credibility to salvage Price's reputation.

    They wouldn't let Price near a puncher like Helenius for his comeback fight, no way,they'll stick him in with a no mark who he'll knock out in a round or 2.
    Price could beat him,but Helenius would have a very good chance of knocking him out.

    Not much notice for Sprott to get ready for this

    I think the fight has been on for ages, it's just taken a long while for it to be officially confirmed. I first heard about this fight in December I think and it was up on Boxrec for a while before being taken down.

    I think Helenius takes a hometown decision.

    I agree, but Helenius is so sloppy defensively that I still reckon Price would KO him first.

    I doubt Sprott does much in this fight.

    If Sprott turns up on form he can defo win. Helenius is crap, very overrated.

    Doubt he will though, likely get jobbed.

    If Sprott can be arsed he could turn Helenius over.

    He might just settle for a points defeat though as he's done previously.

    Fair play to Sprott he has had a decent career as a journey man.

    Sprott has had several months to prepare. It will not help him.
