+Maybe the hardest punch in the division... You could say the same about Duhaupas - isn't special, he's just big and goofy. -The punch. According to boxrec Duhaupas's got an 3" 1/2 inch in reach advantage over Robbie due. But I doubt it will make a difference in the fight, because he ain't that fast. And he couldn't shelter up like he did Wilder against Robert, because Robert is bigger and stonger, and would easily back him up in the clinch. Robert will take the middle of the ring, Duhaupass has to make it work whatever's left of it. But can he fight from the backfoot? That's the question...
I guess you guys haven't seen Helenius since his return. He looks absolutely terrible. He looked bad vs Franz Rill, an unknown German tomato can, and got his ass schooled by Timur Musafarov, who holds a record of 7-2. Helenius the hardest punch in the division? He scored 2 KO's in his last 6 fights. Chisora knocked one of those opponents out after 19 seconds.
I favour Helenius but this fight can really go either way.I tend to rank Duhaupas higher than Rill.The German-Canadien showed a very courageous performance against Helenius who didnt have a walk in the park with him. I ve never been sold on Helenius anyway.He was an extremely wayward amateur-losing to unheralded and unknown opponent,having very close fights with mediocre heavies,and at times winning against very good names. I guess Helenius has to put his best foot forward in order to win this upcomming fight.Duhaupas is excactly the kind of fighter who can upset the apple cart and take the zero away from the Swede.
Duhaupas is a very tough fighter. Teper had lots of trouble against him and it is possible he can score an upset victory here, because Helenius is not the same after his comeback.
You gotta admit that Rill looked good in that fight? He was giving up lots of size to Robbie but lost either way. Rill is by no means a tomato can, I would rank Rill to be somewhere in Duhaupas league to be honest, really... Do you actually rate punching power out of resumes? Stupid as hell if so... If you was standing against either one of them - who would think hit harder? You can't punch what you can't catch. That rule applies in boxing - everybody should know that... Wladimir couldn't even knock Fury down, but Pajek and Cunningham somehow managed to do it. Do they hit harder than Wladimir Klitschko too? .... Helenius will catch Duhaupas...
Helenius couldn't 'catch' the ultra glass jawed Michael Sprott, who has been knocked out about 20 times. If he really was that powerful, he would have knocked him out. Duhaupas will walk through Helenius. Robbie should have cashed out vs Joshua, in stead he is going to lose his 0 for low cash.
