I hate to tell the EBU, but last we heard of him Helenius' career was in question and there it is not certain that he is coming back.
Where you get this? His father posts in finnish boxing forum and he said he is definitely coming back. That was not the last we saw from robert against Dereck.
Walker badly hurt Pulev and was able to catch Pulev with his right hand many times in early rounds so I'm pretty sure Helenius would do the same and u know, Helenius is bigger puncher with a 100x better timing so I can see some troubles for Pulev. And it's funny how much people are talking **** about Helenius. Chisora beat him but Chisora aint bum. You gotta remember that Helenius has less than 20 fights in his record and so far his record his VERY impressive. This fights not gonna happen, I'm pretty sure about it but I think Helenius would take this. Pulev has no power to hurt Helenius and on the other hand it is Helenius that is known about hurting his opponents. Klitschko beat Chisora but it was Helenius who was able to hurt Chisora far more effectively than V.Klitschko. And I see the height differene as a major point too. Helenius can box and counter nicely but he just gotta remember to use his jab. Helenius by KO, if Walker was able to catch and hurt Pulev it's pretty obvious that Helenius can do the same and that's a KO victory for Robbe :good I'm waiting for Robbe's comeback, He is the most entertaining heavyweight out there. Yeah gotta admit: I'm a fan!
You may have your sources but sorry you are wrong. Helenius is coming back and that's a fact. No need for this kind of rumours.
If Robb does fully heal, which is likely, then it will be interesting to see if he's made any improvements by then. Theoretically, since he can't use his right for a long time, he could use that time to work on his jab, his conditioning, & his overall defense / footwork. I have a feeling that Robb doesn't have that kind of work ethic, but if he did, his comeback could be spectacular. Pulev is good enough that Robb might actually be motivated to work harder than in the past. We shall see.
Pulev is a real good fighter. I would love him to fight that big ugly Nordic **** Roberto Hellenius. The sore shoulder guy.
If Saurland does't want to make this fight, I wonder how the EBU would feel about Helenius-Price? That would be one heckuva' matchup.
Helenius father writes in in Finnish boxing forum so that's a pretty good source :good And finnish media interviewed Ulli Wegner couple of weeks ago. Helenius has recovered from the surgery pretty well and he is already doing some training with his right hand. Of course everything can happen cause we're talking about bad injuries but at the moment there's nothing but good news about his recovering. So don't worry, I promise: he will be back :good
I doubt Helenius gets healthy quickly enough for this to happen. Plus, while Helenius is more exciting, Pulev is just a better fighter. IMO, he's the 4th best heavy in the world at the moment head to head. Probably too cautious and feather fisted to take down a Klitschko, but he's already better than guys like Chagaev and Ibragamov ever were.
