    How do you see their styles matching up? Looking to place bets on AJ 7-12 +220 and Robert +900 straight up.

    +900 a bit wide, worth a shot

    Not likely, but there are other fights on the undercard, Chisora fight for example. Odds are just too good on Washington

    Anybody know if Joshua has the one way rematch in his favour should he actually lose to Helenius or does Hearn himself know that there is no point or any need as Joshua is done if he loses this fight !

    50/1 1-3 his only chance.

    But AJ before 5 is the sensible bet.

    I've got AJ round 1, AJ round 2 with Helenius knocked down inside the first minute, both fighters knocked down within the first three rounds, and AJ to win round 1 after being knocked down.

    Just some fun bets with $20 really.

    About 3-4%

    Dubious has more chance of upsetting Usyk... at 6.5%

    Nganou has 0.5% chance of upsetting Fury

    AJ is a miracle worker because in most of his fights he finds a way to look bad in one regard or another.

    5%-10%, a remote punchers chance.

    Very unlikely but the odds I still think have value on Helenius. And Lepinthehood is right, take Helenius early if you are going to bet it. If the fight goes past 5 rounds (which I don't really see happening), Helenius will lose.

    I wrote this is another thread, I'm going to take under 5.5 and Helenius in rounds 1-3.

    Next to no chance. He stopped the Polish Sausage Kownacki cos he has simply no defence. And it took a few good clean punches to stop the sausage.

    Joshua has a decent defence and is way quicker and way better technically than Helenius.

    Joshua should stop him by round 4.

    It's heavyweight boxing and he's coming off some pretty uninspiring performances so +900... Why not? Just don't bet the house.

    I basically give Helenius zero chance and I think this fight smells.

    I think he's there to lie down in the 1st round - thus duplicating Wilder's performance against the same fighter. And I think that would be very useful for Hearn in trying to put together a fight between Wilder and Joshua.

    No chance at all. Helenius is slow, easy to hit, stiff, chinny, washed up...no chance!
