    Charles Martin would be a winnable fight, southpaw open to Helenius' right hand and Martin did lose to Kownacki albeit in a close fight. But will Martin want it, he's done bugger all since beating Washington in an eliminator.

    He should have some good money at the end of his career. he earned it,

    I want him to fight someone like Ruiz and Parker

    He apparently suffered a broken orbital bone in rd 1, he might of very well got cracked early and was compromised for the rest of the fight. So maybe we didn't see the best of Kownacki but then he should have really improved his defence even a little bit after what happened in fight 1. Unless he learns to slip a punch or at least block a punch with something other than his face he needs to quit because he's a brain injury waiting to happen with his style.

    Put him in with Otto Wallin.
    Finn v Swede.
    Stage it on the border, inside the arctic circle.

    Hmmm, maybe get him to fight Hrgovic for a mandatory?

    If no one else will fight him why not?

    I think both eyes were closing at the end. Not buying any excuses though. Came in his usual poor condition and could not dance for sheeit. Walking might be the best option given this and that Helenius is a guy who's been around well over a decade and probably won't ever be in a title fight.

    Kownacki was tailor made for him and he took his soul already in the first fight. Harmfully age is getting in to him just now when he has been fully healthy for couple of years.

    Could Helenius avenge his fallen ancestors from the First Swedish Crusade of the 1150's?

    At 38 years of age, he should take the path that pays more, he wont be around too much longer so get paid whilst you can..

    Helenius is half Swedish himself.
    Many fins are.

    Ive been one of the fastest and loudest to point put Helenius' overrated cult status on here for many years. But he did well with the Kownacki W and repeating it. Credit there.

    Swedish speaking Finn vs. a Swede

    If Helenius walks out something composed by fellow Swedish-speaking Finn Sibelius, there's no way he could lose this one.
