Decision ? Man that would mean it goes the distance, unless stopped on a TD. Possible or impossible? its not impossible for Helenius to win a decision. But how likely is it? less than a 10% chance. I know its Joshua, so you can't say for sure that he will win, theres always a "What if?" with AJ. When Wilder fought Helenius, I was damn sure he would win, no doubt in my mind. I'm sure a lot of you guys thought the same? It's worth a look at Helenius last fight against Mielonen. Not the most exciting fight but this is where Helenius is at: This content is protected I think that Joshua will start to get to him by round 3 and I don't see it lasting longer than round 7. Helenius looks like he can take a few shots, but he is there to be hit. If AJ can land the jabs and left hook, he should be able to fold Helenius by round 7 at the latest.
Exactly, and even if he did, which he won't, it's a matchroom card in London. He could win every round and wouldn't get the decision.
Helenius can not take a few shots, the man has always been packing glass and shells up when he gets hit.
Okay. Barring the Wilder fight, Helenius has never been stopped before round 6. What I mean is that against Joshua, even though Helenius is there for the taking, I don't see AJ really opening up on him until about round 3, and then its up to him how much longer it lasts. AJ is more cautious than Wilder, and I think he will look to soften him up a bit before he goes in for the finish.
He's gotten so bad ever since those Ruiz knockdowns, it's as if he was knockout planted now just imagine how AJ would be performing or if at all if that instead occurred, see the little guys do it all the time undeterred coming forward never stopping it's just they don't get enough respect for it.
There’s absolutely no way Helenius wins a decision in the UK. Hell, one judge had Joshua winning the second Usyk fight.
Helenius would need 4 knockdowns to 0 to get a draw vs AJ. It’s either a KO or bust for Helenius. As someone said one of the hometown judges had AJ beating Usyk in the second fight, and in the first fight the cards were ridiculously close.
According to Bovada, if I was to put $1,000 on the Viking to win a decision I'd pocket $25,000 in return. I'd be set for the rest of the year. I still think I'm better off just wiping my ass with that $1,000 than investing on Helenius.
