He hit his head on the canvas, that's what concussed him. Or He just needed some sleep. You will note that AJ literally RAN out of the ring immediately so as to draw attention away from the sleeping Nightmare. It's all becoming clear....
I know right. Grazing punch. . The guy got absolutely splattered. As much of a ***** AJ is that was a bomb.
What was funny is that Helenius recovered rather quickly with no lingering signs after supposedly being knocked out cold. That in itself was suspicious.

It’s an outcome Helenius, and fighters like him, prefer over the alternative of never having the opportunity in the first place. All week long, Helenius repeated one particular line to several reporters in Finland and the UK: “Nobody will remember coward.”
Look closely at Helenius' left foot twitching, that was no doubt a crushing, full-on shot that landed very solidly.
In fact I'll go so far as to say that KO blow was equal to anything Wilder has landed, power-wise. AJ put everything he had into that, really was able to double-step and get his all into it - one of the most crushing shots I've ever seen.
AJ's KO shot of Helenius was a greater demonstration of power than Wilder's. Robert ran directly into Deontay's blow, greatly increasing the impact. Joshua caught Helenius on the very end of his punch as he was moving away - much more impressive!
Clearly a legit ko. But Joshua's running out of the ring celebration without even checking on Helenius was classless, disgusting in fact.
The Wilder KO was suspect and convenient but that looked like a very legit, very nasty KO. Also why the **** would you pay someone to take a dive in the 7th round when your main rival just KO'd that same person in the first? Joshua did not come away from that fight looking particularly good so if it was a paid dive he should ask for his money back.
