I think Helenius stop Peter earlyer than Klitschkos did. Helenius to give Peter to attack and hit against. The match can end a surprisingly short. Peter is really easy to hit, especially the body
David Haye is being pronounced Super Champion, and someone will be given a WBA paper title fight. Nothing to brag about for the winner.
Yep - and the fight for the "regular" belt is rumored to be Povetkin vs Mormeck. Maybe not a "glorified sparring session" but still crappy move (there's no need for another sub-champ) and a pretty shitty match-up since there's Chagaev who's belt Haye is loaning.
Based on the styles and the height and reach advantage Helenius has, I'd say he is going to win quite comfortably, most likely by knockout. Good matchmaking by Sauerland. I expect Helenius to stick the jab at Peter's face and eventually put him out with the right hand.
I dont think Peter has much left & would be surprised if Helenius didnt stop him. However it only takes 1 punch to change a fight, this will be more competitive than some other recent heavyweight fights. Good to see Helenius taking this, he could easily have fought nothing but cans for the next couple of years.
I find this a great matchup. Helenius is coming off good wins against older have-beens, his confidence must be peaking right now. Peter is coming off a number of set-backs and knows one more loss and his chance at another title shot is heading to zero real soon. Peter has a decent enough chin to make this last for a couple of rounds and he can bang if given the chance. Helenius on the other hand has shown he can fight on his backfoot and throw good counter shots. Can't wait for this fight. Should not disappoint!
