I doubt it will happen but Helenius by late boring KO. Helenius is a fat **** who cant box and Thompson is old as dirt.
helenius ko8. But according to his father's interview roberts next bout will likely be ebu title or against Johnson.
Helenius would probably win by late KO while being behind on the cards. Risky fight for him though, the KO will not always come.
Thompson is underrated on ESB but in reality he's not the kind of guy(seasoned southpaw) Helenius should be fighting unless he's desperately trying to get a mandatory with Wlad for some reason.
I wholly agree, although this one could be a barnburner. :bbb Both have lazy jabs and powers straights. That means someone is gonna be eating a hard R or L straight early and often. I give the edge to Helenius on power and speed, but the crafty Thompson would look to exploit Helenius slow pace and would likely NOT be hypnotized by it, maintaining his own speed level, winning rounds, and a decision if it went to the cards.
