    Kownacki vs Helenius is flying under the radar IMO. Kownacki comes to fight everytime out, slugger, brawler, what have you. And exciting young man. And in Robert, sure he isnt a Heavyweight Champion in the making, but I'm sure some proly forgot he started 22-0, including wins over (maybe couple over the hills) in Brewster, Peter's and a win over Chisora in 2011. While back but still he is a skilled Heavyweight who can bang. I for 1 am excited for Saturday night. I'm taking Kownacki in an underrated scrap

    Kownacki needed 2 rounds to get rid of the last guy knocking Helenius out... Unlikely this will be competitive.

    Yes I am looking forward to this one. My Polish buddies in Warsaw are as well. I hope Adam looks good because Helenius knows this is do or die and will come to make it a fight.

    Gerald Washington the guy was. Helenius was winning that fight and he got lazy second half. Helenius is a good technician and he has size advantages here vs Adam. If anything it's a very interesting matchup

    Sugar Robert Helenius has been training like an animal and for once he has had better sparring partners than his usual journeymen. Yes, he's a sucker for short, crisp straight right hands but the fat, pear-shaped abomination is physically incapable of throwing anything like that. The bell saved both Whyte and Teper from getting destroyed in 3 rounds, at some point the luck of SRH's opponents is going to run out.

    I see SRH destroying that beached whale with contemptuous ease.

    KO2.

    Haymon's got plans for Kownacki.

    Robert's not invited to the party.

    What are those plans? Put him in a bunch of soft fights until he is absolutely forced to go in with a live body, and then cash him out?

    I for one am rooting for the butterball bout vs Ruiz. They both get lathered up with a melted stick of butter in between rounds, would be a war.

    Helenius is shot. In his prime he had decent wins over Brewster, Liakowitch and Peter, but he declined really fast because of injuries.

    Mate if you've broken into Haymon's safe and seen his top secret plan you'd better be more discrete. :eek:

    It actually has taken me years of painstaking research and studying, but alas I do believe I have cracked the code.

    Helenius is finished. And it seems mostly because he no longer wants to train, rather than any lingering effects of his injuries.

    The only fight I want to see him in is a Chisora rematch.

    As for Kownacki, I really like the guy, but he is our next guy to lose his career due to being a fat **** if he does not watch out.

    Faure v Dawejko is probably the only semi competitive fight on the card, maybe Alfonso v Negron too but they're both journeymen that no one cares about.

    Hoping Helenius can find a good shot and knock Kownacki out. Getting really sick of this dudes cherrypicking. Martin is the only 50/50 fight he's had this far. Doubtful though. Helenius has no chin now and he's not the hardest to hit. He might start off well but it won't take Kownacki long to find it. I do think there's a chance that this turns into a nice little shootout because of the stakes and the fact that this is Helenius' last chance to line up a big payday. He might just go for it.. hey Kownacki is no defensive wizard. Helenius can definitely find him with a big shot. Crazier things have happened at HW.

    Yep. Pretty clear that he wants to coddle and then cash him out in a big fight.

    I cannot imagine this will be too competitive. I expect Kownacki to pressure him, which Helenius will not be able to counter, and beat him down before the 5th.
