    That was basically an arm punch. There was absolut no power in that shot, how can he consitanly ko guys without any leverage behind his punches. it was always strange how a guy so light for his height has more power then guys like AJ, Wk or fury who are tanks compared to him

    Thomas Hearns must have no power because he's light and skinny right ?

    wilder simply hits that hard. That right hand looked like a cobra strike, its not only the power but the speed

    I have no doubt in my mind Robert just took a dive
    If you don't believe me, believe at least this:
    Wilder never takes a fight where his chances of winning aren't high unless it's for money
    Robert was his old training partner, it looked real shady

    He planted Duran on his face what you mean? Wilder landed a big shot when Helenius was coming in. Looked like the Szpilka KO

    Ah yes, I'm coping with the fact that at best Wilder just beat a C+ fighter
    Go outside man, get off the internet, there's more to life than a random boxing forum

    Helenius ran face first into it, fully exposed and in the worst possible position, and his eyes were locked on where he was punching so he didn't see it coming until it hit. Wilder in throwing it fully committed and would have taken a similar looking KO if Helenius was feinting to set up his own counter.

    What's doing the work here is two guys, both with some heavy mileage, still willing to throw with total abandon like they've never been punched before.

    It looked suspicious. Aren't Wilder and Helenius old sparring partners too?

    It had no extension on it and landed on the nose. No way it "knocks him out" for over a minute, unless he hit his head on the canvas.

    Guess it makes a buzz that Wilder is back though.

    He put just enough leverage into his punch and caught Helenius clean on the button. Do you think you can take that punch?

    People are acting like Helenius is known for being able to take a shot.

    A glancing blow is more than enough to KO guys with suspect chins like this.

    Has Scuba Helenius been taking lessons from Wilders Trainer Scuba Scott on how to dive? That was a pretty good one
