Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Expect Wilder To Win, But It's Winnable Fight For Helenius

[REMOVE SHARK 5510]

Helenius is finally in shape where he doesn't gas out in 2 rounds and he has power in both hands and is better boxer than Wilder. Only concern is him keeping his hands down too much and he might get knocked out

Still predicting Wilder to win by decapitation. But Helenius is a really big guy who can hit hard, so he always has a puncher’s chance. That’s what makes the heavyweight division entertaining to watch.

This heavyweight boxing , so yes ...but I'd give Helenius more or a chance against Joshua as I think Wilder has more of a chance of keeping Helenius at bay with his shock power and chances are as soon as he connects it's goodnight.Hearn is transparently desperate to try and keep Joshua on everyone's lips by this statements and hoping people forget his cash cow has been beaten 3 times out of his last five outings, likely soon to be 4 in his last 6.

Helenius backs up a lot and keeps his left hand low. I was watching the Whyte fight and when Wilder hits Helenius with the right hand as frequent as Whyte did, Robert will hit the canvas and stay there for a 10 count.

When was the last time time Wilder won a fight?

I’m gonna go against the popular opinion here and say Helenius shocks Wilder via late KO or by decision! When Helenius is in shape and actually is on form, the man has skills and can punch. I also think he looks a bit like Fury and will give Wilder a few flash back scares during their fight. Helenius certainly shouldn’t be underestimated here, I personally think this was a mistake choosing him for Wilders come back fight, an easier touch may have been warranted, but we will see.

Wilder is not good imo, but Helenius is worse.

One 'good' win for Helenius changes little.

I'd be surprised if Helenius goes in looking for anything other than a paycheck.
