Anyone give Helenius a chance on Saturday?

[Larry the boss]

This is boxing, and neither are defensive wizards..anything can happen

[TMLT87]

I'd go about 80/20 in favour of Wilder.

If Wilder has trouble here (gets hurt and/or fight goes longer than 6-7 rounds etc) its not a good sign for him going forward. Helenius is decent enough but hes the kind of guy that a world class power punching HW should be getting out of there quickly.

Helenius is Wilder's sparring partner, that's all that needs to be said.

Wilder by brutal KO.

[11player]

Helenius tall and stiff style is taylor made for Wilder. But Helenius will outbox him and has KO power as well.

Ill go 70% on Wilder winning this one. Wont be surprised if Helenius gets it.

Helenius seems to run hot and cold.

Watching that Washington fight and just shaking my head as he was laying on the canvas, head resting on the bottom rope.... like this guy has no business losing that fight the way it was going.....what the hell is he doing?

Then he comes back and looks good last two fights, but he seemed to have Kownacki's number from about 2-3rd round of the first fight. I want to say he's "hot" right now but not sure what that even means because he was fighting a punching bag and he is already someone who can have the bottom fall out in an instant.

I'm a Fury fan and when I saw how sharp Helenius looked in the Kownacki rematch I have to admit I got a bit nervous. I was thinking if Wilder is handling that version maybe he will actually come out and looked improved - which I think he did before for the first cpl rounds when he was working off the jab.

Makes me think these two were getting very good work against each other and that maybe there isn't much to split. Helenius must have left those sessions feeling confident because he it was oozing off him in the Kownacki rematch - that was clinical.

Wilder just has so much more tenacity, really hard for me to see him staying down in this one

Too upright. Too slow. Leaves his head on the line

so, no.

Would Andy Ruiz have a better chance than Helenius?
