Comments Thread For: Photos: Deontay Wilder Crushes Robert Helenius With One-Punch in One

[Ropeydope]

My thoughts exactly

This was Malik Scott all over again

DIVE.

Just not as blatant as the one Malik took, where the clown got ¨KOd¨ by a set-up slap and a blocked right hand

We already know Wilder doesn't punch THAT hard, not to the point of icing people with a half assed punches

Fury took full torque windmills from Wilder and survived, and before somebody claims that Fury is the second coming of George Chuvalo and impossible to KO, this is the same guy that got floored by cruiserweight Cunningham

Anyone with boxing experience would be skeptical if you watch closely. The weight transfer just isn’t there the way he awkwardly came off the ropes. He doesn’t even make contact with the front of the fist. Nah, I ain’t buying it. He can be the most powerful puncher in the world for all I know, but that was not a ko punch. Even Charlie Zelenoff took Wilders shots better than that. Helenius took the money and called it an early night.

***in hell man... Looks like Helenius passed away in that photo.

This type of comment entirely strips context and is disingenuous in nature.

Fury was caught hands low, chin up off balance and knocked over by a massive, ridiculously fast overhand. But he was not actually hurt badly by the shot itself.

The vast majority of HWs would have been dropped if they found themselves in this exact situation.

Chuvalo spent most of his career fighting sub-200 lbs fighters. Are you one of those hipsters who buy into the "back in the day" nostalgic nonsense?

Also, when did Fury ever get hit by a full torque right hand off Wilder? He was stepping back and rolling most of the punches.

You make a good case for a dive. Same as Malik Scott, he was a long time sparring partner that knew he had no chance and took the easy way out instead of receiving a real Wilder punch. I’ve watched it from every angle available. Wilders stance was narrow, feet weren’t set, bouncing off the ropes,slapping punch landed on the cheek bone and nose not jaw or temple. The announcer was right to liken it to Ali’s “phantom punch” on Liston. I don’t buy that either.
I’m generally no conspiracy theorist. We can’t know for certain, but my intuition is he was overmatched and took an easy out first punch that landed.

You have a room temperature IQ.

All one need do is look at a ringside view of the KO. Deontay is a literal freak who can generate tourque while being squared up. It literally sounds like a gun going off on Helenius' face.

My assumption is ge was falling Into the punch but not expecting a hook to be their.
It's tge ones you don't see that put you out.

The guys who are claiming that it was a dive are the same guys who claim that the earth is flat.

Quite literally the worst angle I’ve seen. Totally inconclusive. But hey, I don’t even know how I’m writing this with an IQ of 21 degrees celsius.

This is the best I’ve seen. https://******************/opHe4FzWNN4?*************
Hit him with an arm punch, no extension, with the front of the knuckles. A painful blow at best, that would rattle a guy, due to the punch placement, but a big dude like Helenius should be able to get up from that. He took the easy way out. The pay is the same.
