Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua To Now Face Robert Helenius

[Zelda]

It is funny (in an unfortunate way) but it seems Fury vs Ngannou will be the most interesting and entertaining fight we will see in HW this year.

I’m for betting on the upset, Helenius can’t take it but he can punch so anything can happen here!

Pointless unless he knocks him out in a round they gonna say Wilder gonna beat him. AJ will look bad but win

If Helenius pulls this off, it's game over for AJ's career.

Helenius wins by KO

I am always in Helenius corner when he's on any card.
It would be a tough win for him... but he's definitely better lately than given credit for.
Just so he can fend off most of the incoming... he has the skill and power to stop Joshua.
We'll see how it goes.

Due to the circumstances i dont think this is too bad at all, as a non ppv card

At least this doesnt mess up the undercard .

What is this a joke? Easy work! I wonder how many seconds Helenius last? Unless AJ decides to carry him because obviously he is coming to lay down for a pay check.

What makes you think that?

[Willow The Wisp]

Go Helenius!!!

Still a better opponent than Ngganou...

I know it is a fashion statement these days to dish out Ngannou but he is a big, powerful guy with punching power. I believe he knocks out Helenius. Let's see his performance against Fury and if he continues in boxing to see who he can beat.

Fury may make the fight look easy because he is a big guy and can move around and dodge punches easily, but not a lot of current HW boxers will do that in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if Ngannou actually gets a ranking between 5-15 if he continues to fight HW boxing. MMA is a superset of boxing so his transition would be easier compared to a boxer going to MMA.

Its not a particularly interesting fight but nor was the original fight. At least this is a fresh opponent and someone who has recently faced Wilder.
