Nobody is taking a Wallin fight for short money.

Odds on a Helenius KO?

[Tatabanya]

You'll lose. Helenius is slow and got a bum chin. AJ might have had some big bumps in the road, but no way in hell does Helenius win.

Logically speaking, you are perfectly right, and I'm not wasting too much on that bet. Just taking a shot at getting a coupla hundreds with a coupla tenners, based on AJ's mental issues. Even reading his latest interview on this week's Boxing News, he's saying things that reveal his current insecurity.

I mean, all it takes is a single shot to the head to make Joshua freeze and panic. That's where I'm aiming.

Will late replacement lightning strike twice?

Aj being on a rebuild prepping for Wilder 6 year's past it's relevance, this is the perfect opponent. Same stature as Wilder & in his favourite age range of 38-41 slow & shot.

At least we'll get a 3rd relevant comparison fight, Wilder slept both Molina & Brazeale while Aj got tko's, so I'm expecting an Aj tko. Probably inside 6.

HAGLER LOST! Get over it.

In a weird way I am SLIGHTLY more interested in this than AJ/Whyte 2. Fresh match up, really late replacement, guy who has recently fought Wilder. Still a pretty ****ty fight for AJ to waste time with but I dont feel like much has been lost after Whyte ****ed off.

I figure AJ has turned the corner. He used to tear heads off. I don't give Bob much chance, but he has one. AJ is shot.

[SN!PER]

There's actually a chance for an upset.

Watch AJ in the 1st round... if he comes out aggressive trying to KO Helenius faster than Wilder did, the probability of getting countered by Helenius rises dramatically. But the most likely scenario is AJ just starts slowly in the opening rounds and waits for the opportunity to come later.
