    Well said. Some folks are so confused or ****** that they don't know where to point a finger to.

      Nah, go watch Robert´s other KO losses. And his gas tank is terrible even with a proper camp and he knows AJ is faster so he didn´t want to risk it. All wrong imo, he should´ve gone there all guns blazing from the first bell to at least have a puncher´s chance.

        Exactly. What would be the point of just dawdling around killing time like he did. He didn't even seem to be trying in his chance of a lifetime - unless they told him, "No KO punches, Robert, got it?" We're talking about gangster-run boxing here.

          Thats not true. People remember Wilder being knocked out. The difference being the nature of the KOs. Wilder got an accumulative clubbing showing courage under fire. AJ has never shown that. In a firefight...AJ doesnt throw enough punches to ward off Wilder....whereas Wilder has consecutively shown his one punch power. And while the shot that knocked out Helenius was a good one....it wasnt something that hasnt been seen before.
          And yet Wilder couldn't knock out Greedy Belly with his famed one punch power in 3 fights but instead got knocked out twice by a none heavy puncher. I might be in the minority but I believe that AJ will take Wilder’s right hand better that Wilder will take AJ's.

          Having said that, I reckon that Wilder vs AJ fight will be an intriguing fight. The troubling thing is that Wilder seemingly dares not to fight any decent fighter since his consecutive knock out losses and he's just sitting and waiting to cash out with the AJ fight.

            It was a fairly even contest until it wasn't but with AJ looking decidedly worse for wear. Eyes shot, fat lip, bleeding from nose.

            But for a lucky shot from Big Bob and it could easily have been AJ getting floored, so yeah 'life and death' as a metaphor for how easy it is to be losing and then not or winning and then...GOOM. lights out.

            Now is that man enough for ya ?

              Who knows, but my guess still is RHs lack of confidence and his "trainer" who had literally zero experience of pro boxing before Helenius (their "game plan" vs Wilder was the dumbest shYte I´ve ever seen). But hey, at least Robert got paid before retiring.

                  Anyway that truly know boxing knows the result was a foregone conclusion and Helenius came for a saudi check to do his job and wait for the right hand and bye bye...

                      Thing I noticed last night was ajs lost his ability to counter punch

                      Look at the charles martin right hand counter he landed over Martins jab then look at the multiple opertunities he had to land a similar shot last night

                      He attacks methodically with a jab to create openings now and defends

                      He doesn't counter much like the old days which i think means hes lost a step

                      I don't even put it down to mental weakness I think he's just lost some timing and can't react to shots the same way anymore
