I didn't read this whole long thread so I'm quite sure I'm not the only one to speculate that this was a fixed fight. Helenius didn't seem to be trying. I didn't see him throw a single right with bad intentions - and he surely knew that he couldn't win by decision in that place.Comment

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.
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.Last edited by Boxviewer; 08-13-2023, 12:47 AM.Comment

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 ?Comment

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...Comment

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 anymoreComment
