Robert Helenius TKO8 Lamon Brewster...

[BrooklynBomber]

I dont think Brewster should be fighting anymore, im not impressed at all that somebody stopped him, he was limited before, but now hes completely shot. At this point, retirement for the betterment of his health is critical.

I used to have a reproduction of the painting in your avatar back in HS years. I actually aquired it from my HS arts lab.

Way to keep on topic, Brook!...

...Helenius landed a hard right uppercut to send Lamon stumbling into the next turnbuckle being in no condition to continue...time was 2:31 min of round 8.

Good win for the Finn who could fight for a EU/EBU belt next...this was Helenius 11th pro fight...

i guess lamon is definately down on his luck

[TheGreatA]

could you explain the signifigance of that last line?

Meaning that his fights aren't as talked about as Asikainen's were. In fact I didn't find anything on the news about his upcoming fight with Brewster.

Sounds like a good fight and a good perfomance by Helenius. Brewster should have retired after losing to Klitschko in my opinion. He hasn't been the same after the Lyakhovich fight.

I still hope they don't "rush" Helenius because a win over Brewster at this point doesn't necessarily prove he is world class yet.

lamon should retire, lyakhovich took everything he had left

2 Million points to anyone who uploads the fight to youtube....

However Helenius fights out of Sweden/Germany.. He doesn't receive much hype here due to this compared to Asikainen.

Is Helenius completely Finnish, though? I know Asikainen was born there, but is half Moroccan... I don't know how they perceive the latter, but he seems as suomalainen as anyone I've seen (through interviews and whatnot), despite his rather darker appearance.

That's a shame. Brewster still has name value, and more publicity should've been warranted Suomessa - especially if there's a possibility of Helenius moving up the European ranks and giving some much-needed credibility to Finnish boxing.

It'd be cool if he could face a British HW sometime. That way I'd either get to see it live, or otherwise talk to people about it around here.

I am watching the fight right now. I'm quite impressed by the novice finn. He actually gets some good leverage into his punches despite his lanky appearance.

Helenius was born in Stockholm I think, his father is Finnish and they moved from Sweden to Finland when Robert was like 4 years old

I need to see this guy. Sounds better than Tony Halme, at least.

Hyvä Suomi!

well thats not hard thing to do...

well Sauerland man Francesco Pianeta has the EU belt to so that fight is easy to make if Sauerland wants it...
