Robert Helenius vs. Sam Peter

[khepesh]

Peter is a fat slob, who can only swing wide punches coming forward. Someone with half a brain and twice the fitness level of peter should be able to work this out.

Slight chance of a Ko put most prob ud for Helenius.

You mean a tank who'd make his way through a brick wall if his life depended of it?

But yeah, that's how you beat them, get out of the way and punish them for their rushing. Use your mobility against the lack of theirs.

I don't like Helenius that much, but I think he'll win a decision or stop Peter late.

Thank you for an honest response, my beloved western neighbor

No one can be forced to like someone. Giving them the credit they deserve is all I can ask, and that's the code I go with.

He would certainly be the first truly promising professional HW from my country.

Robert also has pop, and he seems to be good at catching guys coming in. But will it be enough for Peter's granite chin in the end of non-existing neck? Remains to be seen...

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Helenius hurting Peter to the head but a body shot KO is far more likely i think. He has brutal body shots.

Helenius will probably win a decision unless Peter is completely shot. As limited as Peter is, it took Wladimir a ton of punches to put him out, and Helenius is content on winning a decision if his sharp-shooting doesn't finish off the opponent. Helenius would really have to go for the KO to get it over Peter and I doubt he'd put himself at unnecessary risk. Of course there's the chance that Peter is finished as a fighter and Helenius will have no trouble taking him apart.

All I hope is that Helenius gets a title shot somewhere down the line. It's been long enough since Olli Mäki challenged for the title some 50 years ago.

A very good call my fellow countryman, this is kinda "make or break" moment for Robert.

His in-and-out movement is quite good, he keeps his range and composure well, and is patient.

All this and many other things summed up makes me think we'll see a good tactical fight in which Peter trying to make it a war, while Helenius refusing to go at that and possibly disarming his hard-hitting brawling foe.

A Finnish tabloid has news about the weigh-ins for this fight:

Helenius: 108,5 kg (239½ lbs.)
Peter: 117,9 kg (260 lbs.)

I am very confident about victory for Helenius...

Peter has gone into Danny Williams mode by being so heavy.

He will be plodding and get hammered...as usual against the better fighters he fights.

[TheGreatA]

Peter is a fat tub again to the surprise of no one. It's time for Helenius to deliver, he's getting coverage on national television and is fighting a name opponent ripe for the pickings. If he loses it's just horrible for boxing in this country.

Peter will quit late in the fight. hes super out of shape, and Helenius, while limited, has enough power, boxing ability and height to make him give up.
