Comments Thread For: Robert Helenius Blasts Liakhovich in The Ninth Round

[Ravens Fan]

4 weeks before the fight Teddy did not even suspect that he is going to train Povetkin, and he could not really train him due to contractual obligation with ESPN. Only when at a press conference Povetkin said he has no trainer, Teddy got concerned... and flew over to Russia.

That all may be true but he was still in training camp long before Atlas got there. And Povetkin ain't some new kid on the block prospect. He is 31 years old and was an amateur champion and he shouldn't need a boxing trainer to tell him he has to run and get in shape to win fights. But it is possible that Povetkin had Arreola's trainer over there before Atlas showed up, and therefore spent to much time doing 12 ounce curls with fries.

Great fight!

Helenius is a beast. He is one of the hardest punchers in the world.

Props to the White Wolf Lyakhovich, he showed incredible heart and toughness and was winning the fight until he got KTFO.

What a badass. I've seen a few of his fights on youtube and he looks like he is wearing concrete boots and punching underwater...but the power. He really turns a fight with amazing punching power, even if there has been no signs of it for like 7 or 8 rounds, then all of a sudden, fighters are having a snooze face down. A rare fighter.

Helenius is such a badass power puncher. Cant wait to see who he's lined up to next.

Would like to see Hellenius fight one of the top American HW's next, not the Klits. He still has to develop, but no doubt we are looking at a warrior here. A fight with Haye would be a blast, heh heh.

Feed this big, fat, slow, pudgy bastard to MANSOUR

Holy hell that man can punch! 3-4 more fights then see where he's at, then put him in a #1 contender fight. No need to rush, slow and steady Adamek style! Polish your ***** before you take on the champs.

I think him vs Vital would be a ****in war and a half, which I'd love to see, but I'd like to see him fight Wlad first since punchers always have a better chance against him then iron jawed Vital who will take your best shots and make you look ******.
