    Looks like Sprott carries a better reputation outside the UK than in it.... As someone else pointed out, if any of the top British heavyweights faced him they'd be accused of picking a past his prime journeyman. He's been in with a lot of good opponents but he's lost to all of them, Helenius given his credentials and stage of his career should be in with far better opposition than Sprott. Even Fraudley knocked out Sprott ffs. Helenius will win this via early stoppage. Let me know when the Finn is in with a live opponent and competent judges.

      I never, ever thought I'd see someone use the word "athletic" to describe Helenius. :laff:

        OK I'll deal with another tuneup since he did have a bad shoulder injury. Can't wait for the 100% Helenius to fight again though. He'd annihilate Areola, Povetkin, Adamek, Mitchel, Wach, Fury etc etc.

            it's a tough 2nd fight back from a bad injury. if he wins(which he should easily)then i expect him to be right back in the mix. at some point he does owe chisora a rematch & by looking at his resume i'm certain sauerland will make it happen. i'm still high on helenius & beating 3 former world champions in your 1st 16 fights can't be overlooked regardless of the chisora fight. he is still a top contender in my eyes...

              This fight is clearly just to see if Helenius has really recovered, any other speculation would be pointless. Sprott was surprisingly good vs Gerber so heīs right for the part: if Helenius destroys him he can move on to bigger fights. If not.. I really donīt know.

                Sprott is a tough fighter and I like him a lot.

                the way this fight goes is that Sprott will start well but once Helenius lands his first big punch then it will be over.

                Afterwards he should rematch Chisora
