Still 'injured', Robert?

It doesn't look like he's picking Pov at all. He's his stablemate so pulls for him, but all he's saying is he has a chance if he trained real hard, and Wlad is not throwing the jab all night

`Injured`?

Ah, Robs... My Finnish bwoy... Such a huge waste of talent. He has all tools to go far - great height, good jab, good uppercuts and great body shots, but ever since the Chisora fight he's suffered from the dreaded Audley Harrison syndrome of being utterly petrified of throwing his biggest weapon - the straight right.

I don't care how injured he was against Chisora, he's since looked exactly the same against Williams and Sprott, and damn near got stopped in both fights. And let's not even talk about the lack of conditioning. He should just fight Dimitrenko as was intended in 2011, but this time the loser should retire from the sport.

He was never in trouble in the Sprott fight, what you on about? In both the Williams and Sprott fights he more or less won every round bar that one where Tank stunned him. Hardly a disgrace against useful defensive foes coming in off decent wins.

I pick Chisora over Helenius.

Chisora did more damage than I thought

Thats what i read from it too. He knows his stablemate is about to get a beatdown.

Hadn't there been rumours about him sparring Haye for Fury? Guess it wasn't true.

What are you on about? They were disgraceful performances against journeymen with whom he should not have struggled. Sure he rightfully won the decisions and most of the rounds, but bloody hell he was out on his feet at some point in both fights. I can't remember the specific rounds, but seriously - Williams and Sprott had him "stumbling around like a drunk" (as Wlad Ownz always used to say about Lennox in the Vitali fight).
