I know man....she is a damn good fighter tho

Honestly, never watched a single one of her fights.

Ever.

Well, Helenius is from Finland...

However, there are plenty of up and coming fighters from Scandinavia.

The Nielsen brothers, Torben Keller (although suffered a bad loss in his last fight), Erik Scoglund, Abdul Khattab, Yigit and my favourite Dennis Ceylan - He went to the Olympics last time around.

Keller is finished though. A damn shame.

As for scandinavian fighters, Larry should look out for Micki Nielsen. A promising babyfat cruiserweight with a very heavy punch and an undertaker look.

Also Oscar Ahlin. Perhaps the most entertaining of the new batch. Skoglund too. He beat ancient Glen Johnson last time out.

As for this fight, well Yigit will be the favorite. Odd situation where Yigit is the promotors man, but Poulsen will have massive backing from the crowd. Poulsen has moved to austria to continue his career and it will be a great feeling for him to come home and show what he has learned. In the past he has had an annoying tendency to hold his opponent and box down to his level. He'll have to be on top of his game here. Yigit is fast and a good talent.
