      and kelvis, helenius got an embarassing decision win over derick chisora. this was a green chisora, too. 16 fights. i think he was coming off of a loss aginst tyson fury when he was extremely fat and hand't discovered roids.


      and SD loss in europe should be officially counted as a win.


      incidentally, chisora is one of the lightest punching 250 lb world title challengers i've ever seen.

        Teper is not a bad Euro level fighter though. He's a tough, rough fighter and I think he could well be too much for Helenius who likes time to think and box.

          I think its an interesting fight to see where Helenius is at. Pretty crazy to think back to how close Helenius was to a title fight to where he's at now. F#ck promoters.

          If Helenius gots anything left from a couple years back he should KO Teper & should still win even if he's a shadow of the couple years back Helenius. Teper's claim to fame is KOing a glass jaw hype job after all. Nothing to get too excited about.

          The most interesting thing would be if Helenius still gots it & wipes the floor with Teper & then Joshua comes into play. Helenius would be the first guy Joshua would be in the ring with that'd be hitting him back. I'd be super curious to see what goes down in that fight.

            You made a mistake there, Helenieus has one loss.

              Still hit hard enough to drop that 6'4 overhyped US softy Scott.

              I still think chisora beats any American heavyweight, Wilder would be a good fight but he pulled out of the bout.

                MMA is bigger than boxing in the US. But yeah, Ronda Rousey is cute.

                  If we see the Bob Helenius of old then I think beats Teber in a close fight. He's got a height and reach advantage and Helenius is a skilled boxer with the "amateur pedigree" as Teddy Atlas would say. Back about 4 years ago, I was pretty high on Helenius and thought he'd be a top contender. If you look at his record, and have seen his fights, you'll see that he has a lot of quality wins for a guy 21-0.

                  Teper on the otherhand is a tough hard hitting come forward fighter who has also fought and beat some quality opposition in his short pro career.

                  On paper, this is a great matchup. Robert Helenius looking for a big win to get back into the HW mix, and Teper and up-and-coming guy looking to get to the next level.

                    Glad it's not just me, Chisora is a good fighter. He was meant to fight Wilder a while ago, it would be a solid fight. I don't rate Wilder so my money's on Deebo

                      This happens just one week after Anthony Joshua vs. Dillian Whyte.

                      The winners of each fight should get it on after that.
