thats a very decent fight. While i dont count teper out i think a fit helenius hits way too hard. Dude is a monster puncher IMO and teper himself has good power but i rate helenius much higher. Its about how good tepers chin is cause hes gonna open up and helenius gonna catch him with clean counters. if teper can take well then helenius is in trouble

[The Hammer]

Very good HW fight.

Teper is underrated, Helenius may lose if he's not back to top form.

Was Helenius injured during the Chisora fight. ? If he was not he has reached his ceiling and I say Teper beats him handily.

Helenius indeed injured his hand (shoulder?) in the first round of the Chisora -fight. That being said, I believe he lost that fight. Everything depends his form coming in to the Teper fight. IF he is 100% fit, I believe he is getting the W. Anything other he will lose by decision (the guy has tremendeous chin).

This is indeed a good fight. Im expecting the winner to fight for a portion of the world title at some point in the next 1,5 years.

Helenius Wilder would be awesome shootout if that fight could be made. I just don't see Wilder people taking that fight anytime soon. And because Helenius has fought only drunken morons since coming back, we have no idea about his shape or form. Interesting to see.

Interesting fight. This should go some ways in telling whats up with the current form of Helenius.

Crazy to think its been 4 years since the Chisora fight & this is his biggest step since then. Even doe I had Chisora winning the fight if you'd have asked me if I thought Helenius would've gotten a title shot within a year of that W I'd have said yes more than likely. He just seemed destined for a title shot at one point.

Helenius lost to chisora on my card but everyone knows the injury he suffered derailed his career then he hurt his hand & had promotional troubles. If he doesn't hurt his shoulder early in the Chisora fight how would his career have gone? teper has some nice momentum going after beating Duhaupas & david price so he is confident going into this fight. That being said before the Chisora fight Helenius had wins over Brewster, Liakhovich & Sam Peter. He had a lot of momentum too but will the ring rust hold him back? A healthy & motivated Helenius is a big step up for Teper. A win for either will put them in line for a title shot. Helenius is still in his early 30s. I have a feeling Teper is going to be on his back. He likes to throw bombs & is easy to hit. Price had the power but didn't have the heart. Helenius is a legit top 10 HW when he is healthy. You could argue he is a top 5 right now If he remains healthy. I see this as the fight Helenius puts himself back into contention. I think teper is a good fighter but Helenius is no David Price & he hits a lot harder then Duhaupas so I have a hard time picking Teper winning this one. It only takes one punch in the HW division to shake things up...

He obviously injured his hand when he connected with that huge punch early on Chisora. You could see Chisora basically running across the ring for his life. I think Helenius injured his shoulder during the ring walk when he shot his arm up in the air to the crowd. Watch it and see what you think. It would be excellent if the guy can get back on track though. Him and Wilder would be a great matchup.

Not sure what's big about it. They're both mediocre at best. Helenium has looked terrible ever since the wins over the ghosts of Brewster n peter

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Helenius is a big stiff bum who got battered by Chisora.

The winner of this fight will probably get flattened by Joshua next year.
