Comments Thread For: Johann Duhaupas Crushes Robert Helenius With Big Knockout

I didn't catch the fight yesterday but I have been watching clips on youtube of the fight. Helenius never really got his mojo back after numerous layoffs in last several years. He put on a lot of extra weight as a result his movement declined and his punches don't have the 'snap' they once did. But credit to Duhaupas for that gritty and 'grind out' performance where he took some good shots but was effective with his comeforward pressure offense.

Here's some clips of the fight:

ddaaaaaammmmn what a right hand!

Helenius is a good combination puncher as we saw in the clips but he was pushing his punches rather than snapping them out with force and speed. Maybe this loss will wake him out and make him work harder in the gym.

He has always had a tendency to push with his punches though, hasn't he? I don't think that is something new that only showed up for this fight.

main problem with helenuis is he had no stamina and not that good of a chin . his career was managed bad

When a guy crushes a guy who then crushes another guy that's a pretty lopsided triangle.

Could be, I just don't buy it. How many times have we seen the 'next fight' for the high-hoper turn out to be his worst fight? A bunch.

So you are going with the resumes are meaningless argument because each fight is a different one off event?

So Fury's win over Wlad means nothing and I could legitimately rank Wilder ahead of him just because I think Wilder will beat Fury.

We're talking theories here friend. Nothing more.

It isn't untrue, because boxing fans are very much what have you done for me lately and things can change fast in boxing. Most here are not big on that sort of theory.

Judging from those highlights Helenius had a lot of good moments in the fight. Hardly looked like "a shell of himself" as others are trying to categorize his performance.

Great win for Duhaupas. He deserves full credit.

Yeah, he really didn't look that bad. Looked quite a bit more fluid than I remember him actually, and landed some excellent shots. Duhaupas just has a head like a rock and never stops coming forward.
