Booo, Helenius' chin has been shattered. He should be fighting the likes of Wach and Ustinov, not Kownacki

Helenius was conveniently ranked prior to this fight been announced. This is how these corrupt organisations work. In 2 years time we would have fans saying “Kownacki beat a top 10 HW in Helenius” SMH

WBA has 2 clowns with “belts” - yet they won’t fight! Charr. and that dude King promotes. Making this an eliminator is pouring urine on a turd

Unfortunately. This fight makes no sense. Adam should fight better ones.
However, I understand his advisors -- most probably, opposite to other lesser fighters (various Szpilkas, Stivernes, Ortizes, Arreolas, Washingtons, Breazeales, Molinas, Whytes, etc.), Adam in his prime will have ONLY ONE CHANCE for the belt. I dunno if it is because the so-called media do not like him (which appears to be an absurd taking into account how spectacular he fights in HW) or the so-called big three is afraid of him, especially after Ruiz's win over favourized Joshua.
I'd prefer a brave Adam who would maul future opponents from top 10 before having the belt battle but in case he loses with a good opponent, he won't be given a belt fight chance at all.
Sad but true.

3 HW fights this night though!

[Rip Chudd]

Breazeale was right

[El_Mero]

This has to be a step down imo. Disspointed that Kownacki chose Helenious. Anything to keep that "0" i guess....

I'd actually enjoy seeing Kownacki and Whyte fight it would be hilarious watching Kownacki walk him down. Whyte talks a big game and in today's heavyweight landscape he is higher on the totem pole skill wise than past eras but really he just does that.... talk a big game. We need better fights with the bigger guys. Who cares if they lose their zero the idea is weed out the weak and bring out the best in each other. At least it used to be that way.
