Comments Thread For: Weights: Adam Kownacki 265-Pounds, Robert Helenius 238

Kownacki is a bit heavy again and Helenius appear to be in pretty good shape. My head says Kownacki will just blitz Helenius and crack his chin like he did against Washington, but Kownacki is easy to hit and you can land straight down the pipe on him with a reach advantage. Kiladze showed us that, Martin had a lot of success in the 2nd half of that fight as well. Wonder what happens if Helenius lands big straight rights on Kownacki's chin?

Kownacki has never been even rocked by noone despite all those punches he ate. Thus, I think also Helenius cannot hurt him with any of his straight rights.

Helenius has piss poor stamina though. Vs Whyte, he had some success early on and ran Whyte into some decent right hand counters, even hurting him.
But he already felt the pace in round 4 and decided to coast and run down the clock lol.

In fairness, he took that fight on really short notice, but you are correct in that he does have stamina issues. That's why he probably has to find a way to get Kownacki out of there, cuz he will gas late and Kownacki will just keep coming and punching. Stoppage win for Kownacki is by far the most likely outcome

Helenius Obliterated Sam Peter with hellish shots. That was a long time ago but I wouldn't rule an upset out so easily.

If Kownacki weren't so skilled and heavily favored, I'd say his weight would be a problem. He does however, need to get hie weight under control, if he has any hopes of being competitive at the highest level.

It just freaked me out that Kownacki is that heavy
Is that his usual weight
Do you know

Yes, pretty normal. He was dropping weight for Arreola from 270ish.

So he is on average

Sort of. As I sad earlier, he himself felt the best with 250ish, but for slower fighters he can weight more as he will anyhow volume them by big number of heavy hands.
I guess for a belt fight he will need to go down to 255 or something like that.

I don't know, but the couple of times I've seen him fight, he was chubby. He amazed me with how well he fought, despite it. However, I don't remember ever hearing of him weighing this much.

Yeah , he’s always big around the mid section
Sound boxer , don’t see him having problems with Hellenius
He does get hit a lot but seems pretty tough with a good chin
