    • I can't help but think karma has bitten Kownacki (or his team) in the ass here. The whole world wanted the breazeale fight and he went with the perceived soft touch. As a side note, I think if he'd taken a knee and saw out the end of the round, he would have ko'd Helenius in the next round.

          • Martin vs Helenius makes alot of sense now. Martin beat Washington (the man who beat Helenius) and Helenius best Kownacki (Who beat Martin). Helenius will be waiting a looong time if he thinks he is gonna wait for the WBA mandatory to be made, theres a ton of fights ahead before that fight would be made.

            • I wasn't high on Kownacki and saw the red flags with the last few rounds of Martin and his way too competitive fight with a shopworn Arreola. Helenius is pretty shopworn himself but he's big and has a powerful right.

              Kownacki's slowness, aggressiveness and poor defense finally got him. He was on his way to stopping the Nordic Nightmare until he wasn't. I think Breazeale would have probably done the same.

              Wonder if we will see Ajagba vs Helenius and Kownacki vs Cojanu next.

              • I figured Kownacki would get beat, I didn't think it would be Helenius.

                • Adam got greedy. It's like old George Foreman would say, "don't follow the puncher."

                  If Kownacki had just been patient and defense-minded, Helenius would've gassed out.

                  • Helenius is in big for money. Best case scenario for him is to take step aside money for a Fury and Joshua/Pulev fight then fight the winner.

                      That would be interesting fight. I wouldn't mind seeing Ajagba against Helenius either. Martin isn't terrible but sometimes seems to need to be convinced of that in the ring. Efe looked a little apprehensive against Cojanu and got caught a few times.

                      I'd favor both (especially Efe) over Helenius but the Nordic Nightmare, while shopworn, can crack pretty hard and would probably make both think before getting too aggressive.
