Comments Thread For: Kownacki Doesn't Have Rematch Clause; Helenius Noncommital

[_Rexy_]

And guess how much Kownacki made last night? 100k... his boxing skills were as amateurish as Al Haymon managing skills for making him turn down that 5/6m for AJ.

Managers tell their fighters all the time to pass on fights that they aren't ready for. Somehow this is different though? You think it would have been the correct move to go from KOing Washington to the AJ fight?

Reminds me of a couple fights ago when Sims Jr. said he wanted to fight Fielding and the interview said "Why not Callum Smith?"

Why should there be a rematch clause? You cherry picked and lost. There was no belt on the line, so just move on. Work on some defense, fight better competition, and come back harder.

Pretty much this

Prizefighting... for 5/6m yes take the ******** fight.

There are levels though. If you were Dubois' manager last March would you have said "Take the money, who cares what happens to your health" knowing that the biggest test he had taken at that point was going the distance with Kevin Johnson?

Nothing to lose, take the money. They didn’t take the money because they were playing politics, it had nothing to do with concerns about anyone’s health. If you are concerned about their health then you actually would take the money. There is NO WAY to defend this mate.

Okay, so you would throw anyone in with the champ if the money is high, no matter how much of a no hope it is.

At least you're not a hypocrite I guess.

The WBA has a few heavyweight titles Helenius can mandatory fight for.
The Super, Regular & Gold belts.

Now they have a Super Gold Viking Belt. And Helenius owns it.

Take the biggest $ fight you can if you’re Helenius. He will lose his next fight. Try to set your kids up as best you can

Agreed! Helenius is already 36 years old.
