Comments Thread For: Kownacki: A Lot Of Great Fighters Lost, Came Back; I'm About To Do The Same

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK The underdog who stopped Adam Kownacki on Saturday night was knocked out seven months before their bout by an opponent Kownacki obliterated earlier in 2019. Robert Helenius' comeback from his eighth-round knockout defeat to Gerald Washington is among the things that make Kownacki confident he'll be able to respond positively to his first defeat. He hopes Helenius gives him an immediate rematch, but because Kownacki isn't contractually owed a rematch, he might have to oppose someone else whenever he's ready to fight following his fourth-round, technical-knockout loss at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Kownacki's home borough.

As he said, got to be careful at all times. Well, ok, given his style he's not careful at any time, but he's not wrong.

Man, you were destroyed by a journeyman. Top guys knock out your skull to the moon.

It's good to maintain belief and confidence after a big loss like that but Kowacki has to be realistic as well. It seems like he's believing a lot of his hype which made him out to be better than he actually is. I was DEAD WRONG about the Quigg/Carroll fight since I didn't know Quigg was as shot as he is but I've always maintained that Kownacki is a fringe contender at best. I wish him all the best coming back but he has to be realize he's not Lenox Lewis and never will be. He just doesn't have the skill set to make the necessary adjustments after a KO loss like Lewis did.

It bothers me that he didn’t even know enough to hold. He only knows to move forward and throw. No head movement, doesn’t set up his punches, and in this last fight slower than usual. He looked worse than he usually does so I cannot tell if it was the Helenius body shots, lack of training because he obviously fell in love with his own hype, or that all the punches he has taken have already taken their toll. His career could very well be over. I hope he changes his team, comes in lighter and faster, or at least learns how to move his head.

This is it he blocks punches with his face. He may be a big draw for a while longer due to the fan friendly style but I'm thinking his career is pretty much over from here.
