Sam Peter vs. Robert Helenius on April 2

[The Hammer]

The news media in Finland is reporting that Robert Helenius and Sam Peter will fight on the Sauerland card on April 2.

Marco Huck will be defending his WBO cruiserweight title against Fragomeni on that date.

This is a MUCH more interesting fight than Peter against Maurice Harris. Helenius definitely has a chance of winning, but I'm not sure he has enough experience to deal with such a dangerous puncher.

The winner will fight Eddie Chambers and become Wladimir Klitschko's IBF mandatory.

Thats way better! thx for the news ! i think helneius can pull out the win after the beating sam peter got against wlad!

[The Hammer]

Quite a contrast between Robert Helenius opposition and that of Deontay Wilder.

Wilder is over protected, and because of that, will have a difficult time with live opponents when he eventually does face them.

If helenius beats peter than helenius vs chambers could be for the ibf title
already cause if haye beats wlad.... we have to wait!

[Hayehammer]

Sauerland is clearly hoping for the upset win for haye!
They have done a great job getting povetkin an easy route to the title possibly fighting shot mormeck!

Added a poll.

This one is difficult to predict.

Sam Peter's experience fighting the Klitschkos may pay off here.

Helenius fights the same style as Wlad, but is nowhere near as athletic. His footwork isn't very good.

Both Helenius and Peter have one-punch KO power, both have good chins but poor defense.

I think it will be a slugfest, and someone will eventually get KOed - but I'm not sure which one.

[Evil Abed]

Peter by KO.

Unless Peter shows up wieghing 300 pounds.

It's a very risky matchup for Helenius, who has just 14 pro fights.

I rewatched some of his fights yesterday and alot of the knocks against him aren't accurate imo. His handspeed especially when throwing power punches is quite good. His footwork while nothing fancy is more than capable and honestly quite nimble at times and his reflexes in particular on D are again quite good.

Helenius stops Peter imo. More likely with some of his insane body punches but he'll be able to hurt him to the head too i think. Peter can't deal with Helenius, Mccline, Klitschko sized guys.
