Adam Kownacki vs. Robert Helenius - March 7, 2020

[oogiebe]

That KO emptied the room faster than a fart in an elevator.

lmfao!

[SportsRatings]

fat boy got exposed. what a shocker.

[HeavyHitters]

The Nordic nightmare strikes again!

[gilgamesh]

One more fatty bites the dust

The way he fights he's always a KO waiting to happen. He's no walk in the park himself as he's aggressive, and fairly accurate with his shots, but yeah he's always right there to be hit.

I still look forward to seeing more of Kownacki. I never thought of him as a future Champion anyway, just a fun to watch lower tier contender. There's still a lot of guys he'd be fun to watch fight.

As for Helenius. Good for him, and maybe he can get one more payday out of this sport before calling it a career. Definitely a highlight win for him here.

All that time they were holding Kow for a Wilder shot, now they both get beaten up

[oogiebe]

Who's the next "0" to go?

[IKSRTFO]

Does this Helenius have a shot? Thinking of throwing away a yard and taking him...

Did you throw that yard?

Maybe this kinda sh%t will end the freakin' marinating of great fights on the whole. Generally speaking. Kow vs Wilder isn't on anyone's list.

No. He got beat. This is a term that gets way overused, and frankly never really fits. It usually just annoys me. He got "exposed" what does that even mean? Were we supposed to have thought Kownacki was invincible until he lost?

Anybody that knows Boxing could see Kownacki's weaknesses as they were fairly obvious. Him getting caught by a big puncher in a slugfest isn't some revelation of a weakness that we didn't previously know existed. It was just Kownacki being Kownacki, and losing a fight.

I had a few pennies on The Nordic Nightmare by KO early - 50s and 125/1. Only way he can win surely ?
Realistically Kownacki puts it on him early and wins like he did vs Washington, but hopefully he 'gets greedy'

How much did you make?

After Wilder loses again to Fury he'll be needing that confidence boosting get back win, and then Adam will get the call

[IKSRTFO]

Not really. Just got caught. He was winning every second of the fight up til then.

I agree Gil
For me, Kownacki has been a KO waiting to happen. So eazy to hit.
I'm glad he got found out here, otherwise we would be paying to see it in a title fight

Kownatch didn't seem to take this fight seriously.... physically at least

That's PBC for you. They hadn't learned anthing from Top Rank screwing up Gamboa vs Lopez.

Poor Adam.

Hell could turn out good for him. Wilder's confidence may be shot to hell if he gets beat in the 3rd fight with Fury like he got in the 2nd.

I gave Helenius the first round
He landed some nice body shots

He hasn't taken his entire career seriously.

NICE!

Even if he did, not exactly hard to do against Kow. I fail to see how he was exposed.

[Duran1970]

Ref missed a clear knockdown

[Duran1970]

NICE!

After I seen his weight and him eating a plateful of perogies
