BoxRec

I believe that the fight started 45 minutes ago - 7AM ET - but the link that H. provides on his Facebook page doesn't seem to work here in the US.

I see Frankie Rill, the lad from Oshawa, Ontario Canada is fighting for the European title. Good luck to him.

Robert Helenius Loses Against the French Boxer Duhaupas But Promises to Come Back Stronger

http://finlandtoday.fi/robert-helenius- ... -stronger/

Last night's fight is on youtube. Basile came all the way from Argentina to Finland for that? A punching bag could have put up a better fight than the tattooed freak. BoxRec has Helenius listed as only 1/2 inch taller than the supposedly 6'6" Argentine. Why is it then that Helenius looks a head taller? Basile is the number one heavyweight in Argentina. Not good.

He's a terrible fighter... His defense is the pits, his jab is readable, and you can time his swings because he has very little guile or deception... Getting beaten by the Reptile has to be the pits.. Look what Povetkin just did to Duhaupas... Completely flummoxed him, broke him down and flattened him.

He is not a terrible fighter, not even close to terrible. He's had many injuries and Sauerland put his career on the shelf costing him valuable time. The loss to Duhaupas was an upset but that's part of the game. Helenius can still get a piece of the fractured title. He also has power; REAL power.

I agree and I still have hopes for him becoming the surprise champ.

A terrible fighter is someone who loses all the time, or someone who never stepped in a boxing ring in their life, like your man crush, Wilt.

I would favor him against Parker all day. But now I have big questions about his chin; him vs either Wilder or AJ would be very exciting with guaranteed fire works. I hope he can position himself for a proper run at it.

You only used to see people like that in the circus side show.
