Re: Robert Helenius got the TKO upset vs Kownacki Saturday
I'd definitely be patient if I was him. He's only got 1 more big fight left in him in all likelihood. If you've made yourself mandatory for a big money fight. As Janis Joplin once sang "Get it While You Can"
Ajagba is knocking on the door of the Top 20 now with his win, but still ain't quite there. I think he'd be well served to be matched against a Chris Arreola or Carlos Takam. Someone that has some pop, and will bring some offense against him, but isn't a crushing puncher.
He seems too open to me, and his defense is probably the part of his game that needs the most immediate correcting so I think that's the kinda guys he needs to be matched with for a few fights to work on that.
As for Kownacki. This knocks him on down to #14 on my rankings, and I reckon it's back to the drawing board for him for a little while. He's a fun guy to watch though so I look forward to seeing more of him. Plenty of guys he could fight, and entertain against. Win or lose.

Helenius is very inconsistent as a puncher, sometimes he looks featherfisted vs nobodies, other times he does that. I think he may be a WBA mandatory now, though I doubt he's fighting AJ any time soon.

Helenius is a first defense gimmie type of fight. Good win for him
Rematch will happen id guess. Pbc will pay him some $$ to get kownacki back in contention

I think Kownacki vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. would feature two fat kids in a slugfest... Who wouldn't want to see that?

Sign me up, Big Chef. I think I like Ruiz in that. Better chin, bigger gut. Winner gets 4 whole fried chickens and a coke.

Re: Robert Helenius got the TKO upset vs Kownacki Saturday
Who would you pick for that fight? Ajagba is very rough around the edges. Helenius just proved he still has something in the tank. Ajagba doesn't walk into or through punches like Kowknacki did, but he also doesn't seem to move his head much. Ajagba might have a slight edge in power and Helenius in skill. So it's almost like a less talented version of Wilder vs Fury.marciano1952 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 07, 2020 10:59 pm Helenius vs Ajagba....Make it happen next if Helenius isnt given a title Shot...
If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
