Heavyweight Robert Helenius is coming into the backyard of Adam Kownacki when they fight in a WBA Heavyweight title eliminator on Saturday from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Kownacki has fought ten of his last twelve fights in the building.
“I’m not worried at all about where the fight is taking place,” said Helenius. “I just have to stay true to my style and the rest will take care of itself. I can’t let the crowd force me to fight a style that is not mine. I’m going to use my skills to get this win.
“Adam is a heavy brawler and a good fighter, but his boxing skills aren’t that strong. That’s where I believe I have the advantage. I know that I can outbox him if that is the best strategy on fight night. The fans are going to see two different styles collide.”
This is a mini-David & Goliath match brewing up. Knowacki will keep consistent pressure on Helenius. Helenius needs to get his roller skates on because he will need them fighting in this case.
Helenius was a really good prospect earlier his career. Then everything just seemed to go backwards. 36 now, wonder how much he has left.
He should not worry were the fight is held. Because where ever it is, he will probably lose any way.
