– Below are two brutal defeats For Tyson Fury. We thought about whether Deontay Wilder already seen and will come back. Just like that, he has gathered a new rise with the new coach. This is considered a return match.
This is how IL’s martial arts expert explains Jaakko Dahlbacka before of Robert Helenius and Wilder’s encounter.
American Wilder, 36, held the WBC heavyweight world title for five straight years. Aja had 10 successful title defenses before facing British powerhouse Fury.
Dark clouds hung over Wilder after he lost the final fight of the Fury trilogy a year ago. Wilder already used Fury on the floor, but before full time the Yankee striker was the one who was counted to ten.
It was believed that Wilder had hit such a deep bottom that he would never rise again.
– Of course they are only thinking about winning against Helenius and whether or not Oleksandr Usyk then the next opponent. This is an intermediate match for them, and it is of course a dangerous mind game, Dahlbacka reflects.
The prestigious The Ring magazine still listed Wilder as the third best boxer in the world at the end of 2021. In his career balance (42 wins, 41 by knockout and 2 losses), the only L marks have come against Fury.
Compared to that, the speculations about the giant collapse of the knockout machine seem wild.
– The saying “you are only as good as your last match” applies perfectly in the sport. Helenius’ previous match was great, so he is considered the top of the world. Wilder took a bad back, so we think he’s miserable. It’s just about the previous match.
– There is a point in that, because professional boxing is a tough sport. A win gives an awful boost to self-confidence, and a loss shatters it. It justifies the claim. But we can’t say that Wilder is the snow of last winter.
Wilder’s worst opponent is in the mirror
The betting market places Helenius as a clear underdog.
When you browse boxing media on the internet, you will find people who think the odds are even too low, while some think Helenius has much better chances than the odds say.
– If both fight at their own level, Wilder will win. The biggest question mark, however, is what is happening between Wilder’s ears.
Is Wilder really back on top? We’ll find out over the weekend.
Above, Dahlbacka tells you where Helenius’s realistic winning chances really are.
