Joshua vs Helenius

Derek Chisora got a shocking gift decision against Gerald Washington.

1-0 Helenius.

For whatever reason Joshua looks tiny compared to Helenius

2-0 Helenius.

Joshua landed a decent right hand. But seems unwilling to throw combinations.

Joshua takes the third, seemed to hurt Helenius in the final minute of your round

2-1 Helenius

Crowd booing…

2-2 again Joshua lands a good right hand. But again doesn’t follow up.

Pretty lacklustre so far

3-2 Joshua. Decent round by the standard of this fight. Helenius has some success as well.

4-2 Joshua

Joshua gets a one punch KO in the 7th. One huge right hand

Some are saying they can now see AJ's improvement under Derrick James as he remodels himself into a more defensively minded, skilled and thoughtful boxer compared to his younger days. After the fight AJ said he wanted to be fighting more regularly (to develop his experience and skills) saying he wanted two more fights by the end of the year. AJ no longer holds any belts, so as long as he is prepared to stay several years more in boxing, it is looking like he wants to hone his skills and ring IQ before going back to the very top table of boxers. However it seems that Eddie Hearn wants him to go for the big money fights only.

AJ seems to be living on planet AJ where he's pretty much Ali.....

The gesture after the knockout and the "my back is hurting from carrying the heavyweight division".......what a chopper. I find him one of the least likable British fighters for a long long time.

Any serious Heavy beats Helenius early.....Talking about a stiff that lasted a couple of minutes against Wilder and lost to Chisora...(Yes he got the decision)

It was a stinker before the right and the fact AJ is a big fish shows you just how tragic the division has become...

That was shocking. British judging has become worse than the rest of the world we used to criticise

Joshua's performance was about as interesting as Eddie Hearn's spin....People were booing for a reason and that was this guy's reluctance to engage until the one dimensional...useless European slob got knackered...

More chance of seeing a Martian in midfield for Utd than poor Man's Bruno beating Fury.

Can’t believe Helenius is still going.  I didn’t gave a grey hair when he started out and now I’m a silver fox.  AJ really is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
