Put me in that same boat - When I heard the uproar about the result, I fully expected to see Chisora annihilate Helenius when I caught the replay. I didn't see that to be honest. Helenius was certainly in there.
I don't see why he couldn't do good after a comeback - he has a chance against anybody below the Klit brothers if he can recover from his injuries.
Fighting with injury is a bitch. Just look at the difference in Floyd vs Castillo 1 vs Castillo 2 - Fight 1 with a torn rotator cuff, fight 2 completely healthy, different fight.
I know people use injury as an excuse for bad performances but fact is injuries do occur before or within fights. It's unlucky but should be taken into consideration when assessing a performance. I think he does better against Chisora in a rematch.
Helenius was expected to KO Chisora and the man was lucky if he won 2 rounds against him.
I'd say that is pretty bad.
Chisora absolutely dominated the action.
But, he did not hurt the giant viking. That lop dick has a good chin I'll give him that.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
