Robert Helenius has bounced back from the low point of his career. Can Deontay Wilder do the same?
Say, Wilder by KO in the fifth round. Here’s more info on the Deontay Wilder vs. Instead, you could take Wilder to win by KO at -450 (although it doesn’t provide much value, it’s probably the safest bet on the fight), or you could take him to win by KO in rounds 1-6 at -138 (I actually like that play the best). It all comes down to how much confidence Wilder has in himself. But Wilder still has two nice KO victories against Luis Ortiz and a first-round destruction of Dominic Breazeale. While Wilder is a healthy betting favorite vs. None of those boxers are bad; but, with the exception of Whyte, they’re not nearly elite-level competitors (and Washington and Duhaupas also suffered knockouts vs. [the -800 favorite](https://www.nj.bet365.com/?_h=4r18ya75g2O4nRgTA2UqVg%3D%3D#/AC/B9/C1/D8/E15040154/F8/G124264321/H4/) (bet $800 to win $100), while Helenius is the +500 underdog (earn $500 on a $100 wager).

“It’s why I take my training and conditioning with Deontay very seriously. At one time, Fort Worth was nicknamed, “Murder Worth,” and was one of the murder capitals of the United States. “When I started out, I wanted to be the best. With Deontay, I have his life in my hands. He’s in tuned to his mind, body and soul.” I have their careers in my hands. When Deontay started out, he wanted to be best. I believe I’m the best strength-and-conditioning coach in basketball, track and boxing. Deontay is a Hall of Famer and he still has more to do.” Scott, from the hardcore Stop Six section of Fort Worth, is the second of four boys.

In watching Fundora vs Ocampo, I felt (my opinion) that there was a bit of the unwritten contract going on that Fundora was willing to go to the distance. So during the fight, his EQ, and especially his fighter’s ego could be difficult to control, he will not only want to win, but he will want to do it in devasting fashion. I write in about what I think could be a factor in the mega fight Crawford vs Spence, it’s the fact that it will be the first fight for Crawford as a free agent. The second point that make me think it can have a negative impact, is that he will be ultra implicated in this fight and he will want to prove all doubters wrong. It could be positive, because Crawford like to have the control and with this he can control what will happen inside the ring but also the modalities of the fight. We all make mistakes but I have to live with that for the rest of my life. Do you agree with the comments from the time that Jofre was the best fighter in the world? I saw the thread about the Fighter of the Decade of the 1980s. I read 2 SI articles where he is mentioned as the best in the world. That is the fight I am excited about and I think if the fight earlier there could be a chance for a trilogy. It’s the fighter who has the combination of the best and biggest wins who’s also the best fighter for the most part. I know who the Fighter of the 1980s was.
