Wow! What a fight! Duhaupas became a favorite of mine after the Wilder fight, I was really curious to see it after reading the result! Thank you ATBF for keeping an eye out for it. It was great to see how boxing sells even in Finland, great crowd!
Helenius looked a bit nonchalent with his early success, but Duhaupas had a punch with his name on it! Both those guy’s futures could mix with some high profile heavyweights, how about a first defense for Joshua against Duhaupas?
Great idea!
Best heavy weight fight so far this year.
Duhaupas learned to move his head and get lower from the Wilder fight.
Been waiting for Helenius to be stopped.
Just stands there.
Two awkward fighters made quite an entertaining fight with lots of action! Duhaupas’ chin is solid rock, he took some very hard clean shots in every round but he always kept moving foward. I agree with Matt: I would love to see him against Joshua. Maybe he has the endurance and experience to give him more rounds.
Both pretty sloppy and slow for professional Heavyweights but entertaining nevertheless. Thanks for posting! Most Heavyweights are so slow these days arent they?!
