The former world champion changed his tactics, surprising the Finnish boxer.
Deontay Wilder changed his fighting style and surprised Robert Helenius. The Finnish boxer himself spoke about it, commenting on the reasons for his quick knockout.
According to the Finnish boxer, the former world champion was able to change his tactics and it came as a complete surprise to him.
“I think he’s got a new tactic. I’ve never seen Wilder fight on the back foot in any of his fights. My tactic is that he always backs away. But his tactic was good, so he didn’t expect to catch him. I.
Wilder is a good boxer so he can adapt. I didn’t think he would develop that fast after his last few fights. But Wilder did it. I respect him.
Fighting is always different from sparring. A fight is always a fight. In sparring, I felt his right hand, but then I retreated, and now I continue. I felt it and was knocked out,” Helenius told Blue Blood Sports TV.
Remember that Deontay Wilder defeated Robert Helenius by knockout at the very end of the first round.
