That looked familiar. 🥊
Deontay Wilder needed less than a round to win his first fight since 2019, obliterating Robert Helenius with a single right hand in the finals second of the opening round Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Now, in the wake of just one more spectacular knockout in a career filled with them, he could fight for another world championship in his next fight or two.The opening round had been uneventful, as a trimmed down, quick Wilder moved deftly around the ring to size up the big Finn. The “Bronze Bomber” through a few power shots in the first two-plus minutes but none landed, the same of which can be said of Helenius.
There was no reason to count. Helenius lay on his back staring blankly into the rafters before finally regaining his senses several minutes later, when he stepped dejectedly through the ropes and toward his dressing room.The victory obviously meant a great deal to Wilder, who hadn’t had his hand raised since he stopped Luis Ortiz in seven rounds in November 2019. He became emotional during his post-fight interview before settling into an analytical mode.
