Round 1: And we’re off! Helenius taking the center to start, with Wilder moving around, cutting angle, and biding his time. That right hand is a missile, and he’s going to set it up. Helenius cutting the ring, showing patience. Wilder gets wild with a right hand behind a jab that comes up with air. Helenius cutting the ring very well, boxing Wilder in, but hasn’t fired anything major yet. Pawing a jab occasionally. An exchange where Helenius hits the body and Wilder gets nothing.

OH MY GOD.

Helenius stepped in with Wilder in the corner and a right hand from Wilder puts Helenius to sleep. He is out cold and the doctors are immediately seeing to him. Super, super scary KO.

Official Decision: Deontay Wilder def. Robert Helenius by KO at 2:57 of Round 1.
