Being the bigger and taller opponent with a longer reach, Robert Helenius surprised Adam Kownacki in the first fight by turning things around in round 4.
This fight will likely end up being decided by power and chins once again. If Kownacki fails to make necessary adjustments, he would indubitably find himself at the losing end once again.

While a heavyweight clash of this caliber and with so much at stake for both fighters, this fight could come very close. The last fight showed that Kownacki has a weak chin and got stunned multiple times in round 4.
Judging by their last encounter, Robert Helenius could win once again by an early KO/ TKO. However, this fight still could either way if the Polish heavyweight shows more agility in his approach.
