The long-tenured UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently took to his Instagram account and posted a video clip of the moment Deontay Wilder knocked of Robert Helenius.
His caption read:
“It’s absolutely f**king amazing the power that @bronzebomber can generate. He’s truly unlike anyone I’ve ever seen in the history of the heavyweight division. You can make no mistakes with this man. There have been many incredible KO artists in the history of boxing, but for my money he’s the most impressive. If you look at this punch it wasn’t even with full leverage and his opponent instantly shuts off. It’s what the great @firas_zahabi calls “the touch of death.”
