That angle doesn't really do that punch justice and a lot of people (i.e. idiots) are accusing Helenius of diving. But listen to the pop of that contact. Better, look at it from this angle:
Pretty much no wind-up. That's nowhere near a max power Wilder punch, but he hits so hard it doesn't have to be.
And really it's one of those situations where Deontay shows his skill. He baited Helenius in, gave himself a little bounce off the ropes for momentum and laid the wood. Again, not the best technical boxer, but his shot selection and timing are world class.
