The viewership for FOX’s broadcast of Adam Kownacki’s first defeat was almost as high as the network’s audience for Kownacki’s fan-friendly slugfest with Chris Arreola.
Figures released Wednesday by Nielsen Media Research showed viewership for Kownacki’s fourth-round, technical-knockout defeat to Robert Helenius on Saturday night peaked at 1,681,000. The average audience for their short heavyweight bout, the main event of a tripleheader, was 1,675,000.
Helenius knocked down the heavily favored Kownacki with a right-left combination 30 seconds into the fourth round at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Polish-born Kownacki’s home borough. Kownacki got back to his feet by the time referee David Fields’ count reached four, but Helenius unloaded more than 30 punches on a mostly defenseless Kownacki, who was stopped while still standing at 1:08 of the fourth round.
