    Henry looked great tonight

    He came out with good side to side movement, was pumping his jab, he mixed in a good left hookercut from time to time which is a punch I haven't really seen from him in the short time I've been a fan. He's obviously been working hard in the gym to make these improvements.

    He was measuring his punches better tonight than when he fought Diaconu, was being more patient and looking for the right combos to throw. I was really impressed, actually. He made dramatic improvements from his last showing.

    Hopefully he'll continue to work hard and get another shot a big fight. I can't imagine too many guys @ light heavy are looking forward to fighting him.

    Time for him to get another big fight. A fight with Glencoffe would be fun to watch.

        Damn, I hate the 21-year-olds who don't know how to evaluate talent. If you watched his fight with Diaconu, you'd know he made marked improvements in this fight, regardless of who he was fighting. He's making improvements, and that's the point.

          He had nothing in front of him, but after seeing this fight and the Diaconu match I'm convinced that Henry is a legitimate top 10 contender.

            English, mother****er, do you speak it?? I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering what board I'm on. It has the most obnoxious, unintelligent boxing fans on the net.

              Oh snap! You just said that Ruben Williams had nothing? You don't know how to evaluate talent.

                He'd have gotten the same workout on the heavybag because thats all he had in front of him.

                Improvement is all relative, really. I feel Tye Fields improved under Jesse Reid, doesn't mean he'll be heavyweight champion anytime soon.

                  Did you see his fight against Diaconu? Answer me that. If you did, how did the fight play out?

                    I haven't seen him since the Saunders fight. I wasn't much impressed then and I'm not much impressed now.
