Diaconu Injured- Diaconu -Dawson is Off!

Exactly...

If he's looking for " a couple hundred thousand dollar paydays" prior to a title shot...they might not be there without taking a significant step up in competition.

 

Marcus's brother is James Johnson aka Leon Johnson. Yep, we all scolded them for taking that Boone fight. They didnt even know the opponent until 2 days before the bout. James fights lazy sometimes and head hunts and it cost him his O.
James and Marcus were both TX GG champs. James is also with DK. He's not in Houston right now, not sure when he'll be back training.
Also, Orlando Hollis has joined the team and helps train Marcus now.

Yes, Henry's people are ready to step up, just not to a Dawson level yet.
He's ranked now by the WBA, I wouldnt be surprised if he matches up with one of the Euros.

 

:shit:

 

He got a devastating 1st round KO?

 

Chris Henry & Marcus Johnson NEED to Face EACH OTHER...

They've Fought Some of the Same Opponents, yet NEVER Seem to Want EACH OTHER...Well, the Fighters WANT the Fight, but their Handlers DON'T ...

Let's Figure Out just WHO the BEST Lightheavy in Texas REALLY Is??:dunno: ...

Marcus is ALOT more Seasoned/Experienced but Henry's Raw STRENGTH & AGGRESSION Meshes well w/Marcus' Boxer-Puncher Style...

REED would Lean Towards Marcus @ this Point, but it'd B an Interesting Scrap...

If they Had this Bout on the Undercard of a Juan Diaz Title Defense in Houston, it'd B HUGE for the City...

REED

 

??? what is this for? That statement you bolded made nothing but sense.

 

agREED... Henry just needs to be moved TOWARD that direction, not rushed straight to the top.

 

You guys can say what you want, but this is fact:
Thousands and thousands of more people know who Chris Henry is now than before I came aboard his "bandwagon", ok?
It's called promoting, fairly easy to do when you know what you are talking about.

 

Millions will know who he is once he fights a live body on TV vs club shows in Houston....which is why I compared him to Allan Green. At least with Green, we'd seen several of his fights on ESPN starting when he had less than 10 pro fights.

I understand what Ringside is saying "however" the dubious high rating he has should put his feet to the fire and force him to take a step up fight prior to when he's ready. It's either shit or get off the pot.

At this point, he's not ready to shit and avoiding the pot.

 

Whoa. Did you just admit that you are promoting Chris because you are his fan? Does being paid to give favorable coverage to a boxer compromise your integrity as a "boxing writer"?

I'm not so sure you can substantiate your claim to thousands and thousands more people know him now that Stinger did some hooting and holloring on a fightbeat.com video.

 

REED speaks like a promoter...

Stinger speaks like a politician...

 

I'm a former fighter who does some boxing coverage in my spare time, Mike, I'm not a boxing fan.
It can be substantiated yes, ask Carlos about the number of downloads that interview got, and all the hits on my stories about him, several thousand or more total.

 

I know Johnson-Henry has been proposed to either side a few times but the money was nothing, like $5K, and I dont think anyone wants to lose their 0 for that.. Would be a nice matchup cuz Chris can take some heat and Marcus certainly packs it. A healthy Johnson beats Henry though.

Don King could pull that show off.. Put Diaz-Pacq or Diaz-Morales even Diaz-JesusChavez in Reliant Stadium, and Johnson-Henry would make a good co-feature.

 

Interesting take. What capacity were you at the Top Rank fights on 8/30?

I dont get into that Alexa BS.

 

Mike.............shut up.::
