    No I didnt, I picked that Frietas would give him hell though.
    BTW, Frietas was never dumped on his ass by E.T. Whitaker :lol:

    j/k Anyway, I just think that Chris fights the wrong fight and gets KOed, if he boxed he may win but he will let his heart get in the way and brawl, I just think Adrian is better at that game.

    The Light Heavyweight division has sucked for years. Even at that,....Chris Henry ain't going nowhere in this division. If he does or if he doesn't...it don't matter.

    The division sucks.

    This is also how I see it. Chris is a banger. You can't beat Diaconu at that game; he's buit for it. Short 5'10 block w/ huge legs and big head, short arms. Also the agression of an gator. Shark TKO7.

    Fucking hell Diaconu really doesn't look like a lightheavyweight.

    He looks the same height and build as me, and I am 5'9, 150 pounds.

    Not really. 6 foot and 150 is skinny, I'd say my build is athletic. Big shoulders, slim, solid muscle base, not much fat.

    :lol:

    Yeah I guess he sort of does look like a darker, Romanian version of Rees.

    To be perfectly honest I haven't seen either fighter fight, so I can't say. Have you?

    You wouldn't stand a chance. If I recall correctly, you're a martial arts boy, with no boxing training.

    I'd knock your dorky finnish arse out cold with 1 shot.

    I'd grab it, throw him to the ground, and stomp that finnish muthafucka until his eyes sockets were broken, his eyeballs were falling out of his head, and blood was pouring out of the sockets.

    I don't throw kicks but I have great grappling skills and I outweight MWS by 30 lbs of muscle. I have done plenty of weight lifting and boxing training lately too. My downgoing here might be that I have trained with a heavybag...

    So that makes you 180lbs with 30lbs of that being muscle? So the other 150lbs is all fat? :tease:

    Ugo - in all seriousness, you wouldn't be able to beat me. You look like a fucking finnish beanpoll, plus you have no boxing experience. I've sparred with people who are better than any finnish boxer that's ever lived.

    Plus you're a schoolteacher.

    But if you want to, you're welcome to try. I live in Brighton, south coast of England. If you fancy a visit, I'll spar you no problem, boxing rules.

    Chris is 6'
    Shark is 5'9"

    Henry will have a significant reach advantage, plus Diaconu throws wide hooks, so Henry should land straight punches up the middle and use his very good hard jab to outbox Diaconu. But will he? He wants to KO the Romanian.

    Aren't we lucky, the return of Amy Hayes.
    Those airport pictures never do anyone justice. Who looks good after a 12 hour flight.

    :clap: The ball's in your court now Ugo. I'll chip in $20 to help make the fight happen. I'll even design the fight posters.

    Sulaiman claims the winner of this bout must fight Chad Dawson for the WBC title. Since it's unlikely that Dawson fights either of these guys, that makes this pretty much a fight for the real WBC title.

    Also, Silvio Branco is rated ahead of Chris Henry by the WBC, and was the first choice to face Diaconu in this bout. But he declined for whatever reason. So then he ends up fighting a stay busy bout on the undercard? Maybe he's trying to set up a fight with Diaconu if he wins in Italy or Romania..
