Chris "Hard Hittin'" Henry: Next Light Heavyweight King

Good call by the ref. Henry missed two punches, and Diaconu slipped. Then Henry missed another when he was on the rope.

 

Ok, then it changes everything. Chris KO2 Dawson, Tarver and Calzaghe :clap:

 

Chris Henry won that damned fight yesterday, I don't care what anyone here says, and I don't care what those judges said.
That was a bad call in the other guys' hometown and home country.
To have Diaconu up by three points is insane, as that should have been Chris' fight or at worst, a draw.

 

:: Unbelievable.

 

:dunno:

 

I have seen the complete fight, Andrew.
Twice.
That post was from yesterday, ok?
I am going to get Chris on the radio show and we are going to hear his side of it.

 

I dont think that was a KD and youre clearly extremely bias on this matter Karl so your opinion doesnt really count for much.

 

No way, right hand send him through the ropes.
Diaconu was allowed to excessively hold throughout as well and was not warned for it.
Points would have been deducted from adrian had that fight taken place here.
That was very poor and biased officiating by the referee.

 

That's how we get an unbiased take:clap:

 

Chris also dropped him in the 11th with a balance shot jab, which also was not called, and was another legit knockdown.
Diaonu held onto him like an octopus, that was a bullshit decision, and should be protested with the WBC for an immediate rematch!

 

No punches landed by Henry. Diaconu just went through the ropes.

 

It's very clear.

 

looked like a body shot sent him down. Plus he was so tired

A jab in the 11th drops Adrian, legit knockdown #2 which the biased ref did not call

 

In the 12th? There was a body shot. I'm not sure about the other rounds because I haven't seen it

 

:: That was a push.

I'm finished with this... it doesn't matter enough and it's only going to give me a headache.

 

We are not taking this lying down..this injustice isn't going away if I have anything to say about it, and you better know I will.

 

Yeah, no, there wasn't. That's cool though.

 

Wait... you guys are just playing a trick on me, right?

 

Ronnie Shields was interviewed on another website, but I didn't want to copy and past what he said or reveal the site as I know Carlos dosen't like that, but Ronnie said it best.

 

In round 11 was a case of tripped feet. Just look at their feet when the knockdown comes.

 

Not to mention the punch was more of an awkward shove to the side of the head.

 

There wasn't what? There was a perfectly place body shot and 1 second later the dude went down. I don't think it was solely the body shot, but the punch plus, Diaconu was trying to sit on the ropes and fell in.

Cupey

 

The man was hit and went down, Carlos.
I don't know how much clearer that can be.

 

In the 12th, YES. In the 11th, NO. Still I've seen worse knockdown calls

 

Chris did everything he had to do to win, regardless of how those judges scored it, and I am really fucking upset right now.

 

I just spoke with Chris and he thinks he won the fight, and he acknowledged that Diaconu stunned him in the 8th, but he wasn't seriously hurt to the point of being knocked out.
Chris gave credit to Adrian for being a good fighter, and refused to say anything bad about him as Chris is a true sportsman and gentleman.
We also spoke of the actions (or non-actions) of the referee, and I am going to get into that later on in the broadcast as he is going to get a piece of my mind, and all I am going to do is to tell the truth about the Canadian referee.
Being the good and doting, and attentive family man that he is; Chris is spending quality time with his lovely lady and children right now, and he agreed to be on the fightbeat radio show in the near future.
He also thanked everyone here for their support, and he also wants to defend his NABF Championship perhaps later this upcoming Summer.
But for now, it is rest and recovery time for this brave warrior after such a Heroic effort against a number one contender not only in his home town, but home country as well.
Congrats, Chris!
Your country is proud of you!:bears:

 

In the 11th round that was not a knockdown but in the 12th that shit was a legit. He got hit with a body shot and went down. I mean how else did he fall. People claim that he slipped but how could that be when he was stationary. Also I did see hella holding in the 11th and 12th without a warning as well. Just my thoughts. I'll Holla 5000

 

Great observation, bigdawg!:bears:
That was indeed a knockdown in the 12th round.
The referee (from Canada) let Adrian hold like an octopus the entire fight as well.

 

I had it:

Rounds: 2, 3, 4, 6. 8, 10 for Diaconu

Rounds: 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 for Henry

6 rounds a piece.

I never saw replays of either disputed "knockdown" so i can't say for sure. They didn't appear to be legit knockdowns.

Close fight.
