REED Likes Chris Henry...He's EXCITING,Aggressive & VERY Accomodating... But there's a Very REAL Chance he could LOSE this Fight...As KARL Accurately Stated,Derrick James is a "Spoiler"...He's SLICK,CRAFTY,Defensively SOUND,has WORLD CLASS Amatuer Experience & he's a SOUTHPAW... It'd B BETTER for Boxing N Texas if Henry Won,but REED wouldn't B Surprised @ All if James Upset him... REED
I have been wanting to see Henry fight. Have heard good things about him and checked him out a bit on Youtube, but I am definitely looking forward to this fight.:cheer:
REED is correct, James is no slouch. He was picked for a purpose, i.e. the upcoming Tarver-Dawson fight. Should be a fun filled action card, and if you are in or near Houston, look forward to seeing you there! Karl
Hard to Say... Henry HASN'T Really Fought Anybody Yet,N a "World Class" Sense... Henry's an Aggressive,BALLSY,PRESSURE Fighter like Margarito,but he's ALOT Quicker...& they're Built Totally Different...Henry's Shorter & Built like a Mack Truck...U Take 1 Look @ Him & U EXPECT that he's Gonna BRING the Fight to U,which he Does... The Derrick James Fight will Tell Us SOMETHING,Cause James is HUNGRY for this 1...& he Hasn't Been N the Kind of Shape he's N for SEVERAL Years... 1 of the Better Guys Henry Fought is the Well WORN Journeyman, Etianne "E.T." Whittaker...Whittaker Got a Flash Knockdown on an Overly Aggressive Henry,but Chris Got Right Up & Resumed Whipping his Ass...& Whittaker Ended up Quitting on his Stool a Couple Rounds Later... The Thing is,Whittaker EXPECTS to Lose Fights...Derrick James is Coming to WIN...He KNOWS this is his LAST Shot @ Fulfilling his Potential...AND he just Bought a New Crib,so he NEEDS some Money Fights:: ... Derrick James is SMARTER than E.T. Whittaker & BETTER N Every Regard...If Chris is OVERLY Aggressive,James WILL Find Ways to Counter him... The Name "Derrick James" WON'T Mean Much to Most of Ya'll,but this IS a Step Up for Chris Henry... REED
