    I'd like to know what to expect on FNF. Outside of his fight with Adrian Diaconu, how good is he? Will his fight with Mack be any good?

    Mack is undersized and Henry has fought as heavy as 198lbs. He's also fought guys who weighed more than 250+ lbs. I see no way for Mack to deal with Henry's crisp jab and Henry's come-forward style.

    Henry, IMO, is the most unheralded LHW in the world right now. He would give any LHW fits as was witnessed when he fought Diaconu.

    I don't think Mack can hurt Henry at all and that's the only chance he has to win this fight. Hopefully a win for Henry leads to a fight with someone of more substance within the division.

    I predict a mid-rounds KO for Chris.

    Henry is good, has good handspeed, makes some nice combos and has a strong chin.

    Hes like a lesser version of Chad Dawson imo, sides the chin part. Hell, he could probably even one day even be better than Chad Dawson. Still young and can make a huge impact. Losing to Diaconu isn't bad.

    He ate Diaconu's shots pretty well. Has a great beard. Also good stamina. Pretty nice power too. Mack is gonna be in for a loong night :yep

    Expect a Henry mid round TKO.

    Henry is a good guy with a good chin and decent skills. He fought the Shark and arguably won. He should TKO Mack within 7 rounds.

    Not really. Just looking forward to seeing him back in action against mack. I hope he puts on a good show so maybe he can get another big fight.

    Well this one is arguably a pretty big fight too.Let's see how he does in Maryland.He is well ranked amongst all sanctioning bodies so he will probably become a mado soon.
    I think he is gonns stop Mack.Very powerful LHW he is,Mack is undersized here.I wonder is Bobby Benton training him?

    Are you serious? I could see a Glen Johnson comp maybe (stronger, but not as persistent or accurate), but Chad Dawson? He's literally nothing like Chad Dawson. Dawson is southpaw, Henry is orthodox. Dawson is super quick, Henry has pretty average speed. Dawson tries to defend by being slick, Henry picks off shots with his gloves. Dawson is best on the outside, Henry is a stalker. Dawson has a questionable chin, Henry got nailed by some serious shots from Diaconu and didn't seem to be phased.

    To the original qusetion, Yusef Mack is a decent boxer, but has some stamina issues and some chin issues. He was outboxing Alejandrio Berrio before he got the kiss of death (literally, Berrio kissed him, then knocked him out), and was outboxing Andrade for a few rounds before he gassed out and got KOed, even flash KDing Andrade in the first with what Andrade said was the hardest punch he'd ever felt. Still, someone who wears down like that should be tailor made for Henry. He'll be able to get in some rounds against a decent boxer for a few rounds, and then he should be able to KO Mack after he wears down.

    Mack is ass, this fight wont say much about Henry....I saw henry in person a few year back and wasnt impressed...He has gotten better since then, but not much...I think that people are putting too much on the fight with Diaconu who himself is pretty much unproven..Henry should win the fight, if not:hey
