    From the site with news on fights,Yusaf Mack will be facing Chris Henry instead of Alejandro Berrio on feb 6th on ESPN for the NABA LHW title in Maryland it seems.Altough the original match-up was a nice one this is a mouth watering one aswell,guaranteed action.

    I think Chris Henry will physically be really bigger than him,Mack is coming up from SMW and Henry is a big LHW who fought in the HWs on some occasions.Nevertheless a good fight:good

    I am not sure. Mack is pretty tough. If he goes to war with Henry, though, I think he gets taken out. He might get taken out even if he boxes...

    ...it depends how motivated Henry will be for this fight. He might not go full out if he can win a clear decision. On the other hand, he might try to impress to get a title shot/eliminator on the back of that...I think he will if he wins; he's ranked highly with 3 sanctioning bodies already. By autumn, I expect him to fight for a title again.

    This is a better fight than before. Berrio already gave Mack the kiss of death once. This should be a good test to see how legit Chris Henry is, and by extension, how legit Diaconu is. I expect Henry will win by KO at some point, since Mack gasses easily and has shaky whiskers, but I want to know whether Mack can outbox Henry in the early rounds, like he did against Andrade.

    Smart money is on the KO. Mack almost always fades after about 5 rounds, and he doesn't have a great chin. If Henry is as strong and good as you Diaconu fans represent, then he should be able to KO Mack within 8.

    I don't think Henry might go for the KO that easy,expect him to box,at least early on.If they slug it out size might be an important factor.This is definetely a harder fight for Mack than a Berrio rematch.

    Was Henry the agressive type against Diaconu? And what happened with Berrio?:huh

    Altough he tried tobox early on,he gave that up and ended slugging it up with Diaconu,took just a little more than he gave.Really don't know what happened with Berrio,but the fight at 175 wouldn't have suited him anyway
