    I'm taking Tubbs on points in a very close fight. Thoughts?

    You must be a masochist with the dull dreadful matchups you pump out like birdshot out of my doublebarrel.

    a lot of this bout depends on the referee. If he lets Henry throw his 2 punches and hold or tie up Tubbs, then Tony is not landing his counters. If the ref lets the guys fight on the inside and does not separate them, those quick Tubbs counters score the points.

    Lopsided bout for whichever guy gets to fight his fight. I'd lean slightly towards Henry.

    Tubbs at his best gets the decision but could be horrible to watch.

    Tubbs on points his hand speed would be too much for Henry. One for the purists I think !!
