    Another nice little scrap lined up for next week.

    Billed as a title fight, but its the NABF or "Not Applicable to Boxing Fans" LHW title.

    Who wins?

    No responses. Big surprise. Anyway, Henry walks right through Mack IMO. Mack is the smaller guy and Henry just keeps getting better. He looks better with each fight and I just don't see how Mack is able to neutralize Henry's jab. Chris won't respect Mack's so-called power because when Chris fought Diaconu he didn't respect his power and walked right through everything Diaconu threw at him. Chris is the most underrated LHW in the world right now IMO.

    I havent seen Mack but Henry is good, has good handspeed, makes some nice combos and has a strong chin.

    I like this fight a lot for an ESPN show. Henry will probably get the win but Mack is a puncher and fun to watch. I'd like to see the winner of this take on Shaun George or Tavoris Cloud and then put the winner of that in with Dawson. Since there aren't a lot of big challenges at light heavy for someone like Dawson you need to build some of the other fighters into viable opponents. Good fight with Henry winning by ko in an entertaining scrap.

    going to go with henry by mid roundish tko. yusaf mack is a good fighter, but he just doesn't have that killer instinct. i remember him hurting daniel judah early in their fight and he let him off the hook. he also has some fundamental flaws that someone like chris henry can exploit.

    I've got an eye on him too. He looks very good at an early stage in his career. Plus his ability to draw good crowds at home at his young age is very impressive.

    This fight is overlooked by all except Diaconu fans, it seems. Mack says he's in better shape than ever and wanting to make a statement. Big fight for both men. The loser is out of the picture at high table. The winner is back in the mix for an immediate title shot or at least an eliminator. Should be a cracking fight - both have power and like to make a fight of it, and they're both tough. :good

    This is gonna be a good scrap as both come to fight.Henry might try to box early on but he could forget it as fast.

    I think this fight can go either way. Both fighters will be motivated like hell. Both can box if they want to and both can bang too. Fireworks guarnateed. If Henry knocks him out, it will be a testament to his power. If Mack wins, it will prove he is an underrated boxer with a good chin and stamina. Should be good. Both are very well matched in this one.
