Mark Henry var väldigt kritisk inför Eddie Alvarez fight mot Conor McGregor. Han gick så långt som att säga att irländaren inte hade några vidare förmågor i buren utan bara hade talat sig till titelfighten.
Efter matchen mellan Eddie Alvarez (28–5) och Conor McGregor (21–3) sade Alvarez coach Mark Henry att han var mycket imponerad av irländarens prestation.
Han passade även på att lufta sina tankar om ett potentiellt möte mellan McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. som har blivit en av de mest omtalade matcherna under den senaste tiden:
”All credit to Conor that he hit him from the beginning early and rocked him,” sade Henry om McGregor till Chisanga Malata of the Daily Star. “It’s like I said, the swing that he has is unbelievable.”
”I think he would have the possibility of knocking out Mayweather. He’s way bigger than Mayweather too. Boxers only cut about ten pounds, whereas Conor probably walks around at 173 lbs. So he’s also a lot bigger than Mayweather too. I even think he has a chance of knocking out Mayweather if it was in the first three to four rounds. After that, I’d definitely give the edge to Mayweather.”
Henry fortsatte sedan med att säga vad han tror att skillnaden mellan McGregor och Mayweather skulle vara om de två slagskämparna skulle mötas:
“You know Conor, his defence isn’t as good as Mayweather. But Conor’s speed, power, and precision is unbelievable,” fortsatte han. ”After watching that fight, I’d even give a possible chance of knocking out Mayweather early. I don’t think it’d go his way, but I definitely give him the chance of a KO because his power isn’t something I’ve seen (before).”
