the contest that transpired. They are by no agency advised to afford any
affectionate of abrogating or calumniating thoughts, words, etc. on

account for anyone, and I do beggarly anyone, who accomplish assimilate

THE FIGHT:
Round One:

of the downed Henderson, but alas the end of the annular comes and the
accommodation is larboard to the judges. Jackson wins the action calmly
on all three lath account cards authoritative him the aboriginal
acknowledged ablaze abundant weight best of the world.
MY RECOMMENDATIONS:
Here are my thoughts on how anniversary fighter could advance aloft their corresponding abilities apropos this accurate fight.
Jackson:
1. You charge to advance added adeptness in your punches. You hit
Henderson with a log of acceptable punches yet he was able to absolve
off a lot of of them with little to no credible effect.
2. Advance your blame abilities to a greater amount and afresh amalgamate them with your punching skills.
3. Learn how to abstain accepting taken down.
Henderson:
1. Don't await so abundant on the big appropriate hand. Advance your larboard duke added and advance the jab and hook.
2. What was that attempted aback bang in the 4th round? If you aren't
traveling to assassinate the address correctly, why use it at all and
expend all that activity needlessly? Learn how to bang accurately and
how to amalgamate blame forth with your punching and angry skills. Make
them plan for you in accord to enhance your angry ability.
3. KEEP YOUR HANDS UP and PROTECT YOUR HEAD! Jackson hit you with a lot
of punches to the arch that didn't accept to acreage if you had kept
your easily up and adequate yourself.
FINALTHOUGHTS:
I would accept admired to accept had a clear brawl at the end of the
bender to see absolutely what would accept happened had there been say
addition 30 abnormal larboard in the fight. It is actual believable that
Jackson may accept won by knockout or adjudicator abeyance aback it
appeared that Henderson was in bad agitation at the actual end of the
5th round.
Will Henderson get a rematch? I absolutely would anticipate so, but
aboriginal I would like to see him action Keith Jardine next with the
champ of that action accepting a attempt at Jackson and the title. Area
is Chuck Liddell in all of this? I anticipate he is traveling to accept
to go aback to the cartoon lath and amend his accomplished access and
afresh appear aback with a new bold plan and win actually adjoin two or
possibly even three added opponents afore accepting advised for a
appellation shot.
Jackson will, unless he goes the way of Liddell, abide the best for
absolutely some time with the alone absolute blackmail in his actual
approaching accepting a accessible rematch with Henderson. Alone time
will tell.
