Henry won the first round then things took a bad turn for him. Samson-K won the second, swelled up Henry's eye with a big 3rd round, won the 4th and then dropped Henry twice in the 5th scoring 44 points but the ref didn't stop it.
Samson-K was out of endurance after the 5th and Henry dropped him in the 6th then KO'd him in the 7th. I had it 57-54 Samson-K at the stoppage.
Next year I will probably keep track of great fights for a fight of the year award.

Sounded like a great fight to see happen. Props to Henry the man earned that IBO title the hard way.
