Ive seen Coletti, the guy who beat Walker stand Him on His Head in sparring. Henry was trying all sorts of naughtys, and had the right hump all week. Ive never found Him a pleasant type to be Honest. Its funny what the press create, one guy who never got good press was Brian London. Yet everytime Ive met Him comes over as a real Gentleman.
