Henderson continues (and completes) his new-found reign of glory, at this point possibly silencing any doubters that remained after walking through Daley and Anderson to get to this point. That's not to say he dominated, he clearly did not, and the finish was less than one would desire. He was moving into a huge lead/dominating place here, but the damage stopped it. Very curious to see what happens with him vs. Wanderlei.

Henderson continues (and completes) his new-found reign of glory, at this point possibly silencing any doubters that remained after walking through Daley and Anderson to get to this point. That's not to say he dominated, he clearly did not, and the finish was less than one would desire. He was moving into a huge lead/dominating place here, but the damage stopped it. Very curious to see what happens with him vs. Wanderlei.
