Video: Marshall Henderson's Punch Umm Not So Much

After finding a better video of this thanks to B lock U it was not exactly a punch and there seems to be a little soccer style flopping going on. Marshall Henderson did lose his cool and swung at Jackson Emery, but by no means was it an all out punch. Jackson did a little bit of acting for dramatic effect.

It may not have been a punch

but who’s to say he didn’t get his eyes jabbed by it or his nose checked. A simple jab at the nose doesn’t feel too hot…. unless you’re Forrest Griffin or Mike Tyson.

I take that back

he may not have had his eyes poked because Henderson clearly has his fist closed.

Still doesn't negate that he intentionally

swung at Emery. My guess is this kid will be gone for 3-5 games. What a douche.

It was stupid of Henderson.

But not worthy of the scorn I’ve heard from BYU fans. Especially when their own played embarrassingly acted to what was a piss-poor tap.

I actually lost respect for Henderson. If you’re going to do something like that, make it count or don’t do it at all.

I think you're missing the point

It’s not that we’re afraid Emery might be hurt or anything, it’s that he stepped out of the realm of sports and wanted to be a moron and fight fist to cuff. Like every Ute (including yourself) who got their panties in a wad (interesting that these are both having to do with Utah losses) when Max Hall said he hates Utah your wanna be Marsall Mathers Henderson intentionally threw a punch. There’s no two ways to twist it. He stepped away from basketball and took a cheapshot at Emery. It wasn’t unintentional, and tap or not it was wrong!

Prime example of this Oregons LaGarrett(?) Blunt. No matter how hard you connect an intentional attack is still an intentional attack.

agreed it was uncalled for

And it was intentional and as far I could tell unprovoked Emery , but not as bad as some are saying. Who knows Marshall could have gotten Emery in just the right spot to knock him over just like when it looked like Seth petrazaelli barely got kimbo slice and knocked him out
