McGregor put Alvarez on the canvas three times in the opening round alone and Henry easily identified the moment he knew his lightweight champion was in trouble.
"When Conor hit him the first time," he said. "I think Conor too, man, you cannot teach someone to hit like that. It takes hips, it takes certain shoulders, it takes a flick of the wrists.
"There are so many tiny mechanics, like what it takes to make an eyeball work is like what it takes to make the perfect swing. Like Babe Ruth, I just compare Conor, his swing, to Babe Ruth," added Henry, who admitted seeing McGregor in the flesh is very different to watching footage.
"I always watch tape of it but to be that close is a whole other thing. It comes along once every generation or once every 100 years or whatnot. God has just blessed him with a swing that I will probably never see again."

"I think this dude could take out Mayweather," said Henry. "I don't know if it went far but I could easily see him knocking anybody out."
