Neither too skilled but these two are quick and heavy handed, both have the firepower to take each other out. I’d personally give it to Sanders because of his size and the fact that he has a big win over Wlad. Who do you guys think takes it?
I will go against the grain here, I pick Hide on points or late stoppage, Sanders gets severely overrated because he beat a pre Steward Wladimir Klitschko and wobbled Vitali Klitschko, but Vitali was off balance and Sanders got dominated most of that fight and Sanders lost to mediocre Rahman who I believe would’ve lost to hide, Sanders had bad stamina issues and when Hide saw you were in trouble or gassed he would go for it if it went late Hide would win because he is faster quicker feet better stamina and better technically, Sanders best chance is early, Hide would have to weather an early onslaught, but I think he could because Hide has very fast feet going backwards and forwards and while Sanders does have fast hand, he doesn’t really have fast feet and Hide would just move the first few rounds and have sanders chasing him and have him tire himself out Sanders was clumsy when he had to chase people down, his feet were all over the place, anyway, Hide would take over after the 4th and start outboxing and outspeeding Sanders by hitting him then avoiding Sanders punches with his feet and he would be countering Sanders as he tries to chase Hide down, Hide was a good counterpuncher, and when he did counter it would be to hurt his opponent, his counters weren’t to score points
Great analysis and I can’t really argue with the points you made, but if hide survives the early rounds and fights a gassed sanders for the rest of the fight I’m positive corrie wouldn’t make it to the final bell
Sanders all the way. Hide wasn't particularly hard to land on and anything Corrie could hit, he could put down. People thinking that the version of Sanders that fought Wlad and Vitali is the best version have no clue.
Sanders for me for me hide is just to wide open but this could of been a wild fight lasting 2-3 rounds
Had no idea people thought that, never read that on this forum, your right about people have no clue if they think that since he clearly was out of shape in those bouts, I know he never came into a fight in amazing shape but in the Wlad and vitali fights he was straight up fat
Hide lasts about as long as he did with Vitali. His horrible defense/hand placement/chin way up in the air are the worst flaws to have against a tall guy that is a southpaw sharpshooter with fast hands. He would not see the end of the 2nd round and would go out quicker if the bout does not take place in his backyard---like all his best results.
Sanders within 2. Hide is too fragile and too defensively open. Even if you ignore the Wlad destruction, Sanders wins are better than Hides. I was a fan of Hide growing up, he was fun fighter to watch against past it gatekeepers and I rooted for him but he's just too fragile
