http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/sport/norwich_boxer_herbie_hide_set_for_shock_return_1_1375678 Wow, did not see this one coming! Hide by KO if he has anything left...:think
How, exactly? It's pretty much last chance saloon for two guys from the same city. Makes perfect sense.
If Herbie wins this will we FINALLY get so see the mooted eliminator with Rob Norton, I've been looking forward to that one!
I'm pretty sure Norton retired after the Leon Williams fight. Hide v Norton was ordered by the BBBofC about 3 times, but nobody ever made a purse bid :nut
He finishes off both Enzo and McPhilbin quickly IMO. Jon-Lewis Dickinson is the main man on the British cruiserweight scene now though and beats all of the guys named on this thread.
Dont reckon Herbie has much left, suprised in the jump in divisions for Mcintosh. Should be interesting though.
Nonsense! This has "Fun fight whilst it lasts" written all over it :deal All we need is for Hide to stay out of trouble between now and September and we're there... :good
Can't believe Hide who was guaranteed a WBC title fight back in 2009 has done nothing since, and now he's fighting again? He must need the money.
Hide kept going on about how he wanted to be the first guy to win a world title at heavy then drop down to win one at cruiser, but he avoided a world title shot like the plague. He was offered a WBO fight with Enzo and turned it down. I can't work out what he's been trying to achieve in his career over the past few years, it's just been a load of fights against journeymen while insisting he deserves a world title shot, even though he doesn't even have a promoter. Always been a strange chap I suppose :think
