i've been wondering this myself. Isn't he based in Germany now? He's number 2 at CW in British Rankings i think..
He been waiting to fight Godfrey who is now looking likely to fight Steve Cunningham. I think he's now waiting on what happens with regards to WBC as it's been vacated.
WBC have ordered him to fight Francisco Palacios in a final eliminator now. Winner WILL get a title shot.
Godfrey is a good fight for Hide, but would be murdered by Cunningham... What about Hide vs Maccarinelli?? Makes sense for both imo and would be a good scrap and there would probably be a fair amount of interest in this fight in the UK.
It would be aewsome if he won a crusier belt. He is a good fighter who would have had a much better career if the crusiers were alwasy 200 pounds.
Hasn't he been the WBC mandatory for ages, surely this should fight be for the title if it's now vacant? How come he now has to fight an eliminator?
Yes he was! I don't understand it either. I saw him sitting ringside in last weaks double robbery in Germany, so he's still alive...
I thought that Hide-Palacios winner would face Fragomeni-Wlod II winner for the vacant title.....Hide has been waiting a stupidly long time for his shot.
