    His style is awful.

    He'd go in their and probably just head butt one of Enzo's bombs before the first round is out. :lol:

    The wind of one of Enzo's punches will put Hide on his arse.

    Hide's just a brutal KO waiting to happen.

    You'r all right about Hide of course. i remember watching him fight some tomato can recently and thinking to myself he may as well just ask the guy to hold still. Punches were emailed (**** a telegraph, that's some old ass **** right?)

    And he gurns when he's throwing them, too. It's like watching an old tramp fight.

    I don't know how is he planing to get in the same ring with Macarineli. He can't stand more than 4 rounds

    I highly doubt Herbie is planning a long, tactical fight...he'll try to rush for a knockout.

    Fella he was twice heavy weight champion of the world and he's never been anywhere near a cruiserweight title. Hardly pitiful.

    If it's Hide, I'd say that Macca is ducking Ezra Sellers again

    Just been reading the Eastern Daily Press who quote a Sports Network spokesman who says that the fight will still be for the vacant WBO Cruiserweight title.... what a complete joke.

    Macca is ranked #4, will pick a fighter who has 3 days to prepare and will be gifted a 'world' title for that. What a farce.

    At least he's actually going to fight for the titles instead of getting it in the post.

    I like Macca but he's not being done any favours by his promoter. Something's fishy with Maccarinelli's fights... Opponents never get named until late on, stupidly late usually and we get some shenaneghans a few days before the fight.

    Also, being gifted a WBO belt (twice) isn't helping him prepare for tougher fights down the line.

    I'm genuinely doubtful that Banks was ever coming over to be honest.

    I think that whoever Enzo fights will have known for a couple of weeks, but with Enzo - Banks as the main event it would have added a few tickets sales and ppv's.

    Sadly, it's got to the stage where I dont trust FW one bit. I think Joe should promote a show in Cardiff with all of the usual suspects on it, Enzo, Gavin Rees, Bradley, Kerry Hope the lot.
