    I wasn't suprised at all when Hide whipped Bentt's hide (hardy har har). Bentt may have been a good amateur but he didn't do much as a pro. The win over Morrison was part fluke, part Morrison not being well prepared. Hide ended his career. Bentt's not a bad actor though.

    Hide was 25-0 (24) with only the durable Bigfoot Martin lasting the distance. He had only fought lower level guys with a few well known trial horse mixed in like Wimpy Halstead (KO4)... but he had really beat the hell out of all of them. He beat Halstead quicker than Morrison or Alex Stewart. Mercer had stopped him quicker though. In Hide's next fight he landed some good shots on Bowe before being stopped in the 6th round. Hide dropped Tony Tucker several times and stopped him in the 2nd round. Seldon had stopped him in the 7th round, Ruiz would stop him in the 11th.

    I think it's more like Morrison was to Foreman what Holmes was to Shaver in their first fight.
