Thread: BREAKING BOXING NEWS: Naseem Hamed gets 15 month jail time

Just on the TV now he's gotten 15 month and a 4 year driving ban

thats pretty harsh IMO and i dont think he'd have gotten that much if it wasnt soo high profile

Holy Shit

Well if we didn't already know he was finished we def do now!!!

it works both ways they either go easy on them or harsh to make an example of them if they're celebs.

There goes his return to the ring, i think with him being so high profile he will do probably 4/5 months, maybe he can get in there and start doing some fitness work get himself in shape for a return??

Maybe a bit harsh considering some guy got 12 weeks for killing someone in a hit and run!!!!! the other day.

But he did flee the scene, and for all he knows the other guy could of been dead and i read somewhere he broke more or less every bone in his body, anyway i agree maybe a little harsh going off other similar cases.

Jail did Tyson good...physically that is.

Naseem Hamed jailed for car crash

Naseem Hamed arriving at court with his wife Eleasha
Former world boxing champion Naseem Hamed has been jailed for dangerous driving after a crash in his sports car which left a man badly injured.
Hamed, 32, from Dore in Sheffield, was sentenced to 15 months at Sheffield Crown Court after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing.

The boxer was also banned from driving for four years.

Hamed was at the wheel of his £325,000 McLaren-Mercedes when he crashed at 90mph on Ringinglow Road, Sheffield.

Motorist Antony Burgin spent weeks in hospital after the crash left him with fractures to "every major bone in his body".

Hamed was charged with dangerous driving in December.

A devout Muslim, Hamed - born in Sheffield to Yemeni parents - was just 17 when he made his boxing debut in 1992 and soon earned a reputation for flamboyance in victory.

He won the world featherweight title in 1995 and was awarded an MBE in 1999.

Hamed remained unbeaten until 2001, when he lost to Mexico's Marco Antonio Barrera.

In November, he announced that he intended to make his boxing comeback in the United States this year.

seeing that photo. No way was he coming back

Its not harsh, the guy that got 12 weeks just wasn't punished properly. If you cause an accident in your metal ego extension box from being an arsehole and then leave a man for dead you deserve serious jail time.

Yes your probably rite Adam but if i was Naz i wouldnt be happy considering similar cases and sentencing, but fleeing a scene possibly leaving someone to die deserves Jailtime agreed, it's just a shame are Legal System is a load of bollocks!!

some time to get fit should do him good,if he uses his time productively he could still make a comeback

he will get fit in jail, more or less not alot to do than use gym, not like he needs educating for a job wen he's released.

send him parkhurst, i'll ave him

I hear what your saying though, its not fair and equal treatment but when you've been on a flipside of an accident like this you start to see things the other way round.
