He should definatley be on promo..Hey he just Got His promo here.good work Virgil LOl.
I never liked Hill but he has always shown class.Not big on walking out on media and Arslan though!
Maybe he should wait for Maske to unretire again in another 10 years and go for trilogy

Hill is the champion so I guess he has the right to be mad. He was gracious in giving Arslan props, hes always been a class act.

Well he did apologize to Arslan before he stormed out. I say good for him. If they can't put his face on the promo then why even show up to the press conference? That's the way I'd feel about it. Let Arslan talk to himself since he's the only one who got his mug put up.

Truth is Virgil Hill has been shit on his whole career....The guy has always been a quality fighter and always acted like a gentlemen.....He has a pretty damn good record and used to hold some record at LHW...maybe most defenses in a row?,,,,ICB would know.....I like the guy...not flashy pretty much just a basic go in and do your job guy but one of those guys you really can say nothing bad about.....

To not put his face on the poster is a shame on the promoter

He never really blew up outside of Dakota territory and I think his style has always been held against him.Has flashed signs of Fierceness though...KO 1 James Kinchen (who was 1 year removed from Robbery against Hearns Imo) was a jaw dropper.Pulverized Tiozzo in shocker In 1st.Classy guy indeed
Should have faced Michael moorer though,would have been great.

Yeah a fight with Moorer would have been PPV worthy....It is a shame that the sport overlooks guys like Hill...who never do anything to disgrace the title or embaress the game itself...Its guys like that who deserve the big money...but hey boxing lives off drama and if you don't have any your lost in the shuffle

he made something like 20 defences in two different reigns as light heavyweight champ.

Dont those people know that Hill is the WBA "Regular" Crusierweight Champion. You dont become the "Regular" Champ for nothing. Sure he is not the WBA "Super" Cruiser weight champion. But at least he is not the WBA "Interim" Crusierweight Champion like Arslan.

Very disrespectful imo......wouldn't have bothred me but i can see why hill said fuck em and bounced.

[Tysonbruno]

Hill aint even the real champ he's a chump Haye is the man

If you have been fighting as long as Hill accomplishing what he has over the years, held a world title and had that happen to you I promise it would have bothered you....

The disrespect was not having the world champion on the poster

WBA cruiserweight champion Virgil Hill was a much happier person after Universum Box-Promotion printed new fight posters with Hill's image prominently displayed...
