Hide returns Dec. 23!

Former two-time WBO heavyweight champion Herbie Hide (40-4, 39 KOs) is going for gold again. On December 23rd in Halle (Saale) "the Dancing Destroyer" faces unbeaten Mikhail Nasyrov (18-0, 13 KOs) for the vacant WBC International cruiserweight belt. Rudolf Kraj had relinquished the belt after his last successful defense on December 6th because he is fighting an elimination bout for the world championship next. To become world cruiserweight champion is exactly what Herbie is aiming for as well. "I would have loved to strip the belt from Kraj by beating him in the ring," said Hide.

I love when Herbie fights. You know someone is getting carried out of there and generally you couldnt give a shite which one of them it is ;D

Wow Herbie's K.O percentage is just shy of a 100%! You learn something new everyday. Stay at cruiser I guess!

CC mate i totally agree. I remember seeing him fight Vitali and getting sparked out with a hard jab.
I think Herbie could do well at Cruiser, altho he may have left his run too late. Imagine if he win a title and looked good, we could see Hide v Haye. That'd be interesting.

And he won the 1st round against Vitali in impressive fashion as well. Alot of people thought Hide took a dive in Vitali fight but i don't Hide just has one of the weakest chin's in HW history.

Re: Hide returns Dec. 23!

Well I felt Cruiser is a better weight for him than heavy so I'm pleased. He'd be a decent match for Enzo, but I don't see it happeneing too soon.

Maybe he did. Hide did well in that fight apart from being knocked down seven times he put up a good show, but was just too small.

At least two of those knockdowns Hide it the floor from the fear of what might of been had the blow landed, as he watched it whistle past his nose

No way, i see his face. It was like he was on speed :hypnotized:

Although, he did fall down very very very easilly under pressure from Bowe.

I didn't think it was either but im just saying alot of people thought he did, and last time i see it. It didn't look like a hard punch at all to be honest.

Agreed....Hide could have been one of the top CW to ever grace the sport if he had settled down in the division....I can understand that the money was not there though
