Does anyone know who Herbie Hide is fighting in Turkey on 16th June

Oh how the mighty have fallen!! Ex WBO champ...now fighting in Turkey against an unknown opponent!

[DarkDestroyer]

I believe he is fighting as a cruiser these days.
That will suit him quit nicely, he was never really a HW
I don't know the opponent though

[BubbleBox]

Just checked! You're right. Ranked 57th as a cruiser.

[DarkDestroyer]

57th at cruiser ?
He has a long way to go

[BubbleBox]

Obviously Turkey's Cruiser scene is the best place to start

[DarkDestroyer]

Is there even a cruiser scene ??
I used to love the Dancing Destroyer
Magnificent body but to small to compete with the big boys

[BubbleBox]

He was entertaining. Only 3 legitamate loses on his record (the other was a clash of heads) and 2 of them were Vitali and Bowe! Not an aweful career!

Bowe said Hide had him out on his feet and that Hide had hit him the hardest he has ever been hit.

Just checked! You're right. Ranked 57th as a cruiser.

Hide is good enough to be back in the top ten imo, so i doubt he will be ranked there that long, going by the depth of the cruiser scene guys ranked around him must be really bad.

[DarkDestroyer]

How old is he anyway ??

How old is he anyway ??

I was thinking the same thing he has been round for years he is still only 33/34 i think but this is about his 375th comeback!!! He seems to have comebacks every 2/3 years!!

[ICB]

How old is he anyway ??

35

[DarkDestroyer]

At least he is finally in the proper weight catagory

[JohnnyKickAss]

IMO one of the greatest nicknames...
...The Dancing Destroyer...
I really like that...

Herbie Hide and his gimp showing up at the Audley Harrison fight down in Bethnal Green and managing to spark a riot was pretty funny. Maybe he was something to do with that one at the Universum bill a couple of weeks ago?

He should make the top 10 cruiserweight easily, and get a title fight. If Haye wins the mandatory against Mormeck, then vacates the two belts, I'd back Hide to be in the mix for one of the vacant title bouts.
