Herbie Hide retired?

[skel1983]

Just looking through Fightnews and there upcoming fights and the 200lb bit about there ranked fighters says Herbie Hide has retired?? Has anyone heard about this?

[boxingbantz]

I hope this isn't true. He looked in great shape when he returned to Prizefighter earlier this year at cruiserweight until he got injured and had to pull out (and was then replaced by my mate Nick Okoth). Would've liked to have seen him carry on for a bit longer.

From previous behaviour of Herbie Hide, do you really expect him to go quietly if he has retired? That gash he got in prizefighter was bad, didn't look bad enough to keep him out this long though, maybe just taking a bit of a break. I'm pretty sure Hide would want to announce his retirement so he could get a bit more of the limelight and have people saying good things about him before he went.

Hide did himself no justice in prizefighter before than injury

he was picking off 3rd tier cruiserweights at ease

norton will get a pasting if hide turns up and gets his shots off

I thought Herbie looked poor in Prizefighter, reckon he thought it would be a load of one round jobs then started panicking when he couldn't get the guy out. Without the cut I think he would have pulled out.

He also turned down the Enzo Macc fight a couple of years ago. He has no intentions of fighting anyone half-decent again.
