This was a strange fight.

Riddick Bowe is like the king of strange fights and odd circumstances that happen around the sport.

Vitali destroyed Hide in 2 rounds, he did way better against Hide than Bowe did.

Prime For Prime...Vitali destroys Bowe

I have that fight and yes it was a very weird fight. Every time Bowe touched Hide, he falls down like he was getting hit by haymakers.

You're a Klitschko-hater.

Sanders was age 42 when he was KOed by Machimana. It was his last fight.

Herbie Hide was age 24 when he fought Bowe, perhaps not yet in his prime, and 28 and a world titleholder when he was KOed in round 2 1999 by Vitali. He fought for 11 more years after that.

Sanders was 38 when he fought Vitali, so 4 years difference same as Hide/Bowe and Hide/Vitali. But you completely missed the point of my post.

You can just replace Machimana with Nate Tubbs.

Seriously though when i think about Bowe I always think about the weird **** he was involved in not that he was a damn fine fighter.

Throw a glass a dudes head
Cold **** Larry Donald with a bare fist
The Madison Square Garden riot
Fan Man
Giving up his career to follow his dream of becoming a Marine only to give it up 48 hours later
Rock Newman and his African hat/dress
Having a press conference to throw the belt in a trash can
This fight

Did I miss anything?

at the misspelling. Reminds me of when I was on a hip-hop board and someone asked "Is Mike Tyson going to start raping soon?"

First Elijah Tillery fight was classic.



There's the 2nd Golota fight as well. An amazing fight which ends with Bowe receiving a 3 punch combo to the nutsac.
