    Herbie Hide is great, although he's underperformed recently.

    In his prime, Hide would usually KO his opponent early, or be KO'd early. In his last couple of fights, he's actually gone 12 full rounds. I dunno what's up with the guy, but I hope he gets his crazy power and glass jaw back.

      I love Herbie.


      Prime Herbie vs David Haye

      that would be 1 minute of boxing magic right there.

        I really enjoyed the Hide vs. V. Klitschko fight while it lasted.

          I actually thought Herbie started off pretty well.

          Then he got hit.

          If Herbie had any kind of a chin he would have been a very good heavyweight. But it is Amir Khanesque.

            Looking foward to this show, Herbie seems to have career back on track in germany going on a 9 fight win streak and winning the wbc International title and getting a number 5 rating in the wbc ranking.And also should be good to see if thaxton can get the ebu title whenn he takes on Juan Carlos Diaz Melero who seems to have a pretty decent record 36-1-ko19 record. Should be good.
