Herbie Hide vs. Enzo Maccarinelli

[Ian_ST24i]

Enzo by mid-rounds KO.

[Chunk..]

Whoever lands the first big punch will win.

I'd like Herbie to win to be honest.

[The Hammer]

This fight should be exciting while it lasts.

The odds are at least 100 to 1 that it will not go the distance (two big punchers with vulnerable chins).

dont know much about this herbie guy but he sounds like a big puncher, thats not what enzo needs right now. hes coming off a loss but listening to him in the build-up he sounds confident and raring to go. id go with enzo.

P.S/ this herbie guy has he got a solid chin? is he quick can anyone tell me anything about him?

Here's a video of Herbie Hide, he was WBO heavyweight champion, his opponent was the challenger:

Whoever lands first. If I had to pick I'd take Enzo by KO in the mid rounds.

Not particularly chinny, nor quick, certainly not at CW anyway. He has fought mostly at HW, although he was small for one, and briefly held the WBO belt before losing to Rid**** Bowe. He won it back and successfully defended a couple of times before losing to Vitali. Then lost to a couple of nobodies which set back his career before, wisely it seems, dropping back to CW where he has crept right up the rankings almost unnoticed. Apparently nobody has won a HW title and then a CW one (as opposed to the other way around) and Herbie hopes to be the first. He is actually a very dangerous opponent for Macca.. with better preparation I'd have tipped him to win. Only fought a couple of weeks ago, so he will be in shape though.

I was actually surprised to see Herbie's record is as good as it is; he was just under the shadows of first Bruno then Lewis, at least as far as the British public were concerned, and never got the recognition he deserved.

I've been saying how much I like Hides chances at a CW title since I joined here. I love the idea of this fight. Hide by brutal KO!!

I'd be happy to Herbie fill the spot, i think they could find alot worse on 5/6 days notice to fill the spot, Herbie always bring excitment to the table, he's a former 2 time world heavyweight champion,wbc intercontinental cruiser champ, is on a 11 fight win streak, hasn't been beat in 4 years,and will talk some trash to hype the fight and always has a punchers chance.
