Herbie Hide

[Lenny Rider]

Facing 2 years in the nick due to coke dealing, a sad post script to an 'interesting' career.

He was never really world class, just in the right place at the right time, boxing wise.

 

[Mackenzie]

Shame really, he could have carved out a decent career as a bouncer.

What a waste.

Great name for a drug dealer that, Herbie Hide. Conjures up images of marijuana hastily being placed in toilet cisterns as the police batter down the front door.

As ever you show your lack of boxing knowledge, Herbie Hide was a top heavyweight and fought the very best like Klitchko and a peak Bowe. He had a punch to KO the best and wiped out Tony Tucker and if it wasn't for Lewis ducking him would have beaten him too

Cut the trash talk Ernest, Im not Dick Tight, Bowe destroyed Hide, as would have Lewis, Bruno and even our very own Scott Welch.

Herbie Hide was very underrated , trouble is he was a fruit cake. Do you remember when he provoked the crowd brawl at a Harrison fight ? I would rather have seen Hide v Welch than Welch v Akinwande which was one of the worst 'World Title' fights in history, Hide v Bruno would have been first to connect and around 1994 would have been a 50/50 fight because Hide smashed Bentt who would have been a good test for Bruno rather than the road sweepers Big Frank fought then, Lewis would have been a good fight and if Lennox had underrated him like he did McCall around this time he would have been KO'D by Hide.

I remember the Hide/Harrison spat and the subsequent headline "Herbie goes bananas"

Warren wanted Welch and Hide to fight but Hide swerved it.

 

[Ernest]

At least Big Scott had Joe Bugner on his CV, that was the time when Boxing PPV's were worth it with about 10 decent fights spread over the whole evening and night

What a waste.

Maybe this is where the coke dealing came in?

 

[GoingUp]

He was brilliant at Cruiserweight. Concidering he was a real heavyweight he showed real heart to keep getting up against Riddick Bowe...

 

[Questions]

Who remembers Pele Reid in years gone by. He knocked out Vitali Klitscho in a world title fight. Go on tell me I,m wrong.

 

[GoingUp]

Remember when he was on Prizefighter couple years back, he pulled out of the (was it the final cant remember) because of an injury he didnt wanna aggravate because he had a world title fight lined up? It never came off though.

wasnt that in a kick boxing fight?

 

[Ernest]

I remember Pele Reid getting knocked sparko by Julius Francis amongst others, had a chin of glass

 

[Questions]

Yes it was GoingUp. For a while some people thought he might be the real deal but the fact he fought in a gold sequinned skirt gave the game away ..............oh and the fact he kept getting knocked out as well.

My first live professional boxing match was hide vs tucker at the Norwich sports village in July 97. My uncle worked for the hotel chain so we got free everything:- hotel room, fight tickets, food & drink. We got invited back to the after party whereby we were served voul a vons and cocktails by the daily mirror girls whilst discussing the noble art with luminaries such as Michael buffer, johnny nelson & Jim Mcdonnell. It was the night of the infamous ear biting fight of Tyson vs Holyfield 2 so we saw that pan out with the majority of boxers on the undercard and their trainers.

I Remember Apollo creed getting spanked by Ivan dragov a bit harsh when he said "if he dies he dies"

 

[topbanana36]

Pele Reid won his first 13 by KO against some cardboard cut outs Shame on Herbie had ability but his lifestyle and screw loose attitude let him down.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Clifton Mitchell was another heavywieght prospect, nutured by ITV and Frank Warren in the good old days, who looked 'pretty handy' until they put him in with someone who actually hit him back.

Not forgetting Noel Quarless, Liverpool's answer to Joe Bugner........
