Date for Williams v Hide set to be announced Monday
The last thing they lose is their punch, so if Danny gets him, it will be with the left hook. His right hand is shite nowadays (since the Potter double dislocation). But Danny has struggled in every one of his last few fights, always the sign of a shot fighter. Hide hasn't looked great either, but he's looked better. I just think Danny's ready for the taking.adamiw wrote:are you spud in disguise!?!?bennie wrote:Lads, lads, lads. Danny's shot. Hide will tear him to pieces.
youmade a bold statement there Bennie. I dunno how anyone can be so confident about their prediction for this fight, either guy is capable of winning with one punch.
Danny's been mixing at a far higher level recently. Man, he should still be british champ. Not bad for a 'shot' fighter.bennie wrote:The last thing they lose is their punch, so if Danny gets him, it will be with the left hook.

I'm no fan of Hide, but in the cold light of day I would fancy him to destroy Danny at this moment in time. Danny has failed to convince for too long now to turn the clock back.adamiw wrote:Danny's been mixing at a far higher level recently. Man, he should still be british champ.

Can I ask, how has this fight gone to purse pids - what title is on the line. I thought purse bids are only utilised in mandatory challenges. Last time I looked, neither have a belt.
Not unless its an eliminator for the British title? Where is Keith Long, he should be in the frame.
Also, what interest does this fight have for Jess Harding? He doesn't one either boxer, does he? Just a question here, did Hennessey ditch Hide?
Why did Jess bid for it?

I've posted this somewhere else but just in case you've miised it!
Jeff Harding has won the right to show the Hide vs Williams Fight exclusively on the BBC from allegedly's Sport Network
In another Nail in the Coffin for Sky Boxing coverage, Warren is doing everything he can to get his Contract with Sky terminated so he can jump ship to another Channel.
ITV is currently in talks with Warren about working together on big fights again and Warren has always talked about his fondness for the Channel. Due to ITV's loss of premiership football highlights, ITV now has a Cash surplus which they want to go into Live sport and Boxing is at the top of their list. They achieved great results in the late 80's and 90's with fights involving Eubank and Benn that registed as many as 15 million viewers, a feat that premiership football has never been able to achieve!
A added bonus for Warren is that ITV could afford to show the Big International fights that the BBC couldn't afford to put public money into. Obviously bringing boxers like Calzaghe and Hatton is a big attraction for ITV sport exec's who are looking to maxamise commerical opportunities!
In another twist, Channel 4 have been sniffing around boxing and have shown interest in following 1 boxer's carreer from start to finish in a kind of Reality documentary.
As stated before, SKY will be pulling out of boxing almost completly form 2005 and it looks like there are alot of takers for their boxers.
By the start of 2005, we could well find that Boxing is once again dominated by the BBC and ITV! Lets hope so!
