[Woldemar]

12 rounds,who wins?

[Noxy]

Del boy

[emallini]

Chisora gets to him in about 7 rounds.

[DrDuke]

Chisora would roughhouse Hide and stop him by the mid rounds.

[tiny_acres]

Fun fight for 5 rounds. Herbie lived a brawl and could hit
But Chisora takes him out in 5

[Bodyshot3]

The olde Hide and Golota Rebus....which one of them turns-up, when and against who?
But always fun

I can see Hide handily beating Chisora but the percentages are that Chisora gets a smaller guy, who takes huge risks and ignores a sensible gameplan/strategy developed before the fight and duly gets smashed up inside the distance.

this fight never going 12 rounds at their best i think hides good for 4/5 rounds then chisora starts getting to him and stops around 7/8

[Switch hitter]

Hide was very heavy handed and could see him doing a similar job like David Haye.

[DrDuke]

Hide was very heavy handed and could see him doing a similar job like David Haye.

He was less slick and gutsy than Haye though.

[Bodyshot3]

He was less slick and gutsy than Haye though.

He was arguably just as slick/quick as Haye.....but far less disciplined or tactically astute/aware.

Hide had bags of hand and ring speed, plenty of power but a poor/oddball work ethic and ignored his corner's game-plan for the fight and also during the actual contest when they were pleading with him to fight to his strengths.

That's why Brit fans still despair about HH.

Haye beat Valuev by following a patient plan - a plan that worked - Hide would have probably gone too macho and tried to wipe Valuev out and eventually got tagged by a slow but huge guy who only needed to half-land against a small guy.

That's possibly the difference.
