Herbie Hide vs Joe Chingangu I

Post by Riddick Bowie »

Isn't the Wiki entry on this fight a tad biased and generally written in a tone that should be beneath Boxrec?

The video of the fight clearly shows that both men threw punches after the ref yelled break. Hide in fact threw two to Chingangu's one! I doubt it would have been deemed controversial had the other man won, especially given his history of punching on the break and hitting men on the floor. None of those fights are deemed 'controversial' by Boxrec.

"Hide was hit on the referee's call of break and was knocked down. The referee didn't deduct any points from Chingangu and didn't give Hide any time to recover. He was still hurt and was knocked down 6 times in total, being knocked out on the 6th and final knockdown. Hide would later avenge this controversial defeat by a first round knockout."
