Prizefighter's a helluva lot better than some of the crap he's been involved in recently in Germany. He even fought a FOUR-rounder last year.

Wouldn't be the biggest surprise if he lost in this. He hasn't looked much good for a while now, and if he just comes out swinging with his eyes on stalks like he sometimes (often?) does, he has the potential to be outboxed or even KO'd.
I know different levels, etc, but as others have said, who'd have thought Baker would beat Williams? And how about Arron beating Pryce?
The combination of Hide being significantly past his best, plus the vagaries the tournament format throws up, plus the possibility/probability of Hide being complacent, makes him a very shaky favourite for me.
u can have the field Oliver....he will win esy......

Though he should walk it, its a potential banana skin if it goes wrong.... it'll scupper his hopes of a world title shot!
Just remember Hides chin.... i'll never forget the time no-hoper Joeseph Chingangu exposed it

I reckon there's 32,000 reasons why he'd be up for the tourny, come out swinging each time, with his power it should be easy money and it would raise his profile again in the UK.

Only if he wins, think about where he will be if he looses.

I thought Hide had invested his early career earnings(5mill+ apparently)well and is a wealthy man.

He repeats this so much its become unbelieveable.I have thought this for a while,and the more he goes on about it,the more i have thought he is struggling.I met him at the a.b.a.'s in 89,and he was,to be polite,a strange guy.
