Post by taffytoon »

I was speaking to his Uncle today who said he has Drawn Herbie in the first round. They are fighting last apparently.

Good luck Wayne (I think he will need it :cry: )

Herbie will stop him in one. Williams v Dickinson will be good fight also Anthony v Corbett could be explosive

Only sponsored him when he fought you Tony as we knew he needed to take time off work to train full time for you :box:
Lets be honest if he did pull the win off over you it would have propelled his career IMHO.

Herbie is way beyond his best, and his power doesn't seem as good nowadays, only 2 stoppages in his last 6 fights. He seems to only have a jab and straight right hand left, he just doesn't throw hooks anymore.

Of course he will start a huge favourite over Brooks, but i'm not so sure Herbie will be the winner of the whole thing.

Dead right about Hide.

He was so sharp & fast in his heyday.

I watched a lot of his early fights live & you could almost feel his power from ringside.

Like you say, that has all gone now.

I suppose that factor will make this prizefighter a lot more competitive & interesting.

Herbie should beat Brooks with ease....

But anything can happen in these things. :-?

Herbie was devastating when he turned pro, i think if the cruiser 200lb limit had been in back then, he would of beaten anyone with his power. I remember first seeing him and thinking 'Wow' this is something special there.

I have said all along with this tourny that I expect an upset, not sure if that will come via Wayne but I don't think Hide will win the 30k

the line-up for this cruiserweight prizefighter is not too competetive in my opinion, hide will wipe the floor with everyone and scoop the cash.

only corbett stands a punchers chance against herbie, but corbett is hardly iron chinned himself.

the smart money has got to be on the herbster !!
