The cut was shocking, but that cutman appeared just as bad.
Who the hell was he?

Whoever he is, he deserves a medal. Hopefully this is the last we'll see of the chinless wonder.

Mike Williams was there for Froch, why couldn't Hide use him?

I think you mean Mick Williamson. Trouble with Hide's team is that it's American.

Opps silly me...

What could any cutman do with a cut like that?

I know what Bennie meant, he didn't seem to have a clue was just standing there looking for a while!

Ok.

Unless you have a super fast sewing machine in your corner there was not much that could have been done with that.

The cut was wider than the Nile.

now i know im probably going to regret this post but being bored i thought id check this out....

im sorry matchfixer but your statement is factually wrong. the nile at its delta basin is 190 km (120 mi) wide. Now this is substantially wider that the cut hide sustained. i mean i know hide does have a very high looking forehead but to claim its over 120 miles wide is just crazy talk mate..

Damn, that's one big river.

I make one little comment and look what happens!

i think what happened here matchfixer was the fact you picked on the nile.

if youd used another river such as the amazon or the mississippi or even my local river, the river forth then you might have got away with it. but the nile is a different kettle of fish, or river of fish if you please. its the undoubted daddy of the worlds waterways.

as they state so eloquently on http://www.nilebasin.org/IntroNR.htm#Intro "It is a great river which deserves our deepest respect." so lets big up the Nile

Well, when I next need a geography expert I know where I can find one!

And I suppose Ali was incorrect when he said he floated like a butterfly because I doubt he really can float (except in water which doesn't count)

As for stinging like a bee I guess he doesn't actually inject a venom into the skin when he punches!

Christ I didn't think anyone actually payed attention to geography while at school.

What made me laugh was the way the would be cutman gave the gaping wound a good old rub with the towel. No wonder Herbie thinks the world is against him :) [/offtopic]

The Nile rocks :p

im not sure i would actually agree that in the strictest sense of the the word a butterfly floats either. it more flies eratically on the breeze hence its name i suppose. but lets not get bogged down in somanitcs eh?

Is it?

Only the amazon comes close in length! Unless its consistently deeper I guess the Nile is the biggest!

Sure is southpaw.... I hunted this down.. help clear up any water related ambiguities!! not too much in it between the nile and the amazon but looks very much like egypts big daddy nile just scoops it

1.The Nile is 4,160 miles long!

2.The Amazon is about 4,000 miles from start to finish, winding its way through most of South America.

3,4. China lays claim to Numbers 3 and 4: The Yangtze River is 3,964 miles long, and the Huang He is 3,395.

5. The Ob-Irtysh River, which is Number 5 on the list, is 3,362 miles long from its source in southern Russia to its mouth in the Ob Bay, in the very cold waters off northern Russia.

6,7 Russia has two more rivers in the Top Ten. Number 6 is the Amur River, which flows through Siberia and is 2,744 miles long. The Lena River, at Number 7, flows north through central Russia and is 2,734 miles long.

8. The Congo, which flows through central Africa, is Number 8 at 2,718 miles long.

9. North America's longest river is Number 9: the Mackenzie, in Canada, at 2,635 miles.

10. Rounding out the Top Ten is the Mekong River, in Southeast Asia, at about 2,600 miles long.

and heres a thought.. You can see a big difference from Number 1 to Number 10. The Nile is 2,000 miles longer than the Mekong.

right on......

Doesnt the Mississippi come into it at all then.

I was being sarcastic neil r.

Who doesn't know that the Nile is the biggest?
