What has happened to the "Dancing Destroyer" Herbie Hide.
After he lost to Lithuanian Mendauga Kulikauskas he has disappeared, has he retired ?
I well remember him trash talking "Audrey" (his words not mine!) and "Danny" as both being bums he would dismantle on his way to another world titile.

Think he is training in LA with Eddie Mustafa Muhammad can't come back to britain or he will be arrested as far as I know.

WOuld be good to see him fight again but I can't say Im convinced. Still officially on Hennessy's books though

He's probably still driving about in that fiat punto.

Imagine if him and Herbie Hide shared a flat, fookin' ell!

Mind you, Herbie would just get knocked out the first time they had an argument, he'd get that flip-top head of his split like a melon, and then Ike would probably try and sleep with his corpse.

Last I heard, Herbie had moved in with Ike, not long after this post as it happens, but that was over a year ago...

Speaking of British HWs who are a bit rubbish Henry Akinwande had a fight last saterday. Anyone know what the deal with him is at the moment.

The German promoter's Sauerland signed him up to fight Russian giant Nicolai Valuev in July/August. He had a fight on the same bill as Valuev's 3 round win over Etienne against a Russian journeyman by the name of Alex Vassilev and won on points over 8. He was chosen to fight Valuev because he has a good reputation in Germany as he has beaten Hoffman, Schiesser and Schultz in the past

Hasn't he renounced his Britishness?

Yes Akinwanker became a US citizen, slagged off Britain at the time aswell if I recall. fornicate him the hugging bastard.

Thought he was Nigerian.

He was a natioalised Brit then he slagged us off and became a US citizen. The guys a cock.

I fella I vaguely knew a long time back actually beat Akinwande in an ABA final in the 80's. Akinwande was winning the fight but guess what? Got DQ'ed for holding!

Does he do it as much as Ruiz?

Depends on how the fights going. Seems to mentally cave when somebody puts the hurt on him and then the hugging begins. I remember Manny Steward actually saying Akinwande had the talent to be one of the best heavyweights in the world but he didn't have what it takes mentally.

He might as well stay hidden.

He couldn't even hold a pint at a German beer festival, yet alone hold a punch!!!!

He will just get KO'd, the 1st time he steps up in class!!!!

I've heard he's a real smooth stalker, but others have said he's just a lowknife. Herbie should never have been that highly serrated, he was never that sharp, definitely no bernard chopkins. if he wanted a slice of the action, he should have improved his level of chopposition and stepped up to the plate. Fork gods sake, the man had no glass, he belongs in a spoonatic asylum.

for forks sake

I've got your coat for ya. Here you go. ;)

it's not mine, but i need a new coat. anyway, what happened to the pun loving criminals of the mark rench thread? where's david payne when you need him?

anyway, i think herbie will take a major scalpel this year to reestablish himself. just a stab in the dark.

What was the reason Hide had to cleave the UK? Did he leave a girlfriend behind, or is he a spatula?

I heard that a girl gave him the boot. He was really cut up about it.

Surely if he's in trouble with the law, his boxing slice-ence would be revoked?

aww come on cut(lery) it out.
