If Hide took a couple more fights fair enough, not done so much to earn a shot though.

its only just struck me, id actually be rooting for herbie in this one too ..
what about you fellas, is enzo not as popular as he should be, if he suffering a wrath of public discontent due to his promoters unpopularity?

One big punch landing from Enzo and Hide takes his time on the canvas.
Still, I'd rather foolishly be cheering for Herbie though.
Very foolishly. Enzo a good lad, Herbie .........

Boxing is about business, not about some abstract idea of who has earned what.

No sports and fair competition is and fights fans want to see often are too.

Herbie has a punchers chance against anyone, the fight won't last long but it would be exciting, I reckon Enzo KO's Hide in 2

Its a fight I'd like to see , I can't wait to see HH in a meaningful contest. Will FW (and poss Enzo) view it as a high risk low reward fight though.

coemo n chaps how long have we been hoodwinked into thinking herbie is doing something meaningful? 4 years or so? Since his loss to Chumbawumba or whoever it was on a cut.
that was on the beeb thats howlong ago that was.
think we can forget about Mr hide.

Are you pissed?

Enzo and FW should be doing everything possible to get Cunningham in the ring. Thats the battle for the new top spot IMO

Enzo will send the next 3 years fighting the usual suspects.
In that time FW will make Enzo a millionaire and make himself a couple of million too.

I'd rather see Enzo in with a legitimate champion / contender, but, seriously, what are the chances of that happening in the next 5 years? At least a fight with Herbie would excite the fans (for the round or 2 that it takes for Enzo to knock him out), which is more than can be said for fights with the likes of Bobby Gunn.

I'd like to see something to spice things up. Hide brings that car wreck expectation, massive vulnerability, combined with size & power.
Darnell Wilson would also be good, but we've been into that.

yeah, but what if Enzo falls to pieces like Hide's last opponent? Herbie has that effect on ppl.

BC, any ideas/thoughts whats next in line for Enzo? Cunningham? Ding? target one of the vacant belts when Haye drops them? another muppet defence f the WBO?

For once I aggree with BC's assesment of a fight however I would like to see him fight someone who will punch back (sorry that last kid don't cut it) How about Cunningham?
