He is slurring quite bad on the ITV interview!
Anyways did you see his house? Did that come from Boxing? He must have saved some good dough!

Dunno, but this should be a good test for him.

Putting a sentence together in the Queens English has never been Herbie's strong point...

I tell you what, he would not land a glove on Cunningham. I'd love to see him fight JM Mormeck, though I think Mormeck would murder him.

Herbie has always had a bit of a stutter, and seems to be controlling it more nowadays, he's not slurring to me.

I just hope we don't have Bob Williams reffing all night

Herbie seems to have forgot how to throw a left hook these days, i've watched his last few fights, and its always the jab and straight hand he throws. doesn't seem to mix much else up in it

Herbie doesn't even jab these days - he uses it as a measuring stick only to telegraph the stright right like MAD! It was quite rediculous.

The power is still there.

I seem to remember he got about £2m quid for the Bowe fight because Rock Newman and Bowe had burnt so many bridges as real champ they had nowhere else to go.
Hide had this house built with the money from that I believe.

Apparently he has quite a few properties he rents out all over the place.

I don't think his speech has changed, maybe slurring slightly more.

He was loving that straight right hand to the body wasn't he??

He does need to show more variety in his work if he is going to unsettle the elite fighters of the division, although he will always have a good dig it seems.

I liked him. Thought he was a lot better than Michael Pass.

He's always had that African accent, if that's what you mean. Did he grow up in Nigeria?
