Vitali Klitschko Vs. Herbie Hide.

[Farmboxer]

I remember this fight. Vitali was an five to one underdog. Hide was fast, but Vitali took him apart easily. I thought Hide was going to die! His legs stuck straight out, very stiff. Scary to watch. Hide did a lot of trash talking, just like Haye.

I think this fight is a good preview of Vitali Vs. Haye. I can't see that fight going very many rounds unless Vitali decides to take his time, then it will probably end around the 5th rd., but Vitali by knockout in 1 or 2 is more like it.

Haye is so off balance, wide punches, bad chin, I think he is doomed.

[latineg]

farmy everywhere u go on this forum u bring up vit and hide for god sakez

yes hide was fast and yes vit caught him in the second round with a really good head shot or so and he went down like a bag o tomatoez and started havin leg stiffing n spasmz blah blah and yes farmy it may have been scary to watch but you obviously really loved it cuss u just keep talking about it all over the freakin forum

[UndisputedUK]

Hide did not want to fight Vitali, he was forced to. He choose to fight Bowe and lasted longer against him Just shows how awesome Vitali is.

[Farmboxer]

Very true and I was in Bowe's camp!

Hide is 6 feet 1 inches tall, fast, hits hard, better technique than Haye, but gives me an idea of how the fight will go.

Haye lovers think he is unbeatable.

[Leifhackman]

The smell and taste of Vitaly´s fore hand glove will be well known by Haye. Ugh!

[BoxingWM]

Yeah, but Vitali was young back then, now he is 37 and he looked much slower and less powerful in his last fight against Gomez than normally. Haye certainly has a chance to beat him.

[Mazallan]

Hide was a quick little chinny fighter and got destroyed by Klit.

Haye is a quick little chinny fighter who probably will not get the chance to get destroyed by Kllit.

[Farmboxer]

Vitali will knock Haye out. I think Vitali Vs. Haye will happen.

[Bobby]

hide vitali to me or hide bowe will be similar to vitali haye

[Mazallan]

I doubt Haye will be able to put up a better performance than Hide.

[Beeston Brawler]

Haye has a better chin than Hide and probably hits harder.

Other than Tony Tucker, who was pretty much done, who did/has Hide beaten worth a wank?

People have built Vitali into this unbeatable monster, on the back of him giving Lennox Lewis six hard rounds. They tend to forget that he was on the verge of being knocked out in that fight, and has since had a four year lay off and beaten up one fat plodder and a fat, 36 year old cruiser.

vitali was an underdog? i know very little about herbie hide, and only vaguely remember him fighting when i was younger. whenever ive watched klitschko-hide i always assumed vitali was supposed to win that fight...

Get the fuck out with that bullshit english tard:patsch:rofl

It was Lennox hugging like Gay boy for his dear life in that fight> had no balls to give rematch because he knew Vitali would kick his ass again...

[kinski]

Haye needs another fight 2 prove he's ready. Beating a shot Barrett proves nothing.

[Farmboxer]

I agree.

Vitali would have knocked Lewis out in the next round, but the fight was stopped to save Lewis.

[kenmore]

I always thought it was ridiculous that Hide was favored to beat Vitali. I knew as soon as the fight was signed that Hide would get wrecked. Although I regarded Hide as a good fighter, I thought he was too small to cope with any oversized, strong, powerful, reasonably athletic heavyweight. The Bowe fight had already proved Hide's limitations.

Vitali KO2 Hide didn't surprise me at all.

[Farmboxer]

I thought Hide was seriously hurt. It was scary. I think Vitali will do the same to Haye in Sept.

[Beeston Brawler]

Ummm.....

Yeah ok.

Vitali was on queer street after taking that uppercut and hardly knew where he was. Not to mention badly busted up with his eye all but hanging out.

I can understand why Klitschko and his fans are bitter, after all, it was his one and only shot at greatness.

Why should Lewis give a rematch?

If you are the champion and you beat the challenger fair and square, why bother?

The truth was that he was only hanging around for one last pay day, didn't really want to box any longer afterwards and retired.

[Bigcat]

I was a big Hide fan and was with Hide in America when he boxed Bowe..

I thought he would actually outmanouver Vitali..

But it went pear shaped..

Yeah, also Vitali isn't what he once was. He has slowed down alot and I just see Haye beating him to the punch to be honest.

[Farmboxer]

Vitali is not slow by any means. Vitali will knock Haye out, watch and see.

[jamel]

Damn I would have put everything on Klitschko back then if I was into betting. I can't believe that Vitali could be the underdog.

[jamel]

Even if Haye beats Vitali to the puch it does not matter as he cannot KO Vitali. However the first power punch Vitali lands and hey Haye is on his butt. Then it will just be a question of how many times he will have to go down before he will have had enough or be spark out.

[Farmboxer]

I have watched Vitali Vs. Gomez several times and look how Vitali blocks punches, stays out of range, comes inside and kicks Arse. Vitali is quick and does not fight the same way every time. Vitali knows how to fight Haye.

[Glasschin]

Does anyone on here have any boxing knowledge!!!!! seems like no one knows what they talk of.....

[M.Alexander]

Hide suffered a rupted eardrum in that fight. Watch when he was bleeding out of the ear after the fight....

[Farmboxer]

Vitali was a five to one underdog. Hide was fast, but he was out, really out.

[lion]

whom did vitaly kd with his first power punch??? lol you klitchkomaniacs are really weird.. Haye is going to fuck up your boy pretty bad wait an see

[Mr Butt]

the klits are hugely overrated by some on this site but i think vitali will beat haye as he has a better chin than haye i hope i am wrong and haye ko`s vitali.and wlad must be pleased haye got injured so he could fight a 60% fit slow small white tyson :lol: .it also gave him an exscuse to get his big brother to fight the bad man that was going to fuck him up.

[Boxfanatic]

I agree.

Vitali would have knocked Lewis out in the next round, but the fight was stopped to save Lewis.

No, the fight was stopped because Vitali's face was falling apart.

[Flea Man]

I agree.

Vitali would have knocked Lewis out in the next round, but the fight was stopped to save Lewis.

:lol:

[Flurry]

Hide looked very afraid at the stare down when the ref called them to give instructions. He avoided Klitschkos eyes and you could see he felt uncomfortable. During the fight he first went down from a shot that didn' t even seem to have connected properly, it looked as if he was looking for a way out of the fight, later he got hit alright and the KO was legit.

[Mr Butt]

vitali ko'd a cruiserweight who does not have a heavyweights chin big deal no great win

"If a big giant man wanted to beat me up, i'd be real scarred" - :good

Vitali Is British Slayer. He Beats you up and retires you:good

KlitschkooooooooooOOOOOoOOOOOoOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

no i think your find vitali is not undefeated against british fighters lennox cut your boys face to fuck :yep

[Flurry]

Theres a difference - Hide was defending champ, even though a blown up cruiserweight, but he was defending champ fighting for his tite in front of his home crowd. He gave a poor showing and displayed a dismal attitude

Vitali would destroy Haye quicker then he did Hide :deal

[Farmboxer]

Very true, and Hide had much more experience as a heavyweight.

[latineg]

No, the fight was stopped because Vitali's face was falling apart.

never before have i seen such a brutal face pulverizing

plus klit waz stunned badly when he went to his corner

the worst part is when he pauses for a split second after they call the fight in that split second vitali didnt know what to do as he waz relieved that the fight waz being called but he realized he couldnt show relief as it waz cowardly so he then goes on this big stupid ass tirade jumpin up and down like he waz robbed

farmboxer im sorry i had to type that above pretend you never read it and dont ever go and watch the fight again and look for it

just move onto the next post farmboxer trust me on this one

I am not sure this is fair.

My main man Lennox beat Vitali fair and square. There are no ifs, ands, or buts. Vitali put up a valiant effort, and got beat by an ATG heavy.

But a man's emotions in such a situation are complex. I am sure a part of him was relieved that the danger of loosing his eyesight was past. I am postive that another part of him was heartbroken that his dream of winning a world belt had just been called.

Things are what they are. Lennox beat Vitali, yes. Vitali put up a hell of a fight. Both guys have my unqualified respect.

excellent point it waznt cowardness then i stand corrected

it waz RELIEF

[JohnAkiBoa]

it waz RELIEF
Lennox is a fooking coward, typical British loser. He knew his Glass Jaw was just about get SHattered AGAIN against Vitali. Lennox got away from that fight like dog from the Barrier:yep

[Beeston Brawler]

A fucking coward who happens to be the best British fighter ever.... and a top 5 heavyweight of all time?

It's time Klit fans just let this one go, he was stopped on cuts fair and square at the end of the 6th round - and would have been knocked the fuck out in the 8th or 9th had the fight gone on.

[JohnAkiBoa]

No, Lennox would have been knocked the fuck out. Vitali was never knocked the fuck out like Lennox against JOURNEYMAN RAHMAN and stopped by one punch against McCall. Lennox was the chinny guy out there and got feaseled out the fight same as with rematch.:yep

Even George Foreman said rematch is must happen. Everyone else except LL nut huggers and Lennox himself agrees with this.:yep

Now, show some Respect to Baddest man on the Earth VK.:yep

[Beeston Brawler]

I've got every respect for Klitschko - great guy, very good fighter and sportsman.

However, you gotta be realistic here. Lewis was taking over the fight pretty conclusively in the 6th round.

Oh yes, George Foreman.... the same bloke who said Lewis was the best ever after Rahman was avenged?

Kneejerk?

[Farmboxer]

No, Lewis was not. Even Max Kellerman, a known Klitschko hater, said that Lewis was ready to go. He was sitting right behind Lewis' corner. Vitali would have knocked Lewis out in the very next round. Lewis was done for and that is a fact. Vitali tried like Hell to get Lewis back into the ring. He broke Lewis' nose, Lewis flopped down on his stool finished, but Lewis' referee, promoter, etc., Angelo Dundee said that Vitali was cheated out of the WBC belt that night and he was right.

[Pusnuts]

Vitali wasnt cheated, he may have had a bit more in the tank and possibly beaten Lewis in the next couple of rounds, but he was legitimately stopped on a massive cut, not just any cut but a huuge one lol. Credit to Vitali for showing massive heart (and to Lennox) and maybe he would have stayed upright longer than Lennox but fight was a legit stoppage, Lewis did the business.
Im big Lennox fan and Lennox got ouf of jail but who else has beaten Vitali up like that?
It was old and a bit fat Lewis vs prime Vitali also, be interested to see if Lewis would have have handled him any easier a few years before.

[sam1222]

Hide

[rapidfire]

Yep, this is about Herbie Hide, the only man, leading on the scorecards against Klitschko before the fight was stopped. BTW Lewis would´ve stopped Vitaly in the next round, that´s a fact.

[k2fan]

That's your opinion, it's not fact.

Lewis promised a rematch, and never honored his word. FACT.

Hide may have gotten the hometown advantage on the cards the 1st round, then he got KTFO'd by not even a flush shot and retired him.

[Flurry]

Im not stating he would have knocked lewis out the next round, the stoppage on cuts was legit and Vitali couldnt go on, the ref had to stop the fight at that particular moment. BUT with Vitali up on the cards, having wobbled Lewis in the 2nd and the unfortunate ending there should have been a rematch. From all we know and what Vitali recounted Lewis promised him a rematch. He didnt keep his word and that made him look bad with hindsight. He should have fought vitali again. He was lucky to win cos he won it on cuts.

[rapidfire]

That's your opinion, it's not fact.

I know, i just wrote it the same way as farmboxer is making his statements:

Vitali would have knocked Lewis out in the very next round. Lewis was done for and that is a fact.

[Mr Butt]

lewis won the fight end of vitali was going to get tko'd any way


vitali lost to an old lewis who was thinking of retiring anyway so was not focused and had not trained properly but still won that is why lewis is a great and vitali wont be

[Mr Butt]

and no i am not a klit hater both of klits do suffer from having no serious competition at the moment so they will always compare badly to some of the heavyweight champs of the past.

vitali spent time out injured which has hurt his legacy to a point but he had his chance to be the man that beat the man and lost to lewis.

wlad could be be so much more than he is if he just showed more aggression and was not so obviously scared of getting hit

[Cachibatches]

Lewis won the figth on cuts- fact!.

I like Vitaly, but lets tell it like it is.

Lewis did not owe Vitaly a rematch. He retired to puruse other things.

As for Hide, always liked him, but he always was blown up cruiser. He'll always have a WBO heavyweight belt to hang his hat on.

NO, Lewis owned rematch for Vitali, every loser Lewis nut huggers try to deny it.

Lewis Retired because he did NOT want to face Vitali again, FACT.

Emmanuel Steward said Lennox was on his own if they met again, Steward knew Lennox could not beat that man just like that like he beated those others, bums/shot fighters.

Even George Foreman Said Rematch is MUST HAPPEN.:yep

you have no FACTz fucknutz

let me explain a FACT to you

FACT = klitchko lost the fight on a cut

OPINION = KLITCHKO could have tore lewis's head clean off in the next round and stomped it right threw the canvas

FACT = your a moron that likez to state one fact and then throw in opinionz pretending there FACTz

OPINION = your probably too stupid to realize you do this

FACT = i will not be checking back for your repliez due to the fact that i consider you a dipshit

I am sorry i did not see this response before, but we must clear something up.

A fact is something that is objectively true- i.e. Lennox Lewis beat Vitaly Klitschko. Something is not a fact because you say it is. Lewis in no way owed a man a rematch that he had already beaten. Not does it matter what George Foreman said about it.

Lewis won the fight, and retired because his girlfirend, now wife, was having their child. He talked about retirement before hand. The man was a great champions with wins over great figthers, including Vitaly Klitscho. You make yourself look bad when you throw tantrums and calls us nuthuggers and the like. Expecially when I siad in my iniitial post that I liked VitKlit.

FACT-Vitaly ruined Hide's career!

FACT-Vitaly chased Lewis into exile!

Vitali did not chase Lennox into retirement- Lennox Beat him. And there is nothing gay about supporting a man who beat Bowe in the Olympics for a gold, and then went on to defeat every man he ever fought professionally including Tyson, Holyfield, Rahmen, Mcall, Ruddock, Grant, Tua, Golota, Briggs, Mercer, Morrison, and VITALI KLITSCHKO.

I like the brothers K and support them as minor greats, but Lennox Lewis resume is better than both of the brother's COMBINED.

Nearly all of those bums/shot fighters would be the best name on VITLAY's resume, chump.

[Buggo]

Lewis is easily the biggest name on VK's resume. In the biggest fight of VK's career, he came up short because he couldn’t get his face out of the way of Lewis’ punches. Ever since the fight, VK has smashed everyone in a completely piss poor division. Due to the quality of opponents faced by VK, he can never truly be considered in the same breath as Lewis, whose boxing achievements far out strip those of VK. :deal

Did Foreman give Moorer a rematch after beating him from 1 lucky punch after being knocked from pillar to post for 10 rounds?
