Nurt Seferi !!!
Predictions on the upcomming fight??

:happy:happy

A missmatch. Serifi has 0 chances. Hide by a middleround / late stoppage. He will beat the shit out of this journeyman.

[dwilson]

Hide by KO before the ring entrance music starts.

[bumdujour]

another clubfighter for herbie to pound on.

[shavers]

Hide needs to step up his opposition.
He is fighting to many bums

[BigEars]

Hide needs to step up his opposition.
He is fighting to many bums

Actually considering he has the WBC international title bauble he is fighting just the right amount of bums . He'll get himself a title shot without ever going in against a dangerous opponent .

[Toney]

It is nice to see that Artani and the other Albanians have not been able to fool us. They say that Serefi is great, but everyone knows that he is a bum!

[Artani]

It is nice to see that Artani and the other Albanians have not been able to fool us. They say that Serefi is great, but everyone knows that he is a bum!

Of course Toney. You dont know albanians. We are very strong like people in the world. I know that Hide is better fighter than Seferi but Seferi have lion heart. The fighters like Seferi, Muriqi, Dobroschi tells how hard we are. I will complane only for Luan Krasniqi who have skills and everythink to be champion but in the last second he dident show himself that he is albanian.

Remember how Muriqi gets three knock down and gets up and wins match.
Seferi with two operations gets in the ring with Marco Huck, also he show great fights with Bidenko, Beckhatov, and the others.

Hide can win but not with stopage. I will contact Nuri Seferi tomorow and will bring you answer about this fight. Seferi and Hide knows each others very well because they sparring many times. Nice fight, lets happen.....

Respect for Nuri Seferi

[Odo]

Seferi is a clubfighter,a tough one,but he is no match for Hide.

The Albanian has a good chin.Nevertheless,he will be out of his shoes against the hard punching African. Hide will probably stop him within the distance.
IMO Hide's promoter should look for bigger fish to catch and eat.
Hide has shown in his last few fights that he is still able to beat tough journeymen and decent clubfighters.No need to fight another one IMO.

[jont]

Herbie is staying busy and this is great for an older fighter.. hope that eventually he will step up but if he can not get good fights than maybe this is his only choice... lets face it.. which fighters really ever talk about fighting Herbie? he is a high risk fight for lots of cruisers....

[dwilson]

Albanians are usually pretty poor fighters. No heart.

[Artani]

Albanians are usually pretty poor fighters. No heart.

Did you meet any time any albanians ...

are you suggesting that albanians are tougher than other fighters???? tougher fighters than mexicans??? or argentinians???:lol:

[dwilson]

Did you meet any time any albanians ...



Sorry I thought we were generalizing large groups of people. You went one way and I went the other. Maybe in reality Albanians are somewhere in the middle, some are tough and some are not. Unfortunetly some are Juan Krasniqui.

[Toney]

Of course Toney. You dont know albanians. We are very strong like people in the world. I know that Hide is better fighter than Seferi but Seferi have lion heart. The fighters like Seferi, Muriqi, Dobroschi tells how hard we are.

Is´t at least "Kosovo Kid" Muriqi from Kosovo and not Albania? I actually happend to know one family from Kosovo and it is very important to them that people know that they are not Albanians, they are Kosovon´s (from Kosovo).

[Artani]

Is´t at least "Kosovo Kid" Muriqi from Kosovo and not Albania? I actually happend to know one family from Kosovo and it is very important to them that people know that they are not Albanians, they are Kosovon´s (from Kosovo).

My friend, I `m albanian from Kosovo. I born in the capital of Kosova (Prishtina) and albanians now have two states like Germans and Austrians.

Muriqi is from Kosovo. he went in the USA with 13 years but you can see him in the fights that he fighting with albanian flag. I dont know did he will fight in the future with two flags or only albanians but we are one.

[Artani]

My team mate of albanianboxing.com talks with Nuri Seferi and he is going to KO Herbie Hide in the Istanbull. He promice that he will do for new state in the world Kosova.
Lets see what will happen .....

[Kampioni]

I hope Nuri does KO, i know he has a hard shot.
i really want to see an upset !

Seferi has done lots of training with Arslan before as well.

[Artani]

Yeah mate, Seferi will train again with Arslan and will be ready for Hide. In the Istanbull will travell also Luan Krasniqi who will suport him.

[Artani]

FOX TV (Turk Sat) and DSF (Astra Sat) will show fight live at 4 July 2008.

[Toney]

Okey, thanks! :good

Kind of weird that the Kosovons I know thinks that it is important that people doesn´t think that they are Albanians.

[boxexpert]

i would pick for seferi anyway. he has previously sparred with hide and didnt had any problems. my predictions is seferi wins by KO in the middle rounds.

hide is an unfair and dirty fighter and deserves to get beat up,also he has a weak chin. seferi will knock him out

[jamel]

hide is an unfair and dirty fighter and deserves to get beat up,also he has a weak chin. seferi will knock him out Seferi is probably (judging by his record) one of Hide's stiffest tests at cruiserweight but I don't see him having a problem at all. Hide is the bigger man, quicker, and defensively still has superior reflexes. He has impressed me in his last two showings proving that he carries a serious power threat for anyone who wants to engage, and can also outbox you over the full 12 rounds. I must admit I was unsure of his stamina but this was cleared up last time out and he took no stupid chances. I think mentally he has got it together and will win this fight with ease. I do think Seferi may have one or two moments, but once Hide finds his range I believe Seferi will be handed only his second KO loss. Seferi won two fairly close decisions over journeyman Jalusic which suggests a lack of boxing ability as these fights should have been won much easier.

[Farmboxer]

Hide wants Haye.

[Toney]

Hide wants Haye.
Sexually?

[boxexpert]

seferi has had tougher opponents before and lost very,very close. hide is clearly the technically better and faster boxer; but seferi has more punch,power and the better chin. we shall see,i still pick seferi to win

[Kampioni]

lets just hope Seferi delivers !

[hide]

hides going to ko this bum. write that down

[BigEars]

Your saying Seferi hits harder than Herbie Hide ?

[Claypole]

hides going to ko this bum. write that downSo Herbie Hide is still fighting bums after all these years? I suppose there's always the chance that one of these bum will connect with something reasonable and put us all out of our misery.

[hide]

seferi has had tougher opponents before and lost very,very close. hide is clearly the technically better and faster boxer; but seferi has more punch,power and the better chin. we shall see,i still pick seferi to win


you fucking stupid idiot you know absoultely nothing about boxing your saying this bum hits harder than herbie? you deluded fool

you joke

[boxexpert]

fuck you too.

seferi does hit harder than hide, definitely. it wouldnt surprise me if he would (hopefully) knock out this arrogant idiot.

in their sparring hide looked like a frightened schoolboy after he got hit by seferis hooks.

whats your record, you champ?

[BigEars]

I suppose Seferi has the ability to be a World champion aswell then ya ?

[boxexpert]

no,i dont think so. he has already the GBU-belt,but thats just a small one.

im just sayin that he is the harder puncher than hide,that doesnt mean that he is the better boxer... but again, that fight could turn out into a big surprise

[jamel]

no,i dont think so. he has already the GBU-belt,but thats just a small one.

im just sayin that he is the harder puncher than hide,that doesnt mean that he is the better boxer... but again, that fight could turn out into a big surprise Has Hide sparred with Seferi then ? If so this gives Hide a further advantage knowing what he is dealing with. To be honest in his last fight he had no idea what to expect and frankly looked surprised at his opponents style. This time around there will be no such problems. Hides knows well in advance who he faces and will be better prepared. I expect nothing short of a KO win from Hide. As for power, well you only have to look at their records to see who has more power, Hide has 41 KO wins in 47 fights = 87% Seferi has 15 KO wins in 26 fights = 57%, There you have it 30% advantage to Hide.

[boxexpert]

yes,they have sparred together about 3 months ago and hide took some beating. i can tell because i saw the video.

sparring is one thing,fighting another. hide is already 36 and 10 years longer in the business than seferi. comparing the records doesnt say too much.

hide doesnt have a good chin,either. we have seen a few times before what happens if he gets hit. therefore i give seferi a credit,when he can deliver that punch which KO`s hide.

really looking forward to that fight

[boxexpert]

in his last fight against a journeyman hide just won by UD.

[BigEars]

in his last fight against a journeyman hide just won by UD.

Serferi last two fights were against an even worse journeyman and he failed to stop him twice .

Saying Seferi punches harder than Hide is like saying Jermain Taylor punches harder than Julian Jackson did , it simply isn't the truth .

[boxexpert]

you are talking about josip jalusic. jalusic isnt that bad just because he has a negative record. as an amateur he was three times at the world championships and he makes good money being a sparringpartner at universum box promotions. he has an awkward style and is hard to hit.

have you seen the fight against former WBC champ tomasz adamek? that was a very close one.

but you do agree that hide has a weak chin?

[BigEars]

but you do agree that hide has a weak chin?

Sure, everyone does, it's made of glass .
But it's not easy to catch hide with a decent punch , and he possess serious power in both hands thus he's a dangerous opponent for any Cruiserweight .

[jamel]

in his last fight against a journeyman hide just won by UD.

You can hardly call a guy who is 12-2 a journeyman. He was there to win and indeed tried to KO Hide in the first couple of rounds. He was very slick and difficult to pin down and indeed was the more aggressive in the first round. Once Hide found his range however his opponent was then floored in the fourth and wanting no part of Hides right hand again he went on his bike for the rest of the fight. This guy had never been KO'd and had beaten Gary Gomez and Zack Page arguably two better fighters than Jossip Jalusic.

Also thus far Hides only Losses are to guys physically larger than himself and of his four losses one was stopped on a cut after Rd3 whilst Hide had won all 3 rounds comfortably, in USA the fight would have been a NC.

The loss to Chingangu was when he was caught completely unawares after the referee had separated them, He rectified this by KOing him in Rd1 in the rematch. So really the only true losses were against Vitali and Bowe, which cannot be faulted as these are two of the best Heavyweight fighters of their respective eras. Bowe himself stated he had never been hit so hard before as by Herbie Hide !

See on youtube Hide v Mircea Telecan, Hide hits so hard even the breeze of a punch whizzing by can knock you over.

[BigEars]

Also thus far Hides only Losses are to guys physically larger than himself and of his four losses one was stopped on a cut after Rd3 whilst Hide had won all 3 rounds comfortably, in USA the fight would have gone to the cards and would have been WTD3 for Hide or NC.
.

In the US that would be a NC actually , there needs to be 4 completed rounds for it to go to the cards .

[jamel]

In the US that would be a NC actually , there needs to be 4 completed rounds for it to go to the cards . Ok i have edited my post now. I did put or NC at the end as I was not sure, on youtube there is an interview after this fight and the commentators suggested that sometimes they go to the cards. I also thought after 4 rounds too but then thought maybe the commentators knew something I didn't. Cheers Big Ears for clearing that up.

[boxexpert]

well,i agree with that. lets see then how hide deals when nuri hits him a couple of times.

seferi also has a very solid defense,it is hard to hit him,also he has a very good chin. against bakhtov (who is heavyweight) popov and huck he showed that he can take some punch.

this is seferis biggest fight so far and he will do everything to win it.after 12 rounds we will know more.

[Boxalb.com]

We all know what happens when you are not a boxer of a big promoter and you fight in places like Russia and Germany. Nuri Seferi lost only in these cases and still in any of these matches he made a very good impression. Herbie Hide is an old man who lately used to fight “nobody’s” and he has nothing to give anymore in the ring. Beating fighters like Mircea Telecian doesn’t make him better than Seferi.

[Ivo]

Hide should step up his level of competition. I do not know wht Oner does not match him with someone better. The last time Oner matched Airich, a fighter with so little expirience with Danny Williams but Hide who has huge expirience with some unknown fighters.

[Boxalb.com]

you stole the HBO design for your site?
We thought it is a god design. We even have written in our presentation that the sites design is based on the design of HBO.... :good everybody knows this so you didn't say anything new

[Kampioni]

Im countin on seferi to deliver that punch that will floor hide.
Boxalb, i love your site by the way i use it all the time to check up on the latest news on albanian boxing.. keep it up my man !
and the design is great, so what if its from HBO, its real easy and efficient. :thumbsup

[Boxalb.com]

Nuri "Albanian Tyson" Seferi in an interview for Boxalb.com said that his bout against Herbie Hide on July 4 for the WBC International cruiserweight title will be a "win or die" bout for him. Seferi is sparring with a group of boxers among them is also Petar Majstorovic who is a well known Swiss kickboxing champion. Except that WBC cruiserweight champion Firat Arslan and former contender Luan Krasniqi and their trainers are helping out the “Albanian Tyson” for the biggest bout of his career.

He looks so tired. Imagine how he’s going to look after 5 rounds with “Albanian Tyson”. For all those who don’t know Nuri Seferi and Herbie Hide had a sparing match when Hide was still part of Universum. The sparing bout was supposed to last 6 rounds, but after the fourth round Hide and his trainer decided to stop the fight. You ask what the reason? The guy was receiving too many punches from Seferi. And imagine in those days he wasn’t in his best shape because he had an chirurgical intervention some weeks ago.

I know that many people talks bad about him because they didn’t see him fight. But when they see him they will change their mind. I’m sure that Turkish fans are going to support him.

oh my days these is comical.

we adriatic peoples punch hard and have tough chin, we ko weak fighters. we have fast hands and are a very cool more betterer people than you...but we be nice. one day we will dominate ranks. this is just another step forward.

dont listen to the non believers. hide look formidably tired (even though he is training) he will lose to unbatable....well he had the plague six times at least in his career and shows it does. but apart form that trip bad step he up and hide hit face.

Hide wants Haye, but Haye will not fight him.

I don’t think Hide is better than Bidenko or Huck. Everybody who have seen Seferi fight these guys knows that Hide will be an easy work for him.

[BigEars]

Hide wants Haye, but Haye will not fight him.

Hell Buster Keaton probably wants a shot at Haye but that fight wouldn't make sense either . Haye has no need for Hide(at least not as things stand currently) .

[jamel]

OK Hide did not KO Seferi but as I said he would win easily and he did.

[jamel]

seferi has had tougher opponents before and lost very,very close. hide is clearly the technically better and faster boxer; but seferi has more punch,power and the better chin. we shall see,i still pick seferi to win As I said Hide won easily not by KO but apparently seferi was never kO'd before so thats fine.

[Words]

So, what does this mean for Hide's much vaunted power at cruiserweight?

I didn't see this fight but Herbie Hide without his power isn't going anywhere fast.

[unitas]

hide chin is made of pure glass. a knockout waiting to happen.

seferi sucks, he simply has no boxing talent. he is a tough guy, dont get me wrong, but he has zero skills.

the man threw like 4 punches a round. he is a good sparring partner/tuneup opponent for the more serious talents who need rounds.

he would make a good opponent for alexeev, who needs to get some rounds under him.

[Kampioni]

I'm disappointed in Seferi i thought he would do better.

So, what does this mean for Hide's much vaunted power at cruiserweight?

I didn't see this fight but Herbie Hide without his power isn't going anywhere fast.
It sounds like Herbie boxed very conservatively after that KD in the first, never really sat down on his shots (or even all that much on his jab apparently). Started landing a bit harder in the last couple rounds but still not much.

So I wouldn't be writing off his power yet.
His chin, sure, join the queue...

[Serenata]

Hide has not much left to show. On my scorecards he lost a close decision.

@Hide: Calling every one an idiot won´t chance the reality that Herbie is over the hill... ;)

[Axe]

Congrats to Herbie on the win.

[Farmboxer]

Hide can box.

[Rudolph]

i told you so

it was far from easy if you watched the fight. Hide also got knocked down early. And he kept eating Seferi's power shots all night while all he landed was mostly jabs. The scorecards are a little off. Hide was actually lucky to win this one. I expected a better performance from Herbie (and I was rooting for him too, and it was the first time I saw this turkish kid Seferi - or is it Albanian?)

[Artani]

Seferi is albanian, did you saw the flag after the fight. I agree with your coment about fight. My opinion is that Seferi lost for one or two points but not like judges gives to him .

[Artani]

Seferi show to everybody how strong is he. He had injury on left leg and show brilant fight. Seferi piss off Hide, he give him two knock down who refere count only that in first round, in the second round Hide was grooge again when Seferi punch him hard and provocate him with hand "come" on and Hide coudent to walk but he hold Seferi. It was mistake by Seferi because he should punch once again and Hide will be quite. Hide was very dirty in the fight like always and refere help him a lot, because he fights in Turkey. He soupose to get warning two or three time about low blow and punching behind in the head but refere let him to fight dirty.

Any way Seferi show good fight and show to Hide that he is not easy to wins because when he was in the sparring to Arena Box Promotion last year the Mr.Hide complain to Oner "Why you bring me this small guy". Maybe he is small but Mr. Hide but you get two knock downs by this small guy and you will not win if you will not fight in the Turkey.

Seferi dont have trainer and manager but have heart. Congratilation to Seferi for tough fight.

[Vantage_West]

well herbie's power is based on a very aggresive under your nose combinations.

he is now a top 30 cruiser. and has shown he can deal with pressure pretty well. good win for hide he has outboxed a with a iron chin...no complaints with that.

[Boxalb.com]

I don't care what Hide has to say. Everybody can watch the fight on [Only registered and activated users can see links] and than judge for himself who won the fight.
Seferi didn't gave his best on this match, but still Hide didn't deserve to win.... we all know he is a Arena boxer and in Turkey it is imposible to win against the boxers of Ahmet Oener. Did you see what happened after the match Sinan Sam vs Vidoz...... The italian won all 12 rounds, but this is Europe.....

[Kampioni]

Thanks for the video Boxalb !
hopefully seferi doesn't quit on his dreams and continue to fight for another titleshot.


I cant stop lookin at seferi K.O Hide aahah what a good punch. Hide you should go see that for yourself
you would probably cryhahah

[boxexpert]

HIDE,you moron

that fight was rip off:
seferi knocked him after 30 sec the first time already down,but they didnt score the knockdown. seferi also missed to finish the fight in the 2nd for which he has to blame himself to miss such a great opportunity. for the rest of the fight,hide just did hide-and runned away scared. one could see the fear in his eyes.

the first five rounds i gave to seferi,the sixth until the eleventh for hide.

the twelfth round for seferi again.

with the knockdown which gives seferi the score 10:8 he should have won by UD, 115:114

since hide is under contract with arena,they gave the win to him which is acceptable. but thats boxing

[kenmore]

he is now a top 30 cruiser. and has shown he can deal with pressure pretty well. good win for hide he has outboxed a with a iron chin...no complaints with that.

Hide is rated higher than just the top 30. The WBC and WBO rate him 4th worldwide, and the WBA rates him 14th. Fightnews.com, which has reasonably unbiased ratings, places Herbie at 10th in the world.

It sounds like Hide struggled with Seferi, which doesn't look good. Even so, I'm hoping that Hide wins a world title. It would be nice to see him do good after years of struggling with monsters like Bowe and Klitschko in the heavyweight division.

[The Kurgan]

Is´t at least "Kosovo Kid" Muriqi from Kosovo and not Albania? I actually happend to know one family from Kosovo and it is very important to them that people know that they are not Albanians, they are Kosovon´s (from Kosovo).

That's just propoganda to claim that Kosovo isn't just north Albania. Kosovars? Kosovans? Bullshit, they're Albanians. I can just about hear "Macedonian, not Bulgarian" without laughing my ass off, but Kosovans? No way.

Anyway, good on the "Albanian Tyson" for going the distance. This, coupled with his GBU Cruiserweight title reign (albeit the interim GBU title) assures him a place in Albanian boxing history.

(I'd just like to add that I'm not a Serb and I fully support the Kosovans in their struggle for national freedom. Kosovo is in fact a wonderful country and in no way is just a bit of Serbia inhabited by Albanians. In fact, Kosovo is a bright new example of a new kind of peaceful and enlightened Euro-Muslim that has in no way been what Albanians have been like for ages but got no credit for it. No, Kosovo is a fine addition to the ever-growing familiy of European states and I welcome them as an independant state within Western Europe just like I welcomed East Germany in 1990.)

[The Kurgan]

Seferi is albanian, did you saw the flag after the fight. I agree with your coment about fight. My opinion is that Seferi lost for one or two points but not like judges gives to him .

I actually like Seferi, since he's broken the trend set by Richel "The Dutch Sonny Liston" Hersisia of mainland European boxers with heavyweight champion names. They usually suck, but Seferi clearly has (a) a good chin, (b) heart and (c) a good sense of humour for putting up with the GBU.

[Boxalb.com]

Nuri Seferi boxed after the third roud of the match against Herbie Hide having his left hand injured. It was his left that knocked down Hide after 15 seconds of the first round and hit him badly again later in the same round, as in the second one.
He had problems with this same injury several times. His first loss was because he was injured against Konstantin Ochrej. Also before the match against Marco Huck he also was unable to train for a long time because of the same injury.
Now everybody knows why Seferi didn't give his best on this bout. You saw him how he fought the first two rounds..... after the 5th or 6th round he didn't atack Hide because he felt pain.
You can watch the fight and see that Hide was not agresive in those round. He was just scoring some easy jabbs

[Boxalb.com]

THIS IS HOW THE FIGHT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SCORED BY A NORMAL JUDGE

ROUND 1
Seferi with a left hook after just 15 seconds knock down Hide. Another strong left hook in the middle of the round and Hide very close to going down again. Hide didn’t do anything in this round except 5 landed jabs.
Seferi won clearly the round 10-8

ROUND 2
1 min. 04 seconds before the bell Seferi punches again with a strong left hook. Enough to win the second round where Hide didn’t do absolutely nothing (as usually tried some jabs and only few of them landed)
Seferi won the round 10-9

ROUND 3
Another poor round. Hide throws only few light jabs. Seferi makes a good combination with some good punches enough to win the round. Hide inexistent in this round.
