2 lines before this fight Bowe talking about Hide's nickname the Dancing Destroyer and Bowe said "He's gonna dance but then he's gonna get destroyed". And Joe Louis line "You can run but you can't hide" got changed to "You can Herbie but you can't Hide".
Bowe said Hide was the hardest puncher he ever faced. He also said that Hide had him out on his feet at one point in the fight and when that happened he felt a little desperate and decided he had to let loose and go for the KO.
Super brave, if hed of given it and said ive got 4 rounds and just took the risk and emptied the gas tank i recon hed have won, Id like to see more of herbie interviews, what hes doing now he was a tuff SOB, would have had a chance against holyfield, and smaller heavyweights, hes got a good life story if ups and downs would have like to heard it in his own words
Fact : Herbie Hide was really a Cruiserweight...he put weights in his pockets at weigh ins to make Heavyweight.In those days it was light Heavyweight.He later became a coke head and went to Prison. Riddick Bowe is a family man and retiredfrom Boxing at aged 29 .His best friend is Evander Holyfeild.They fought each other 3 times in a trilogy.Incuding the fan man fight. He slurs his speech now.
It's shameful that politics and money got in the way of two of the best heavyweight boxers in the World during the 1990s era not to have ever been able to fight one another for the World Championship!
I so remember that so so very well. Hide kinda jus fell apart out of the blue but not before he walloped BDB with some hurtful snapping punches that can STILL be heard decades later
When Hide went down initially in the 3rd this was surely psychological? He simply seemed to fall apart. A shame Hide was a good fighter and boxed lovely at times.
If Hide had fought only in the cruiser weight division he would have been undefeated or retired with one loss instead of four. He just got tired in this one .
Survive more than five rounds against Big puncher like Ridick Bowe is not easy That boy boxed beautiful He showed tremendous endurance Great fight 👊🇹🇿🇬🇧🇺🇸
That's an interesting take, and I don't disagree. I just find it interesting how some fighters excelled as medium to smallish heavyweights, while others did not. Evander Holyfield comes to mind.
He wasn’t too small for heavyweight division. Tyson,Holyfield,Uysk,Wilder were in his same weight range and were champs his chin wasn’t good for that division
If Herbie Hide had stayed at cruiserweught he could have been a great but he was foolish enough to continually fight heavyweights - he simply didn’t it hard enough for that. 😐
@@greenfields1221 Yes they did. McCall was a mandatory in the contract that Bowe and Lewis signed. Same thing when Bowe and Mercer signed and Jesse Ferguson was a tune-up in their contract. You can literally look it up easily and it's on rummy's corner. Both the British and US commentary even said this at the end of the McCall fight. Jim Lampley said there goes the Bowe fight in March. What more proof do you need a link?
Excepted Holyfield, Bowe didn't beat any notable (and in his prime) fighter, and get his ass kicked twice by Golota. Would have been destroyed by Lewis.
@@dantaylor7344 i don't think so He dodged tyson when tyson has nothing to do . If the games were in the late eighties or early nineties, we would have seen Lewis lying on the ground as McCall dropped him, and McCall was much weaker than Tyson at the time. Conclusion Boyie had a meeting against Lewis in the Olympics before professionalism and despite losing points, his performance was much stronger than Lewis.
@@dantaylor7344 Bowe didn’t duck Tyson, they didn’t fight because neither of them wanted the fight made since they grew up together and were friends. Bowe also beat Holyfield twice which was something Tyson couldn’t do once.
@@everettsager4654 Hide's overall record is vastly inferior to Bowe's. With the exception of a past it Tucker and a flash in the pan Bentt, Hide doesn't have many big wins.

That's funny😅
Hide showed loads of bottle staying in there so long against a much bigger elite heavyweight like Bowe.
Weird because he liked picking on smaller guys on his nights out... bit of a twat tbh
Bowe said Hide was the hardest puncher he ever faced. He also said that Hide had him out on his feet at one point in the fight and when that happened he felt a little desperate and decided he had to let loose and go for the KO.
He didnt want to taste the power of Lennox Lewis
@Anthony Mcken Hide hit harder than Holyfield even though Holyfield was a way better boxer
Wot a nice compliment 🥊👍
@@brocksimmons345
Lennox didn't want Bowe after McCall
14:17 you mean this punch riddick seemed to flip out here
Fight just shows my issue with Bowe.. He always seemed to not take some guys seriously enough
This fight is just like Ali vs Bob Foster. A fighter who was faster but simply couldn’t take the punches from the heavier man
I think the spectator who threw the towel in may have been the only rational person at the fight that night.
Super brave, if hed of given it and said ive got 4 rounds and just took the risk and emptied the gas tank i recon hed have won,
Id like to see more of herbie interviews, what hes doing now he was a tuff SOB, would have had a chance against holyfield, and smaller heavyweights, hes got a good life story if ups and downs would have like to heard it in his own words
Lmao that’s easier said than done
looks like mental break for Hide with all this falls and slips.
Exactly. Did Bowe even land a solid power shot? Lol Herbie was slipping and sliding and herbie hiding all over the place.
Diffentt 2 stone ( 12 Kilogram ) almost like Welterweight vs Heavy 6 Classes.
True fact. Hide use to have weights in his pockets to make 200lbs. There was more than a 2 stone difference here
He's the second coming of ali- Barry Hearn on Hide
If only Hide had been a natural heavyweight, he would have been unbeatable.
LOL,...right

Hide looked tiny compared to Bowe
Yeah, he was only 214
Hide had the WBO belt? Unreal. I'll have to research my history of how these belts changed hands back in the day.
Herbie Hide knocked out Michael Bentt for the title. Bent had knocked out Tommy Morrison for the vacant title.
Bowe inadvertently clubbed hide behind the head at 17:14 It's hard to recover from a shot like that.
*FINALLY* somebody else who saw that shot ! ✅
Bizarre fight. All hide first two rounds than epic mental collapse in the 3rd.
He simply wasn’t big enough to take the shots from a heavyweight, no disgrace in that - it’s just reality…
Riddick Bowe was one of the GOAT's, yo!
When Hide went down initially in the 3rd this was surely psychological? He simply seemed to fall apart. A shame Hide was a good fighter and boxed lovely at times.
He had zero boxing skills what so ever, Americans have always been light years ahead of the Brits and I'm English. Go back to sleep!
No, he got caught on the back of the head with a right hand from a full blown heavyweight.
@@stephenrobson5254 more total and utter bullshit
No skills whatsoever? the man is 210 pounds most of his fights and knocked out 99 percent of his first 30 fights against men averaging around 230
If Hide had fought only in the cruiser weight division he would have been undefeated or retired with one loss instead of four.
He just got tired in this one .
A good big one beats a good small one.
Riddick said that this was the hardest puncher he ever faced.
I think he was being kind.
Survive more than five rounds against Big puncher like Ridick Bowe is not easy
That boy boxed beautiful
He showed tremendous endurance
Great fight
👊🇹🇿🇬🇧🇺🇸
He wasn’t a HW, but money talks doesn’t it, shame cause he would’ve been almost unbeatable at lower weight class!
The Lennox Lewis dodger
did the ref forget there was a 3 knock down rule or something lol?
This fight very look alike Ugonoh vs Breazeale
Hide was to big for cruiser weight and to small for heavy weight
This was before they raised the Cruiserweight limit to 200 lbs. If Hide had come along 10 years later, he would have had a proper division.
@@marlock6573 he would have made a lot of money and a lot of Fame and I think he would have beat usyk

@@johnulmerRacing michael spinks also

My mate use to train Hide as an amateur at Norwich lads club .
Hide was a twat whenever he went out in Norwich
Bowe said Hide was the hardest puncher he faced, 2nd was Holyfield
Hide should of fought at cruiserweight.he would of dominated for years
If Herbie Hide had stayed at cruiserweught he could have been a great but he was foolish enough to continually fight heavyweights - he simply didn’t it hard enough for that. 😐
Cheeky p…. Headbutts him and then wants to touch gloves.
Hide was a brave man
Bowe leading 38-34 going into the 5th. Consecutive 10-7 rounds. Crazy.
Of course yanky judging, even when their man is losing they somehow make sure they win, Ask Lennox, Fury, Naz all stitched up.
@@nigelbenn4642 Lennox never lost a decision. Neither did Tyson Fury.
@@SKa-tt9nm Er excuse me? HOLYFIELD NEVER DRAW WITH LEWIS HE CLEARLY LOST!!!! FURY CLEARLY BEAT WILDER FIRST TIME ROUND!!
Excellent Bowe!
I'm sure Bowe loved fighting small guys. He looked extra good clubbing on shrimps.
Bowe vs Lewis in a exhibition match. Like Tyson Vs Jones Jr.
Bowe would struggle to tie his own shoe laces these days.
Herbie behaved like a coward once Bowe started to hit. Herbie was trying to get out of the ring.
BULLshit
Hide banged his head on bowes face and went down.
hide did well for 2.5 rounds
21:58 how is that a Knock down? Boxing allows throwing now?
Bowe choosing the smaller, lighter man instead of Lennox. I have to say Bowe's technique was an shambles.
yea rite here bowe was not dedicated
Bowe was one of the most skilled big men in the history of boxing.
He did sign to Lennox but Lewis lost to his mandatory McCall derailing the fight.
@@greenfields1221 Tyson didn't want any part of Bowe. Lewis and Bowe signed the following year when scheduled. But Lewis lost to his mandatory McCall.

First ko was dubious
Herbie should have hidden.
He's just laying down..
He wasn't even hit smh
Up lutou muito
Mis match ... 2 stone in weight and goodness know what in height! Brave from Hide ✅
Roddick legend
Excepted Holyfield, Bowe didn't beat any notable (and in his prime) fighter, and get his ass kicked twice by Golota. Would have been destroyed by Lewis.
@ Xavier richard.....he beat the shit out of Herbie hide.
that holyfield trilogy damaged bow a lot. he was a shadow of himself against golota and thats why he retired.
I like Bowe but your right . Lennox would have beat him for sure .
@Robert Salley Well, I don't know what "better" means : my opinion, whatever, is that Golta had the Bowe's number.
Lewis different class. Would have destroyed bowe. Thats why he ducked him. Bruno vs hide would have been interesting.
Hebie's Hiding
Два невдахи.Кличко побив Хайда за два раунди.А Льюис бив Боу ще на олімпіаді.
Bowe vs Lewis.
These commentators are laughable
The head butt was obvious
They were so desperate for Hide to win
"oh, he's got him!!"...LOFL.
Hide won first round
Hide is more little for Bowe
herbie hide not Heavyweight!!
Riddick has a power
Not really, Lewis would have KOd Bowe, he dodged Tyson and was an average boxer at best. Punch drunk now.
@@dantaylor7344 i don't think so

Hide was crap
