Bowe Leaves Herbie With No Place To Hide, Claims Wbo Heavyweight Title

Riddick Bowe knocked down Herbie Hide seven times and stopped him in the sixth round to win the WBO heavyweight boxing title Saturday night at the MGM Garden.

Hide battled back after the first six knockdowns, but went down for the seventh time from a left-right to the body and left-right to the head at 2:25 of Round 6.

The best Hide could do was to get to one knee as referee Richard Steele counted him out.
