Opinions on Skelton vs Sprott fight?

[ThePlugInBabies]

skelton is an animal, and will maul sprott and tko him.

[Charles187]

Is anyone else just plain bored of this HW merry go round? Cant we throw someone else in the mix like Vichis or samil sam? Cant see them getting a title shot but at the moment theyre all just treading water.

Is this on the Beeb or ITV, or will it be Sky?

Itv

[Famous-Fights]

perfect. Thanks Charles.

I don't know how ****** can claim this bout as an elimination for a title shot. Who is going to pay PPV to watch Skelton vs Klitschko? Not me.

If you put the positive atributes of Sprott, Skelton, Audley and Danny, you may just have a fighter good enough to compete with... a 44 year old Holyfield!

As for the result I see a re-run of their first fight, Skelton will just be too strong and gain a late stoppage win.

The thing which does concern me about Skelton is that he hasn't fought for over a year. There's going to be some not inconsiderable ring rust, especially at his age.

I think Skelton is too durable and solid to get iced cold by a big hook as Audley did, but I could see Sprott making the early running. The longer it goes on, the more it favours Skelton generally.

Skelton becasue he is the bigger man....

None of these jokers can handle Haye though.

And if haye becomes linear cuiserweight champion and then moves up to heavyweight, I would be surprised if he wastes his time on any of them, except maybe a shot Williams, because he still has something of a name. But if Fraudley made mincemeat out of his face, I wold hate to see what AHye would do to it.

well thing with williams he is maybe the most inconsistent boxer of all time and i belive that with few people to test it.


he actaully has wieght fluctuations...he was 260 odd pounds one fight 218 the other then goes up and down and up and down...niether giving him an overall advantage.

he has alot of stamina some fights and others he puffs out easy.

he is a puncher with a huge right hyand and left hook...sometimes it doesnt graze a mans face.

jab was amazing it got him openings and was a flicker jab from the waste turned side on.....now he doesnt throw it at all....and then did and then didnt.

somtimes he has SO much heart like the potter fight when he dislocates his shoulder and carries on to knock the man out. other times he just seems to say **** it and take a back step.

it frustrats the hell out of me. he is a decent world contention class fighter with all the tools. but he wins a round easy then next round gets mercilessly beaten.

real shame cause at this wieght i think he could do soome real damage to the brit and euro stage

I was most displeased when Sprott laned a lucky punch on Harrison.

Harrison's fault for slowing down In the 2nd round though after positive 1st round.

As much as I dont like Fraudley...it was one of the luckiest punches I have seen.

he was taking a pasting, put his head down, shut his eyes, swung and connected right on the button....BANG.....Lights out

Good on sprott, he probably deserved some luck after toiling away in Europe and Britain

[achillesthegreat]

Sprotts punch had a Tarverism about it. Audleys game was flawed and in spurts he was getting outworked.

Can't see this one being a classic, but it's Skelton on points for me.
