    Skelton is generally fairly durable, though less so now than he used to be. He might see the second round.

    Skelton is durable against sloppier fighters. I expect a sharper fighter like Pricey to wrap it up within 3. If Skelton stands off, he will pay. His best bet is full speed ahead so that Pricey doesn't line him up. He seems to have unbelievable power.

    I'm American but Price has definitely impressed me this year. But he really does need to get some longer fights under his belt or he'll be at a disadvantage when he steps up to the elite level. And you never want a guy to fall in love with or rely on his power.

    I think fights with a tough survivor like Jason Estrada, Shane Cameron, Ustinov, Stiverne, or McCall would force Price to go a few rounds to better show what tools the guy has.

    I think this goes the 12 rounds. vs. Skelton.

    People can say what they like about Skelton, Price definitely needs pushing and a 12 round boring slug. It will do him the world of good and prepare him for tougher fights. We know Price is good, but it still seems a bit of a gray area, unknown, we can't learn anything from the last fight for instance. But if either fighter, Price OR Fury, overlook the next fight, looking towards a domestic mega fight between the two, the dream may come tumbling down.

    Seen it happen time and time again.

    Skelton is great at mauling, but considering how Pulev handled him.

    Skelton should last longer than Harrison but I don't see it going past four rounds. So long as he's fighting regularly it's not really an issue. With his new TV contract Frank will want to pack the fights in.

    Skelton is shot to bits, Price will massacre him.

    You don't get paid for overtime, but TBH this is a awful fight. I just hope Skelton steams him and gets inside range and stays for as long as he can out of way of danger.

    The thing is..when he gets inside there will be a brutal uppercut waiting for him, this isn't going to end well for Skelton, he's got balls to take the fight at his age though.

    It ain't seeing round 3. Furys on a different channel and Chisora can't have 5 losses in 6 fights. If Price wants to keep the Lonsdale belt who else can he fight?

    its bull**** imo, send him over to america so he can expose some of these fake saviors of the heavyweight scene, the UK would recognise him as an overnight sensation if he sparked guys like deontay wilder, seth mitchell, Amir Mansour and many more of these so called G's of boxing the dickheads in the general forum keeping on going on about.
