Price vs Skelton Pushed Forward

Earlier the better really. He hardly broke sweat vs Audley so a quick turnaround is good.

 

Isnt that the same night as Freddy? Both shows are supposed to be on Boxnation?

 

That weekend is going to cause huge Price/Fury hype... Clever ploy

 

Should put freddy on the price undercard.

 

Not a bad idea. I just hope there are no slip ups and Price wins well.

 

Skelton should pose a decent threat. I don't rate him highly but he offers something different and he should have some success about Price, so hopefully it'll answer a few questions about Price's mentality, chin, stamina, toughness, inside game etc.. It's the type of fight Price needs at this stage, I think, so whilst Skelton is no world beater, I think it's a good bout. When Wlad was making a name for himself, he fought a comparable opponent to Skelton in Purrity and it all went wrong so if Price can come through this and look good, it'll be a noteworthy win.

That said, I'm not sure how well Skelton will take Price's punches. He's not hard to hit so if Price connects early, we'll get to see how much power he has against a tough opponent. If he gets Skelton out in a couple of rounds, that indicates Price has serious power.

I'm excited about Price's career. I think he's exactly what the heavyweight division needs.

 

Anyone wondering how two fights in double quick time is going to affect old man Skelton

 

Good news, after he dispatches of Skelton he should fight again in January or February if he wants the British outright, then push on from there.

 

Apart from being both being black and over 6ft what exactly does a near 50 year old Skelton have in common have Ross Purity?

 

Durability.

 

Not anymore. This is one of the most pathetic punches to KO a man I've ever seen.

Not to mention Kevin McBride flattened him recently only for it wrongly to be called a push.
