Dereck Chisora vs. Ondrej Pala RBR

This contest is at welterweight, but Skeete's last two were at middleweight. (and his career thus far has seen him pinball between 147, 154 and 160). He is also extremely tall and thin for 147 and has probably more of a junior middle or full middle frame.

 

Round 7

Skeete is jabbing out at Lynes from outside, bouncing on his toes and putting together wide roundhouse half-uppercut rights before Lynes can jump in past the jab with a short-armed hooking sequence. Lynes hunkers down and bobs on the outside, looking to catch Skeete unawares pouncing in with a pair of hooks, but lacks the speed to get within range. Skeete is able to move as soon as Lynes begins his attacking motion, then set himself from safety and pepper Lynes with light jabs and straight combos.

10-9 Skeete

67-65 Skeete

 

Yeah. On the farther end of that, if Buglioni vs. Horvath goes the full twelve after this.

 

I'm sure I've heard the pairing mentioned for 'somewhere a bit down the road' a few times on-air...frequently on the forums, too.

 

Round 8

Skeete is jumping around Lynes and dropping in jabs and clap-down mousetrap rights across the shoulders of Lynes, falling atop him and clinching before pushing off and circling out to long range to start over. Lynes is stepping forward, not letting anything go. Skeete jumps around him and flurries at will, sitting down on nothing.

10-9 Skeete

77-74 Skeete

 

Round 9

Skeete is running clockwise around Lynes, tapping out with his antenna jab. Straight right charging in by Lynes, catching Skeete at just the right moment to land solidly and push his chin back. Lynes is jumping in and hooking the body as Skeete grabs him when his attempts to run are untimely. Nice right hand by Lynes at the bell.

10-9 Lynes

86-84 Skeete

 

Well, to be fair - Pryce, against whom he made his first defense of the Commonwealth belt and who ranks among his best 3-4 victories, is an oversized super featherweight (and with a few more grey hairs than Skeete...)

 

Round 10

Skeete is pumping double jabs and hopping carefully out and to his left, with a large gap left between them. Lynes charges in firing hard and Skeete collides into him to clinch. Skeete darts in and out and jabs. Right hand by Lynes, Skeete throwing his own right as a decoy to move in and hold. Slapping left hook by Skeete dancing around Lynes. Left hook, right cross by Lynes, just grazing Skeete.

10-9 Lynes

95-94 Skeete

 

No. One more.

 

Hmm. :think
