Gary Mason v Matt Skelton (both prime)

Mason should be able to get the better of the ugly maul to edge the decision.

Mason W12 (7-5)

 

Mason comfortabily

skelton is a clubfighter, his fightgame is bordering on bum status

 

afer 12 rounds of twinkle toed Ali like footwork, Larry Holmes style jabs, Lennox Lewis ring generalship, and Tyson like clean combinations, Id take Mason points by 8 rounds to 4

 

Nice avatar, those two were just made for each other weren't they?

 

Skekton by bulldozer.

 

definitely not one for the purists, car crsh boxing at its worst.

 

Mason was a better boxer than given credit for, but he was still a bit of a clubber. And Skelton is all clubber.

I liked Mason back in the day and I definitely like Skelton. I think Mason would have the cleaner work to get the points win. He was no Ali, but 'refined' certainly doesn't describe Morph's style either.

 

mason by ud in a messy fight 8-4

 

Mason would totally outbox him. I like Skeltons fighting heart though, not the most talented but you cant knock his fighters heart. He was a Muay Thai fighter so the styles are very much different, took him a while to adapt. But at the end of You cant call a man a bum puts 100% inside those ropes man.
