    I haven't seen a great deal of Skeete myself, but Frontin should give us a decent idea of where he is heading. Don't be fooled by his record, he's a capable fighter.

    Seen a few of his fights. Martirosyan's alright. Haven't been overly impressed though.

    I used to box out of the same amateur gym as him. He is has got nice skills and is very rangey for the weight, I think he will get better and better as he fills out as he gets older.

    Showed good improvement in his last fight, seems to be punching harder already. I would fancy him to beat heffron down the line as well.

    He is also the nicest fella you could ever meet so I hope he goes all the way, the ability is definately there!

    To be fair mate the way heffron is performing he could be outboxed by skeete. I think heffrons got great potential but he needs to start having some sort of defence because when he steps up in class he gets punished.

    Granted he beat bradley in the amateurs but I don't think he would walk through like he did then. He will end up walking onto something!

    Didn't realise he was fighting Frontin. I'm more interested in this fight from a Frontin point of view than anything now. :lol:

    Will be a decent domestic fighter IMO. Dont know why but he looks like a KO waiting to happen, just have a strange feeling he's got dodgy whiskers.

    He is a rangey fighter with decent skill set but not a lot of pop, I believe he is big friends with James Degale aswell.

    I reckon he could pick up domestic titles but doubt he will surpass European level.

    Heffron stopped Skeete in the ABA final, IMHO the same will happen if they meet in the pros Heffron to good to strong Skeete

    Not impressed with him, tbh. Wish him the best though of course.

    I think bradley is a good fighter and a v good prospect!..had a good steady start to his carrer and is improving with each fight!..great show the other night against frontin,boxed him fairly easy..maybe should have got him out of there early but still i think brads gna do well..and also a top bloke!

    Im not overly impressed if Im honest, he still has time to learn and wish him well, at the moment I can't see him getting above British level.
