    Yea don't say you didn't think Skeete would beat Sir Jeffrey

    What a shame it wasn't Jeffrey that lay the beat down, it was just a bum from Espana lolololol.

    Ffs even a bloke like Lo Greco would smash that bean pole to smithereens. Can't say I expected this Spanish bloke to do the business though, that's just a lol

    Easy to say in hindsight isn’t it? Even Horn clearly thought there was a good chance he’d get beat, hence why they swerved him at the last minute and chose Gary Corcoran instead

    Utter BS, Corcoran himself would wipe the floor with Skeete.

    This guy is just a nothing, and would have been running for dear life if he fought Sir Jeffrey

    He fought the harder fight?
    I find it disgusting how people can accuse Jeffrey of ducking this bum and now this makes it even more laughable.

    Who did Skeete beat to make him such a killer? His best win is Eggington ffs!!!!

    I would have 100% without hesitation gone with Horn to do the same thing to Skeete that Kerman did. I viewed Horn as a terrible style clash for him, maybe even worst one than Lejarraga. Horn's skillset is brutally underrated.

    Styles make fights I would still favour Skeete to outbox Horn.
    Lejarraga would KO Horn IMO.

    I agree with this whole post, except for the bum from Espana part, Kerman is solid as hell. I've been eagerly awaiting his first step up in class, because I've had a sneaking suspicion he was bordering on world level for awhile.

    1). only a harder fight in hindsight, the majority view when the Corcoran fight was announced was he took the easier fight. Corcoran had just struggled with someone who wasn't even British level yet, whereas Skeete was at the top domestically, and had beat the future European champion.

    2). hardly "disgusting" is it, and I didn't mean he ducked him, I just meant he took the ostensibly easier fight, which he can't be blamed for seeing as he was waiting for the Pacquaio rematch or the Crawford fight.

    Hindsight is wonderful but Horn and his team rejected the fight. It still goes down as a duck. Its possible Kerman is more dangerous than Horn.

    Doesn't deserve to be spoken of in the same breathe as the mighty Horn.

    Skeete is sheete.

    Folded like a piece of origami.
