    Chagaev by late TKO or UD. Skelton is probably the best out of the British heaveyweights, but I'd probably be better than most of them and I weigh 150lbs. I think Skelton should be undefeated because I scored his loss to Williams as a win for Skelton, but who cares, he's going to lose against Chaaev.

    I think Chagaev may have enough in his armoury to stop Skelton. However, I think he wins a wide UD.

    Chagaev should be too skillful for Skelton.
    I don't think Skelton will be able to knock Chagaev out and he doesn't have the kind of style that judges tend to favour, so a points win (especially in this situation) seems unlikely. I expect Skelton to be determined and gutsy in the face of a better boxer, but end up losing a wide decision. Matt is a pretty solid durable guy thought so I'm not feeling a stoppage.

    Chagaev UD.

    I will be doing my patriotic bit and cheering Morph on though :D
