    Skeete is a 1/16 favorite.

    Competent boxer sounds right.

    Not seeing the Gavin fight, the loss to Gavin confused me a little bit as I watched him fight Loriga and Pinto. I thought there was some flaw I was missing, but the Eggington win solidified him as a skilled operator in my mind. I was just thinking about him yesterday, that I think he would be a tough opponent for any of the WW champions, even Spence.

    As to his ethnicity, I would guess, Moroccan and Jewish.

    Yeah, can't see him beating any of the champs (or getting any love from the judges as the road challenger even if he deserved it) but he could be tricky for all.

    Jewish isn't unlikely... But there are actually a lot of Mediterranean types that have been in the British isles for thousands of years. There are a lot of Welsh with olive colored skin and buggy eyes, funny enough Calzaghe being of Welsh/Italian ancestry could easily pass for either because of this.

    Williams caught Smyle with a hell of a shot.

    Good fight so far, I'm using this was the RBR for the Skeete card.

    Smyle is having a good fight for my money.

    Smyle despite being knocked down is leading this fight imo.

    I agree with the announcers on this fight, the good work is being done by Smyle. Williams is to concerned with landing the big shot and going for the knockout.

    Smyle is really working Williams over, though Williams is finally trying to make this a fight.

    Nice uppercut from Smyle.
