    Hope he wins.

    Never thought Chag could box well until Valuev though. With Sprott he mostly outmuscled him and looked like he could of been outboxed but Sprott couldn't hold him back.

    Skelton will last the distance and lose.

    If this was Valuev, Skelton would have a chance though.

    Ruiz didn't have a problem with Valuev's size, It was Valuev who was doing all the holding that fight.

    Chagaev will bust him up on the way in. Olympic world class boxer beats British level brawler every day of the week.

    However just like Kevin Keegan said "I Would love it, love it, if we beat them"

    COME ON MATT

    Yes, but Chagaev has also proved it on the world stage with wins over Virches, Ruiz & Valuev. The only blemish on his record, a draw to the then 43-3 rob calloway in his 6th fight, even then it was a TD after 3 rounds. The result against Valuev was most impressive, as is his amateur record. 17 of his 23 have come inside the distance, personally I believe Matt will become the 18th inside distance victim.

    I hope Im wrong, but that Southpaw jab is going to catch the ring rusty bedford bear on the way in until mr Skelton cant take no more.

    being abetting man i couldnt resist the odds of 5/1 for a skelton win. So whacked a score on it.

    But thinking about it, i may as well have just burnt a 20 note.

    I will be rooting him on all the way, not just because theres a £110 in it for me, but because hes British of course :D

    Morph is gonna get a pasting here, the marauding, human mudslide **** will not work against a class operator.
    easy pick. Morph gets leathered before getting DQ'd.

    I hope that this will be the last fight of Skelton´s career and I belive that might be the case. That would be wonderful! Sometimes when a shitty fighter like Skelton gets a big fight and get totally outclassed, they realize that they are never ever gonna beat a world class opponent. And yeah, they get a big payday... So they retire. Hopefully this will be Skeltons case. I hate him and hope that Chagaev knocks him out in round two. I hope a very brutal knock out.

    Skelton looks disinterested/bored/scared/worried. Chagaev is going to **** him up. Will be surprised if Skelton wins a round.
