Skelton on a platter for a pay-day and to fast-forward Chisora's 'credentials'.

Chisora WTKO 5, Skelton on his stool.

Thought Matt had retired due to a dodgy hand? :KO: :o or have I imagined this? This card looks good now with lots of decent line ups... :box:

BIGMARK wrote:INTERESTING FIGHT, however i feel Skelton may only taking it for the money as he has already retired but no doubt will want to go out with a win. Lets hope we get a motivated Skelton who will test Chisora taking him into deep water in his first test. THis is looking like a cracking bill, lets hope it all stays together
:lol: Dream on lover.

Good crossroads fight for both. Chisora does need a good challenge and Skeleton will test him i see Chisora having a little to much and stopping him late possibley corner retirement finishing Big Matt's career

I'm surprised this match up has been made.

Must be a good pay day for Skelton to accept it.

To have been fighting for commonwealth/euro/world belts in his last 5 fights. To then take on an untested prospect who's been knocking over bums the last few fights for a southern area.. Sounds a bit sus to me.

Why not fight for the vacant English at least, that holds more president and would bring better opponents for defences? Where is McD i'd much rather see Chisora fight him.

Anyway, I see Chisora taking this on points. small chance of a stoppage if he comes in fit and well prepared. Would like to see Chisora's chin well tested though, if Skelton can find some of his former power and land a big one it could finish it.

Matt isn't a big puncher though is he? Thats the point...he relies on resolve, work-rate and his strength. At 56 years old, and having retired, through injury....I cannot see him entering in to deep waters for £10-15k here, can you?

Its a Christmas bonus because Chisora isn't as good as he thinks he is. I'd imagine Matt brings it for 2-3 rounds, Chisora (if he survives) takes over and Matt develops an injury around 5th.

A mutual favour between Matt and Warren. Thats what it smells of to me.

As for John McD, I think everyone would prefer to fight him AFTER Christmas wouldn't they?

This is a really good fight. I agree that the bill is shapping up to be a very good one. A good start to the new year.

What's wrong with these Warren bills? It's a great line up and every fight I will want to see, excluding the 3 village idiots from Norfolk with their inbred fans of course! :lol:

Is this March 13th? If so, is this bill going to be a British leg of a Sky PPV for the Pacman-Mayweather fight?
