Re: Any Good London Fights Coming Up?
The Sexton / Williams is probably the best card on in London at that time but it is a very good card.

How many times have we been promised a scinitilating card only to see if fall apart in the weeks leading up to the event?
I for one hope that isn't the case here because what is being proposed looks like a cracking show
Re: Any Good London Fights Coming Up?
Finchley prospect Derek Chisora steps up against Bedford’s former world title challenger Matt Skelton in a fine domestic heavyweight clash at Wembley on February 13 for the Southern Area title.
The smooth-boxing Chisora is unbeaten in 11 pro fights since he captured the 2005 ABA super-heavyweight title but the rough-tough Skelton went the full 12 rounds with Ruslan Chagaev in a brave attempt at the WBA heavyweight title in Germany in 2008 and has held British, Commonwealth and European belts in his time. The gap in experience is immense.
Nevertheless, veteran Matt will be 43 by the night of the fight – 17 years older than Chisora – and has lost three of his last four outings (and all his titles). One wonders if the big Bedford Bear is ringworn and there for the taking against the capable, cocky Chirora who goes by the nickname of “Del Boy” and talks a great fight. (He also used his jaws to bite outgunned Midlander Paul Butlin in an eight-rounder last year, an incident which won him a four-month boxing ban and few friends.) Chisora’s best win is an an excellent six-round stoppage of Norwich stylist Sam Sexton at York Hall in 2008 – now the Commonwealth heavyweight champion. Skelton has sparred a lot with Sexton and will know what a good result that is for Chisora.
Chisora is undoubtedly the man on the way up, the man with good size, boxing ability and a decent dig, but the North Londoner’s inexperience and temperament remain in question. How will he react when Skelton pushes him back and applies the rough stuff? (Skelton will do both; he launched a flying headbutt at Danny Williams in the opening seconds of a 2006 foulfest.)
This one could go either way, then, a cracking 50-50 affair. I have a feeling that, while Skelton inevitably makes it wild and woolly in there, Chisora's youth will be served.

Frank Maloney has a solid show coming up at York Hall later this month, Warrior, topped by Ian Napa in a British title fight and with some good boys on the bill, including Carl "Ingemar" Johanneson.

Make that Brentwood, not York Hall.
