Kevin McBride dropped Skelton in prizefighter (although the ref missed it, probably IJL) Skelton admitted to being badly hurt afterwards. This was a a couple of years ago at least, so Price can definitly hurt him. I reckon we'll see a couple of huggy, mauling rounds before Price creates some space and Ko's him round 3.

It's 4/9 with Ladbrokes that Price wins inside 6 rounds.

Skeltons punch resistance is gone! & he only knows how to fight one way.mcdermot tried to take it to price & got took out.i can't see Skelton being any different, but it is the heavies & one punch can change thing's.

No. I'll be surprised if he hears the bell for the end of the fourth. If he lasts five or beyond, Price is working on stuff and getting the rounds in.

He'll be gone within three... Price will make another statement before fighting Fury in the NY. I hope....

Price should finish matters early given the size difference:

"6ft 82 man mountain backed to continue undefeated record"

Although in incredible fighting shape for his age, Skelton's old legs won't be up to the task of keeping him away from Price's shots. Only hope he has is to wade in close and maul. Worked well against Dallas, but he could well get countered and chinned as soon as he tries it against Price.

I'll be very surprised if he's still there in round 7.

If Price gets him out of there quick it wil be a real demonstration of power; Skelton tends to get worn down not blown out; if he goes over from a clean shot then the hype is for real and Price is a massive hitter.....

Pulev put him away in 4 2 years ago in his 5th pro fight so gotta use that as a marker. Price better have better opposition next year.

I think this will be another one round job. Two at the most. Skelton some years ago could have maybe given Price a better test.

I had a dream that Skelton knocked Price out in the first round. Must have had too much cheese.

I think Skelton may survive the first couple of rounds but I really can't see him being able to take Price's power much longer than that. His defence isn't the best either so he'll most likely be eating big right hands on a regular basis.
