YA THINK? That was one of the worst fights I've ever seen and both guys were crap that night. All the best to McDermott and I hope he doesn't get hurt but Skelton can only lose this fight. John can't win it.

Man I gotta keep the faith! C'mon John you can do it!

Both fighters have always come across as really nice guys and I hope they are both getting well paid etc. But Boxing is a hard, cruel and brutal sport and I just can't see anyother outcome other than a stoppage win for Skelton.

Damn, man. That was a close fight. I was hoping Skelton would be more comprehensive then that.

Well that didn't last long did it?

Skelton just walked right through Big John. I really can't see where McDermott goes from here.

Big John has a bad chin, but the stoppage was horrible - one legitimate KD. The others were Skelton leaning on him.

It wouldn't have gone much further and neither will John. His chin is too weak.

Maybe a fight with Wayne Llewellyn as both have no entered the last chance saloon.

Khan is a Light-Welterweight and Mitchell is a Super-Featherweight what sense would that fight make?

NOOOO!!! JOHN!! NO! I cry foul! they weren't knock downs the were shoves! Rematch! Change the ref! It must be done for the future of Boxing!!

McDermott looked rubbish, but the ref f****d up with the stopage.

That was clearly a push on the back of the neck but the clueless ruled it legit. Didn't really matter in this one, but someone needs to point this out in case he cocks up any future fights.

Maybe he was being merciful and preventing big John from having a huge cornary....
