Whoever wins it was an apalling fight first time around and will be again. Neither will make any waves on the world scene that is obvious to anyone but the most blinkered.

To be fair I thought it was a good fight in a mauling brawling sort of way... if Skelton stops the constant fouling and holding this time then this fight could be better with more cleaner work...

How do you know it will be apalling?

Come on it was a good brawl.
If it hadn't been for the slack ropes Skelton could well have KO'd Williams or at least done enough damage to win the fight. This rematch could go either way.
Skelton would never KO Williams clean.

I may be in the minority going for Skelton but I know he will do it this time - He didnt have a real gameplan because he didnt think he needed one - Skelton really beleived he could wobble Williams with his power and went to peices when he found he couldnt - His attitude will be different in July and you will see a very different fight - More scoring punches in the earlier rounds and loading up for a big attack around 7-8 - Williams will fade away after this one and Skelton will go on to get the title and retire - Funny how the odds were in favour of Skelton in fight 1 and this time its Williams who is the favourite - So we shall see on the night but I say Skelton will definately stop Williams
