Obviously, there are much better tests out there, but given boxing politics and the circumstances of the promotion (7 weeks is relatively short time frame, making it harder to get a good name) do people really expect anybody much better?

We could all think of a dozen good names for Price's next scrap - and also a dozen reasons as to why the potential fight couldn't be made for December 8th!

Given the fact that at this stage of his career Price should be fighting AT LEAST four times a year I think Skelton is fine as a 'stay busy' type fight. He has traditionally been very durable so hopefully will extend Price into the 2nd half of the fight and, as already mentioned, it gets him one step closer to keeping the Lonsdale Belt - something I get the impression he is keen to do.

So, for me, whilst I'm not chomping at the bit to see it happen, I can take this for what it is and be relatively satisfied.

Good post.

It's very difficult to argue against this.
