I think Joe's shot his chips after the last debacle, reckon FW was fuming.

I think that could be the biggest missed opportunitiy he's had in his career. Had he beaten Johnson, he could have been in line to face Jones, who is obviously desirous of a title belt so he can get more leverage in negotiations with Tarver.

Good points guys. Too many cooks and all that.

Regarding the fight itself, I've always heavily favoured Skelton to win and still do but it isn't totally impossible for Audley to snatch a victory IF he gets on his bike from the off and keeps moving around night. He must have a serious tactical plan otherwise he wouldn't be taking the fight.

Trouble is the 12 rounds Harrison put in against Francis will not benefit him in the slightest when the rampaging Skelton starts trying to rough him up.

I'll give Audley huge credit if he pulls this off though, especially if he scores an inside schedule win. The reason being because he'll have to show a heck of a lot more than he has so far.
