Tend to agree, Evans looks limited against Skeete, but he's not going anywhere.
Skeete isn't ?

There were signs in round 4 that Evans might land something. I didn't give him the 4th, thought it was even

It's not Bradley's fault - he's just made for dull points wins.
Anyone wanna play Ritchie Woodhall bingo ?
We've already had 'needs to quicken his feet a little bit' at twice, so it's going to be "easier said than done of course" for house.

Evans had some of his better success of the fight in the 4th round, but it still wasn't enough. Skeete back in total control in the 5th and he continues shutting down Evans' attempts at offense.
5-0 Skeete

Skeete back in control in r5 but the pressure from Evans is relentless, I wonder if Skeete could tire under this?

Feels like the final scorecard of this one is obvious. Doesn't look like Evans is gonna be stopped, and it also doesn't look like he can win a round.
6-0 Skeete

Relentless my ass. Evans is just following him around getting jabbed.

Agree DE isn't going anywhere.
I thought you were saying Skeete isn't going anywhere (further than British title level).
I can't see it happening but, I'd love to see Bradley bore the pants off Crawford, Spence, Thurman et al !

He ain't gonna win a round I don't figure. Just not good enough. Maybe if he were willing to take chances and go in with abandon he might take a round, but being cautious like this he might as well just quit now because he can't win.

Skeete's already beaten the European champion, Sam Eggington, and I think he'd win any rematch too, so he's above British level for certain.
I do agree there would be a kind of perverse pleasure in watching Skeete do this at world level.

I missed the 7th round, but given the pattern of the fight and the way the 8th round continued the same as the first 6 had I think it's a safe bet that Skeete remained in control in the 7th.
8-0 Skeete

In terms of excitement Bradley Skeete makes Floyd Mayweather look like Arturo Gatti.

Yes he did. I thought Evans got a share of the fourth but looks like Skeete was just taking a breather. The longer the fight goes the more the difference in class is showing.

8-0 Skeete

79-70 after 8

Ritchie just said "quicken up the feet" for the 3rd time, but no "easier said than done of course"
So, excitement of this fight all over.

I'll be honest, I quit watching at the start of the 11th.
120-108 Skeete
Dale Evans couldn't win a round against Skeete if he fought 1000 of them.
