Skelton's still fighting like he's in the K-1 and is terrible. Williams to win.
williams can be easily discouraged and skelton has the style to put him on the defensive.

skelton did look terrible in that big bad bob fight though didn't he. right life or deather that one.

Didn't see the bob fight but Krence was out boxing him and Skelton just had better power so hispunches were harder.

even after the last debacle, Williams should have too much for Skelton. If you look in the dictionary under "limited" there is just a picture of Matt Skelton waving

That being said Williams is schooled in finding a way to fornicate things up.

It's not so much a "pick 'em" fight as a "who cares?"fight

I wish Frank wouldn't keep announcing fights before the fighters have agreed to them, because its fornicating annoying

u gotta check that little classic out.

skelton gets a nasty swelling on his right eye and gets hurt from some of mirovic's counter punches.

skelton mauls bob out of it and forces him to quit on his stool. it was a real bar room brawl of a fight.

the kind of scrap that makes u proud to be british.

In his defence there wasn't much going on here for him with Warren trying to put a spanner in the works. Warren has Skelton, Sprott and Williams I really don't see where Harrison could have gone over here, and he seems to have done the right thing and is getting some US TV exposure which in the long run will be better for him if he can keep winning.

Too bad Audley didn't get those titles first then the European.

After the negotiation had totally broke down he went to the US yes, what was the point in him stopping here??? No TV and the other top British HW's were all signed to Frank

audley needed that fight at the time and threw his toys out of the pram as soon as warren called that press conference.

that fight would have been a much needed profile boost for his career, before he went off to the states.

oh well nevermind.

Come on Warren did all he could to stop that fight happening, he knew announcing it when it wasn't a done deal would piss Harrison off. He tried the same trick with Tszyu.

Leastit worked with Tszyu, didn't with Harrison.

tszyu didn't throw a wobbler when it was announced though did he. like the pro he is, he took his time and agreed.

unlike harrison who over reacted and put the fight up shit creek.

My point is in the Tszyu and Harrison cases I am pretty sure he did it deliberately to try and stop the fights happening. It's no secret Hatton was the one who wanted the Tszyu fight and not Warren so I have no doubts he was trying to scupper it if he could with the early announcement. I don't see what he has to gain by doing so, more fights will be lost than made by doing so and it juts gets peoples backs up for no reason.

What the fornicate'n'ell are you going on about Hitman.... you deranged fool

Nobody knows what went on in the negotiation apart from those involved, so how come you are suddenly the resident expert on the Audley Vs Skelton negotiations

At the time Audley had no TV contract and needed a boost to his career and IMO allegedly didn't want to help him back up the ladder by giving him TV exposure and a shot at the British title, plus I don't think he wanted to run the risk of having his best HW beaten on his channel by his arch-rival.........because lets face it Audley boxes Skeltons ears off comfortably, I know it and allegedly knows it
