Skelton wins by TKO6 in my opinion.

Damn, I am very carefull about betting on underdogs and I am not going to bet on Moli. But if he wins....
It is almost imposible to say how good Skelton compear to Moli, at this point and 11/2 sounds crazy! It should be 5/2 - this is make sence, but not 11/2. Moli was pretty good with bums in Argentina, Skelton was pretty good with bums in UK. The question is where bums better

?
Not Sure, But.......

I've never seen either of them fight before, but if I was to make a prediction..... I'd say Skelton wins via TKO or KO by rounds 3 to 7.....

But you can't forget experience, Moli has been there with Vlad Klitschko...for about a minute!

He did manage 12 rounds last time out at 281lbs...but it was against a man he had TKO'd before.
Has he beaten the record for heaviest ever world title challenger?

that was one of the worst fights iv seen!! i thought it was funny when moli kept gettin knocked down, and getting up taunting skelton! i think it will be good if skelton fights williams in the summer (warren promotes both of them and said it will happen) i hope skelton wins as i cant stand williams!!

All in all though British boxing is in a bad way imo.

Ha, Ha...I agree watching a fatter Steve Bunce against a fat Shaun Goater was the only highlight of that fight.

What a joke that fat lump was. His early "effort" - dog tired after one round, then trying for a dsq a bit later - must have got him wondering if he'd get paid in full. That's when I think he decided to make a "gallant" last stand - snarling defiance etc etc ( plus one eye on the canvas for a soft landing ). After the last knockdown, he was trying to look like he wanted to carry on, but was giving little shakes of the head to his corner: as in "throw the effing towel in you bastards!"
They missed it somehow, but thankfully for everyone the ref didn't.
Well done Warren - what a great advert for the sport that was.
I Told ya So!!

Unfortunately Audley cannot come back at the moment as he has a tight schedule.
