man...that guy must feel like shit....he looked like he regretted staying down soon as the bell went....
cant see him showing his face in boxing for quite some time!
LMAO at the thread title...
are we supposed to feel sorry for him??
The guy had no intention of fightong last night, it was a fucking disgrace. He shouldn't be paid for being such a pansy.
I wonder if he would lay on the floor for 10 mins to hype up prospects power for a bonus :dunno:
He'd have to let them land clean for that.
That's 100k. lol
Naaahh. He's smiling all the way to the bank. No injuries and a fatter account. He's out of ambitions that's for sure. He might still be able to collect a decent payday on name alone as a stepping-stone for one or two up-an-coming fighters.

I think I would pay 50k not to watch Skelton.
That guy tries like hell, but he's pretty painful to watch.
nobody hate Skelton more than me.
He is actually shit at boxing. You kind of have to admire than he remains competitive,
He has a unique style, he clinches, mauls, slobbers and sweats all over his opponenent until they give in. I'd give in.
He got paid I guess but they won't pay him again.
They should have spent 50k on British heavyweights Sprott or Skelton. They would have come to fight.
I think there is a chance of them with holding Sykes' purse after that show..
it was the whole, i cant do it thing in the corner....anyone got any other examples of fighters saying stuff like this is their corners?
he wasnt really whimpering....he was a sorry sight though....
i havent seen a fighter unravel like that for quite some time....makes you realise just how badass top level fighters like povetkin are....to reduce a huge guy like that to a whimpering child...
What happened? As soon as I saw Povetkin win I went to the Lee card.
50k with no injuries, that's what he was doing.
But he took it too far, and now won't get more medium-profile fights like that.
Yep, no doubts.
It was too obvious though. At least make it look like your trying to fight, and the 'KO' was great. A glancing shot...
No blame on Povetkin imo, he went to fight. Sykes just wouldn't let it happen :dunno:

He knew what he was doing last night, so i doubt he feeling too bad tbh.
