    Audley Harrison vs. Matt Skelton... who wins, and how?

    Or should the question be "do you care?"

    Regardless, Audley is still one of the top five (unintentionally) funniest boxers active today, so he always get the yes vote from me.

    Having seen Skelton in trouble some time ago by Bob Mirovic, when his right eye was on the verge of closing and he looked dispirited (before making Mirovic inexplicably quit when he looked like making a breakthrough) I can envisage Harrison obscuring Skelton's vision with the jab and doing enough for the referee to step in and it go on his record as a TKO, despite Skelton not being especially hurt.

    Let's not forget that Harrison does have boxing skills when he cares to use them, and Skelton... doesn't. Yes, I'm picking Tawdry Embarrassin' for the upset, and at 2-1 odds I'm hoping he'll come up trumps.

    But what say you?

    My money's (I've even put a score on it) on Ordinary by stoppage (surprisingly good odds), although I think he'll win on points.

      I say Skelton by Ko because I'm optimistic and I'm not particulary crazy about Harrison. IMO, Harrison should "cross the pond" over to Germany and beat some name former USSR fighters(I'm trying to be politically correct by not labeling all these fighters "RUSSIANS") or to the U.S. and make a name for himself. Point is, beating Harrison isn't going to help his career all that much.

        It's not politically correct. It's just accurate, you daft Canadian you.

        Skelton couldn't knock out my gran. He could screw Ordinary up enough to win though.

          Im going for skelton in this one. Think he'll go in and ruff Audrey up and ko him out. Audrey has some skills, but hes got no real stopping power. Has the potential to be a real snooze fest thou.

            Audley by points, I don't know how because I don't know which version of each fighter will come into the fight.. but I can see Audley outboxing Matt Skelton and decision him.. however, if Audley loses this fight he should hang them up IMO.

              Skelton is very entertaining..i hope he wins...prolly by points..can't see him stopping Audley...for some reason, i don't know why as awful as Harrison is..i suspect as alot of other people have mentioned, Harrison has something..its just well where the **** is it and when is it gonna happen..
              first instinct is Matt will be too busy..

                Yeah, gut instinct and form favours Skelton, Tawdry's a legitimate underdog here.
