Chagaev-Skelton Set For 1/19 in Dusseldorf

I doubt he knocks him out. Watching Skelton turns my stomach, he literally fights like a bear and is hairy as one

[number6]

Chagaev would completely out class him

[The Monk]

Remind me to make sure im out when this fight it on, its gonna be a stinker. Skelton will be outclassed btw.

[Likely_Lad]

Skelton wont be knocked out.

It will be a typical maul fest from him, Chagaev should win but it wont do his career any good because its impossible to shine against Skelton.

[sparked_85]

I agree with that, Skelton will make anyone look ****. I don't think any outclassing will be done with this bear, who just grabs, uses his head and sweats all over you.

The germans or whoever chageav's crew can't have watched any of his fights.

Chagaev wins easily. This will be like a heavyweight Calzaghe/Bika

I'm surprised Frank the Wank has pulled it off and got a World Title shot for Skelton finally after two years of promises.

[The Hammer]

Matt Skelton is very similar in his fighting style to John Ruiz - he's painful to watch. But he's also a tough cookie who knows how to win.

I predict a difficult decision win for Chagaev, similar to his fight with Ruiz.

[Konfusious]

Solis in good shape, this is over by 3.

Solis in bad shape, this is over in 6.

Chagaev-Skelton Set For 1/19 in Dusseldorf

As reported last week, Matt Skelton (21-1, 18KOs) was on the verge of landing a title shot at WBA heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev (23-0-1, 17KOs). Promoter Frank Warren sealed the deal and the fight takes place at the Burg-Waechter Castello in Dusseldorf on January 19. The fight was initially eyed for February or March, but Chagaev was demanding an earlier return. [details]

I made this thread never watching Skelton just hearing about him but guess he's like another Ruiz. Whatever what matters is Chagaev beats him and continues his success in da division.
