Matt Skelton favourite in Danny Williams bout

[Guest]

From www.bet365.com (I'm not employed by 'em, they're just handy):


1st July bout, 8pm:

Matt Skelton - 1/2
Danny Williams - 8/5



Danny has said that if he loses this and it's a fair decision he'll retire as there'll be nothing left for him.

i'm suprised they have skelton as favorite, with williams's experience and boxing ability, maybe there's a feeling that he's possibly shot now after his fight with klitchko

Yeah... I guess they know how unpredictable he can be, and what a clubbing bear Skelton is.

Hmmm... they did have him as something like 11-1 for Tyson. I didn't think he was going to win that fight, but I thought he had better than a 11-1 chance...

Skelton should win this cuddle-fest

this fight means very little to me.

It certainly won't be pretty. I can see a jeering crowd breaking down Danny's fragile psyche.

Though I can also see Danny knocking him into next week.

Skelton could get lucky, but I doubt it. I'd say Skelton getting DQ'd is a much more likely outcome.

As cliched as it is to say that more depends on Danny, it's still true. If Williams turns up without a bit of fire in his belly (and the referee airs on the side of leniency concerning Skelton's thuggery), I could see Skelton stealing it.

It's a bit of a lose/lose scenario though, they're both ****, and half of them is older than dirt. Still, it'll make for humourous viewing leading up to Ricky's shot at Tszyu.

I'd have made Williams favourite, just.
