When was this fight? Never heard of the guy but thats a decent win for a 5th fight, he must have a lot of amateur experience but how old is he?
I feel gutted about Skelton though, he should retire or fight Williams again, hes had a good career. Won , british, commonwealth and European titles and challenged for a world title and was the best and most consistent British heavyweight for a while.

Skelton's become a certified 'bum.' Just a couple years ago, he went the distance (and won some rounds) with Ruslan Chagaev. Now he's just a 'stepping stone' opponent..

Skelton doesn't care any more, he's just there to stuff his face, and fall over as soon as he's hit with anything above the kneecap

Impressive for a 5th fight.

i guess kubrat pulev is already popular with the ladies judging by this picture...

[The Hammer]

Kubrat Pulev has two impressive wins in his first five fights: a dominant decision over Gbenga Oloukun in December, and now TKO 4 over Matt Skelton.

Very good start to his pro career. He's age 28, two years younger than Povetkin.
