    That's probably the worst picture from the worst night of Skelton's career. Although McBride's sheer size should give him a chance alone, Skelton will roughhouse him in an ugly and unappealing yet effective fashion.

      Skelton won that fight, that's like the only decent blow that guy threw at him.

        To be fair, the guy was about three stone lighter and only just above Cruiser... though Skelton was dejected as he was due to fight Danny Williams up to 24 hours beforehand.

        This thread reminded me that I hadn't put my bet on yet. bet365.com have Skelton as 4-11 favourite, with McBride 2-1 underdog.

          Matt Skelton is highly overrated, and I think that if Danny Williams came in shape he would KO him in 1 round.

            He's a pile of crap, but he could probably take McBride... he might - might - be able to take Ruiz as well.

              williams should have him easily, if he fixes up.

              Skelton is a boring fighter, he's slow, got no footwork, decent power and decent boxing skills.

                He's a 37 year old kickboxer who decided to give a run at boxing, and there is the result. I heard that McBribe vs Skelton might not even happen, I forget where. No idea, at this point Skelton is not a money opponent, and non of the champs would fight him unless Don King puts it together to lose more money.

                  Can Skelton take McBride? i think the question should be the other way round, Skeltons not great but he better than McBride, i think he'll beat Ruiz too. Apart from Vitali the division is shameful.

                    Was that a typo or have you just invented a satirical new nickname?
