Tommorow its Matt Skelton vs Danny Williams, and Skelton is going to beat Williams, Williams himself said that he didnt take Audley Harrison as a threat and he beat him on pizzas and mr kipling's because he knew harrison is a technical boxer but no way hes a fighter, he said hes talking Skelton very seriously and Danny himself thinks Skelton is a serious Threat to him, and hes training hard, he even left the Press Conference before Skelton arrived...maybe he is taking him very seriously.
I would be very suprised if Skelton wins this. it looks like Danny has trained hard, and his boxing ability should see him win by either a late KO/TKO or UD.

There is also the carrot of a possible world heavyweight title shot later this year for the winner. Skelton, you can see, wants it bad and the fact that the fight has already been postponed twice will increase his hunger.
When the fight was originally announced for July last year, I went with Skelton and that’s the man I’m still going to go with.
Skelton seems so hungry that I think he will prepared to walk through anything that Danny throws. That I think will be difference come 25th.
Sanders has no doubt Skelton, undefeated in 18 bouts, will prove too strong for the experienced champion, who has had almost twice as many bouts and bosts the name of Mike Tyson among his scalps.
''I expect Skelton to stop him in the second half of the fight – around rounds eight or nine,'' said Sanders.
''No-one is denying Williams is the better boxer but when it comes to power, strength, stamina and sheer ambition, Skelton leaves him standing.
''Williams beat Tyson, you can't take that away from him. But he never stopped him. Tyson retired on his stool with a knee injury. Up until then Williams was under pressure.
''He also took a severe beating against Vitali Klitschko and I reckons he's taken too many severe beatings now to be a major force.
''His display against Audley Harrison in his last fight was pathetic. They were like two grannies in a vegetable patch.
''The most shots he threw in a round was 20. He never once fought for the full three minutes. Skelton fights every second of every minute, he never lets up. That's what we've trained for and Williams just won't be able to cope with the sustained pressure.''
Skelton has been in training for the contest since just before Christmas and has completed 128 rounds of sparring against four top heavyweights.
One of those was promising American Carl Daniels III from Chicago. He's unbeaten in nine fights and is highly respected in the States.
''But we had to send him back home after four days – he couldn't take any more,'' said Sanders.
It's been widely reported that Warren has promised the winner a crack at Russia's WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev or WBO titleholder Lamon Brewster, but Sanders prefers to stick to one fight at a time.
''We're concentrating on one fight and one fight alone,'' he said.
''I've seen the reports but am not paying too much attention to them.''
Sanders also said he was paying no attention whatsoever to reports suggesting Williams' training had been hampered due to a twisted ankle.
''He's making excuses already. He says he hasn't been able to run. Well, I tell you what, he'd better be able to run tomorrow night because he'll have a big train coming at him.''
Danny has as much if not more power than Skelton IMO.
Skelton has the best Stamina, Heart & Power...Lets see what happens tonight, Danny has decent power but he has'nt got good stamina, he needs to improve his workrate.
