    Williams and Skelton to go again

    What are your opinions on the rematch. Is it only happening because Frank Warren can't back up his promises and deliver a title fight for Williams thus making no-one else worth fighting?

    Courtesy of BBC sport:
    Danny Williams and Matt Skelton have agreed to a rematch at Manchester's MEN Arena on 15 July.

    Commonwealth heavyweight champion Williams took a split decision against British champion Skelton last month.

    The winner could go on to fight for a world title later this year, according to promoter Frank Warren.

    Russia's WBA champion Nikolay Valuev, who will defend his title on 3 June, has been touted as the most likely world-title opponent in the past.

    Williams and Skelton will return to action in separate non-title bouts at the York Hall, Bethnal Green, on 1 April.

    Damn, Williams is getting another titile shot, I think if he fights Valuev that may be a fight he can win. I've never seen Skelton fight, but I've about him.

      He was much improved against Skelton and he seems to be more focused and taking his training real seriously. I just don't get why there should be a rematch when Frank Warren said he would get a title shot for the winner.

        Skelton got robbed, this time skelton will have his revenge because of that bull**** robbery, close fight but skelton won it and many people thought that too.

          I was in favour of Williams but it was fairly close. I think that with Williams boxing experience he can win by a much bigger margin and definitley UD.
