sprott-skelton thread

[Vantage_West]

im on a roll im doing another round by round:D it's good practice


round:1sprot using a jab to the body oh right hand with left hook seems familiar.oh sprott taunting to skelton.

skelton using a different style this fight more of a boxers stance is he prepearing to box sprott?

um well bit of a mush round but i would give it to sprott becuase of the body jab and skeltons inactivity.

10-8...im mean 10-9 what an idget i am

[Vantage_West]

round 2: nice jab from skelton (his trainer says to start the fight at his pace) sprott on the ropes skelton rips him away lol. i like sprotts style keeping his chin tucked with his hands close to his body....very boring im talking about there style not the action becuase there is none. oh nice skelton clinch hugging very good hug i say...lol wow amzing round thank god im recording this
well 10-9 to skelton 19-19

[Vantage_West]

round 3:sprott being told to growl at him by his trainer great idea that will make him run...ooo both men getting a told of by micky vann wow sprott is doing his cassius clay impressions but skelton clinches nice body shots oh shot on the back of sprotts kidney tutut.

oh wicked left hook he looks pissed off fuck it's geting scrappy oh hell nice combo's but slow...another left hook

i have a theory sprott is letting skelton take it get into a rhythm... and boom left hook all the time...sprott is trying to hook him but he isnt landing.
29-28

[PREVED]

[Vantage_West]

round 4: skelton getting warned again...and that left hook is back with out any lead or fient it just comes out of nowhere. skelton huffing and puffing hmmm why am i doing this ....oh yea practice.

10-9 to skelty 39-37

[Vantage_West]

round 5:o big brawl what the hell out of nowhere they are goign at it both stuck to each other...at fucking last

i think sprott hurt him? just becuase he fell foreward and seemed a bit not sure where he was. matt doing his "oous""oous" 48-47

[Vantage_West]

round 6: nah sprott doesnt wanna be there he is just coming foreward clinching and when skelton walks foreward he backsup and puts his hands up and just seems to say fuck it

round 12:dire dire dire performance sprott runs he is turning his back he doesnt want to be here.oh big combo when i said.. that end of fight 11 i have 117-111

MAJORITY DECISION!!!!!

[hopkinsfan07]

a draw on a score card what a joke i had it 11 rounds to 1

[mike007]

Who won?

[Vantage_West]

i had it back and fourth for the first 6 rounds but only becuase of the jab of sprott gave sprott 3 rounds

[Vantage_West]

skelton wins by sprotts poor poor poor performance

[DamonD]

I had it 119-109 Skelton.

I cannot believe how staggeringly inept two of those judges were. I think the 117-113 was generous as it was...how in the name of Bonaparte's balls do you give Sprott 6 rounds? I thought he didn't even win 6 minutes.

agreed :good

[TAM83]

I fucking hate the british HW's!!:fire

A world title fight for the winner? ahahahahahaha

That fight was a joke and these domestic HW fights are a farce.

[scurlaruntings]

Ian John Lewis is an arse.How he could score the fight 114-114 a draw is beyond me.He was either wearing shades or looking at the wrong bout.As for Sprott he reaffirmed what iv thought of him.His nothing more than a journeyman with a journeymans mentality.He simply turned up as a sparring partner and paced himself for 12 rounds as he`d clearly done zero cardio and didnt want to get manhandled again by Skelton like he did in there 1st bout.I mean the guy was running round the ring like it was track meet! Throughly pathetic and grossly inconsistent.As i said before his win over Audley although a decent win meant very little in the grand scheme of things.

[DamonD]

Ian John Lewis is an arse
It was him, was it? Christ on a bike, that was terrible...does he own shares in Sprott or something? And who was the slightly less deranged lunatic that scored it 115-114?

I think Skelton might get a shot at a Chagaev or Ibragimov. Altho, I've seen no evidence to suggest he could beat either.

I thought he didn't even win 6 minutes.back and fourth in 6 rounds it was sprott first then skelton then skelton then sprott then skelton then sprott and then all skelton...sprotts jab on the outside was good and it kept him at bay but these were by tiny margines but nice on the comment:good

[scurlaruntings]

And who was the slightly less deranged lunatic that scored it 115-114?I cant even remember.Ians score for stuck out by a mile.His a shit ref anyway.Boxing needs a red/yellow card rule.If the action lulls to badly penalise them and dock there pay as they used to in the old days.If the fight gets really bad then red card by disqualification.That fight was a load of pish.Glad i didnt go.

you could tell his left hook wasnt working and his jab was good but gettign countered by another jab from skelton so it was a skelton all the way shockingly bad

[DamonD]

Skelton really had Sprott's jab scoped pretty early on, so by the second half of the fight he was slapping a lot of them aside with his glove.

When your jab is getting pushed away and your haymakers are getting dodged by Matt f'ing Skelton of all people, you are screwed. Sprott loaded up on the counter and hoped he would get in an Audley Killer, but Skelton was simply too aware and too durable for that limited gameplan. Major disappointment.

Major disappointment.Thats because Sprott stayed purposely on the backfoot and only really pawed with the jab to his chest.Every time he threw it and tried to double up his jab fell short and thats why Skelton was able to parry it with ease.He didnt commit to anything in this bout and has done himself a massive injustice with such a passive and dismal performance.

[Charles187]

I bet David Hayes rubbing his hands after watching that shit!

haye would kill any heavy from england

[Charles187]

haye would kill any heavy from england

I dont even think hed waste his time getting in with them at this point. If he beats Mormeck he can write his own ticket in the heavys.

[scurlaruntings]

I bet David Hayes rubbing his hands after watching that shit!Dont get it twisted both men can be a handful when they are ready.And theres no way David could brawl close with them as both men would be too much for him in the clinch.But from the outside he should be able to pick either man off with relative ease and possibly get a late stoppage.

[stake501]

One thing i will say for skelton is it seems like hes got a really rock solid chin. Does anayone know if he has ever been knocked down or out.

He likes to hug doesnt he.

Haye will not wasate any time with the other british heavys though.

I still like skelton though, although all his fights seem the same in yuour face dirty mauling style.

i dont think any heavy in the world would enjoy fighting him.

[Decy]

The main thing that will stay in my mind from this fight was Frank Bruno
at ringside he must of been thinking if only i was about these days.IMO he would be so far ahead domesticaly(always had trouble spelling that)
and would be a real player at world level.If this is the best the UK can offer we should forget the heavys and thank god for JC & RH lets hope
Haye lives up to his potential.

i dont think any heavy in the world would enjoy fighting him.His been KO`ed in K1 bouts.Le Banner knocked him out and im pretty sure if my memory serves me right the action was standing up and was mostly punches.This being said his chin does seem very sound to me.

[blueballs1978]

It was a dreadful fight. I am sure I had better fights with my wee brother when we were 7 and 8.

[killerkai1]

How would Bruno do against eother of those guys?

[killerkai1]

Sorry, either
