What an amazing fight! 8)
2 warriors went in to that ring tonight. Danny the fighter turned up instead of the weak excuse that i saw get hammered into the ground by Sanin Samil Sam a few years ago.
I know Skelton was dirty but i still had him winning by a round or two at the end :?
This fight was a great advert for British boxing. At a time when the world heavyweight division is on it's knees, this was a shining light. Well done to both of them! :thumbsup:

absolute belter!
skelton is a classic bruiser, dirty, fouls all over the place, but as the commentator said, it aint no tea party in there!
williams was in shape, looked classier than i have ever seen him, and properly walloped skelton about in that last round
well enjoyed that, looking forward to the rematch:)

Totally agree! I wanted Skelton to win but as the fight went on i realised Williams is in the best shape i've seen him in. It's just a pity his head is a bag of marbles at times :?
It would have been a travesty if the fight had been stopped in the last round, even though Skeltons head was properly gushing for a while. I thought Williams was going to end it for a few seconds though.

Enjoyed the fight - did think Skelton had it though, althogh I guess the last round won it for Williams.
His corner man demanded "the best three minutes of your life" from Danny before the 12th, and it was certainly just about his best round ever.

This was one of the greatest British Heavyweight fights which Ive seen for a long time......Williams looked like he'd been training hard since the Harrison fight and took it to SKelton. I thought SKelton deserved it though, even though he got cut bad in the last round.
Did anybody see Amir Khan, he any good?
Amir looked class again. Head and shoulders above the teacher :)
Saw the second half of Wiliams / Skelton in the pub last night. Everbody laughed when Williams got the verdict.
Seriously though, compared to these two, Joe Bugner was a class act.
Skelton vs. Williams was a top fight to watch, very close too i thought. Skelton was as dirty as hell but it made for great viewing - and to think i was expecting a repeat of williams vs. harrison!
