Skelton made me eat my hat. Thought te younger, fitter Dallas would be too quick and well, too young for him.
But it was man vs boy. I don't think in many other fights that would have been a stoppage, but Dallas didn't look like he wanted to be in there. I was surprised he came out for that last round, he didn't look like he wanted to.
Shit Dallas got K.O'd?? He's fucked now..was it a bad stoppage or something?
Oh and what happened, Dallas was trying to do a rope-a-dope, but looked more like he wanted to just lay back and chill, Skelton hugged him and landed some clubs. Ref stepped in.Quote:

Not bad for a 45 year old!
That was beautiful that's what that was.
Don't fuck about on the ropes with the big ugly bear.
I was shouting "stop it ref, stop it!!!!"
That was a fighter (Dallas) looking for a way out. Dallas fucking sucks. And he's always sucked. The desperation of certain people for a good fighter led to this clown once being labeled a prospectQuote:

Dallas' problem is he's lazy, not saying he'd ever be great but he should have been able to beat the likes of Skelton. Especially a 40 odd year old version! As soon as the fighters were announced I said Dallas didnt look fit.
He was on the ropes straight from the off and that's the last place to be against Skelton, he will bull forwar all night. Someone with dallas' size advantages should have been able to keep it long range and beat Skelton using straight punches, throwing in the occasional uppercut for good measure.
No timing, no co-ordination, no punch resistance, no heart.....from the looks of it no career either now.
Dallas had a gift 3 fights ago, then took a late notice bout against Price (saving the show and payback for his gift decision no doubt) Price fight could have been big money in 12 months if both kept winning. He has looked very sloppy, he has also looked ok on occasion but I can't see him getting another chance not for a long time anyway, still so young too. What a waste. Even the Sky guys said they cant see anywhere for him to go.
Oh and he was on the piss a few months ago in a pub in Gillingham down the road from me at a UB40 tribute gig, I doubt that was one off lol
Dallas wanted out. Good performance from the 45 year old Skelton.
Skelton has always reminded me of Pernell, its the way he moves.Quote:

Never has a nickname been more fitting.
Good on Skelton, he just done what he does best, Dallas was a disgrace
against a 45 year old who hasnt fought for over a year .
People slate Skelton but I always rated him.
He also had a crack at the WBA and did well, he's a worker and should make the most of this win, I reckon he would beat fury and crap on price.
If ever you see a fighter wanting a way out it was Dallas, not taking anything from Skelton he's noQuote:
