Anyone tipping Skelton to upset Chagaev?

Unfortunately just about everything points to Chagaev.

No matter what you say about him the guy was a world amateur gold medalist so there is basic ability there at the very least. Also he is a southpaw which will make him awkward. Matt will try and brawl with him but I have the feeling that Chagaev will just stay out of the way, use his jab and get like a 119-109 UD victory.

I want Matt to win but my head has to say it will not happen.

Yeah I agree - you might as well bet on Forest Gump to win as Skelton

I think he will give his best effort ever but the judges aint going to be helping him at all and his best bet is to stop him. He knows this is his last ever shot at a title and if he loses its over, maybe this will boost him. I wish him luck but I dont think he will beat him.
