Skelton vs. Dallas (TKO & stoppage) WTF???

[armyash]

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.
