And so this is it....the massive fight that Matt Skelton decided to take instead of a World title fight against Oleg Maskaev. The barnstorming moneymaker that will make both these fellows household names. Excuse me for my sarcasm, but I just think Skelton has dropped the ball on this one big time.
For Audley, this is clearly a very good fight for him. He takes on a 39 year old brawler turned boxer, and not a very convinving boxer at that, for his old belt. The fact that he ever held the belt at all is really a sad indictment of what that title has become, a stepping stone.
For Skelton, he seems to believe that the Commonwealth strap is, however, the pinnacle of his career, and has settled never to have a world title shot, or that he will be to old when that shot comes around, and he needs all the money he can when it does. In general, a very disappointing choice for Matt Skelton and a final crack at some sort of credibility for Fraudley, which he certainly doesn't deserve.

Roll on the saviour of the British heavyweight division....jsut make it soon.
