See now I totally think Skelton is going to win.
Williams is in better condition no doubt, but he didn't exactly destroy Harrison
and Skelton is an actual fighter.....so Williams is gone in the 3rd

Khan didn't even break into a sweat did he? Looked impessive and landed some cracking shots but seemed like a total mismatch of skills. Still yet to see him be really tested with a lengthy fight but when it happens it will be a classic.
And what a bloater Naz still is

What a bloody fantastic fight 
That 12th round was brilliant Skelton had the better of the first half of the contest and maybe the 2nd half except the 12th round but his dirty tactics for me ruined what he was achieving. Williams should have finished him in the 12th and then the split decision wouldn't have happened but hell I hope they get it together for a 2nd bout as it was the best heavy weight fight I have seen for ages

Yep at least 2 points and thats why I think it was the right decision Willimas got it, the way he was going he could have had a point a round deducted. As the ITV commentators said, if that was in the US he would pretty much have been disqualified for his repetitve illegal tactics.

I watched a fight from the States last night and one of the fighters was disqualified. Low blows, rabbit punches and use of the elbow. The guy got 2 formal warnings, 1 point deducted and then disqualified.
Skelton did all that plus constant use of the head.

What it does do is cause a lot of debate and make it a controversial decision which she should make it much more likely for a soonish rematch which all the fans will want.
I don't think either of them are classy enough to be Heavy Weight Champion of the World but then there arn't any classy big name fighters in the weight currently anyway. Gone are the days of Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Bruno and Lewis style entertainment and I think it will be a long time before the sport returns to that great entertainment of the 90's. Although last nights fight was definately a step in the right direction.
