Cheers Roe. I thought that's how you did it, but I didn't want to chance it incase it didn't work :lol:

Maxwell is naturally a lot bigger. Could pose a real test here

Vano-irons

Really good from Patterson. Maxwell looking very sluggish

Maxwell hasn't turned up at all tonight. I'd be very surprised if we see him in the ring again

His trainer was saying after the Mansouri fight that this will be his last season as he isn't the fighter he used to be.

Yeah I read that Max was considering retiring after the Mansouri fight. He did ok against Ocheing in December. Just don't think he fancied it at all tonight. Shame, as it could have been a big test

John McDermott is always very nervous before fights. He usually has a priest bless him before the ring walk. True story.

WAAAAAAAAAAR BIG BAD JOHN!!!

Skelton not starting at the pace I expected. McDermott landed a few solid straight rights over the top. 10-9 McDermott

Difficult round to score. I liked McDermott's workrate early, but thought Skelton nicked the round late.

29-28 Skelton

Vano-irons

· #54 · Mar 15, 2013

Much better from McDermott. He pushes Skelton back and lands three solid right hands. I have it level after 4

Vano-irons

· #58 · Mar 15, 2013

Good from McDermott! I have him 58-56 up. Wasn't such a low shot either IMO

Vano-irons

· #60 · Mar 15, 2013

A few solid jabs from McDermott. Even tripling it up. He is taking over IMO.

68-65 John

Vano-irons

· #64 · Mar 15, 2013

Really good from McDermott. In total control. That should have been scored a KD as the ropes held Skelton up.

Nonetheless, 78-74 McDermott

Have I called one spot on?

Vano-irons

· #67 · Mar 15, 2013

87-84, Skelton round for me. John has this in the bag tho.

Vano-irons

· #69 · Mar 15, 2013

Skelton takes the last two, but I have McDermott a 96-95 worthy winner. Pretty clear in my opinion

Vano-irons

· #72 · Mar 15, 2013

97-93, 97-94x2 all for the new English heavyweight champion, Big Bad John McDermott

But more importantly, I got one right! :happy
