Easily the best ever Haskins fight I've seen. I worked with him when he first turned pro and he really is a genuine nice chap still stops for a chat etc... if i see him out and about. Gave me a black eye once after we had a little sparring session in work ha! ha! Lets just say i didn't try that again Not sure where he goes from here though, retire or fight a couple up and coming fighters for some extra money but risk losing his credibility if he loses.

Should have pulled him out possibly after the arm injury and defiantly after the 10th. Also what he was saying up until the last round to Haskins was a joke! He was as poor as the American judge who gave Haskins 10 rounds!! Couldn't disagree more with you mate,you only pull fighters out when they are hurt,haskins dispite getting well beaten never was. Sanigar on the other hand you are right,lovely bloke but Jesus he is clueless not just tonight but with other boxers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 If it's not an error and the judge filled in the card correctly, that's the worst points decision I've ever seen. He had Burnett winning two rounds, which, with the two knock downs, can't even be possible as they're 10-8 rounds anyway. Unbelievable.

yardy Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Not being mean or owt but i have never liked or rated Haskins as a fighter, sure he has skills and is a tricky fighter but that isn't enough for me. He doesn't have enough power and is never ruthless enough, which makes him boring to watch. I don't know where Haskins goes from here, he isn't a spring chicken, maybe retirement as i can't see him doing anything at world level now.

Bit harsh mate, the man is a Bristolian who defended his world title twice and he went out on his shield when it would have been very easy to pull out with the shoulder injury when he was looking at getting ktfo. Nothing but respect from me. Overall it was a very poor card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entitled to your opinion Yardy, but Haskins does have power, included winning his IBF title by 5th Round KO. I've watched him box live and on TV many times where he's won by KO. Whilst his tricky style never appeal to the masses, you got to respect the man, he's done things the hard way. Turned pro at 19 and fought often away or in poor leisure centres and sports halls due to Bristol having zero infrastructure. That takes balls and self determination in itself, especially when you see other IBF champions packing out their local state of the art arenas or getting Sky PPV. As for Saturday night he was getting soundly beaten in the first 4 rounds before his arm went. People criticisng Sanigar for his words in the corner, but as a world champion, you're never going to want to give up, even if it means fighting with 1 arm (Danny Williams and Malignaggi done it and won titles). Actually gained a lot more respect for him carrying on for the full 12 fair play. Even landed some flush punches in Round 12. He announced his retirement of Facebook later that evening however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Have a lot of respect for Haskins clearly not the most talented fighter but has achieved great things in his career. A lot of his fights have been boring though agree with Yardy on that. Good luck to him in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackbird Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 RIP Errol Christie. I remember his fight with Mark Kaylor, both floored (I think) and wobbled on numerous occasions before Kayor won in the eighth.. They genuinely detested each other at the time and neither went on to fufill their potential. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry may Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 In terms of style etc I thought Lee Haskins was Bristol's version of Kirkland Lang. Could be frustrating to watch but very skillful.Terrible news about Errol Christie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see a bit of justice in boxing for once. Will the fight result now be amended to 'unanimous'. Saw the judge at ringside. Very old, frail and was apparently asking what fighter Haskins was. I know we shouldn't be ageist, but boxing, just like football, is a business where records matter and can sell a fighter. Such a farce shouldn't be happening at world title level. Sort it out IBF. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. I do feel a bit sorry for the guy though, he must be mortified. Sounds like he's an experienced and reliable guy who has had a massive brainfart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it'll be next level shit talking followed by an embarrassing mismatch of a fight that will make an obscene amount of cash. McGregor is going to have Mayweather on toast prior to the bout, before getting done right in where it matters. Ricky Hatton looked like Oscar Wilde compared to PBF in the build up to their fight so I dread to think what McGregor will do to him haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARJ Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 The press conferences and build up will be absolutely hilarious, comedy gold. The fight itself however will be a farce. The most 1 sided thing you could ever witness (Stortz - I'm thinking similar to Mayweather v Gatti but worse). Interestingly a lot of pundits and online blogs backing McGregor to do something stupid to get himself disqualified but save face i.e. flying kick to the head at some point during the fight. No jokes. Sky also have Mayweather to win by DQ as evens. McGregor's ego is too big to accept a public humiliation, so this could be interesting if it pans out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Will be a staged fight. Will go for 6 rounds or so for entertainment before Mayweather wins. Easy 100mil for each fighter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my plan mate, although I assume Sky think he'll win on points rather than Round stoppage. Joke really. My personal opinion: I think McGregor will be pulled out or the Ref will stop it as Conor takes too much punishment. Genuinely think Floyd will be very aggressive in this fight.
