    There have been no medical reports of it being a hand injury , only the ring announcer claimed it as such(and that guy is full of mistakes) .

    Haskins mightn't be the most likable guy in the world but he does seem like he doesn't have much quit in him(even if he can be a little discouraged at times) and he wanted to continue .

    If you were getting hit in the face cause you weren't raising your right arm , then you'd raise your right ****ing arm . The only reason you wouldn't is if it's damaged.........

    Pleased Napa won his first defence.

    This is his first win that hasn't gone the distance!

    Haskin just quit. Napa is superior, to win rounds Haskins had to expend too much energy, then he quit.

    No, he quit.

    His style is ridiculous for someone with zero stamina. Every fight he fades after a few rounds, he's never stopped an opponent late on. He just knackers himself out with an inefficient style, over and over again.

    He had a slight niggle and used that as an excuse to be pulled out. Which was perhaps sensible given his chances of winning.

    Was quite a lively little fight at times. I gave the early rounds to Haskins but thought Napa improved more and more as it went on.

    Haskins didn't seem at all happy when his corner retired him but he wasn't really in any state to continue with one arm just hanging by his side.

    What do we think would have happened if Haskins hadn't hurt his arm? I would say Haskins was heading for defeat, without a doubt. It might sound inconceivable, but it looked to me like he was troubled by Napa's accuracy and dare I say it, power. Not to mention the fact that he looked tired.
    I hope that they have a rematch, it was just getting interesting....

    That's not strictly true , Peter Culshaw did end Napa's night early once , but I'm glad for Napa that he finally got to have a short night and be on the right side of things .

    I think Napa was starting to take over and may have even gotten a proper corner retirement with the regularity he was catching Haskins . Haskins had won the first 3 for me but Watt really is right when he says Haskins' style makes him run out of steam very quickly and against a guy like Napa who comes on strong as the fight progresses it just isn't going to work .

    If i was a Haskins fan, i would have been raging with him for how stupidly he fought. Everyone knows Napa is an experienced fighter who is great defensively, some of his moves are pure old school.

    In fact, I have changed my mind. Instead of going on about what Haskins did wrong just as I was about to, instead I will give credit to Napa. he fought brilliantly, making haskins miss time & time again whilst waiting until the right time to put the pressure on, & when he did Haskins simply came apart.

    The question is, how good could Napa have been if ONLY he had a decent dig? What a talented little fighter.

    Napa's styles simular to James Toney with the shoulder rolling and getting close or when he's on the ropes.:D
