    I think Bell's a decent fighter but i think this fight is a real tough first defence. Haskins has the ability to frustrate his opponent with his style and looked a decent talent early on in his career but recently at different weights he's looked like a fighter thats lost his way. I was at the Munyai fight and that was a total mismatch, The Napa fight started well for Haskins but Napa smartly found a way to win rounds and take away strengths. I do question if haskins really wants it enough or is he another boxer thats better at posing then fighting. His last fight he looked average but i think if he can get back to his style from the start tonight then i see a difficult fight for bell. Bell will have to start well and use a lot of fients and good jab to break haskins and use combonations to win otherwise Haskins will frustrate bell and i could see a scrappy fight as haskins seems to get wild and ragid. My head says Haskins by UD my heart says Bell by Stoppage 9-11 rounds!!!

    This one really isn't setting my pulses racing.

    I fancy Haskins, although he's not reliable or consistent. He's southpaw, he's unorthodox, he's got the power with him in this fight. He's also fought in better class, whereas Bell's competition is woeful.

    lool totally agree, i can't see this being a domestic dust up for the ages but you never know. Haskins Naz style i think will win him the fight i'm not sure if he will ko Bell but i agree he got the power to.

    I have been to watch these two guys a few times. Both bring a few fans so the atmosphere should be good. I think Haskins will win by maybe late stoppage but it all depends on how well he can adapt to Bells height and if he can throw more than one punch at a time without leaving himself totally open to counters. This could be a good scrap or a hugging match with banging heads.

    i'll be supporting bell because
    1. haskins is a nob
    2. bell is a fellow donny lad and proudly wears rovers shorts in the ring (just hope he doesn't perform like them!)

    i've even predicted a bell ud in the league when realistically he's probably going to get stopped in 4.
