Don on points, too quick too slick

 

Haskins by KO ....step up for Broadhurst ...Haskins 4/1 way too big

 

Haskins on points. Too experienced and too Bristolian (we have to nuthug our own):deal.

I fancy Don to step up to the plate for a stoppage win...:yep

 

Think Broadhurst will find Haskins a little awkward early on. But with his slick movement,shap jabs and hooks will totally outbox Haskins. I see a demoralised Haskins being stopped on his feet around the 10th. Tough kid though so a pnts win for Don would do.

 

Please let it be Don.

I have an irrational hatred of Haskins :twisted:

 

A major super-flyweight duel takes place this week between Don Broadhurst and Lee Haskins. Two big titles are at stake. “The Don” holds the Commonwealth belt; Haskins, the British.
This is obviously intriguing. Haskins carries a clout - in an unorthodox way - but his stamina is suspect. Broadhurst is much more conventional - in a classy way - can do 12 rounds at a canter, although he is not a banger.
Haskins won the British title in a horribly scrappy affair with Andy Bell late last year (points) but looked sharper and more comfortable at super-flyweight with a four-round stoppage of Ross Burkinshaw in his first defence earlier this year. He had been up to bantamweight for a couple of years prior to the Bell maul.
Still just 26, the cocksure Bristol switch-hitter has lost only two of his 21 outings, to ‘names fighters Ian Napa and South Africa’s Tshifhiwa Munyai (both times when he ran out of steam), and represents a step up in class for the unbeaten Broadhurst, 11-0 (3), whose record was dotted with the usual suspects prior to a smart 12-round decision over Ghanaian iron man Isaac Quaye and two subsequent defences, both stoppage wins.
Dedicated and clever, the 25-year-old Broadhurst will look to drag the dangerous Haskins into the later rounds; he will know all about Haskins’ early-round power; Lee has taken out 10 of his 19 beaten opponents (a lot for a small man), eight of them inside four rounds. However, Haskins must find it difficult to get down to super-flyweight whereas Broadhurst is a former amateur flyweight star for whom super-flyweight looks perfect.
If Haskins has also ‘found’ his natural division, his experience and power will prove a real handful for Broadhurst, who doesn’t look physically strong and relies on fitness, good movement, combinations and body shots to wear down his opponents. He sets a hot pace.
While I expect this to be desperately close, my tip is Brummie stylist Broadhurst.

 

Haskins may cause Broadhurst a few problems but Broadhurst will take over from the mid rounds and outclass Haskins to a wide UD.

Also anyone know why its listed on Sky as 8 or 8.30 start and on for an extra hour? Maybe showing some of the fights from the Khan bill they never showed??

 

lol

 

Has anyone ever read one of the bennie posts?

 

Haskins is a tricky little shite, mm, not an easy pick, gonna go for Haskins I think, by points

 

I pick Broadhurst but I think he isn't a huge favorite in this one. He is the skilled boxer but Haskins hits harder and I think Haskins has the power to hurt Broadhurst. Very intriguing and exciting fight: a result inside the distance wouldn't be a surprise by me.
