    I believe this will be a good British title fight. Napa is a lot better than his record suggests and I tip him to take a close decision.

    I think this is a 50/50 fight so could go either way.

    Will probably go the distance with Napa edging it.

    I'd also go for Napa to edge this one .

    Both are very average but deserving. Napa seems to be getting the press/fans push at the moment but I pick Haskins, I just think that he is better than Napa.

    :-( Bit harsh Wilson both are very skilful in their own right but not world class. Boxers don't need to be world class to be good!!!!! :good

    :good word on that.

    napa is skillful as hell but has so little power he can smack you and give you a wake up call but nothing more than a nose breaker at most.

    it's a shame becuase his style can be very entertaining.

    haskins though is very good for a domestic fighter decent power decent speed very good basics just doesnt have the natural talent.

    Haskins was hilarious to watch early in his career. A no talent, attempting to fight like a super-talent.

    How big of a favorite was Napa going into the fight -questionmark-

    You southerners don't af speak Hyper, the accents on Napa and Haskins were very hyper.

    haskins actually looked quite good for the first 3 rounds but he was trying to ko napa with pretty much every punch and was looking knackered by the 4th. pity he got that hand injury as i would have liked to see how it went over the full 12.

    i think i had it even by the time he was retired by his corner.

    btw i wouldn't mind supporting haskins if he didn't have that ugly attitude and act like a complete wanker.

    and how cool did the little fella look coming into the ring!

    I'll be very interested to see how serious the 'injury' was..... Haskins didn't want to quit but the hand seemed to injure around the same time Napa began to catch up with him!

    Funny how he couldn't move his whole arm one bit seeing as it was a hand injury. He didn't look to be in any pain or discomfort at any point, but did seem to fall apart when he didn't get the quick win. A retirement due to injury sure looks a lot better on the record than a KO loss to a guy who's never stopped anybody before.....
