Lee Haskins-Ryosuke Iwasa --- Sat/Channel 5. Fact.

Iwasa is 19-1 (12 ko's). His only defeat coming four years ago against current unbeaten WBC champion and Ring ranked no.1 bantamweight Shinsuke Yamanaka.

No disrespect to Haskins but the simplest way to describe him is a poor man's Naz without the power, speed or fluidity. He's been duffed up a few times when stepping up in class (remember back in the day when Ian Napa started to do a number on him and he quit the corner stopped it because he damaged his hand).

Not much footage of Iwasa on youtube but enough to see he looks pretty useful. A southpaw who is six years younger than the 31-year-old Haskins, has a couple of inches in height (nothing new to Haskins) and a five inch reach advantage.

Obviously Haskins has home advantage which could play a massive factor as ever. This is for some interim IBF bollocks.

However, the bookies make the Japanese fella the 11/8 underdog.

Haskin is fighting on free TV that is all that matters. He will win and become a future star.

I was being sarcastic, can't you tell. :)

I like Lee Haskins, he's from the westcountry.

I like Chris Sanigar, he's from the westcountry and coming back form Cancer like he has is very inspiring.

I like Rocky Christian (Haskins lucky cornerman), he's proper westcountry because he is from Plymouth.

I also love Japan and Iwasa may well be too much for Haskins. I did have a brilliant joke about Pasties and sushi but have forgotten it now. Any way I shall be watching, Ale in hand whatever happens.

Get on bey

Yeaaaah totally.

*Ok I'll admit that this time I thought it might have been an oversight on your part.

All that matters is it's free? This undercard is complete and utter fucking pony. Subscription/PPV me up for a bit of quality any day of the week

Shut up I am watching Big Brother, it is so crap.

Opponents for the house fighters so far - two eastern europeans that will be back to work on a London building site come Monday morning and a fat Kenyan whose age is listed as 26 but is clearly 36.

It is on at 10 do not spoil it for me.

Although I don't blame you for not watching boxing for once, isn't Spike on freeview?

It was on Spike. Fenster's post saying 'it's on Spike' was the main clue ;) .

Went off air at 9.30.
Was utter garbage. And Young Fury put me off my dinner.

OK did not miss anything then.

Yeah what was up with young Fury's skin? Looked like a leper

You can't argue that this is a genuine world title even though it's an interim because the champ is injured. Makes perfect sense. Shameless.

Not having a bet on this but would definitely back Iwasa in this. Surprised he is the underdog.

He did not carry off that 'let's get this party staaaaaaaarted!'
That was not good. He weren't selling it and I weren't buying it.

I backed Iwasa at 11/8 (obviously). Was pleased to see all that go. Haskin's doesn't know the favour iv'e done him

It is free stop complaint, you are spoiling the party for me.

Sounds like a good atmosphere and Has kin won the first.

Haskins staggers him in round 2.
Interesting. Haskins swinging from the hip.

3-0 Haskins but he can't miss like that all night. Iwasa surely will start to see them coming and time him.

Iwasa round. 3-1.

I got it 3-1 Haskins. Easy rounds to score

Haskins - Napa 2.

Iwasa for me there.

3-2 Haskins

Haskins gunna get stopped. He fights like an idiot. No defense and everything into each shot

3-2...oh shit

There is me eating humble pie

Actually I think Haskins might win by KO. Just had a funny feeling.

Oh it's happened!

That was some left hand. He played the lottery and won there. The tide was turning big time and he was looking a little tired n then produced a crackin shot. Well done to him.

I hate that Dempsey just called him a world champion. Interim champions are not world champions. Big win but don't take the piss

I ai'nt the tree tome saddo prediction comp champ for nothing

Haskins is bloody awful to watch, but this time round he looked good well done Lee Haskins
interim IBF Champion.:)

Haskin is quality

Westcountry, westcountry, la la la!
