Friday night, at the Newport Centre in Newport, Wales, Frank Maloney in association with Chris Sanigar hosted a 12-bout fight card which headlined the two-title clash between Lee Haskins and Don Broadhurst.

There was no love lost between these two boxers in the pre-fight run-up which guaranteed action inside the ring.

Although he only has an 11 fight pro record – Broadhurst boxed 42 times for England in the amateurs.

Haskins – with the ‘twitchy’ awkward style of boxing – makes the first move but by mid-way through round one Referee Marcus McDonnell is already warning both men for hitting round back of head. This would be the first of many ‘stops’ by McDonnell. Haskins ‘teases’ with the long right arm then jumps in with the left. Broadhurst takes his time sussing out Haskins in the first couple of rounds.

Now i'm not the greatest when it come to rules of the ring.

Haskins is a dirty fighter. On many occasions the referee could have docked points for continuing to fight after the ref shouts break. Must have happened about 10xs. Every time you could see Broadhurst laughing and acting like WTF. Also on a number of occasions Haskins would punch the back of Broadhurst's head, the ref did warn Haskins but surly after the third time of doing so, some action should have taken place.

The fight was terrible because Haskins was able to do as he liked.
