Napa v Haskins on Sky

Will Napa hang on to his title against the Witter/Froch style fighter? - He has absolutely no punch power whatsoever but lands many punches cleanly every round to win fights on points - I think this might be an entertaining fight but its a poor top of the bill IMO.

I think Haskins pulls out a win...Would martin power be in line for a shot at his old title after this fight.

I think its a cracking little fight and not sure who will win to be honest. Napa may find Haskins speed a problem at times but will Haskins be able to keep him off for the second half of the fight. Napa will keep coming and must be buzzed about winning the title so he may find another 10 per cent on his performance. Looks to be very close this one.

Normally the Bristol boys read the forum it would be interesting to see what they have to say, always been honest with there assessments of there guys fights, would value that opinion here before I lose a few bob on Friday.

Obviously don't want to give too much away but its a pretty fair assesment from GLOBALBOX. It should be a great fight will Napa be able to handle Haskins strength and speed or will Napa come on strong in the second half of the fight. All I'll say is training has gone well no problems and our man is in the best shape of his life, bang on the weight and ready for a hard 12 rounds if needed!

The ultimate in wild gambles this one. Haskins has been out since a six-rounder in February (Napa had a 12-rounder in July), a long time out for a small man, and is still adjusting to the weight; Napa is clever but fights in spurts.
This could go any way. I'm reminded of an amateur clash between Willie DeWitt and Henry Tillman in Reno in 1983. DeWitt hit Tillman so hard he floored Tillman and the referee.
