does Hall have a hidden agenda here?

Dropped him off the card with 3 days to go,trained hard for a good comeback "show em" fight to get dropped at last minute,I for one lost money on hotel but pittance to what stuey had spent on training.but every cloud has a silver lining and he's now got a shot for the EBU belt,gonna be a very good fight and sky will be missing out

Haskins was pretty entertaining on Eurosport when he beat Bouleghcha and he won PrizeFighter more easily than I can remember anyone else winning it.

Haskins and Hall are both talented British fighters and this fight is considerably better than a lot of the fights that main event Sky, allegedly or Channel 5. This fight really should be shown by someone.

Should add that Maloney without doubt felt he made the right decision,after all business is business and we all have to cut costs,even if its at the expense of others.

Disagree on that one, imo Lee has fought better Boxers, they both fought Jamie McDonnell, Ian Napa..Haskins fought and got beat by Tshifhiwa Munyai in 2006 which i think is the best on either record.... Haskins beat Jamie McDonnell....
Really looking forward to this one Hall is Massive and Really strong at the weight Both love a good Punch up

Haskins didn't fight on Sky for almost two years after his stinker against Broadhurst and his return was in a Prizefighter.

They might not call it a blacklist, but I don't think they were willing to show him, even though he was the British and Commonwealth champion.

Haskins-Broadhurst must be up there as one of the worst main events Sky have broadcast

Yes, it was very bad, although it was not a bad fight on paper beforehand.

As boring as it was I did enjoy Broadhurst being put in his place. Don't forget some of Rob Norton fights on Sky.

Its a shame that this fight wont be shown because it is a very good fight. Hopefully someone will pick it up.

Ron norton is very hard to watch.

Shame that this won't actually be televised!! Barring a couple of rounds at best. Shame when it'll probably be the best fight on the bill. This is why C5 coverage needs to be longer, or the undercard needs to be shown on one of their sister channels first OR a stream on their website! Think I'll e-mail 'em..

I'm a friend of stu s and fan of haskin s like the way he goes about his business hard o e too call

With all the boxing at the weekend this seems to have flown under the radar a bit, I realise it could end up being a bit of a stinker but the potential is there for a decent close fight if
Hall can get into punching range before Lee is gone.

Hall should be much the bigger man come fight night you would assume but Haskins seems to have found a new lease of life lately, intrigues me this fight.

Glad you brought it back up,

Got me beers in the fridge ready for the boxing marathon come saturday, great night of boxing, got em both on sky plus ready to go lol, fury, Hall, Brook....can't wait

This is the fight i'm looking forward to more than any other on Saturday night.....just want to see Hall with the belt!

This is a hard fight for me to pick I lke haskin and I'm an old friend of stu hall from our meetin back on 1999 aba bantam weight Haskins is big at the weight stu makes the weight right can win but Haskins is so hard to hit has hall ever boxed anyone who fights like haskin s no do if he can land his shots he win if not its a crap grab and hold borein 12 fight

I take it C5 are showing the Fury and Haskins-Hall fights live then?

Last time they did Fury and Eubanks Jnr if memory serves with about 5 mins of Witter/Lynes, so not sure what they will do this time

Gutted this isn't going to be shown live on TV, on paper it's a real old-school trade fight.

Has anyone seen any odds for this fight? I like Hall in this.

I like Hall in this too. As has been said, he is going to look huge next to Haskins. Should be a nice clash of styles though (or as good a clash of styles that I can think of in a fight involving Haskins)

Hall is a good lad but seemed a little one dimensional; he's seems a very likable lad but; for me; if Haskins has been in the gym, (it must be hard to keep motivated been so inactive), Lee wins. Hope they don't cancel each other out. (Both Haskins and Broadhurst are exciting fighters to watch but put together are a bad mesh of styles and tempraments). Hall has a more direct approach than Broadhurst and I think this will be a good scrap.
