NICE 1!
Martin is a mate of mine.
He is gona win and IT will a tough fight.
Martin's very determined to win the british belt back and has been training non stop to achieve this.
I predict the points win as Napa anit no push over and wont give up his belt easily but i have placed a few quid on the late stoppage.

Round 10 :50/1
Round 11 :50/1
Round 12 :66/1

I see it going to points but ya never know.I know Powers up for this!!!

How do you know? I assume you are either a) Martin Power or b) a relative of his. I know there is at least another person like you on here who starts Martin Power threads and then disappears. I don't care either way but if you are Martin Power or are a relative of his, why not share any extra info you have with the rest of us.

When you say
"I know there is at least another person like you on here who starts Martin Power threads and then disappears."

Am i not allowed to start a thread and when have i disapeared ?

The reason i started this thread "poll" was because i wanted to know who everyone thought was going to win.

BUT if your looking for any extra infor then take this and believe me when i say this.

MARTIN POWER is winning the british title tonight.

I hope your right MPG. I've got Power for this myself and having a small flutter on it at betfair. I predict Power winning on points again but wider this time. Munyai would be a nightmare for anyone so we can't be too harsh on Power.

I managed to get good odds on Power at betfair, 20/21, considering Ladbrokes for example had him at 8/13!

From where I'm sitting, Napa's got worse and Haskins 27 so he could surely of only got better.. unless getting stopped twice took something away from him, but don't kid yourself in to thinking Napa would of got anything else then KO'd by that Munyai guy.

Hardly spanked by Haskins.

Haskins Is a no talent trying to fight like a talent.

I think Haskins is a poor mans Carl Froch and loses when the big one fails to connect.

Does Power still use "too much power" after his losses? - Napa will win on sheer workrate - Looking forward to it.

I meant Naz but he has a little Froch In him too.

Betfair have Power at evens right now. Get on to it.

i favour napa to do enuff this time.

lol, I'm no fan of Haskins, much perfer Napa, I even bet on Napa in the very fight, Napa was getting clearly beat at the start of it.

Napaaaaaaa!

did he win?

He out classed Power 10 rounds to 2 on my score.

Power's too one dimensional and mostly covered up like Earl does. Is this the typical Eames fighter?

I thought it was much closer then 10-2, major difference was confidence..

Hope Napa doesn't fight Munyai, can't seem him with a chance their.

Ian Napa's been wicked from day.

Only problem was robberies and focus.

Congratulations Napa! He dominated from start to finish and definitely made Power sag a few times with some stinging shots upstairs and down. Chuffed for the nearly man come champion - (he was badly robbed against callaghan) and hope he continues his sucess next year. As for Martin Power maybe he tried too hard if thats possible - he was missing with so many shots and cant remember him catching Napa clean too often whilst he was taking plenty bang on the chin. A tough gutsy fighter Power but hard to see where he can go from here.....

I honestly can't see that Hairy.

Napa dominated that fight. Even when Power was coming forward Napa was excellent defensively. I love that cross guard of his.

I don't think confidence came into it. It just looked to me as if Power didn't know what to do with what was in front of him.

I got this so wrong. Napa was excellent tonight, he has to be one of the best defensive fighters Britain has at the moment. Even in close, it was Napa who was the stronger! Power just couldnt land and when he did they had no effect. It amused me Eames telling Power that if he won the last round he may win the fight, he was miles off a victory. Trainer motivation I suppose.

Napa looks like his punching power has came on alot and it looked like he hurt Power on a number of occasions to the body. His record stats just don't do him justice.

I had Napa eight points up.

Yeah, Napa had more in the tank than I gave him credit for. He is as fresh as a daisy. The manner of his win here does show how tricky Lee Haskins can be to nail - if he got his arse into gear.

Where are you now...?

I didnt want you to think that i had disapeared.What can i say.

Napa had the best night of his career and power had an off night,maybe down to ringrust.The scores were abit off,i had it closer.
Wouldnt it be a great rematch to watch.1 - 1 at the moment.
He will get him in the rematch.

Didn't see it as I don't yet have Sky sorted in my new place but was surprised Napa won it so comfortably (although I did give him the nod in the first fight). By the sounds of it Napa has his number now and I'm not sure he has that much to gain from a third fight.
