How fit is Caballero? He had the operation in March so he should have recovered by now but it was a serious injury and to go from that straight into a hard training camp isn't ideal preparation.

No idea - I'd heard rumours that he'd had complications so fully expected to see Haskins elevated to full champion over the summer. Could still happen I guess if Caballero can't make the date.

You were spot on Scabbers.

Although during Paul Dempsey's This is Your Life, he did say that he sensed an ability to hurt Iwasa in the first two, and that's why he fought without much care for conservation. Good luck to him - it paid off, but that's something that his future opponents can take heart from. Work him down the stretch. I fancied Iwasa to nick it until that punch. He took it well, though; respect to the man.

I just spat my stir-fry out reading that line

Its bloody true though,how many times did Dempsey ask Haskins and Sanigar the same questions, I made a cup of tea,had a piss,came back and it still continued for 15 minutes

A cracking fight and a cracking performance from Haskins. He's waited a long time for this and really put it together when it counted. Lee got off to a good start, but things looked like they were going to get very tough when BANG Brilliant finish to an excellent fight.

Well done Haskins and Congratulations to Chris and Jamie who've back him from the beginning.
