What a great chance for Lee to shine and on a fantastic stage, He challenges Caballero for the IBF title on the Alvarez/Cotto bill in Vegas.

Thoroughly deserved big stage and here's hoping he does himself proud.

I rate Caballero but he has had some injuries and who knows how he will come back from those.

Huge risk for Caballero coming back straight into a big fight against such a tricky guy.

Hope Lee does it.
Got a feeling Randy won't be 100% after his injury. He's had a few setbacks.

I think the Sanigars need to get themselves some thug life t-shirts the way they are bossing it at the mo.

3 amazing fights on this card already! Great stuff.

Tricky fight for Randy so soon after injury, Haskins is a great lad thoroughly deserves a big stage like Canelo-Cotto.

Be rooting for Lee but I believe Randy beats him. Still gives Lee some mainstream exposure and hopefully introduce him to a wider audience.

Brill opportunity for him here.

Good luck Lee

Brilliant ! Was wondering when this would be announced.

With so much time out for Caballero I fancy Lees chances. Caballero looked very one dimensional v Hall though it was a quality fight.

Agree about Cabellero looking a bit one dimensional but I'm not sure if Haskins beats him tbh. Haskins is as awkward as they come but he can be outworked and Cabellero seems to have a good work rate. I really hope Haskins pulls it off though. Great chance for him and long overdue IMO! He'll need a career best performance to pull it off on the night. Brilliant news.

If Haskins win then him and McDonnell surely deserve to be among the top contenders for British fighter of the year...

100% Either one of them for British fighter of the year. Hopefully if Haskins wins lets get the unification fight on.

That would be something! Who would've predicted that a year or two ago!?

Superb fight on one of the best cards in ages,i really hope Haskins can pull it off but he's up against it away from home,1 thing for certain is Lee will give Caballero problems that Hall couldnt give him,Caballero is a tough fighter and solid but he's pretty predictable and Haskins is a nightmare for anyone as long as he's not hurt,his confidence will be soaring after the Iwassa KO,the worry is the judges wont like Haskins style and Randy will get all the close rounds with his marching forward all night

Both come so far in such a short space of time. Great that both hold world titles, very good fight. I'd have McDonnell by decision.

Oh, the kiddy who fought Hall, him.

Hmmm.
Caballero pts.

Haskins is a good kid, he may have the sneaky power to shock Caballero on the big stage.

Just realised that by the time of the fight Caballero would be inactive for over a year since he won the IBF title. Didn't Jamie McDonnell get stripped of the same belt inside 5 months?

Boxing's not a sport to watch if you value consistency and logical and ethical governance.

Very true. It is ridiculous how McDonnell was treated, especially as at the time many thought it would probably be the only World title he would win. However, he has improved immeasurably since then, and looks the real deal.
