I have to admit I wasn't impressed with Haskins at all, especially considering he's supposed to be world class. His defense and movement isn't half as good as he thinks it is. He was getting caught with the same straight shots all night. He didn't deserve that decision. The commentators kept saying it was a close fight and it all depends on what you like but unless what you like is one guy getting hit clean, with his hands down and his head snapped back all for 12 rounds, Haskins didn't do enough to win the fight legitimately, even if he was the champion. If Haskins doesn't start getting his hands up or drastically improving his head and/or foot movement, anyone with power and timing will crush him. The UK has a lot of world class boxers and legitimate world champions but guys like Haskins and Flanagan still have a lot to prove.
