I am Amazed. One of Britain's World Champs has just fought...

...on Saturday night and there's nothing here. Not even a nod to him.

Lee Haskins fought and successfully defended his IBF bantamweight title on terrestial TV and nobody noticed. How very sad. I like Haskins - he's a good honest pro with an unusual style yet hardly anyone knows who he is or that he has a world title. Granted he's not top drawer and his last fight was cancelled because his opponent had been to Wendy's beforehand but he finally got to properly defend his belt.

So well done Lee.

Didn't get a chance to see it but heard it was fairly comprehensive. Glad he got the win, fair play. Looks like a fight with Stuey Hall up next. With Ryan Farrag moving up the rankings too we could have a few domestic dust ups for the world belt soon.

No mention of Andrew Selby breaking a Welsh record either last night as far as I've seen. Very good prospect.

Yes - he was utterly relentless in his fight. At that pace he'll likely have a fairly short career but wow was he good!

His style is poor man's Nazeem Hamed.

It's not great to watch infact he looks clumsy doing it.

Has been a pretty unpleasant weekend with a hell of a lot of work to do and I'd forgotten entirely that haskind was fighting.

Most fights go unnoticed around here now. Think there are only 7 or 8 of thecmore celebrityvboxers that get discussed

It was a pretty dismal fight to watch to be honest.

I watched it and Haskins looked good imo

Won pretty clearly, really wish I had gone to watch it live but didn't know anything about it until recently

Selby also became British champ in his fifth fight, pretty dam good as well

I looked through Skysports and Boxnation to try and find this but couldnt see it. Forgot to check terrestrial - was it C5 or ITV?

It was on C5

I went. Left 8 or 9 rounds into the Haskins fight. Crowd was pretty sparse after the Selby fight and we jumped into the expensive seats. Enjoyed watching Selby, speed to burn and looked like he has a lot of quality.

Sounds like I missed a good scrap, leaving before the Craig Kennedy fight!
