Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-05-14, pretty boring fight between Lee Haskins and Ivan Morales: it gets two stars.The Ibf Bw champion Lee Haskins entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 32-3-0 (14 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.3 bantamweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Shinsuke Yamanaka). He fought twice last year defeating Omar Lamiri (=Haskins vs Lamiri) and Ryosuke Iwasa (=Iwasa vs Haskins).
His opponent, Ivan Morales, has an official record of 29-1-0 (17 knockouts) and he entered as the No.75 in the same weight class. He fought three times in 2015 winning over Danny Flores and Manuel Jimenez but between these two bouts he lost to Edgar Jimenez (by majority decision). Haskins vs Morales is valid for the IBF World bantamweight title (Haskins’ first defense). Watch the video and rate this fight!

A bit sped up, I know that’s the easiest and quickest way to upload but it robs the viewer to gage a fighters true speed, defense, and timing. Anyway cheers for the upload.
Really happy for Lee Haskins remember when he started out as a prospect bk in 05 but made the mistake of asking to face a guy who came as a unknown late replacement from S Africa called Tshifiwa Munyai and stopped another prospect in Martin Power and Was beating up good fighters in the UK, Haskins put up a decent fight but was bludgeoned and stopped from then on his form changed and went a bit down hill with the Jamoye loss years later. Let’s hope he gets better with the title he luckily won on the scales against Caballero who imo would’ve stopped him, luckily things turned out in his favor. Hope he makes a bit of money now, the guy really came up the hard way and deserves it.
