Ryan Burnett Vs Lee Haskins

Lee Haskins, right, in action with Ryan Burnett at The Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Saturday (10/06). (Reuters Photo/Jason Cairnduff) Burnett vs. Haskins Was Scored Incorrectly: IBF. 2017 BOXING fight – Lee Haskins vs Ryan Burnett – full fight Video IBF Posted on 2017/06/10 ATBF full fight video Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-06-10, some good exchanges between Lee Haskins and Ryan Burnett but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two. Ryan Burnett on June 10th, LIVE on AWE. June 2nd, 2017 - Comments Closed Bantamweight world champion Lee Haskins will attempt to protect his IBF title for a third fight, this time.

At the SSE Arena, Belfast, Ryan Burnett dominated reigning champion Lee Haskins to remain unbeaten and claim the IBF Bantamweight title. Burnett bagged a bizarre Split Decision (more on that below), taking the belt on two scores of 119-107, with Haskins taking a 118-108 tally. BB saw the action 119-107, Burnett.

The official verdict was highly controversial, although it’s very plausible that judge Clark Sammartino actually tallied matters correctly, with his major blunder being that he simply “ticked the wrong box”, as promoter Eddie Hearn also suspected post fight. We can now sit back and wait for the good people of the Twitterverse to go nuts.

Following this career-defining win, Burnett jumps to 17 wins, 9 knockouts, while Haskins falls to 34 wins, 4 defeats, 14 knockouts.

Amidst numerous head clashes – more owed to a clash of styles than foul play – Burnett conclusively bossed the action, scoring two knockdowns, both from rocket right hands, in the 6th and 11th stanzas. The quicker, technically superior Burnett, however, was unable to stop a tough, valiant Haskins, who fought on gamely despite suffering a possible right shoulder injury in the 6th.

Ryan Burnett now enters a deep Bantamweight scene, filled with plenty of stern tests and the unbeaten elite, Shinsuke Yamanaka, who leads the Top 10.

Haskins vs Burnett: Undercard

  • Cruiserweight climber Luke Watkins (11-0, 7 KO) made quick work of challenger Ian Tims (13-4, 4 KO), bossing the action en route to a 4th round knockout.
  • James Tennyson (19-2, 15 KO) continued his comeback with win number three, here retiring Ryan Doyle (14-2-1, 8 KO) in the 6th round. Tennyson, who was stopped by Ryan Walsh last April, continues on the Junior Lightweight trail.
  • Lightweight startup Paul Hyland Jr (16-0, 6 KO) wasted no time against an overwhelmed Adam Dingsdale (16-4-1, 4 KO), ruthlessly wiping out his man in the opener to land the European belt.
  • Mike Perez (22-2-1, 14 KO) ended a two-year layoff with a forgettable encounter against Viktor Biscak (10-1, 7 KO). Biscak retired himself from the Cruiserweight bout after being dropped shortly after the first bell. On the plus side, Perez, who was crushed by Alexander Povetkin in 2015, looks to be in fine shape physically, supposedly now rebuilt for what could be a promising run down at Cruiser.
  • Feargal McCrory (6-0, 3 KO) added another win to his building Junior Lightweight campaign with a 2nd round stoppage of Paul Holt (6-5, 2 KO).
  • Matthew Wilton (16-0, 3 KO) was unable to stop William Warburton (23-116-9, 4 KO), but had zero problems trumping the extremely well-travelled journeyman over six rounds. Scorecards for the Junior Middleweight encounter came in at 60-54.

Ryan Burnett Vs Lee Haskins Actor

Lee Haskins enters this fight with a 34-3 record that includes 14 knockouts. Haskins has won his last eight fights, and he’s coming off a September win over Stuart Hall. Haskins will be defending his belt for a third straight fight and hopes to continue making a case as the best boxer in the bantamweight division. Haskins is a 5’5” southpaw with a 66 inch reach and is a quality defensive fighter who relies on counter punches and waiting for his opponent to make a mistake. Haskins doesn't have much punching power, but he does just enough to win rounds and can land a haymaker if he catches you sleeping. The obvious concern with Haskins is his questionable chin, as he has been knocked out in all three of his losses. This will be Burnett’s first fight in Ireland.

Ryan Burnett Vs Lee Haskins Married

Ryan Burnett enters this fight with a 16-0 record that includes nine knockouts. This will be Burnett’s fifth fight since 2016, and he’s coming off a February win over Joseafat Reyes. Burnett is a soon to be 25-year-old who has been making some noise in the UK and has a chance to take his career to the next level here. Burnett is a smart boxer who relies on his defense and taking what his opponent gives him. Burnett doesn't have a ton of power and hasn't produced a knockout since his 2015 win over Robert Kanalas, but he counters well and does a good job of avoiding the power shots. The concern with Burnett is his lack of competition, as Ryan Farrag is the only respectable name he's faced up to this point. This will be Burnett’s fifth fight in Ireland, his birthplace.

This is an interesting fight between two guys who are defensive minded and like to rely on their opponents offense to dictate what they're going to do. In most cases, Burnett is far too passive and that can hurt him in some rounds. Overall, Haskins is the far more experienced boxer and has a more trustworthy offense. If Haskins closes off the ring and gets Burnett against the ropes, he's going to go to work and that's where he’ll win the key rounds. Burnett hasn't proven himself yet against a guy of Haskins’ caliber and his limited offensive attack will likely be his downfall.
