I am busy with other stuff, but will have it on the background.

[BigZ44]

First fight about to start, probably the best one of the night. I'm very curious to see how Joyce looks moving down to 122 and seeing if Haskins has anything left in the tank

[BigZ44]

Oh my! This has the makings of a war!! Haskins ate a couple big shots, but it was a great round for him over all. Came out as the aggressor, landing lots of body shots and pushing Joyce back early. 1-0 LH

[BigZ44]

Both guys landing clean, Haskins the busier fighter, getting off first but looks a little fragile whenever Joyce lands flush. 2-0 Haskins, good fight. Feels like one where Haskins may get stopped late in a fight where he's ahead on the cards

[BigZ44]

Both guys getting rocked in the 3rd, Joyce trapping him more on the ropes now and unloading flurries, Haskins doing a decent job making him miss a lot though. I swear the bell just went 10 seconds late as they allowed Joyce to throw a 60 punch combination in the corner! WTF 3rd to Joyce, 2-1 Haskins

[BigZ44]

Haskins still has good upper body movement but it looks like his feet are in cement now, can't move around the ring any more. He's stuck being a stationary counter puncher

[BigZ44]

Oh my lord this is an amazing slugfest but I am scared to death Howard Foster is going to jump in and stop this one prematurely. 4th to Joyce, 2-2
