Haskins beats Morales with confident title defense (The Associated Press)
Britain’s Lee Haskins successfully defended his IBF world bantamweight title with a unanimous points victory over Mexico’s Ivan Morales on Saturday. Haskins’ superiority at Cardiff Ice Arena in the Welsh capital was reflected on the cards of the three judges, who scored it 119-108, 118-110, 118-110 In Haskins’ favor. Morales, eight years Haskins’ junior at the age of 24, lacked the punch power and know-how to record an upset, even if the Mexican continued to come forward until the final bell.
