Haskins dominated the opening two rounds before Burkinshaw came more into it during the third.
But Haskins reasserted his superiority in the fourth and referee Jon Lewis decided Burkinshaw was in no condition to continue with one minute and nine seconds of the round gone.
Jim Watt, the former world champion and Sky TV boxing expert, said it was "as good as I've seen Haskins box".
