5th probably even. lynes not moving the head as much now, but i still get the feeling lynes could catch mccloskey again and hurt him as he did earlier. mccloskey so wide open after some of his wild swings.
6th to mccloskey. lynes doesnt look any nearer to getting to grips with mccloskeys style, and gotta be carefuly he doesnt let the rounds slip away.
7th to mccloskey, landed one lovely uppercut. looking a level above a very average lynes at the moment.
8th follows a similar pattern. mccloskey pulling away now and lynes looking pretty dejected and the corner telling him one more round. looks like he might quit or be pulled out.
lynes looked frightened in there at times. poor performance, but well done to mclosky for taking the fight at short notice and coming away with the title
