    :huh yet another fight off, barnes stripped for pulling out, so in steps mccloskey to fight lynes for vacant belt, probably just as good a match up so stil going.

    I believe McCloskey has a great chance to win this fight. I've seen his last three fights he had a few problems with Nigel wright but was impressive in his previous two showings. I think McCloskey could pull off the upset here !

    Anyone know who else is fighting on this card?

    Also think Lynes will win, clear UD.

    He deserves to get a title straightaway after the shambles in italy.

    Barnes has moved to Hayemaker too, wonder how it affects that cos he has one fight left with his previous lot.

    lynes would not lose a round against wright, so the fact that mcloskey had problems doesnt bode well for him, but still, styles make fights etc and perhaps mckloskey has the style to cause lynes problems.

    shame for barnes, if he'd have won this his career might have finally taken off after stalling over the last few years, back to square one now.
