    Lynes just hoping with his throws last two rounds, with his eyes not on the target.

    Think Branco has won this.

    Surely Witter vs Branco next, this was gonn happen in 2004 but Branco didnt want it, think will happen now, should be a good fight.

    A very tight fight! I never would have thought that Branco had so much left in the tank, or that he would show such courage. I had Lynes just edging it, but it could have gone either way. Fair play to Branco:good

    I think Lynes was robbed.He won the first 6 rounds for me including the 10 8 and thats fight over without knockdowns.He won the 10th the,12th was close but even if you give it Branco along with 7,8,9 and 11 thats Lynes 3 up.And Jim Watt talks ****.

    Thought that was harsh on Lynes, but not a typical robbery as the fight was close enough and the scores reflected that

    Branco marched forward, and really didn't land a whole lot. Whilst Lynes was arm punching and running a fair bit, he was still busy enough with the jab whilst doing so to take comfortable enough rounds, but rounds I'm not suprised he didn't get in Italy

    I had Lynes by a couple.

    What a robbery, Branco only won 3 rounds.

    He put pressure on but didn't land clean enough.

    We all knew Lynes would have to really impress and make his rounds 100% but he did not do that. Most of the rounds were tight but Lynes did not look interested enough. Maybe his corner thought he was doing far better than he was and maybe the early knock down made him over confident. I had Branco stealing the close rounds but I forgot to keep proper score so I am not sure which way it went. Very tight and no robbery.

    Jim Watt gave round 6 to Branco where i believe he landed no punches at all and only threw 3. :lol:

    I gave the fight to Lynes by 3 rounds.

    He was robbed!

    Shouldnt matter where you fight,if you win by a round you win by a round.Branco just didnt do enough.Lynes had him on the end of his jab and toyed with him for the 1st 6.Fight over.Even if Branco wins the last 6 which he didnt Lynes still wins.

    Sky need to replace their commentator team except Nelson.
