    I like Paul McCloskey here, tricky southpaw, saw about 3-4 of each fighters recent fights and McCloskeyis the classier act.
    It probably depends on whether or not he is in shape, i think he is a late draft into the fight

    Lynes blows hot and cold, should be a good fight

    My tip is McCloskeyy on Points @ 2/1

    It's definitely a point fight, but I think Lynes will be the one to edge it.
    I'm not convinced McCloskey will be in great shape having been preparing for an 8 rounder, no matter what he says.

    An interesting mesh of styles though and the winner will certainly look towards a European title shot in the near future. I didn't think Lynes deserved to lose to Branco and Paul's ambition has always beent he European belt.

    I fancy Lynes. He shouldn't be able to miss McCloskey with his jab, not with that style of his.

    McCloskey might look awkward to start with, but Lynes is the better 12 round fighter.

    managed to stay on his feet, but deffo hurt. lynes looks like he has the power and accuracy to hurt mccloskey.

    looks like a decent fight so far. lynes takes the first two rounds though, the second comfortably

    one thing in mccloskeys favour is that lynes has not got the jab landing at all. better 3rd from mccloskey.

    this is a good fight so far, mccloskey is doing well i have it even so far after rd 2

    mccloskey wins rd 3 avoiding shots and catching lynes as he is coming in
