Lynes is still maybe a step below the elite of the division but so are Ree's ect. I can not see him getting a shot at Ree's and unless he gets a miracle he wont get a shot at another guy. Witter has already proven himself and the other big guns look on him as being just another brit fighter.
:bbb no excuses please, colin just to good for juho, i shook his hand after fight for putting in a good effort, he needs to smile a bit more:smooch
Lynes has a world class jab, the rest of his game isn't that high, but that jab will take him far by itself.
Just saw the fight, good all round performance, no complaints. He didnt push for a KO but I dont think thats a problem, he won every round easily. Like to see what he does next, I think he is obviosuly a level or 2 above Ted Bami, I would like to see Barry Hearn have a bit more ambition, he was shouting anyones name too loudly in the post fight interview. Lynes beats Rees imo and Rees is a World champ. Branco would be a good fight for Lynes next, former WBC champ, good scalp. Wouldnt mind seeinf Mbaye get a shot either, then we can compare Rees and Lynes that lil bit more. I see Lynes knocking on the door for a shot at a world belt, if he carries on the way he is going. Not sure if the Rees fight is likely because of the Warren/Hearn thing, but if Rees loses his net fight Lynes should definately throw his name in the hat!
Cracking little boxer is Lynes, does everything well. If he had a bit of venom in his punches he could be world class As it is he's probably fringe world class, because it's not a deep division. I give him a very good chance against Rees, and I'm sure he could give Malignaggi a good fight I'd like to see him make a few defences, and then possibly get a title shot
Does Warren have options on Ree's next opponent because that could make life very hard for him. A Branco fight would be good and at this late stage in Branco's career I think Lynes could have him. Otherwise a fight against another rated fighter will be needed soon to give him a bigger push. He does not look the type to go riding his mouth to get himserlf fights and neither does Hearns. Bami can be dangerous but the real danger to look out for is Ajose who is in the wbc top 10 and looking for a serious fight. I know there has been alot of talk of people avoiding Ajose but that rating may let people want to take him on abit more.
If Lynes ever dares to step into the ring with Ajose Olusegun you will discover Lynes true level. Lynes will be lined up and lights put out. Of course doubtful Lynes will ever develop the intestinal fortitude to face Ajose Olusegun if past history is anything to go by. Boy if he thought Malinga, Witter and Daws gave him a hard time he won't know what hit him. I apologise he probably does understand which is why he does not want it.
Ajose is good but would get beaten by most top level guys. I would love to see him fight a decent opponent who is not ripe for being destroyed. His only two foe's of note are not in Lynes class. Even though Pryce is looking good now he is focused. Lynes vs Ajose would be good and very close. But Ajose never gets himself meaningful fights, for what ever reason he has not had these so far I dont care. I have seen Ajose fight a few times now and although he does look very good he is nothing special.
I don't need to argue with you. I can only question your judgement or your standards with all due respect if you consider Lynes a good fighter. Please don't make excuses for Pryce ans say he is focussed now. Ajose knocked him out as a last minute substitute going up in weight again just to get a fight. Knocking out Ali Nuumbembee was not meaningful was it. Winning the African and Commonwealth title is meaningless is it. Knocking the more experienced Martin Holgate as anovice professional is meaningless is it. Beating up Light Middleweights and Welterweights though a Junior Welterweight is meaningless is it. Please let me know why Colin Lynes avoids Ajose if he is so good. Why did he pull out of fights twice after signing the contracts after all Ajose is nothing special according to you. Ajose is going to make another significant statement against Wright. Of course once Wright is stopped for the 1st time in his career you will no doubt have some other excuses. Lynes please don't make me laugh as I am not convinced Lynes will beat Wright or Daws for that matter. In fact Daws stopped Lynes. Ajose could beat them all in the same night. Lynes 1st as he is the easiest of the 3.
I am not saying Ajose is not very good but he needs more meaningful fights. The Wright fight is a good start. I do rate Lynes but I do not go for all the bull**** he's scared of so and so, its too much like kids playground talk. The Ali and Pryce fights were good and he did look like he was going somewhere at that time but since then he has not capitalised on his potential. Maybe he just needs the right backing or for saomeone with money to take him up and push him. You can not knock Lynes on current form. He not only looks very good and capable of going further but he also holds the euro belt. He has shown a masterclass against decent fighters in his last few fights.
:hi: when were these contracts signed ? lynes will fight allcomers anywhere as proven allready he is the champion others have to make themselves mandatorys then fight bis made or put an offer he cant refuse:bbb
I don't deal in playground talk. Ajose and Lynes were lined up to fight for the Commonwealth title. The fight contracts were signed the fighters were in training and it was to be on Sky. Lynes pulled out again a few days before the fight. He has not capitalised as he that is why he is the undefeated ABU, Commonwealt champion , WBC number 7 contender and been featured by Ring Magazine a in the last few months. Who exactly is Lynes defeating and where will he not face true tests. We saw what happened against Malinga and Daws and his pacifism against Witter. If Lynes impresses you then it obviously does not take much to impress you or that is the impression you are giving. When did Lynes show a masterclass and please don't refer to Young Muttley.
Thought Lynes did superbly last year capturing the British and European Titles in the space of only six weeks. Really pleased he got another win last night - long may his success continue.
