You were right stujones! About the boxing being on Bravo for 3hours...how many adverts?

As for the fight itself, I didn't think it was a robbery at all. For me Lynnes made the early running and took most of the early rounds, but come the 8th round the American took over completely and swept every session up to and including the 12th. The referee should have taken a point from Colin for holding in the last couple of rounds, but he didn't so that couldn't affect my card. Can't understand the 117-113 scorecard though.

Good fight, between two well matched boxers.

Hope Bravo screen Bami-Lynnes !

Yeah, actual running time (I taped and stoped the adverts) was 2 hours 26 minutes.

i think the logenst advert was the one just after the lynes points victory, how long did we have to wait before we got a result

I had it as a fairly comfortable win for Gallardo. It was a real struggle to make a case for Lynes winning anything past the middle of the fight. So that makes it two clear defeats in a row for him.

Marcus McDonnell's card was awful. I've no idea where he got 117-113 from. I found it especially bad because I consider him one of the best of our younger refs. Although I suppose it proves that you can be good at one but that doesn't automatically make you good at the other. Maybe it was just an off-day.

Regardless of the poor decision, I don't see Lynes being able to hold onto the title for much longer. I don't think he'll get three gifts in a row, it just won't happen.

I agree with BUTCH.I was at the fight and i thought the man won the last 4 rounds i had Colin winning the first lot.But watching it on a video that i got taped i thought it was closer than being at the fight and colin just knicking it.

3 strike rule for Lynes, Bami will smash him easily.

Judges wont be needed for that one.

Lynes is overrated, Bami will bash him to bits I think.
