I thought Wale started the better of the two, winning both rounds IMO. He landed some really good shots but so was Lyon he started to look like he was warming up but his defence looks very average and I thought Wale was on the way to exposing that, could've been wrong. Make a cracking rematch though!

Agreed i thought both rounds were close but Wale started faster and his height and reach where the advantage but Lyon was beginning to adjust and get inside but was turning into a good scrap would like to have seen it play itself out

I thought Wale won the first round, beating Lyon to the punch on occasions. Lyon claimed the second for me, landing the better shots and starting to push Wale back. Third was heading the same before the stoppage.

It was close bring on the rematch. Some exciting action thought Wale got the better of the exchanges in the first maybe even edging the second too. Lyon was coming into in the third though. Wale seemed content with trying tae score wi singles whereas Lyon was applying some steady pressure. Anyone think there was a shout for a knockdown in the second against Lyon?
