Commentators biased towards lynes

Very close this, Lynes just shaded it maybe in that round. I think the commentators are being overly negative to El Maachi just cos hes not an orthidox boxer. So what get over it and call the fight and shots landed, sounding like Jim Watt commentating on Froch they are!

19-19

Maachi is all over the place...probably 2-0 to Lynes.

Lee Purdy with some cutting edge analysis in there :P

Soooo close that, Lynes maybe just nicked it, Sky commentary was ridiculous tbh how biased they were, why not just call the fight on shots landed you wankers rather than going on about styles all the way thru like a broken record.

29.28 Lynes

Sky commentary ignored every single shot El Maachi threw. Clearly just trying to build a lynes witter final.

pishes me off.

Glad Maachi won, was very close fight and 2 of the rounds could have gone either way.

Although so far this is one of the worst Prizefighters i've seen from a entertainment value so the Final needs to be something special to save it.

robbery but my bet is still on

dreadful decision.

I thought it was pretty close myself.

Sky commentary were far too comfortable about a Lynes win. I had it much closer.

El Maachi got it then, this is going to be a difficult final to watch

Ha Ha Kell Brook called it right: "it could be a stinker of a final"

You know what I actually agree with that decision on reflection, the SKy negative commentary made me have doubts whether I had my head screwed on and I was seeing the same fight! They pretty much ignored El Maachi's shots all the way through. On steady workrate you could score Lynes, on shots landed I had El Maachi winning, stupid Sky commentary wish I could switch them off.

Witter by stoppage in the final.

Hit the mute button

Can't believe they've given the fight to El Maachi. No Prizefighter is complete without a bit of controversy.

Shame for Lynes, but first 2 rounds he prob didn't throw enough. Sky so biased though its not funny!

Be some good dancing in the final!

Im on El Macchi but that was a shocking decision,got to feel for Lynes

Scrappy final coming up methinks, can see it being very close again.

Just for the novelty value it will be entertaining, 2 unorthordox boxers throwing punches from strange angles.

another prizefighter, another crazy score

Put the tv on mute and instead listen to herbie hancocks rockit for the final

Two birds, one stone

I think a lot of people get influenced more than they think by commentary in terms of how a fight is going. I wouldnt mute them though cos then Id lose the atmosphere of the crowd.
