Tom Baker seems decent, what are your opinions on him?

Yeah he is not bad. Cruising through this fight so far after 4. It's hard to say when you are up against a guy who is not keen on opening up and trading back.

Baker W PTS Psonko - 60-54

Baker's jab was very nice indeed. Nice to see a tidy performance there from Baker.

Tidy performance. Needs to put more shots together though. Continuously landed the jab but didn't back it up

OK Skeete v Lynes is next. Should be a good crossroads fight. I have never been impressed with Skeete when I have seen him before but I think he'll get the job done on points tonight.

Could be a close fight.

He's a fat git! I swear he could make 154! Now they're talking about him going up to 168 in the near future. He's not big enough IMO.

Middleweight isn't right for him, but I can't tell if he could get down to 11st, or if he's tight at the weight and should move up.

Skeete down in the second with a clipping right. He is back up. a 10-8 round for Lynes

I can see Skeete getting knocked out the ways things are going.

It's good to see Foster back in the ring aswell after the stick he's had off some.

I have Skeete up by 1 after 4. But the third was close. Skeete jabbing and using movement to frustrate Lynes who is looking for the big shot.

What a good wee fight. Skeete had a very good 5th round there. Lynes trying to walk him down but it is not working (but it might just do eventually...)

Lynes needs to throw the jab, Skeete's picking him off as he comes in.

Skeete had another good 6th round. But he was dropping his hands towards the end of the round and showboating a bit. He is not good enough to do that!!!

Gave that one to Lynes, first he's won since the knockdown. Most of Skeete's punches were blocked and the bigger, more noticeable punches came from Lynes.

Moving into the eighth. Skeete pulling away I think and Lynes looking a bit tired.

Howard still hasn't put any fighter in a headlock....yet

He's struggling with Skeete's length I think.

There's no power in Skeete's punches though, he needs to march through them and get his own shots off. I have him 2 down with 2 rounds to go.
