looks like colin lynes will step in to cover for ted bami who has pulled out of his projected bout with young mutley for teds euro title. colins recently gained british title is on the line, i think. quite why you'd wanna risk a british title under these circumstances i do not know! his mandatory is against david barnes so....its confusing.
what do we know about mutley? i have never seen him. but i hear he can punch a bit and usually fights at genuine welter.

Im going down, Kevin Buckleys fighting so on the lash!!
Ive no idea, Muttley is dangerous as hell, Lynes is classy but you need full preperation to challenge the West Brom man!!

Muttley is dangerous but Lynes class will tell as long as he is prepared properly

Confidence is a marvellous thing. Lynes is on a high at the moment, he's just won the British title in his opponents backyard, and won it well.

How Is David Barnes the mandatry for a weight he's never made as a pro?

i agree wouldent be taking fight if wasent confident, mutleys fight with kevin anderson was a cracker, mutley had it in the bag before tko so lynes has to be alert, but i defy anyone in britain to get past the lynes jab, he looked rejuvenated against morrison and mutley looks same type of fighter, anyone know if euro strap is up for grabs?

I'd be almost sure it isn't , Mutley was a voluntary defense so Bami isn't going to be stripped .

the barnes connexion puzzles me too. but its certainly true or my contact needs a kick up the arse.
the muttley bout is in wolverhampton and i have been asked to go but cant make it this time. i just hope colin jabs like he did last time out. he also looked slightly heavier in the morrison fight which pleased me.
i have to say i'm more concerned about muttley, a genuine welter, than i was against morrison who i knew couldnt match a well prepared lynes. muttley is more dangerous though.

Mutley isnt a genuine welterweight, though. He's had all but two (Jennings and Anderson) of his fights at light-welterweight –- winning the English title – and in the gym has been making the weight easily. He is over in Tenerife preparing for this fight.
I phoned up the co-promoter last night and he said Bami hasn't pulled out, or at least not that he knows of.
Mutley will beat Lynes or Bami.

I think Mutley would beat Bami but Lynes would be a much tougher prospect. If Olusiguen can also be involved once he's eligible for the British, there are some cracking fights there

reading muttley's resume it seems he can comfortably go up and down weights. but can he box? we know he can punch. whats his chin like?
does he move? lynes is jabbing with intent these days on the back foot like a prime Minter. if muttley cant move well he'll get his face jabbed off.
its a good match up this one if it happens

lynes/mutly for ebu/british imo lynes wins wide points same as in morrison fight, rematch with witter on horizon?

like i said on the original post 6 days ago ted bami HAS pulled out of this fight, lynes has indeed stepped in and my contact tells me that the bout is now for the European light welterweight title as bami has or will be stripped of that bauble.
apparently ted is citing domestic problems for this decision - shades of lloyd honeyghan - his Mrs has shown him the door etc.
lets hope colin can box as well as he did against barry morrison and lift the belt (for his dad more than anything else)
