When Lynes/Branco was switched to Dagenham the fight was obviously removed from the Italian schedule. However, quite soon after, and even though the Tolppola fight was on, Lynes/Branco sprung up again in the boxrec sked. And there it remains, for 29th Feb in Italy. And rather than being a "just in case" it actually looks a more solid bet to happen, as the undercard is filling out (including Peter McDonagh taking on Lauri for the EU title.)

Anyone know if this is indeed happening? If so, an incredible coincidence that Branco's pundelfarts cleared up in time for this to be scheduled almost as soon as Branco pulled out of the fight in January

no idea on this one, but if it was up to me id insist that the original terms have to hold, i.e fight over here.... if lynes gets robbed by the eyeties that will be sickening

i havent heard anything yet but i go with holding to the terms made before the ageing italian copped out.

Isn't it about time Branco was stripped of his mandatory position?

I believe he has been the European mandatory challenger for over a year and was messing Bami around as well.

this fight may yet take place but not on 29th feb for sure bad hand needs time to mend

i'm not doubting that colin had left hand damage as i saw for myself the increase in right hands thrown against the finnish lad (it surprised me at the time) however, i think its a cute move to delay the match with branco again. it shows that we can do some messing around too - branco gets older and hasnt seen a competitive ring for that much longer too. smart work from the hearn team.
