Lynes took the first with the jabbing. Dropped Branco in round 2.

I should get round there a lot more than I do.

4th round was closer, but Lynes not really affected.

Lynes definitely won round 5. Jab is working well, Branco easy to hit and easy to evade.
If Lynes keeps up the pace he's pissed this.

Round 6 Lynes. Jim Watt is concerned that Lynes isn't winning the rounds with more punches, but Branco is doing absolutely jack shit. Threatening but not really doing much. Can't get himself set.

Round 7. Branco came off best in a trade off to take the round, but he didn't have the energy to follow up the advantage.

Can you see a stoppage do you reckon?

Round 8. Momentum seems to be with Branco now, Lynes back peddaling too much.
I'm not convinced Branco has as much left in the tank as he is portraying. Lynes has to land something solid.

Round 9 was close. Branco still stalking and landing the odd eye catcher. Lynes is going to surrender this if he doesn't stand his ground more.
Jim Watt has it level.

Well I hope Jim is basing his card on how he thinks they'll be scored by the Judges.
I've only given Branco one round.

Better round for Lynes in round 10. When on the attack more.
Really needs to grind out these last 2. Branco could be conning people even with the poor workrate.

Round 11 was tough for Lynes. It's Branco grinding it out.
Nasty shoulder by Branco in the clinch.

Well he's conned Watt - I'm 9-3 Lynes.

Branco bossed the 12th clearly. Lynes just back paddled and clinched through it.
Watt scores it 113-114 Branco.

Maybe not in the last two rounds... but two rounds doesn't win a fight.

joke. Two of the judges must have been goldfish. Don't seem to remember most of the fight
