Colin Lynes v Barry Morrison, British Light Welterweight Title,RBR
Well, following my recent promise to myself to be more organised and not write these preview bits at around five minutes before the fights, here's a preview of Friday night's boxing action from the Civic Centre in Motherwell, Scotland, for the British Light Welterweight title.
Defending Champion Barry Morrison (14-1, 7 KOs) showed plenty of grit and determination, as well as a good dollop of power when he defeated Lenny Daws to claim the title in a split decision back in January, and when it comes to the first defence of the title, he couldn't be up against a much tougher opponent on the scene than Colin Lynes. At 5'7" tall, Morrison is not the tallest, and in his win over the 5'10" Daws he did well to get on the inside, as well as utilising a good overhand lead that also kept his head out of the way to get inside. The emotion when he won the title was clear, and fighting before his hometown fans he will certainly be looking to assert himself and put in a good performance against his rival Lynes, two years' older than Morrison's 27.
Colin Lynes (28-3, 11 KOs) is much the more experienced fighter, with twice the number of fights as Morrison, and has mixed in a higher level of opposition, with a narrow points defeat to Junior Witter two years ago, and having twice defended his minority IBO Light Welterweight "World" Title. His defeat to Witter was shortly followed by a defeat to Morrison's last victim Lenny Daws, in an eliminator for the British title in January '06, and after that Lynes took an 11 month break, before launching a comeback, which has seen him beat two Eastern Europeans before gaining another shot at the British title.
Personally I really liked the blood and guts determination shown by Morrison last time out, and was with the two judges who had him ahead, but I reckon Lynes will have just enough experience to draw him onto him, and pick him off.

I fear that with negotiations between Frank Warren and ITV hitting the buffers that there will be even fewer fights available on ITV, but in reality, the need to create competitive fights to earn good money from tv coverage might spur Frank Warren into making more competitive bouts, where he has been a little weak in the past.
