Round 11:

Lynes opening up trebling up that jab to Tolppola's mug. Tolppola with a few rights to the body, and Lynes returns them. Lynes' jab has won him this fight without doubt. It's firm enough to discourage Tolppola from coming forward. They're trading more now, and rights to the body from Tolppola are returned in flurries by Lynes. Tolppola with a left hook, but Lynes with some flashy looking hooks up top too. Lynes is boxing in straight lines, and Tolppola looking to throw punches that are more loopy and wider. Lynes still pushing out the jab, and the occasional hooks. Tolppola looks like it'd take a smack with a baseball bat to put him down.

Lynes. 110-99

[leftylee]

110-99 to Lynes now.

He has this in the bag and well done to everybody who predicted UD or POINTS win as you have won and if Colin scores a KO in rnd 12 I will CC you all.

Glad there is only 3 minutes left.

[leftylee]

Well done Rhun see you next time

Round 12:

Last round in what looks like being a faultless shutout from Lynes, but no KO. Tolppola comes forward with some hooks to the body, but they don't look to faze Lynes much. Good jabs, then short hooks to the body from Lynes. Tolppola comes forward, but the body shots won't win him anything at this time of the fight. Right hook to the gloves of Lynes, who comes back with jabs and hooks up top. Tolppola wrestles a bit and throws a hook on the inside. Lynes jabbing and short hook, and they trade simultaneous right hooks to the body. Lynes ducks two Tolppola hooks, then clinches. Jab, right to the body, then a fine left hook lands for Lynes. Tolppola looks alert for the first time. Lynes with hooks up top. Tolppola fighting to the very end.

120-108 shutout.
Lynes set up well for his Branco fight at the end of Feb. If a ref gives one round to Tolppola I'd be very surprised.

[leftylee]

120-108
120-108
119-109



ALL UD FOR LYNES WLL DONE ICB AND OTHERS..........

[superheavyrhun]

Yup, Lynes gets the points win, hangs on to his EBU strap very comfortably, and pretty much as perfect a warm-up fight as he could ask for. Tolppola wanted to come forward, but lacked power and boxing ability to trouble Lynes too much. 12 good active rounds for him, and a little more competitive than sparring.

that Tolppola has brought a few fans, hey I think I noticed Althugz in the crowd JK.

aww you still hating me for knowing that Mayweather was gonna knock out your boy Hatton babe??
