Awesome opening for Lynes. First round he's winning the jabs, and getting off flurries, and not getting caught much.
Second round he's being pressed back more, but as Branco comes forward, he catches Branco round the back of the head, and with the help of a slip, Branco is down. Great stuff from Lynes, and he's quieting that italian crowd. Lynes charging after Branco till the bell.
was it counted as a KD
Will this go 10 rds or more, has either been hurt ?

OK, at the end of the 7th now, and the last was a cracker. The sixth was pretty dull, with Lynes boxing well, landing jabs, and the occasional straight shots, but a few decent shots from Branco might have given the judges cause to score it ot the home fighter. The 7th was stunning, Lynes working very well, jabbing and flurrying nicely for two minutes, but a huge Branco flurry has Lynes reeling on the ropes, and he clings on to save his skin there. The deciding factor here could be the home judges, cause it's pretty nip and tuck here. Good first half of the 8th for Branco.
After 7, 68-65 Lynes.
Branco was landing well in the 8th, but Lynes has been consistently boxing well, and landing much more shots, though without the power of Branco. Going into the last quarter, I have Lynes 87-84, but the commentators have it much closer than that, as Lynes isn't coming forward. If this was anywhere but Italy, this would be convincingly for Lynes, but here....who knows. Branco landed 4 shots last round, against Lynes 20+, yet still the commentators give it to Branco??!??!?
We're into the fifth round now, and Lynes took the first three, including the knockdown, but Branco is starting to get back into it, forcing the pace a little more, and waiting for Lynes to come in and then lookto land the shots. In the fifth though, Lynes has finished well with lots of good jabs, probably taking a share of the fifth. So for me, after five, we have Lynes winning 49-46
