Colin Lynes loses European title to Gianluca Branco

[OumaFan]

Would it be wrong to be excited about the result of a fight in which one guy got (apparently) screwed by hometown judges just because that result made you a perfect 3 for 3 on your Friday prediction picks?

[OumaFan]

I'm gonna say no

I think Lynes throw away the fight away, he started very well knocking Branco down in the second and in the 3rd he didnt do to badly either but soon as Branco relized he had to come up with more offence Lynes backed off and circled the ring just popping out his jab which was not enough to win the rounds.He should of held his ground more and force GB on to the back foot like he was doing early in the fight because Branco was not effective when going back.

In my view, a little, but then again it was close enough for it to go either way, and there were plenty of close rounds which went the way of Branco on the judges cards it appears. I don't think it was an absolute travesty of judges, but it was pretty close, and no doubt lynes will feel aggrieved.
