    Did you see the Lynes fight?

    He made Lynes look like a complete mug. He's much better than those guys.

    No it's the one fight i didn't see. I'll take your word for it. He's still not a fighter i could ever imagine being a world champion.

    I don't rate him that much he needs to step it up a bit but he will never be world level mind you if Gavin Rees can win a World title hope for anyone.

    Don't know how people can say that they don't rate him. He'll be a world champ. I'd have no doubt he'd beat khan. He's Irish by the way, not british.

    I quite like the guy man. Seen him fight a few times and he's pretty good. He's awkard and slick at the same time, great combinations and movement. Couple of downsides that I've seen are he lacks power and he also gets hit when he shouldn't.

    I'd probably say he'll give anyone a run for their money and would be a certain awkward nights work even at world level. His last time out he certainly looked like he could do with some better conditioning though.

    I can only remember watching his last fight and on that evidence this sounds spot on to me.

    His last Fight was a bad day at the office. This Kid is a great Fighter. The better the opposition the better He is, a real darkhorse.

    McClosky is decent, he is better than the likes of Kotelnik and similar standard contenders I think he takes Maidana aswell.


    Fenster is correct made Lynes look like a novice not only that but on about 5 days notice, got some nice skills has a similar style to David Barnes but alot busier. I wouldnt mind him fighting Witter rather than these Italian/Spanish waitors while he waits for a world title shot.
