Colin Lynes vs. Young Mutley

[Amsterdam]

Anybody excited about this match up? I see it as a great fight, I'm personally picking Mutley, what about the rest of you?:think

[LeedsLad]

It could go one of two ways. Mutley could catch Lynes and put him out for the count, or Lynes could keep him on the end of the jab and outbox him. I thought Lynes did really well against Morrison though, so im going to take Lynes UD:good

[victorhugo4222]

I think after watching Lynes against morrison i have to go for him UD. i must admit i totally under-rated him but watching him that night has really changed my mind about him

[Jack Dempsey]

Lynes is a local lad to me, so I'll root for him

[China_hand_Joe]

I can't back a fighter will a ridiculous name like Young Muttley to win, Lynes takes it -fullstop-

Is lynes your cemented pick, or just a biased pick?:think

[China_hand_Joe]

Is lynes your cemented pick, or just a biased pick?:thinkI am basing it on seeing Lynes face before the Morrison fight - he appeared healthy and to have decent genes - it is a surprisingly reliable method to use - I'll won't get a chance to cement the pick as I won't see any recent photos before the fight happens

Are you a boxer/have you ever boxed, China Joe? Serious question.

what division would you box at?

[China_hand_Joe]

what division would you box at?140 would be a comfortable weight

[Decebal]

140 would be a comfortable weight

Pounds, right? That would make you super light and unlike most people here, ideal height/weight ratio! I thought you would have made SMW...most people tend to like boxers that are the same height/weight as them.

[victorhugo4222]

It annoys me when some one is such a big boxing fan and hasnt even tried the sport for themselves. I know there are people who have a genuine interest but if you still have the chacne to at least try the sport and see what its all about then i think you should. would also help your future judgement on future fights and boxers.

[China_hand_Joe]

I might not be able to live with myself if I got beat up some mediocrity in a boxing ring

[HulmeExile]

Back on to the orignal thread of the title - I fink this could be a great fight, was out in Milan wen Mutley last fought, (Supporting Michael Jones), he YM, fought no more den average, but had a truly great following from the Albion, and seems to be well looked afta by Errol Johnson. reading between the lines, the Winner, will mayb av to face David Barnes as the Mandatory Challanger (BBBOC), now dat cud be a Fight...

[Olu G. Rotimi]

I expect Muttley to stop Lynes. I think the Morrisson win flattered Lynes who is capable of being intimidated.

I hope Muttley will step and face Ajose Olusegun if he wins. We all know Lynes will not. Has David Barnes not recovered since th loss to Joshua Okine.

I have to agree with you, I think Mutley will stop Lynes also, I'll maybe even put a wee bet on if the odds are good, it'll be interesting to see who the bookies have as favourite?:huh
Would like to see Mut v Olusgen, could be a good slugfest:thumbsup I dont see Mut bottling out of the fight, with proper preparation I think Mut gives just about anyone a good fight, and a good scalp for your man if he beats him:good

[Olu G. Rotimi]

Yeah Top Dog, Young Muttley is a capable lad who I believe has been avoided by some people as well. I think it is to your man Anderson credit that he fought him and what a tough battle that was until Anderson got the late TKO coming off the canvas.

I am now at the stage where I really don't care about the Lenny Daws, Colin Lynes and Ted Bami's getting in there with Ajose because they never will as has been shown many a time.
Muttley I believe will and for my money is a better fighter than the other English Light Welterweights. He would be another solid scalp for Ajose Olusegun. I doubt David Barnes would step in with Ajose having got his nightmare a few year back against Joshua Okine and he was in Nuumbembee's corner when Ajose stopped him as well.

Top Dog I saw Anderson beat Magee rather easily in my view. What are the plans for him? Is it a Nuumbembee rematch or Matthew Hatton. I think he beats Matthew Hatton who I think has improved as well. Who is the European champion and has Ando got him in sight.?

Anderson is meant to be fighting in Sept I hear, not 100% sure who it is against, there are a couple of names kicking about. The European guy is Bonsu, seemingly a very tough guy, very heavy handed although he looks a bit rough round the edges, do you know him?
I believe that Mut would be up for taking on Ajose, he doesnt seem the type to avoid fighters, there are only a few of these types of guys around, sadly. I think it would be an absolute ******* of a fight if your man took him on, as long as Ajose didnt under-estimate Mut, and get caught with a stupid shot he could out-work Mut in the end. But would love to see it. When is Ajose back on again?

[RichDam]

British boxing really needs Young Mutley to win tonight. I was impressed with Lynes' display against Morrison, but he hasn't got the excitement value of Mutley. Young Mutley also hasn't had many breaks in his career and it would be great to seem take a half decent scalp like Lynes. I fear Lynes might eke out a points decision though.

Mutley I think would be willing to fight Ajose in what would be a very exciting fight. Would have to give Ajose the edge though as he seems the more rounded fighter. Really looking forward to seeing Olusegun fight again. Come on Olu when is it going to be?????

[UndisputedUK]

If Mutley wins it should be a WBC title challenge against Witter, should he beat Harris! :good

[dwilson]

I think Lynes will out box Muttly and win easy unless muttly can bang him out.

[Olu G. Rotimi]

Rich Dam and Top Dog

Nothing has been signed yet and as you know we are at the end of the season. We are expecting Ajose to fight again in September/October hopefully against the winner of Muttley versus Lynes assuming it is Muttley or a fighter in the WBC top 10 ratings the division. I say this because I know for a fact Lynes will never step in with Ajose. If Muttley and Ajose fight then the winner can fight the winner of Witter and Harris. I hope Witter wins but I think he is under threat against Harris? What do you think?

We are watching Young Muttley tonight with interest and hope he wins then we can match the current European and British champion against the current Commonwealth champion.

As you know I would favour Ajose strongly over Muttley who I also rate highly. I agree Muttley is not the type to duck a challenge. I think the difference between them is that between a good fighter and a special fighter. Another factor is that the better the fighter you put in front of Ajose the better he performs.

Ajose is not the type to underestimate any fighter hence he prepares properly. As you know he has had to take on many fights at late notice against bigger men in higher weight divisions and keeps winning because he keeps working at his craft and stays in shape as a true professional unlike another bloke in Manchester.

Lynes will try to move and eke out a decision but I feel Muttley can outbox and definitely outpunch him

I have not seen Bonsu fight but I have heard that he is physically strong and heavy handed.

[RichDam]

Cheers Olu. Was a shame the site got changed so soon after his last fight as didn't really get to discuss the Gary Reid fight.

[Olu G. Rotimi]

Cheers Olu. Was a shame the site got changed so soon after his last fight as didn't really get to discuss the Gary Reid fight.

Yes it was. Shame. How did you find the fight. I thought Ajose was dominant and thoroughly outboxed and outpunched a well conditioned Reid who for once was given the time to prepare properly. How Reid survived round 9 was almost beyond belief so he deserves credit. Interestingly Reid said in the post fight interview that Ajose was the best fighter he had faced, a real world class operator.

[RichDam]

I was impressed by Ajose. I thought his handspeed and foot movement was excellent. I did feel that he was desperately trying to get a stoppage for the Sky cameras, but that was understandable. Did he feel under pressure to put on a show because he was topping the bill on Sky?? Despite what Jim Watt and others have said, I wasn't upset by the showboating. Boxing is supposed to be entertainment after all.

My only slight concern was some of the looping shots that he was throwing, which may have exposed him to counter shots when he faces higher quality opponents. But overall I really enjoyed the fight and am looking forward to seeing him again.

[PolishPummler]

There's only one good fighter on that card.

Thanks RichDam for your kind words and encouragement. I agree that the Sky commentary went a bit over the top.

Ajose only gave himself 5 out of 10 for the performance believing it was average by his own standards. I think he did a good job and gave a boxing clinic. Can he fight much better he most certainly has and can. Personally I was glad it went 12 rounds as Ajose had not gone the full 12 rounds since he won the African title so that was good. More important was how he did it which was excellent.

I think Ajose variety is exceptional. Did you notice how he mixed his attack from the head to the body and basically body sntached Gary Reid who is meant to be a good body puncher. The worrying thing for his future opponents is that he had some niggly injuries going into the fight. Imagine just how much better he can and will be.

[Tuavale]

Lynes stopped Mutley in the 8th!

[edster]

Lynes stopped Mutley in the 8th!

cheers - how was the fight going before stoppage?

[jc]

Greta performance by Colin Lynes, he has definately improved, he made Mutley look slow and lack luster from round 1, though i dont think L Welter help YM at all.

Is anyone else wondering how Colin Lynes would do against Mbaye? He seems like a much more apropriate challenger right now than Gavin Rees...

He has a much better chance than Rees who will be used as target practice by Mbaye - dont think Lynes will be as predictable and as easy to catch, Maybe Lynes can go furher than some expected - thats two solid wins against quality opponents in Morrison and Mutley

[Max Molyneux]

Watch Olu post with how Lynes will duck Ajose.

[nulty]

I recorded it and have just watched it. I was very impressed with Lynes, worked his jab perfectly. The guy's on a roll, considering his dads illness must be praying on his mind (but he's clearly using that in the right way). I think he has a degree of self confidence that he has been lacking.

[Dunky McCafferty]

I hate to gloat guys(well I dont really;) ) but I picked Lynes to win on another thread here, although I did say by comfortable UD.

However, I have to agree with those in the studio who said Mutley looked weight drained, Mutley was slower than usual & was being shaken by body shots that werent brutal.

Mutleys way too big for light-welter, & it showed. Credit to Lynes though, as hes a genuine good guy.

Now all of a sudden after Lynes recent wins, it actually tells us that Witters scrappy win over lynes was actually a good win! If I remember correctly the Hatton fans slaughtered Witter for not stopping Lynes. Now, you have to say that Witter has another good name on his record:deal

Actually I wouldn't mind seeing a Lynes Witter rematch. It'll never happen, but from memory I only gave the fight to witter by 2 or 3 points and imo that was against a lesser version than the Colin Lynes who is operating now. Give me shit for that opinion if you want to.

Give you shit? Nah, not at all. It was a close fight, & to be honest a pretty poor one! I would hate to see that rematch made for that reason alone, in fact I must be honest I hate watching Lynes, his style bores me, reminds me too much of Winky Wright! But thats neither here nor there.

Nulty, I was wondering if Hatton was there with a view to taking on the winner of this fight for his much publicised 'homecoming' bout? I couldnt help but feel he was:think

aah. cheers for the info my man. I was watching it in my mates house so I didnt hang around for the Macklin fight, had to get home to cover up the damn budgies(honest!) They make a right racket, & if they arent covered up for 10pm they get cranky aswell & they will make sure the neighbours through the wall get fuck all sleep... & as everyone was out for the night it was up to me to get back & throw the cover on! But I got back for about midnight'ish, so I will have to give them a long lie in tomorrow:D

Still though, I think Hatton would have been eyeing a matchup with Mutley until he got done... but its just a gut feeling!

I disagree. I mean either would a joke fight, never accepted by TV. Even if Muttley won tonight people would say so what he beat a guy who Hatton destroyed in a round in the amateurs. As it is Lynes is on a roll but if Ricky took the fight now he'd be ridiculed.

As I say Nulty, I am just speculating! Hattons got to fight someone next, & as it wont be Mayweather or Witter, its going to be Malignaggi or someone from these shores I imagine.

Watch Olu post with how Lynes will duck Ajose.

Max

First things first. I watched the fight last night and thought Lynes was excellent. This is the best I have seen him. I was expecting Young Muttley to stop him but Lynes was outstanding. I give credit where it is due.

As for him ducking Ajose it is fact because we have signed contracts to fight him in the past for him to pull out a couple of days before the contest. When Ajose knocked out Ali Nuumbembee please remember Lynes was the original opponent who pulled out after Ted Bami previously pulled out. I think Lynes and Muttley are particularly nice guys which lots of boxers are.

I thought Lynes performance against Lenny Daws last year was pathethic however I like the way he fought yesterday and his confidence and Ajose as well was pleased with Lynes performance.

We hope with his increased confidence and improved performances of late that he is ready to step with Ajose. We know what we will do to him but want to congratulate him for his performances which again was excellent.

A match with Ajose and LYNES will mean a lot as you would have the current African Boxing Union and Commonwealth champion taking on the current British and European champion.

The question is come on Colin Son step up and take on the shark of the division you deserve it.

Some will say Muttley was dead at the weight however let no excuses be made certainly not after a loss. To the victor the spoils.

Again Colin well done. Never let it be said that I don't give credit where it is due

[UndisputedUK]

I'm a little sad that Mutley didn't win, he looked out of sorts and didn't really get a chance to get started.

A really great, commanding performance from Colin Lynes. I'm very impressed with Lynes I have to say.

[Jack Dempsey]

Well down Colin, great performance and seems like a genuinely nice guy too

[dwilson]

Wow Lynes schooled Muttly then downed him. That was one very one sided fight. Muttly has to move back to welter because his performance was a joke. Lynes is in a different class to him. I like Muttly but his performance was way below par.

Looking forward to seeing Lynes and Ajose. Lynes is making it hard for me to pick a winner on recent performances but i still favour Ajose but maybe on a split.

[rooq]

btw...does anyone know why ted bami vacated the ebu belt?

[LeedsLad]

Lynes performed really well, I thought he would win a UD but he was alot more convincin than i thought. Ajose Olesugen didnt really impress me against Reid, Gary Reid was there for the taking from the early rounds and Ajose didnt have the power to take him out. Morrison, Bami and Mutley all stopped Reid, Ajose couldnt.

[BigEars]

btw...does anyone know why ted bami vacated the ebu belt?

Injury I believe .

[Top Dog]

Muttley was shocking last night, he just didnt look himself at all, slow as fuck. But credit to Lynes, he boxed really well. Muttely looked weight drained, and to be honest it looks as if he's hitting the weights a bit too much, doing weights for power is a good idea but if you them wrong it will slow you down. Not sure why he was as bad but I'll stick with the weight drained theory. Well done to Lynes, he's got a good boxing head on him:thumbsup
Sorry Olu, I cant see Matchroom going anywhere near your man Ajose Olusgen, far too dangerous. Colin Lynes can beat guys cause he's clever and fairly quick, but Ajose has these in abundance as well, far too dangerous a fight fot them to take on. But I do hope I'm wrong:thumbsup

Colin will beat Daws this time, he went Into that fight Ill.

Wouldn't It be better for Colin to fight Ajose when he gets his passports? I think Maloney said he'd push for Ajose to be mandatry for the British and EBU when he gets his passports. I think It was boxing news where I read that.

[LeedsLad]

lol how has everyone bought into this "everyone is avoiding me" thing which Olusegun said? Lynes would beat him with a comfortable UD IMO, maybe he would even stop him late.

Ajose would knock Colin Lynes out. There will be no split decision. I applaud him for his performance against Muttley but Ajose is totally different kettle of fish altogether.

Unfortunately Top Dog you are probably 100% correct as Lynes has avoided Ajose many times in the past even after signing contracts to fight him. Ajose as you rightly point out is much skilful and faster than Lynes and hits much harder. Lets hope Lynes steps up to the plate but I doubt it.

[Olu G. Rotimi]

lol how has everyone bought into this "everyone is avoiding me" thing which Olusegun said? Lynes would beat him with a comfortable UD IMO, maybe he would even stop him late.

Dream on Son. Answer a simple questiion why did Lynes pull out after signing a contract to fight Ajose. How the hell can Lynes beat a fighter who is superior to him in every facet like Ajose and who has beaten better fighters than him. We would happily fight Lynes tomorrow. Once Ajose gets his citizenship I have a funny feeling Lynes would give up his belts rather than face Ajose. You must be biased if you think a man who has knocked out the likes of Bradley Pryce and Ali Nuumbembee would lose to Lynes who nhas been stopped by Malinga and Daws.

Please let us have the match tomorrow.

[elias]

Apart from the Reid fight Olusegun has really impressed me. He's an athletic fellow with skills. Wins over Pryce and Nuumbembe are not to be sniffed at. Reid seems to have gotten a bit more durable lately, so it wasn't a bad result for Ajose.

[Top Dog]

[quote=LeedsLad]lol how has everyone bought into this "everyone is avoiding me" thing which Olusegun said? Lynes would beat him with a comfortable UD IMO, maybe he would even stop him late.[/quot

Got to disagree here, I reckon Olusgen stops Lynes fairly easily to be honest. Ajose has got good talents and wont be imtimidated with Lynes at all, and I'm also sure that Ajose will cut the ring off, unlike Mutley, who seemed clueless about what to do. Cant see the fight happening though, far too dangerous for Colin

Unfortunately Top Dog you are probably 100% correct as Lynes has avoided Ajose many times in the past even after signing contracts to fight him. Ajose as you rightly point out is much skilful and faster than Lynes and hits much harder. Lets hope Lynes steps up to the plate but I doubt it.

You never know, Lynes does seem very very confident at the moment, and he is boxing well, so he may stick his neck out and take Ajose on. He's a good fighter but I think Ajose would do a job on him that's for sure:thumbsup

As you know Top Dog I agree with onm the outcome of a fight between Ajose and Lynes.

I did not get to see Mbaye and Rees but I got a call saying Rees won the contest. This begs a question how did Rees win and more importantly how the hell did he get a world title shot. I am not sure that Rees is as good as the domestic guys in Britain at the weight such as Nigel Wright, Lenny Daws, Colin Lynes, Ted Bami & co. I mean how do Sports Network get this guy rated and a world title shot when he has been inactive for over year. I mean what was Mbaye doing?

Well, like you I expected Rees to take a beating, but Mbaye was terrible, not to take anything away from Rees cause he did work very hard. Rees will lose to the first good guy he takes on cause he is just not built for that division. Man I wouldnt like to see Ajose v Rees, it would be an absolute KILLING, I think I would need to call the police:lol: Wait and see if Lynes is up for it, you never know! And Rees will try and get the biggest possible fight, maybe even Hatton, just so that he makes a packet and then moves back down to his weight division. Fair enough on Rees though, he made Mbaye look very average.

I am basing it on seeing Lynes face before the Morrison fight - he appeared healthy and to have decent genes - it is a surprisingly reliable method to use - I'll won't get a chance to cement the pick as I won't see any recent photos before the fight happensWith Lynes having such solid genetic make-up, the result was never in doubt -fullstop-
