Advice:Colin Lynes (W26-L1-D0) should be able to last into the second half of the 6th round in his British Light Welterweight Title Fight tonight, when he challenges the fearsome Junior "The Hitter" Witter (W31-L1-D2) at the York Halls in Bethnal Green, London.
Lynes has never been stopped before the eighth round in his 27 fight pro-career. His only loss was actually IN the 8th when he was beaten by South African Samuel Malinga (W17-L4-D2).
Witter is "World-Class". His battering of Lovemore N'Dou (W39-L7-D1) for the Commonwealth (British Empire) Light Welterweight Title prompted "Golden Boy Promotions" to sign him up immediately.
But his more recent effort when tamely defending his European (EBU) Light Welterweight Title against the very average Andreas Kotelnik (W24-L2-D0) was dismal to say the least. Some "Armchair" judges could have had the gallant Ukrainian ahead going into the final round.
Witter is good, damn good. But maybe not good enough to persuade Lynes to lay down early. Take the 1.715 with Bet365 about this one going "Past" the 1 minute 30 mark of the sixth to medium stakes.
