hi my boyfriend has been found guilty of two counts of gbh/wounding does any1 no the poss outcome?

Question

this is my boyfriends 1st offence and he is a good character apart from what happened. this attack happened last year and since then he's been in and out of court. then in Nov he pleaed not guilty to them both but the jury found him guilty of both, he back up court for sentencing after the new year. his barrister told him hes looking at around 8 years but i think that is a bit harsh. not even the other lads are looking at that and they have other violent offences. does anyone have any advice for me if u want more details let me no
thanks
