He has a chance, but I would almost say "not really".

Does Lipinets have a chance here?

He's a pile of question marks.

Is his power real or is it the result of can crushing? He looks really really great in spots but sometimes his fundamentals seem to be lacking. He only has 13 fights and only a couple of those were against anyone decent. His conditioning is questionable and he gets frustrated pretty easy.

I think his worst possible opponent is Garcia just because he's all fundamentals and won't get into any kind of shootout. Smart for Mikey to take him on before he either gets enough experience to be really good or gets proven to be really limited.

 

[Old Cat]

13 fights?? Really??

 

[The Can Opener]

13 fights?? Really??

Yup and most of us would recognize one name out of those thirteen fights. Maybe two.

 

[Seano]

10-9 Barthelemy.

Relikh busier but not getting much past the guard.

 

[reflector]

I would say it was a pretty even first round.

 

[Old Cat]

10-9 Relikh. Pressed with pace, although not super effective.


Close

19-19

 

[BillytheFish]

Why is a p4p number 5 fighting a guy with 13 fights. Just weird. I'd get it if the fighter with that few bouts was Loma...but this...

Cuban style.
