Mikey Diva over Lipinets for the IBF LWW title. Here’s why: Lipinets “won” the vacant title by beating Akihiro Kondo Kondo entered the fight with a record of 29-6 (18 KOs) Prior to AND since his fight with Lipinets, Kondo has fought ALL of his fights in Japan. Kondo having fought EXCLUSIVELY in Korakuen Hall makes Andre “Son of Greyhound Busline” Ward seem like Usyk by comparison. Mikey immediately vacated the title, rather than call out Prograis and Ramirez.
I don't think anyone really rated that. Lipinets is B- level and rarely mentioned. If anything, Mikey's win over Broner is overrated.
Fury v Wlad, the victory was not overrated, he beat a dominant champ on his own turf. What's more surprising is that he wasn't robbed by the judges. The performance was overrated. Fury was expected to lose by the majority of people, me included. Although Fury did some nice boxing, the fight was a stinker. Yet people talked about Fury as if he couldn't be hit and had some new found amazing movement, no. The jab to the body is one of the easier shots to land. It shouldn't really win somebody a fight, but when the other guy won't risk anything, no pressure, no cutting off the ring, no combinations and no right hands then what else are the judges to do.
