    Nobody is talking about this. Is there a shot for the upset? Or is this another walk in the park for Mikey?

    Garcia will control this kid with his 1-2, I don’t see Lipinets winning this. I think Garcia stops him.

    Garcia all the way,I’ll be interested to see if he gets the big KO that he’s accustomed to getting as some felt against Broner that his power had diminished at the new weight.

    Lipnets is a beast but....

    1. Lipnets coming off of a hand injury interrupting his camp. (He wanted to fight Garcia with one hand, fight got rescheduled)

    2. Lipnets hasn't fought anyone on Garcia's level. Lipnets should do better than Dejan did though.

    This. Lipinets doesn't have the skill or experience to be competitive with Garcia. Lipinets is actually a step down from Broner, which is saying something.

    Garcia since he came back has fought nothing but winnable fights and with the amount of fights his had hasnt fought a single elite fighter Salido being his best win and he couldn't wait to get out of that fight it's joke yet people claiming his a p4p

    Honestly somewhat hard to gauge Lipinet's as he's only fought up to a certain level at this point. Tonight will tell us plenty about both fighters, hopefully.

    No and that's why he was chosen.
    Very few guys with less than 15 fights are on Mikey's level.

    My question is can Mikey stop the guy at 140 or does he simply outbox him to a decision? Anyone know about Lipinets chin?

    A chance to get stopped instead of UD'd, for sure.

    Forgot about that injury. Just hoping for something competitive and entertaining. I really want to see Mikey tested to see how he responds.

    no.. boxers today have easy ways to get titles. Mikey should not be a 4 time titlist so early in his career. Hearns and Duran took years to get there and wars. So by the time they did this, they were in divisions and had many fights. Too bad the ease to get a title now hurts the greats like Hearns and Duran and Whitaker.

    Yes, he has. Like 10% (or maybe even 20%)... :)
