Lipinets will get picked apart I believe. Mikey’s timing will take over as he boxes early on then steps on the gas midway through the. Foght
If you evened out the peaks and valleys of Provodnikovs abilities, you'd get Lipinets. He doesn't have the level of power, toughness, relentlessness or chin Ruslan did, but the tradeoff is his defense and boxing ability is better. Problem is, that actually plays more in Mikey's favor. Lipinets isn't going to beat him boxing, and isn't Provo enough to potentially grind him down late. Mikey should dissect him and win this without too much struggle. Lipinets isnt bad; he's a contender level fighter that happens to have a belt. That level isn't going to beat Mikey.
