Man, this fight would FOTY hands down. Neither guy takes a step back and both can take an obscene amount of punishment.
It would be. I think Provo has more power. Both have huge hearts. Better defense by Lipinets. I'd give the edge to Provo. His downfall was always his reach. Wouldn't be a problem here.
Lipinets has an A level chin but Provo has a GODMODE chin plus more power. Lipinets has better head movement. Provo all day.
Jose Ramirez sucks. Should have lost his last fight. Robert should be 0-3 this year (Ramirez, Lopez, Mikey)... At least he's not 0-4. Tank would have killed Mares.
Lipinets has a decent backfoot game as he proved against The Wolf Ghvamichava, he'd utilize the same strategy that Molina and Matthysse used and UD him.
Still can't take away the fact that he's an action fighter, and that the fight wouldn't be an absolute barn burner.. Provo is already damaged goods.
