Damn, I like Lipinets, but he's of the breed I'd call solid rather than special. Add to that his relative lack of pro experience, and I got got Mikey all day - late stoppage I'm guessing.

Relikh? Damn - kid's been jobbed twice on the road and should really be making his second defence of the title he's fighting for tonight... I'm rooting for him for that alone, though I think he's gonna struggle if Rances takes this seriously and comes with a good gameplan. Kyril is tough and determined and he's gonna keep coming, but if Rances uses his movement better I fancy him here.

Fuck it though. Relikh deserves his 5 minutes of fame, gonna go with Kyril by close decision.

Relikh's gonna give him a proper pounding. Don't even have to mention Garcia since it's obvious.

People are counting out Lipinets because he didn't look great his last time out but I think we're going to see a completely different animal this time around. Garcia has not brought his power up to 140 like he has at the lower weights.

Can't wait for this one.

Great undercard too. Barthelemy got a gift the first time around.

just saw this posted:

premierboxing: “We’re both boxer-punchers who like to mix it up, so there’s going to be a lot of action, and we might steal the show. We’ll give the fans their money’s worth, either way.” — unbeaten 135-lb contender @iamalexluna, who faces @richardcommey Saturday on Showtime Extreme at 8 pm ET/PT.

Lipinets is too easy to hit Mikey by KO. I hope Relikh wins but I think Barthelemy wins a close decision
