Brilliant fighting by Mikey. What a rare talent.
He really got tested this time! Lipinets could probably beat anybody right now at 140. Anybody but Garcia.
Dear Host.
I’m not able to watch this video because includes CBS’s contents under copyright here in Canada. Could you be so kind to provide a new video which is allowed to be played here? You did this before for me for another bout. Thank you for your support.

Thank you host it works perfect :-)
Mikey beat his a*s lol
That knockdown. Wow!!!
Really good fight between two strong punchers with very sound boxing skills also. However, Garcia imposed his superior boxing skills from the very beginning controlling the full fight and getting a very nice knock down. Lipinets has quick hands and did a very good body work but not to avail. The Judges’s cards were quite correct (mainly those with 117-110).
Based on what eye saw Mikey has been exposed, fighters based in the USA at welter will run Ooops, I meant Sprint at the opportunity to fight him now. Lipinets was not supposed to be that damn difficult but Garcia made him look like formidable opponent. I was unimpressed.Oh and lastly, a Busted nose Mikey suffered.
