Crawford continues to fight overmatched opponents. Same for Spence if the next opponent is confirmed. Kov just did the same. Garcia now following suit.

If you're a p4p guy then I expect more.

Barthelemy had a had a few close calls I remember thinking he was lucky to get win over Bey as well, he flatters to deceive sometimes, I thought Relikh beat Burns as well so he's had the opposite luck of Barthelemy

Barthelemy aiming to become a 3 weight champ and nobody knows who he is, wasn't he stripped of both titles? I'd like to see Relikh get the win and maybe the controversy of the first fight might help him if the rounds are close, he's got an exciting style so i'd rather see him bully Barthelemy than Barthelemy pike and poke his way to a boring decision, i'll go Relikh close points

Lipinets is pretty slick when he wants to be. No way he's winning the fight obviously but I could see him going the distance, especially if he goes into survival mode. He's got nice head movement and upper body movement.

Likely go the distance or a late stoppage?

Garcia is probably the best pound for pound puncher in the game so I can't say Lipinets will go the distance but if Lipinets tries to win the fight I think he will end up getting starched. If he realizes early that he can't win the fight and sees it as a moral victory to last the distance, as a lot of fighters do, then I can definitely see him doing that with a negative, safety first style.
