You dont think much of Lipinets?

He had a good showing against Garcia
he's not bad by any means. and I agree he looked fine vs Mikey. But I think that's more an indicator of Mikey's weigh cap than it is Lipinetz being a top tier fighter. I think Peterson, whom I've always thought well of, is just a class above and is more versatile. Plus, I heard Lipinets won a questionable decision against Bone last time out.
 
Good matchmaking. I got Peterson via a close JD. As it was said before his bag of tricks is deeper than Lipinets's.

we'll see how much Peterson has left. That Spence fight was one sided and brutal
 
Might try to go see this one live. Kinda kicked myself that I skipped Gary Russel Jr - JoJo Diaz.
 
Peterson is older and shopworn. His last fight, with Spence, was over a year ago and he took a big beating. Lipinets is still young and hungry, and turned pro late, so he doesnt have all the wear and tear.

I saw that. It is a surprisingly small venue. I was pretty shocked TBH for a casino, especially a MGM. I really enjoyed it tho, even in the upper level, it was close and a great view. I dont live in the area anymore, but I used to go to shows all around there. Good, knowledgeable spectators usually.

The Casino itself is also really cool, if you've never been.

I've only been there once. My gf at the time wanted to see the Impractical Jokers last year so we went. Never got as real chance to check out the casino though. The theater wasn't all that big so I can imagine converting it to a fight venue must've created a good atmosphere. More personal.

Haha, very personal. I mean, they must make all their money for a big fight through TV, this venue had such a small capacity. I have seen a few PBC events here in Miami. The ring is on a fucking horse track with the crowd being in the stands for horse racing, and some seatign ring side. They are getting like 2.5k people TOPS. I dont even know how they would get 2000 into that venue at National Harbor.

Tickets were pretty cheap too. Granted they were cheaper here than at Nation Harbor, but still. They must be making most of their money through streams, cable, etc.

edit: I will say I am pretty lubricated and high at all these events, so maybe I am off? But I dont think so. I also saw Fury vs Wilder in LA and a lot of fights in Atlantic city, so I think I have a good frame of reference.
