Prediction.

Lipinets has fought Mikey, beat Peterson, his opposition has been better, Clayton is 33, but he was a good amateur, was in the 2012 Olympics, he's bigger than Lipinets, and his last fight was 6 months after Lipinets's last fight. Both are come forward fighters, but they have different styles, Lipinets isn't technically great, but he's a solid offensive fighter, hits very hard, is fast, puts combinations together very well, attacks the body, can fight on the inside, has a great chin. Clayton is well schooled, has a high guard, good footwork, good fundamentals, throws straight shots to head and body. Clayton definitely has the skills to out box Lipinets, but Lipinets gets stronger as the fight goes on, out lasts his opponent. I think Lipinets is more reliant on being the aggressor, Clayton is a better back foot boxer, but I don't think Clayton can push him back foot, Clayton might be stronger than Lipinets, but Lipinets is the much better inside fighter, and I don't think Clayton has enough experience against opponents with Lipinets's style, to stop him working on the inside.

I think Clayton will win the early rounds by landing the jab and right hand on the outside, but with the tempo he'll set, I think Lipinets will take a toll, Clayton can win rounds on the outside, but I don't think he can stop Lipinets coming forward and throwing, so he'll have to throw a lot of shots just to keep Lipients off, will have to keep moving, Lipinets will control the pace, and Lipinets will slowly cut the distance, make it more of an inside fight, let the shots go, attack head and body with volume and accuracy, and stop Clayton late.
