In a crossroads fight, former world junior welterweight champion Sergey Lipinets (18-3-1, 13 KOs) spoiled the U.S. debut of British star Robbie Davies Jr (23-5, 15 KOs) with an exciting ten round unanimous decision on Wednesday night at the Whitesands Events Center in Plant City, Florida. Davies rocked Lipinets in both rounds three and four. Lipinets broke Davies’ nose and dropped him in round five. Lipinets dropped Davies twice in round eight, but then Davies rocked Lipinets again at the end of the round. In the end, scores were 95-92, 96-91, 98-89. Great fight!

Unbeaten heavyweight Fernely Feliz Jr (8-0, 6 KOs) scored an eight round unanimous decision against durable Cesar Navarro (11-2, 9 KOs). Scores were 78-74, 79-73, 79-73.

Unbeaten super featherweight Tsendbaatar Erdenebat (10-0, 5 KOs) scored a third round TKO against Alberto Mercado (17-7-1, 4 KOs). The bout was stopped due to a nasty cut suffered by Mercado.

  • That was GREAT fight. That was absolutely fantastic. I think they’re both at the end of their careers and Lipinets and Davies fought like everything was on the line. DAMN!

  • Great matchmaking from Probox again!

    Davies Jr fights are always entertaining.

  • Great fight! Albeit, two guys past their prime, but who cares! They gave it everything they had. Lipinets punch resistance is GONE! He might get one more “big” fight, but it’ll be his last!

  • Was shocked to see Lipnets hustle in the last round and Davis just try to survive. Davies needed to go for it in the 10th but he just hung around and went limp. Lipnets fought the last round like HE was behind. What a warrior.

    • Scoring was questionable-female judge, who don’t remember seeing before, only one who had it correct at 98-89.

  • Another probox show, another outstanding fight! I just saw this and it did not disappoint! Lipinets could not see that left hook to save his life.
