So the replacement of Broner won the fight against Omar Figueroa, not sure if fans have bet on this fight, but I totally skip this one. Lipinets stop Figueroa, his corner and father wave the white flag and ask the referee to stop the fight as his son is taking too much punishment in the hands of Lipinets. He also drops Omar in the second round. Not sure though is this win will have a bearing in the 140 lbs. Possible that Lopez who won over Campa can fight Lipinets as another step up fight for him to be "legitimate" 140 lbs contender, so lets's see.
The results were quite surprising because as a substitute for Broner, Lipinets actually only had a little time to prepare for the fight, but in fact Lipinets were able to compensate and even fight quite crazy by releasing many heavy blows at Figueroa, I think, what Figueroa father did was actually true because in the 8th round, Lipinets were really quite brutal with many targeting Figueroa head as a target, so it was clear that Lipinets dominated enough without any resistance from Figueroa who had been stuck at the side of the ring.
I think it's not surprising at all because the odds favor Lipinets. And if I'm not mistaken, Lipinets is also preparing a fight on the next couple of weeks. So he is already in shape even before being tap as a replacement for AB.
Also, as @lionheart78 has pointed out, sometimes this replacement fighters can really gave big problems on the opposing side because they are not prepared for it.
@DU18 mentioned LIpinets lost to Ennis, Jarod is one of the best prospects in 140-147 lbs.
Yup, Lipinets has the advantage needed to win and defeat Omar because he have already trained for this fight in about weeks or months even before he was called to sub for Broner while on the other hand, the latter is still blinded and was preparing for Broner because he and his camp didn't expected that Broner would withdraw last minute.
