As the fight wore on, Biyarslanov’s conditioning was tested like never before in the pros, as Lipinets continued to press forward with a high guard, firing body shots in the seventh. That approach gave Biyarslanov more opportunities to counter, which he accepted, landing a straight left through the guard that again hurt Lipinets. A cut opened up on Lipinets’ scalp later in the round, but it wasn’t until the eighth that it opened up more drastically, with blood pouring down his face for the remainder of the fight. Lipinets never relented, swinging away with uppercuts, but, with his left eye completely swollen shut, he was unable to defend against right hooks.
