The weights are in for what simply could be not solely the battle of a reasonably stacked weekend of boxing but additionally maybe the Combat of the 12 months. Dubbed “probably the most harmful man in boxing” at present, reigning IBF 140-pound champ Subriel Matias will face unbeaten challenger Liam Paro in Puerto Rico. Earlier at present, each champion and challenger hit the dimensions, and each males got here in at 140 kilos on the nostril.
Each males look to be in excellent bodily situation, whereas each warriors are assured of victory. And why not? Matias, 20-1(20) has taken out each single man he has ever confronted, the only real blot on his file, a call defeat towards Petros Ananyan, being avenged by way of KO. Paro, a southpaw from down underneath, is 24-0(15), and he has good boxing abilities, a really robust jab, and he may also battle within the trenches if he has to take action.
Paro could should battle to outlive towards Matias, within the early rounds specifically. Matias has made it clear: he needs to attain yet one more KO or stoppage (Matias has proven an uncanny potential to make guys give up on their stool), and tomorrow night time, he might be in motion in what’s a homecoming battle. Paro says he can outbox and upset Matias. Collectively, it actually does appear as if these two can’t fail to present us all an incredible battle.
Paro is the youthful man by 4 years at age 28, however he’s going through a genuinely fierce puncher in defending champ Matias. The 2 males engaged in a cold ultimate face-off after weighing in, and neither man even remotely flinched.
Two wonderful fighters, one in all them a pure puncher, each in tip-top form and able to rumble. DAZN viewing figures ought to be fairly wholesome with this one.
Choose: Matias HAS to be the choose to win, so full of energy and harmful as he’s, however Paro, if he can get by way of what may very well be a couple of ferocious early rounds, has an opportunity to come back on, get into his groove and make Matias pay for his defensive lapses, with him perhaps edging an incredible one on the playing cards. I’m going Matias by mid-rounds KO.
