Subriel Matias VS Liam Paro IBF Super Lightweight June 15th Manati, Puerto Rico.

[alastantiger]

Subriel is a pressure fighter who loves to take so he can give his own because he believes in his power, after Subriel beats Paro he can set his eyes to unify the division.

I am happy about this fight, finally someone dared to fight Matias. The big mouths like Teofimo Lopez and Haney have been avoiding it. That's why I recognize the courage of this opponent, Liam Paro, brave to come to Puerto Rico to challenge one of my favorite champions. You can't take away his merit. He's hungry, undefeated, and knows that if he beats ours, he'll have millionaire fights ahead. But right now, ours also has hunger, and from the third round onwards, he will impose his aggressive fight with his combinations from all sides until they stop the fight in favor of ours.

Teofimo and Haney are not ducking Matias mate. If there's someone ducking, that's former WBA champ Rolly because they're both under the PBC umbrella. But Rolly is popular but has low level skills and was only gifted with the belt by the corrupt WBA so there was zero chance PBC will feed him to Matias. If you know PBC's history, it is very difficult to deal with them when you are a fighter outside of their promotion. Look at Saudi mega fights, only the already damaged Wilder is from PBC while the other top promoters are working together to make the best fights.

It was only last February that Matias left PBC and is now working with Matchroom. If he beats Paro I can see him unifying his IBF belt probably against WBC champ Haney since they are in the same promotion. WBO champ Teofimo Lopez is already the lineal champion of the division but pretty sure he loves to unify all the belts as well. New WBA champ Pitbull Cruz is brave and willing but I see him as the weakest among champions and I doubt PBC will also risk him without a huge return.

I don't think they are avoiding Matias, in fact they wanted to fight him but there are no incentives as Matias even though a champion, is not a household name yet. Paro has been out of the limelight and he is lucky he has been given this chance to fight for the belt again although he has to travel to PR.

If Matias wins here, then definitely if he wanted smoke he can fight Teo. But Lopez is looking for bigger prize in his fight and if Matias can't offer it, I doubt that the fight is going to happen. Most of the times this boxers are really looking for a bigger purse and other ways to make huge money.

I agree Subriel cannot match Tank Davis or Ryan Garcia's PPV and gate ticket drawing power, it's not attractive
to fight Subriel when it comes to payout, but it will add to your reputation if you fight and beat Subriel.

For Subriel to become a household name he should beat unbeaten fighters he did it again Ergashov if he can do it again, against Paro then he will be on other champion's lists.

Subriel is the new Puerto Rico superstar in the tradition of Felix Trinidad his handler and promoters should give him challenging fights, even if it means a lesser share of the profit, on all the Jr welterweight I consider Subriel the most dangerous, more dangerous than Pitbull.

Those are still no household names though, Ergashov and Paro. In this belt, there is one particular name which is Jack Catterall or even Regis Prograis. Or if he can cross over and go for unification fight, then Isaac Cruz or Ismael Barroso for the WBA. But I do agree, Felix in his prime has fought a lot of HOF, including Oscar and Bernard Hopskins. But it's a different era that we have seen know. Boxers are being protected by their promoters and managers and so we are being deprived to see great fights. So let's see if he can go and win here, might be good to see him and Isaac Cruz together in the right. Two powerful boxers with good chin.

[inthelongrun]

It's another problem in boxing. Nowadays it's more on the business side. Promoters will only risk their stars and champions if they are the favorites or exploit their opponents like offering late-notice schedules or catchweights or rehydration clause. When Subriel was with PBC, that promotion also has WBA champ Rolly Romero but I haven't heard a single video, article, tweet about unifying the IBF and WBA belts when they're both in the same network. Clearly, PBC do not want to risk their popular fighter Romero against a very dangerous Matias with no solid fanbase.

Anyways, Matias is now with Matchroom. Last weekend, Matchroom's Haney lost against Garcia but corrupt WBC retained him of his belt. We'll see if Eddie can unify the IBF and WBC. I prefer this unification fight than a Garcia-Haney rematch since the former wanted to stay as a welterweight. Not underestimating Paro though. I still want Paro to win.

Boxers should insist on fighting the best and demand it from their managers, yes they can make a lot of money from their promoters and managers but boxers who think that they deserve to be called great should insist on fighting the best fighters in their generation.

One example is Crawford who has to get out of Bob Arum's promotion to be able to make a match against Spence and so the fight becomes his legacy fight, Subriel skill should not be wasted he should fight or unite the titles, and I agree a fight with Isaac Cruz is going to be huge two pressure fighter with the same style if this happens it's going to a last man standing type of slugfest.

I saw Matias's highlight on YouTube recently he is one of the boxers I want to watch right now, thankfully he has this upcoming fight and we can expect that it will be another exciting match. Matias might be underrated, but his skills and determination to become a known world champion are there, and the guy is just wrecking his opponent, making them quit after fighting him. I wonder why he is still unknown? he needs some exposure in the West or the Middle East or his talent will be wasted and he won't get as much money as he can with it. need a reliable promoter to promote him.

Most of the boxers that are popular are undefeatd, he had one loss against Petros Ananyan, so that's a negative in his record. Maybe the time will come if he continue winning, he'll be able to have a big fight with the popular champion in the industry and win, then that will be a big break for his career.

In the current division he is at being a champion, there are other champions that are popular than him, if he'll able to unify the belt and he succeed, then that's it. Names like Teofimo Lopez, Rolando Romero, and Devin Haney... I think he could challenge them.

Romero and Haney already lost though, it's not Pitbull Cruz, although Haney retained his WBC belt because Ryan Garcia didn't meet the weight requirement of 140 lbs. But as far as Matias, yeah, he has power in both hands but he still hasn't break into the American fans. But maybe this fight might propel him if ever he wins and this fight like goes into a war like Fundora and Tszyu and then Matias win? I think his name might be in the radar of Teo for unification fight. Teo though is the lineal champion at 140 lbs, and for me he will be the A-side whoever he faces any other champions in this division including Matias.

Yes, I agree with you, there was initial hype after he won by TKO against Ergashev but after that, there's no news on Matias there's no hype on this fight in the US, of course, this fight is already popular in Puerto Rico but unless he beats a very popular name like Pitbull Cruz, Teofimo Lopez or Haney I don't think his name will level up in the US ground.

Lina Paro is not even popular, and you cannot consider him a main-event fighter. If this fight is going to be held in the US, it cannot stand its ground and will likely end up as a co-main event.

After this fight, Eddie Hearns should arrange a much bigger fight that will make Subriel Matias a household name
Matias deserves no less than the best fighter in his division to face.

After the 5 vs 5 Queennsberry against Matchroom in Saudi Arabian focus is now on this fight that will happen two weeks from now in Puerto Rico, I'm looking forward to their press conference and weigh in, they haven't met yet but they have the same promoter which is Matchroom.

Liam Paro is from Australia while Subriel represents Puerto Rico this week we will have a lot of buzzes between the two, many experts predict that this is going to be a very good fight, although Subriel is the heavy favorite, Liam Paro can pull an upset he already proves that he can handle pressure in the ring.

Check out his fight against Montana Love, both fighters are even in round 5 until Liam Paro shows an opening to land his vicious punches in round 6 and end the fight so it's possible that he can do this against Subriel.

It's a different era though, there are promoters who wanted to protect the 0 of their fighters and doesn't want to take risk. Another great example of this is Tank Davis. He is well protected that by now he should be facing a lot of this contemporaries and not just Ryan Garcia.

One example is Crawford who has to get out of Bob Arum's promotion to be able to make a match against Spence and so the fight becomes his legacy fight, Subriel skill should not be wasted he should fight or unite the titles, and I agree a fight with Isaac Cruz is going to be huge two pressure fighter with the same style if this happens it's going to a last man standing type of slugfest.

No, as far as I know, he didn't get out of the contract, his contract expires and didn't sign up with Top Rank. It's different if you want to get out of the contract as Bob is a lawyer and known to have a tight contract with his boxers. And if they try to sue him just to get out, their careers will be stagnant, just like in the case of Mikey Garcia or that Cuban boxer that I forget his name that fought Crawford before. I will try to search for his name.

It's fight week for the much-awaited match between Matias and Lian Paro the press conference will be aired live by DAZN in Puerto Rico and hopefully both fighters tip the scale in the weigh-in.
Experts knows that Paro is the underdog but there's one boxing analyst that believes that if Paro can do this he can beat Matias

Go check the video EXPLAINED! If Liam Paro DOES This He BEATS Subriel Matias | Stats Don't Lie | Fight Week Breakdown

I consider Subriel Matias the best Puerto Rican fighter after Miguel Cotto and Felix Trinidad, he is one of the four boxers in this generation with a 100% knock-out ratio the other three are, Beterbiev, Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Gary Antuanne Russell and he is a pressure fighter who loves to slug it out take in everything his opponents throws and so he can give his own, there are only few pressure fighters in the boxing world and these are the boxers the boxing fans loves to see fight.

As far as Puerto Rican fighters right now, you should also look for Xander Zayas as the next super star coming from Puerto Rico.

The quality of opponents though of Matias, and that's why he is still perfect record with a perfect knockout ratio. But this is going to be a big test for him against the Australian as Paro is also very good and he has once been touted as well to be the rising star but he was sideline with injuries and so he is not very active in the last 2 years. So with that, he is a huge underdog at almost 6:1.

[Kemarit]

Here are the official weigh-in, both guys make it at the limit of 140 lbs,



Just and move forward to 9:34 to see both of them taking the scales. This is the whole card weigh-in though, so you might be interested on some fighters. And as fans, although I will skip this one, I'll be very much interested to see this fight specially that 140 lbs is heating up, with champions like Teo Lopez and then we have Ryan and Devin Haney.

[btc_angela]

^^ Paro is still a big underdog at 6:1 the last time I checked, what's scary about Matias is obviously his power, no one can still take his punch and eat it and then make him uncomfortable throughout the fight and make him think that his power is not effective and then he has no plan B.

So not saying that Paro doesn't have the chin, but once it touches him, for sure he will feel the power and so just like any boxer that has felt their opponent's punch, sooner or later they are going to be soft and so I'm seeing Matias winning by another ko here.

I became a fan after the Ergashev fight. Ergashev was undefeated and had an 84% knock-out ratio, with 24 wins and 21 KOs. Subriel pushed Ergashev to the limit, taking every punch He could give until finally Subriel submitted him via TKO.

Subriel is a pressure fighter. He keeps on coming, looking for the opening. He is a risk-taker willing to take his opponent's punches and frustrate him.

For Paro to win the fight he needs Subriel to respect his power if not he will have to have a good lateral movement so he can avoid Subriel's punches because Subriel will keep on coming

We have two great events tomorrow. The other one is the Tank Davis - Frank Martin, so it's going to be an action-packed Sunday for boxing enthusiasts.

[coin-investor]

Boxing experts predicted a win for Matias and his countrymen expect nothing less but Paro showed that he is a superior fighter showed heart and a good fight plan to beat Matias by a unanimous.

This is a big humiliation for Matias as he is fighting in front of his country and his first fight under DAZN
Even if Paro was deducted with punching in the back of the head he still won by a slim margin
 115-112, 115-112, 116-111 even Subriel Matias agreed when Paro was announced the winner.

Unfortunately, there is no rematch clause but I believe this is not yet over Matias its just Paro came well prepared for this fight, its an ugly loss for Matias but he will come back he still a power puncher and he can always climb his way up.

[aioc]

DAZN promotes this fight but there were no highlights on YouTube that we can see, all we have are interviews of both fighters the only highlights we saw are coming from reviews of boxing media, this is such a huge upset nobody saw this coming, a unanimous win by Paro even Subriel do not have a complaint on the decision.
He admitted that it was a big humiliation in his interview because it happened in front of his people.

Subriel can still climb and become champion again but he needs to be more technical and add some movement so he will become an overall champion.
