BOXING for the primary time with out the IBF super-lightweight title strapped round his waist, Subriel Matias’ rebuilding job begins tonight within the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon. Matias’ title defence in June towards Liam Paro was purported to sign a wonderful homecoming on the way in which to unification matches. As a substitute, Matias is now headlining in a non-title bounceback 10-rounder.
Matias’ 20-2 file, with all 20 wins by knockout, tells the story of his profession. More often than not, he’s a beastly banger who grinds opponents down with fixed cranking stress. Smothering and suffocating till they’ll take no extra. A string of high quality, unbeaten operators all sampled the pressure and determined it wasn’t to their liking.
Subriel’s two defeats converse of a fighter who can battle with motivation or focus, albeit in extenuating circumstances, given the character of his first loss, which was later avenged. Whether or not he’ll get one other probability at toppling Paro stays to be seen.
To clear the street again to world titles, Matias should first discover a route previous Ramirez, 26-3-1 (19), a Mexican often called ‘The Rifle’ who packs a punch however has proven previous vulnerabilities. Regardless of signing with Matchroom Boxing, whereas Eddie Hearn and Co are off selling Boots and Bam in Philadelphia, even DAZN’s consideration is elsewhere, as Matias containers on PPV.com.
Ramirez is on a three-fight profitable streak however has not boxed in practically a yr. Matias will assist punch any rust out of him early. William Zepeda thumped Ramirez in 5 rounds again in 2020, and he’s promised to deliver a toe-to-toe conflict to Puerto Rico. Matias, 32, wouldn’t have it every other approach.
