How good is Subriel Matias?

Reminds of Diobelys Hurtado

 

It's hard to say until his opposition level increases.

 

His resume is legit. Hes beaten contender level fighters already.

Paro is good enough that if Matias just walks through him then we have to accept him as an elite guy.

 

What? In what way?

He fights nothing like Hurtado.

 

I assumed he just meant appearance wise. If you shaved Matías' head, I can see it.

 

Boogeyman at the moment. Unproven though

 

He is good but Paro is going to beat him this weekend and people will say he is overrated.

 

Better than me
Not as good as Usyk

 

Matias has one of the longest ring walks of all time at 28 minutes against Ergashev (other than Felix Trinidad that one time he intentionally stalled against ODLH).

Matias danced the whole way taking one step forward two steps back. I remember the bartender at the pub we were watching the fight at kept saying "Its safe to go use the restroom, this guy is still dancing." lol.

dangerous guy, but very beatable. dont fight him unless you have ko power, cause thats the only way youre stopping him. attack his body from the start. that should be the main gameplan against him. he gives you those shots for the most part, preferring to just turtle up and catch em on the arms. it builds points and diminishes him for the later rds. youre gonna have to pound some energy out of him, and body work is the best way. otherwise hes gonna drown you in the late rds, cause hes got more gas than you.
to take him out, work on hooking from a defensive position, in between his punches. when you slow or stand still, matias likes to punch in combination from weird angles and at tricky rhythms. thats the time to cover up, weave, and hook in between his punches. he has little head movement, so once you get his hands away from his chin, hes very vulnerable.
ive only seen a couple highlights of paro, but he seems to have the punch to put enough hurt on matias to beat him in the manner i outlined. so if he stays committed to the body for the first 6 rds, he can stop matias in the 2nd half. if he concentrates on trying to punch in between, and around his guard to the head, matias will beat the fight out of him in the second half.

 

He’s a good strong pressure fighter like a lot of puerto ricans/cubans but he gets hit way too often, Ponce gave the guy all kinds of problems, Ergashev at times you could see was the better boxer but didn’t have the nouss or toughness to keep him off and both corners ended up retiring their fighter.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Paro walked away with the win but I feel Matias will walk through him.
