Another undefeated fighter for Matias to feast on but at least Paro is a credible opponent who looked great when he destroyed Love. It'll be entertaining while it lasts but Matias should be expected to win inside the distance. Hopefully Matias finally gets his shot at Teo or Haney after this.
No disrespect to Paro because I only catched two of his fights. How much better is he than Jumkembayev, Ponce, Ergahsev and Dadashev? I'm disappointed Hitchins declined to be mandatory for Matias because of the IBF rehydration limit. That's a perfect tune up for Devin Haney. Hitchins instead is fighting Lemos who's barely 5"5. We already seen Hitchins fight guys smaller than him. When is he going to step up? BTW this Paro/Matias fight hasn't been confirmed yet.
“I’m going into (training camp) with more confidence,” stated Matias on Sunday, prior to getting on a plane to Mexico City, where he will set up his training camp in nearby Jiquipilco. “We are no longer with PBC, (as) the matter is more serious. The doors are open, but our next fight will not be with them. “(Paro) is a warrior and he has his skill set. He can stand and exchange. He is a southpaw and is strong. We have to see if he has the same (guts) as me. I like that, and that is what the fan likes to see, because no one wants to see two fighters running around the ring.” Juan Ivan Orengo, who promotes Matias, stated the fight with Paro is “90 percent done and that Paro’s side has accepted all terms in the deal.” Orengo also stated Matias’ title defense could stream live on DAZN. https://www.ringtv.com/664216-subri...et-ready-for-title-defense-against-liam-paro/
Having only seen Paro fight once, but Matias a few times, I'd say I think Matias ko's continue............
I think he needs a hard fought lesson that allows him to adapt his style. As fun and talented as he is, he is still limited and has plenty of room for improvements. But him vs Teo and Haney would be good fun.
