Comments Thread For: Matias: Jukembayev Was Toughest Test I've Had, He Has All My Respect

Seems like he hasn't been taking his training seriously for Ananyan either - at least according to his trainer.

Yeah if you watch that fight and compare him to his last 2 fights and the tragic Maxim fight it's clear he wasn't at his best that fight. Btw i still had him winning that fight 6-4 , glad judges gave it to Petros tho . He needed that wake up call

Subriel Matias is a BEAST! He puts so much pressure on his opponents and he will definitely take one to give one! I hope he gets the winner of Ritson vs. Ponce! I doubt Taylor will be at 140 long enough to defend the IBF title.

I don’t see Taylor fighting him or Russell to be honest. There are some excellent power punching Jr welters coming up and I can’t see him getting passed them. Taylor seems to eek out decisions.....

Matias is a tough son of a b^tch, he seems so much bigger than he is to me. Juke did have him hurt a round or two before the end, but Matias ****** it up & still got the W. Not sure how high he can go with his Homer Simpson defense, but I'm there for it either way. Respect to both guys. Juke wasn't in there to quit despite how badly the night was going overall for him. I expect we will be seeing him again.

The problem is that the casuals don't know most of the 140lb. division! Barrios, Akhmedov, Ergashev, Matias, Russell & Lee, are not household names like Tank!

I just realized what Matias reminds me of. He reminds me of Chinese water torture. No one shot does it, but death by a bunch of deadly bee stings.

Matias will be avoided by the top 3 guys, his style is a nightmare for anyone in the division he doesn’t just stop people he changes them permanently.

Matias is a heavy-handed, fan friendly fighter who get's embarrassed if the other fighter doesn't punch him in the face.
