Dudes intimidating to me. Then again I don't train nor am I a fighter

dudes a beast, I enjoy seeing him fight.

He definitely has the crazy thing going on which can throw some people off. He's also a tough nights work for anyone at the moment. But he's also hittable and has been hurt before, so I imagine fighters hold on to that and focus on how they can exploit his weaknesses instead of thinking how much of a bad man Matias is in the ring.

Having said all that, I think only Regis can probably beat him in his current form. I also think Zepeda matches up well with him, but based on Josh Taylor's last fight and Teo's most recent fights Matias would probably beat them right now.

I expect a good fight here, maybe one of the best in the last time.

Maybe the other way around cuz Matias is not a fast starter he actually gets stronger as the fight goes on.

Yes, I can see where you're coming from, but from what I've seen, Ponce doesn't slow down, and if he can soften up Matias a little, maybe that will take away some of his power, which will be more lethal in the early rounds.

Another broadcast not picked up by Tsn in Canada, it's getting pathetic up here, were lucky to see a boxing program once every couple of months.

Those are all good fight's, which Matias has a good if not better chance of winning.
Matias, versus Progrias, Zepeda, and Taylor, are all excellent match up's, Lopez not so much.

Ponce is looking confident and doesn't seem intimidated. If he can weather the storm early, it will be a great fight.

Ponce is intimidated now, that's for sure!

Very strange game plan; it was like his team didn't believe he really had a chance in the long run, so they told him go all out and see what happens, and if you start getting hit too much, we'll stop it.

It was more of a reckless game plan, than it was strange. Because it appears that they were banking on catching him cold, but that grenade blew up in their face's.
