Comments Thread For: Subriel Matias Drops, Stops Jeremias Ponce in War To Capture IBF Title

[Tomasio]

Matías does not have the prettiest style or the best defence, nor the heavyest hands, but the nonstop pressure he brings on along with his conditioning & strength is enough to break down & overwhelm anyone. Ponce's mistake was to come out swinging with everything he had & fight Matías's fight.

I said Matias would break him down and predicted an 8th round TKO. Thought it would take that long. I also said it'd be a war for as long as it lasted. Can't complain. PR tiene otro campeon. Needs a new promoter though. The press here in PR did him WRONG. Glad he won 'cause now, I'm sure he'll get the attention he deserves. #ElOrgulloDeMaternillo

The translator is doing a poor job.

He always does.

Great fight. It came down to the fact that Matias could take Ponce's best shot but Ponce couldn't take Matias'.
Ponce fought the fight that made him 30-0 but that was exactly the wrong fight against a guy like Matias.

I don’t know why everyone has Matías as some boogeyman. If you watch extremely closely at that very last punch sequence not a single shot from Matías landed yet Ponce went down. At best one shot did but I honestly didn’t see a single shot land. He then goes to his corner and does the No Mas all the while pretending his corner stopped it. He doesn’t have the grit be be a world champion

Yes sir. That’s why Ponce is a pos. Once he got tired he said I quit. If he didn’t try to blast Matias at the beginning I would have thought the fight was fixed.

So based on this logic, do you also consider Chavez a pos for quitting against Oscar? Or Oscar a pos for quitting against Pac? Or Morales a pos for quitting against pac?

Matias-Ponce over 8.5 rounds at 1.85 is a go.

Hopefully, Jake Paul wins later.

No. Those guys tried. Ponce wasn’t hit at the end. He just quit when he couldn’t stop Matias without injuring himself. Ponce had no intention of getting in a war. He just wanted to sucker punch Matias and get him out of there. Matias should have hit that bi tch on the stool.

Yeah, I don’t think you can make a strong argument that any of those 3 guys tried harder in those specific fights than Ponce did last night. Seems like your perception on who’s a pos for quitting is based more on who does the quitting than anything else.

Lol did you really just say sucker punch in regard to a sanctioned boxing match? Only instances of that actually happening I can recall are James Butler and Andre Dirrell's uncle vs Uzcategui. Ponce didn't even quit himself it was his corner's decision... Quit posting you are annoying as **** and constantly grasping at straws
