Comments Thread For: No-Quit Liam Paro Conquers Subriel Matias to Swipe His Belt

This looked like a replay of Algieri–Provodnikov a decade ago. Paro even kinda looks and fights like Algieri.

First time seeing Matias, but not impressed at all. He looked like a dollar store Trinidad, or even Nicholas Walters.

Pabon proving once again that he's one of the worst refs around today. He contributed to the farce that was Klitschko–Povetkin, and he's still crooked.

Wow! That was a very entertaining fight! Matias did well. Great win for Paro and congratulations to him on winning the Super Lightweight IBF Title!

Luis Pabon is a disgrace the way he tried to steal the fight away from Paro.

If I would've said Paro has a shot before the fight, I think 90% of people would've made a lot of dumb jokes.
Glad people can shut up now.

Having said that, I don't think Matias was anywhere near his best.
There was no sign of a plan from his team. No adjustments during the fight.
Matias looked distracted and too relaxed before the fight.

Fair assessment. And these ate the variables in every athletic every competition. It's never just skills, speed/movement and power. It always involves the right plan and actual performance at that moment.
