Jab, hug, and then run. Rise and repeat for 12 rounds.

Ill be watching the Top Rank card instead. Hearn has to get rid of Huggins. No entertainment value or skill. If he had skill he would be using it to "beat up" his opponents. See what Keyshawn did to Lemos unlike Huggings.

Hitchins must take a hike.

Once paro said don't run I knew right there he lost the fight already

Sounds like Paro is trying to get into Hitchins head.

I'd love to know the thought process behind bringing Paro back to Puerto Rico ? Surely Australia would be a better fit for a new Australian Champion ? How many Puerto Ricans are going to be excited to go watch the guy who knocked off the guy who was their last next big hope ? What am I missing here ?
Unless they're planning for Subriel to slide out from under the ring with a steel chair while the referee is distracted and knock Paro out , costing him the title. It's the only way that it makes sense to me.
Let me know if you have any ideas . Thanks ya'll !

Ideas are constructively right, or to be shut down (with or without reason).

Of course Australia is a better fit for Paro than Puerto Rico, but at what cost? and what's the rush? Activity & timing, waiting & negotiating for another big name or belt holder. Sure Hit Chins is a relatively big name, but it could be something as simple as someone on his team having a felony conviction. It's hard to get into Australia. Besides, the Champ' shouldn't have to wait for a challenger, it should be the other way around.

Paro actually knocked off two big hopes of Puerto Rico, so he has a strong presence in their country. They have other big hopes such as Zayas & Berlanga and they have a strong boxing culture.

Hit Chins ducked Matias six months ago, if he hadn't, Matias would likely still be Champ'

I believe Paro is genuinely concerned about Hit Chins running, not for fear of losing (they would have a plan mapped out for that likely scenario), but being involved in 'a stinker' in front of genuine fans & losing stock even in victory.

I feel the same way. When this fight was first announced I posed something similar. The whole thing makes no sense. I was 100% sure that Paros first defence would be in Australia. Shows you how much we know.

maybe he will run into something if you set it up right.............right ?
