Looking forward to watching the fight but I think the blue print is out on beating Matias. Lots of movement. Paro really exposed that I think and Dalton Smith can replicate that I think. While I'm hoping Matias wins because I'm a big fan of his, I feel like his style is running out of steam as he ages and he's there for the picking now. Hope he proves me wrong.

Matias is nothing special. He has decent power, but not KO power. He's a volume guy with slow feet, a stiff upper-body and almost no head movement. Once Puello rode out the storm in Rounds 4-7, he was picking Matias off at will.

I had Puello winking 8-4 and find it very amusing how everyone acts like Matias won.

Matias is a budget version of Brian Norman Jr. Ask yourself this question: Can you seriously Invision Matias surviving at 147? I can't.

When he was undefeated his name was NEVER mentioned by the 'stars' at 140 - Haney, Taylor, Garcia, Lopez, - even GAR. Paro was a brave guy to go and fight him in P.R.

As long as Matias keeps it down to contamination level, I go with Smith, but not one micro nano gram more.

The promoters are losing big momey on this. They are also a bunch of idiots. Bottom tier tickets are $535 who is going to pay that, worth $400 less than that at best. Check the tickets on ticketmaster. Every block looks like it still has 80 percent of the seats still left.

The UK PPV they have priced at £42. They must want 50 buys. No PPV in the UK has ever cost this much. Even Fury AJ primetime 10pm if it happened would be like £30 max. This fight is on at 4am in the UK. This is a fight that only regular boxing fans will watch. I genuinely think it might do like 5k buys overall between US/UK and by the looks of it the arena will be 80 percent empty

Matias is only a -150 favorite, so bookers do think he has slowed down. Still surprising considering Dalton's best win is a battered and soon to be retired Zapeda.

Also might have to do with him failing a drug test

Puello got robbed.

High volume pressure fighters never age well.
