I am Puerto Rican and think Matías lost the Puello fight too. I could see a case for a draw, but it's hard for me to see him winning more than six rounds in that bout.

The analysis here is spot on, if Smith fights a disciplined fight, he has a very good chance of winning. But he will have to weather the storm. Stamina and the ability to weather the storm mentally will also be key elements. Whatever one may think of Matías, he will give you an entertaining bout.

Matias is a good, but flawed pressure fighter. He has minimal head movement, slow feet, overrated power, but a good chin. I've seen many fighters over-hyped over the years like this: Michael Grant, José Baret, Derrick Gainer, Edwin Rosario.

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

Yes, and also, there is another big boxing fight in New York at the end of the month. I would imagine most boxing fans are kinda working class and aren't going have enough money to go to 2 separate events in 30 days. Teo and Shakur are much bigger names than Matias and most Americans probably don't know who Dalton Smith is. The PPV price in the U.S. is about $50 which isn't exactly cheap considering the undercard. Nestor Bravo? I mean okay but who else? If they knock it down to $25 then maybe I'll consider buying it but I'm perfectly happy watching Kabayel and a card full of heavyweights.
