If Mattias runs into a skilled fighter like Dadashev, but someone his size, he will lose and lose wide, like the early rounds of this fight. Otherwise, yes, his size, strength, chin, power, and body punching all checked out. He's the best PR fighter right now. But this fight was a size mismatch more than anything. They need to go back to same day weigh ins because there are fighters like Dadashev getting brain trauma as a direct result of the day before weighins and guys ballooning up in weight. There must have been a 10 pound weight difference in the ring if not more, and it caused Dadashev, a good puncher "pound for pound," to not be able to dent Mattias, who progressively walked through him and beat him into surgery in the hospital. It's completely unsafe and I don't know why boxing won't fix the rules. People are getting severely hurt because of their inaction.
