The road to Hitchina

The winner of the Saturday fight between #3 IBF Matias and Valenzuela will be obliged to champion IBF of £ 140 of Richardson Hitchins. However, it is unclear how soon he will come to the challenge for his belt, because his promoter, Eddie Hearn, is interested in reconciling him with Teofimo Lopez or George Cambosos Jr ..

Matias, 32, has been struggling for the second time since he lost his IBF belt IBF belt of Paro in the defeat of the unanimous decision in 12 rounds last 15 June. This fight showed that Matias must enter mud with fighters using a rude walking tactic, such as pushing, punching rabbits and wrestling, as we saw in this fight.

Sutriel played him nicely resulted in lost his IBF belt in Paro in a fight he could beat that he had used the same tricks. He kept watching the judge to implement the rules, but that didn’t happen. It was a good lesson for Matias.

I respect my opponent, but I understand the great rivalry between Puerto Rico and Mexico.
