Matías talks to his rivals
Matías took to his Instagram Reels today to mention some of his super lightweight rivals. The Puerto Rican fighter enjoyed a successful 2023, defeating Jeremiah Ponce after overcoming a tough start in that fight. He closed the year in style, beating the previously undefeated Shahjakhan Ergashev by technical knockout in the sixth round.
After these losses, Matías seems eager to face some of the stars of the division and says: “The best 140 are here. Not Teófimo, faggot. No Ryan, who is Ryan?? He continues to scream too Devin Haney and Rolando Romero.
At the end of the video, Matías addresses all his divisional rivals and asks: “I’m here. Who is going to fight with me??“
Summary of Matías’s career
The Dominican fighter has enjoyed an impressive rise through the professional ranks, showing his bravery and tough hands. In defeating Ponce, he showed how effective he is by cutting up the ring and landing heavy punches himself before delivering bombs of his own. Matías is not afraid to shoot and so far his chin has proven to be made of granite.
Their only defeat was against Petros Ananyan via unanimous decision in 2020. He regrouped and exacted revenge on January 22, 2022, forcing his opponent to retire at the end of the tenth round after knocking him down in the previous round.
Subriel Matías is a problem for anyone weighing 140 pounds and seems ready to fight anyone.
