Subriel Matias and Gabriel Gollaz Valenzuela made weight to Friday’s weighing for their IBF Light Welter title eliminator this Saturday, March 1 at the Tomas Dones Coliseum, in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. The event will be shown Live in Dazn.
This is a must for the former 140-pound champion of the FIB Matias (21-2, 21 ko) if he wants to have the opportunity to recover his belt he lost last year in a terrible performance against Liam unemployed on June 15 in Manati, Puerto Rico. Matias could not use his normal fighting style to get to unemployment because his movement, and pushing that he did.
Valenzuela (30-3-1, 17 kos) will surely follow the unemployment plan by moving and mistreating Matias every time he approaches. However, it has no other options, because it is not a large enough beating to defeat Matias in a shooting. In comparison, it has power, but not at the subriel level.
Official pesos
Gabriel Gollaz Valenzuela 139.8 vs. Subriel Matías 139.8
Alfredo Santiago 139.75 vs. Javier Fortuna 144
It is difficult to know how good is Valenzuela, 30, because he has never defeated anyone notable during his nine -year professional career in Mexico. Lost to William Zepeda at the beginning of his career, and was also beaten by Love of Montana. Valenzuela has won its last five fights since then, although against the lower level opposition.
The defeat against love occurred three years ago in 2022. Being beaten by that type shows the level at which Valenzuela is operating. As for talent, it is more a marginal contender than a fighter worthy of its #4 ranking with the IBF. That is why it is important that Matias wins this fight and looks good in doing so.
If Matias wins, he will have to be really good to defeat the FIB Richardson Hitchins champion because he will have a great speed advantage over him. Hitchins can do everything that made unemployment, but much cleaner. The slower matias will have adjustments against Hitchins if he can corner him to land his shots.
Matias is a fight far from challenging for another 140 -pound title, only Gollaz Valenzuela gets in his way 🏆 #Matiasvalenzuela | Saturday | 7 pm and | @Daznboxing pic.twitter.com/qqgwiradez
