Good. I'm much more interested in Briedis vs Dorticos than Briedis vs Glowacki.
Briedis is definitely a dirty mfer (a dirty cop :mjlol:) but in that fight Glowacki did his fair amount of fouls too he just ended up the one getting slept by the end. He landed a rabbit punch with the power of a legit power punch then he got elbowed and while that elbow was a blatant foul he definitely tried to DQ win his way out of that fight there. I mean it was a better play than what Broner pulled against Maidana but it was still visible that he didn't go down as the result of the elbow, wasn't a natural reaction of his body but him figuring out after 2 seconds that he can run with this.

Then he knocked Glowacki down and hurt him BAD, then they didn't stop at the bell but it didn't seem like Glowacki was about to stop either, they both consensually continued to throw.

Then he knocked Glowacki out in the next round.

So while it was definitely unprofessional and dirty, Glowacki is no saint himself and I don't think he got knocked out because any of those circumstances. Briedis just had his number.

I hope he knocks out boring ass jab and grab Okolie though

Man i don't even takw Okolie serious. Still havent wiped the shyt off my clothes from the Chamberlin fight

This coming Saturday night, hard punching Puerto Rican junior welterweight Subriel Matias (14-0, 14 KO's) will stay busy by facing Argentine boxer Jonathan José Eniz (24-12-1, 9 KO's) as the main attraction of the card “Noche de Terror 3 ”, which will be staged at the Tomás Dones Coliseum, in Fajardo.

The fight will mark the first time that Matias steps inside the ring after stopping Russia's Maxim Dadashev on July 19 in an International Boxing Federation (IBF) final world title eliminator.

A few days after that fight, which was held in Maryland, Dadashev died as a result of the injuries he suffered on the ring.

Some wonder if Matias will ever be the same, at least mentally, in the aftermath.

“I have not been inside the ring for a fight and it is different from when you train. So far I don't know how my mind will work, but I believe that there should not be a problem. I am asking God that this (past experience) does not affect me,” said Matias to Sara Hernandez.

Matías revealed that after the death of his last opponent, he sent a private message of sympathy Dadashev's Instagram account. He never received a response, which he understands. He also recalled that several fans sent him messages accusing him of being a murderer.

“Many people there (from Russia) wrote to me, calling me a ‘murderer’ and things like that. But he who knows about sport knows that it could have been me. It saddens me (the death of Dadashev), I will not lie. I suffered as if I had been a relative of mine,” Matias said.

Matias also read some of the overseas allegations that Dadashev may have entered the ring with a pre-existing medical condition.

“I understand that it wasn't just the punches in the ring. I understand that there was something else that has not come out,” Matias said.

“(I learned) that we don't know when it's going to be our last day and that this is a pretty serious sport. I recommend to the athletes that if you are not well prepared, mentally and physically, do not do it."

Matias is waiting for the IBF to to advise him of his mandatory status to Josh Taylor, who defeated Regis Prograis a few weeks ago to unify the IBF, WBA world titles at 140-pounds.

i hope dude can put that fight behind him...dude is a legit prospect..prolly best Rican prospect ive seen in a min..dude fights like a prime margarito
