Subriel Matias seeks redemption against Roberto Ramirez in a junior welterweight clash, while Jeyvier Cintron faces Rashib Martinez in a bantamweight bout with title implications.
Matias vs. Ramirez: A Battle for Redemption and Momentum
Subriel Matias and Roberto Ramirez are all set for their junior welterweight clash on Saturday night, with both fighters hitting the 140-pound limit at Friday’s weigh-in. This showdown, happening at the Ruben Rodriguez Coliseum in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, will be the main event of a five-fight card streaming live on PPV.com.
For Matias, this fight is about redemption. The 32-year-old from Puerto Rico, a former junior welterweight champion, is looking to get back in the win column after a tough loss to Liam Paro in June. With 20 wins, 2 losses, and every single victory by knockout, Matias is known for his knockout power and relentless style. He’s ready to reclaim his spot as a top contender and make a statement in front of his home crowd.
On the other side of the ring, Ramirez, a 31-year-old from San Diego, is riding a wave of momentum. He’s on a three-fight win streak, pushing his record to 26-3-1 with 19 knockouts. Ramirez’s last loss came in 2020 against William Zepeda, but he’s rebounded strong and is looking to keep that streak alive with a marquee win over a former champ.
Cintron vs. Martinez: Bantamweight Showdown and Title Implications
In the co-main event, Puerto Rican bantamweight Jeyvier Cintron faces Rashib Martinez from Mexico. Cintron made weight at 118 pounds, but Martinez came in slightly heavy at 119.2 pounds. Only Cintron, who boasts a 12-1 record with 9 knockouts, will be eligible for the secondary title up for grabs. After a hard-fought New Year’s Eve loss to Kazuto Ioka, Cintron is back to prove himself in front of a supportive home crowd. Martinez, who’s on a three-fight win streak himself, is aiming to keep his own momentum going despite missing weight.
Puerto Rican fans are in for a treat, ready to cheer on their hometown fighters for what’s shaping up to be an action-packed night of boxing.
