Both fighters are hungry for victory, and fans can expect a fierce battle between two top-tier talents.
Pre-Fight Banter: Mind Games and Trash Talk
As the fight date approaches, the trash talk between Paro and Hitchins is heating up. In a promotional segment called Liam Paro vs. Richardson Hitchins: Face Off on Matchroom Boxing’s YouTube channel, Hitchins didn’t hold back. He said, “I wanted to fight you as soon as I signed with Matchroom,” showing he’s ready to take on the challenge.
Paro wasn’t about to let that slide, firing back with a grin, “We’re after the big names, and sadly, you ain’t it yet.” This exchange showcases Paro’s confidence and belief in his status as the champion. He even took a jab at Hitchins’ knockout power, pointing out his “single-digit knockout ratio.” Ouch! That’s some serious shade.
Punch Resistance Under Fire
The conversation has turned to each fighter’s ability to take a hit, and that’s where things get interesting. Hitchins is proud of the fact that he’s never been knocked down. He emphasized this by saying, “Weight-drained Richardson Hitchins has been hit by guys with 12, 13 straight knockouts—I didn’t go down.” It’s clear he believes he can take a punch.
On the flip side, Paro’s past has some fans worried. He was knocked down in his fight against Yomar Alamo, and Hitchins is using that to his advantage. “How did that guy put you down? I want to see where your jaws are at,” Hitchins taunted. This kind of mental sparring is all part of the game, and it adds another layer of intrigue to the matchup.
