Liam Paro and Richardson Hitchins are in their prime at 28 and 27, respectively. However, Paro has a slight height advantage, at 5’10“ compared to Hitchins’5’9.” This could give the Australian a reach advantage, although official reach numbers are not available.
Paro has campaigned primarily at junior welterweight (140 pounds), while Hitchins has fought primarily at lightweight (135 pounds). This suggests that Paro may have a natural size advantage, as he has been the bigger man in recent fights. However, Hitchins’ struggles to reach the lightweight limit could negate this potential advantage if he enters the ring closer to the junior welterweight limit of 140 pounds.

Why bet on Paro?
Liam Paro, a 28-year-old Australian boxer, has been making waves in the junior welterweight division. With a professional record of 25 wins (15 by knockout) and 0 losses, Paro has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. His aggressive style and heavy hands have earned him the respect of fans and experts alike.
For Liam Paro, fighting in Puerto Rico has a special meaning. It was on this very island where the 28-year-old Australian scored one of the biggest wins of his career, defeating local favorite Subriel Matias to capture the junior welterweight title.
That hard-fought victory not only earned Paro a coveted championship belt but also cemented his reputation as a fighter capable of overcoming adversity in enemy territory. The raucous Puerto Rican crowd was firmly behind Matias that night, but Paro was undeterred, delivering a gritty performance that silenced the skeptics.
Why bet on Hitchins?
On the other hand, Richardson Hitchins, a 27-year-old New Yorker, boasts an impressive record of 18 wins (7 by knockout) and 0 losses. Hitchins is known for his slick boxing skills and excellent footwork, which he uses to outbox his opponents. Despite his recent admission of fighting with weight cuts, Hitchins remains a formidable opponent.
Richardson Hitchins’ road to this title opportunity has not been without its challenges. In his most recent fight against Gustavo Lemos, Hitchins emerged victorious by unanimous decision but was candid in admitting that his performance lacked the crispness and freshness he normally brings to the ring.
The 27-year-old New Yorker attributed the poor performance to the difficulties he faced in dropping weight for the fight. The process of shedding those last few pounds can be a grueling ordeal for boxers, often leaving them exhausted and compromised as they move into the ring.
Hitchins has long been touted as a top prospect out of New York. While he may have disappointed in his last outing against Gustavo Lemos, a decisive win over a proven fighter like Paro would herald his arrival as a force to be reckoned with in the 140-pound weight class.
Final Betting Analysis: Paro vs. Hitchins
This showdown promises to be an exciting clash of contrasting styles. Paro is a relentless pressure fighter who loves to engage his opponent and unleash furious combinations. His aggressive, swarming style has overwhelmed many opponents with its sheer volume and intensity.
Hitchins, on the other hand, is a skilled boxer who excels at fighting on the outside and tearing his opponents apart with precise and accurate punches. His movement, footwork, and generalship in the ring allow him to control the pace and distance of a fight.
When an aggressive slugger like Paro meets a skilled boxer like Hitchins, it often produces fireworks. Paro will look to cut off the ring, manhandle Hitchins on the inside, and choke him with punches.
Hitchins must use his footwork to create angles, stick and move, and counter Paro’s advances with sharp, jabbing shots. If Hitchins gets caught on the ropes or allows Paro to get going, he could find himself under sustained attack. Conversely, if Paro cannot find a way to get into Hitchins’longer range, he may have difficulty landing his heavy artillery.
We’ll go for a victory for Paro by unanimous decision.
