Matias defends his champion title, making it 20 knockouts in 21 fights

31-year-old IBF champion in the first junior welterweight division from Puerto Rico, Subriel Matias (20-1, 20 KOs), successfully defended his title for the first time in a bout against previously unbeaten mandatory contender Shohjahon Ergashev (23-1, 20 KOs) from Uzbekistan.

The contender did not come out for the 6th round.

The official result is RTD 5. The fight took place in Las Vegas as part of the undercard for the clash between David Benavides and Demetrius Andrade.

Matias won the championship title in February when Herminio Ponce refused to continue the fight. Subriel currently is on a run of 5 victories in which the opponent's corner refused to continue the bout.
