Junior welterweight Liam Paro may not be the most vocal fighter in the arena, yet his potential and prowess are undeniable. Quinton Randall, his chief sparring partner, holds a unique perspective on Paro's abilities.

Uncover the Hidden Power of Liam Paro in the Boxing Ring

Paro's Journey to the Top

Liam Paro, at 28 years old, has an impeccable record of 25-0 with 15 knockouts. His decisive victory over Subriel Matias in June marked a significant milestone as he claimed the IBF title. This bout took place in Matias' native Puerto Rico, where Paro now returns to defend his hard-earned title against Richardson Hitchins. Hitchins, a 27-year-old undefeated New Yorker with a record of 18-0 and 7 knockouts, initially made excuses about not liking the IBF rules. But now, with Paro as the champion, he suddenly wants to fight for the IBF title.This isn't Paro's first significant win. He has followed up his victory over Matias with another triumph over Montana Love. A win over Hitchins would be his third consecutive big win, solidifying his position at the top of the 140lbs division.

The Impact of Sparring with Randall

Quinton Randall spent weeks as Paro's chief sparring partner before Saturday's IBF junior welterweight title defense in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The fight will be broadcast on DAZN. Randall initially expected to stay in camp for two weeks but ended up staying the entire duration and traveling with Paro's team for fight week.Reflecting on his time in camp, Randall said, "I was surprised how strong he was. I didn't know he had that type of power. He has an extremely fast workrate and has been extremely disciplined this camp. We built a great bond as well."This close association with Randall has likely had a positive impact on Paro's training and performance. It shows his dedication and willingness to work with the best to improve his skills.

Paro's Underappreciated Talent

Despite his impressive record and recent successes, Paro is often overlooked and underrated. Randall believes this is unjust. "He was supposed to get way more credit for beating Subriel in his own backyard. That was a huge win. Nobody wanted to fight Subriel. He was considered the boogeyman of the division, and rightfully so, and Liam beat him convincingly."Paro's ability to defeat tough opponents and perform consistently is a testament to his talent and determination. He is proving that he belongs among the top fighters in his weight class.
