        They sign them but they don't promote them right in my opinion. The young fighters get star-struck.

              Nah, Mares is fighting someone else, not sure who. But yeah, Mares is a perfect example of what is wrong with Golden Boy. What have they done with this gentleman since signing him?

                Ortiz's opponent will be named soon, just wait for a couple of days. He is training serious though guyz a hard hitter..and will KO his TBA opponent..

                    i've seen victor fight a few times and i have to say he looks very good, and is extremly exiting to watch.

                      Get some valuable exposure on PPV by destorying that filipino prospect Gabi was pretty good. Then he's also been fighting on telefutura to get exposure to mexican fight fans.

                      GBP has made some progress with him, but I think you are right overall. If one area Golden Boy has to improve it's prospects. Hopefully teaming up with USA boxing will find them some good ones.
