Does Golden Boy have brilliant matchmaking, or are they just lucky?

Or unlucky if you want to put it another way. Worst part of Garcia winning is that it'll give GB fodder to justify mismatches (on paper at least). You just know they'll bring up Khan-Garcia in the Canelo-Lopez press conference.

Still doesn't excuse the fact that both are JWW's and Lopez is a JWW fighting a JMW.

You could say they are horrible at matchmaking but is a 50-50 thing. Ortiz and Khan have let them down in all the fights that could have taken them to the next level.

I think a lot of GBP matches are very intriguing.

Everybody forgot how they thought the only way Alexander would beat Maidana was by robbery. Instead, Alexander dominated Maidana pretty clearly. Look at Matthysse vs Soto, everybody thought Soto would outbox Matthysse, didn't happen. Ortiz vs Lopez is the FOTY IMO, now Garcia vs Khan happened. These are such great fights to watch. I can't complain.

GBP gets crap for making too good a fight, and putting their young guys in dangerous fights. But look what it results in.

Everybody talking negatively about Canelo-Lopez, even me. But watch the fight be some crazy fire-fight and every one will regret talking bad about it

I liked the Lopez-Ortiz fight, I was never against that. I especially liked Garcia-Khan, other than the way they've been matching Canelo's opponents, I really like the match making so no complaints here. I'm sure we'll get Mares-Moreno at some point.

Some of it is luck, but styles make fights and Golden Boy has had some great one's recently.
Personally, I give them a pass for Canelo-Lopez because the fact is that they attempted to put him in there with some challenging opponents but different things happened. At some point you have to have a fight in place so they decided just to keep Canelo active before moving him onto to bigger challanges.

Unlucky...

They were great fights.. That is usually what they would want to see, except when their fighter is on the losing end.

They did not want Ortiz and Khan (especially) to lose. Because: 1) Josesito Lopez is signed to Dan Goossen and 2) Khan was on the verge of a Mayweather fight and probably would've been up next.

Instead of Canelo-Ortiz they have Canelo-Lopez and instead of Mayweather-Khan (would've been a huge fight regardless of the perceived competitiveness) it's Mayweather-TBA.

Besides babying Canelo they ain't afraid to put their guys in together, Kirkland vs. Angulo wasn't happening and once they were both signed it was booked.

I think GBP is doing great with their matchups lately..some fights might not end up like they expect, but these last ones have been exciting
