In hindsight, how bad was Top Rank's matchmaking here? Adan Gonzales already held one undefeated prospect to a lucky draw, and otherwise has only faced guys that are barely professionals, soa total wildcard. I know Ramirez was looked at as the real deal, but they start guys off light in the pros for a reason.

I think it was fine. Ramirez was looked upon as something special. He definitely took this kid lightly though and that is on him. Adan came to win and that is what he got. It could have ended up much worse if Top Rank set him up with a seasoned journeyman. At least with this it is something of a wake up call instead of a stoppage loss.
Robeisy definitely needs work though.Comment
