        True and agreed on Yafai vs Gonzalez but that worked out for them.

          Otha Jones III looks to have potential and just had a draw in his last fight. He's fighting a 13-1 fighter next.

            Not sure if it's the matchmaking instead of the quality of the fighters and training, to begin with.

            I'm a hardcore boxing fan but I've never seen Warrington until yesterday. I heard about him before. Now I know why. Basic, face first caveman.

            Ruiz-Joshua 1 also says more about Joshua than anything.

              The English promoters haven’t figured out that you don’t give Mexican underdogs a chance to win big.

              American promoters figured it out a long time ago.

                idk i can't blame promoters when the other fighters is like a +10-1 underdog, it just means the other fighter is just not that good

                    You're right, they need to give me a job, I'd do a much better job than the guys they have doing it right now. I wonder how much research those dudes actually do into opponents. I bet most matchmakers don't watch as much boxing as hardcore fans
