How bad are the Matchroom matchmakers?

[Mammoth]

Joshua vs Ruiz
Warrington vs Lara
Whyte vs Povetkin
Barrett vs Martinez
Ritson vs Vazquez
Eggington vs Mwakinyo
Gill vs Tinoco

Also potentially Kelly vs Avanesyan and Gill vs Juarez next week.

[Mammoth]

Smith vs Ryder......

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

Very well said.

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
