How bad are the Matchroom matchmakers?

[BoxingIsGreat]

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.

Can you give examples of many Americans avoiding Mexicans, at the top level? Davis is crucified for cherrypicking them. That Lara guy wasn't even ranked while Santa Cruz was a champ.

Saying this to demonsstrate the gap between North American and UK boxing.

Katie Taylor is the best the UK has to offer. I heard from someone she's not from the UK. Anyway, Frampton was good too, in his younger years.

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.

This right here. The matchroom guys were heavy favorites. Not Hearns or the matchmakers fault they couldn’t do what they were supposed to do. Joshua was capable of beating Ruiz as we saw in the rematch. His loss was nobodies fault but his own.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

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.

They clearly don’t do their research. I think they’re happy blindly taking risks as long as they can bring guys in on the cheap.

It’s Fury and Taylor. They are our only two elite fighters. The rest are a level below.

There’s a young Irish fighter called Paddy Donovan coming through atm as well. I have high expectations for him.

I'd rather have tough and dangerous match making than safe cherry picks with obvious outcomes and then all the hype of greatness after the obvious win.

Bad matchmaking or testing challenges? I'm sure the Boxers and coaches have a say in this too.

At least they're giving us juicy upset potential. What were the PBC/Top Rank upsets through last year? Wilder? J-Rock? Subriel Matias lesser upset? Fully sloshed right now so can't think of any ESPN Top Rank ones or more PBC ones but must be more.'

Funny how 2 of them still won too:

Barrett vs Martinez
Ritson vs Vazquez

I'd never heard of Jordan Gill but I watched Cordina vs Tinoco and quite like what I saw from Joe.

He has a fight coming up March 20th TBA too so looking forward to that one.

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

Don`t understand your question. I watch boxing because of that kind of fights.

I like Fury more than Wilder. He's a character and somewhat skilled. Katie tho is the complete package. I don't care about her gender and been a fan since the get-a special fighter. I love her and salute her. One of the best female boxers ever. She's past her prime now or almost there.

I think she left her best days in the amateurs. I remember watching her at London 2012 and she looked a level above.

I don’t really follow women’s pro boxing, I’ve seen her once or twice. Thought she lost to that Persoon tbh.
