    I agree, the match making in Boxing sucks big time nowadays especially the guy at Golden Boy Eric Gomez. He is horrifying he has no idea how to build a young fighter or how to make good compelling matchups.

    Cintron lost to Moline clearly and has been pretty inactive over the last couple of years, the skills he once possessed are clearly no longer there, so what exactly will the inevitable win for Canelo prove. There are a lot of fighters that are born with a silver spoon in their mouths and a lot of these Golden Boy/Al Haymon fighters fall into that category, how am I supposed to get hyped by this Sport when they are so few genuinely interesting fights being made and even less compelling fighters to follow. Rant Over :smoke

    Heriberto Ruiz a nobody? Granted, he's not what he once was, and at his best he was probably fringe world level, but he should still represent a relatively decent test for GR.Jr, or, if he's even more past it than it appears on the surface, at least give him a platform to look sensational.:yep

    Has his opponent changed? Thought he was fighting Dat Nguyen?

    A few weeks ago Broner was the new Willie Pep/Charley Burley/Rocky Balboa rolled into one...Canelo is about 11 years of age and unbeaten and drawing staggering crowds...as a kid I would have sold my nan to have heard this on the radio!

    Adios.

    Says who Buncey? Anyone who has watched Broner with half a brain could tell you he's nuttin' special.

    Also, did you get my tweet? Would loveto hear your thoughts on Atkinsons Thai fighters :good

    It's embarrassing matchmaking.

    Cintron is gash lately, living off his name really.

    Golden Girl clearly aren't all that confident in the abilities of their superstar. Hopefully the new head honcho at HBO will insist on better.

    Say what you like about the fights but surely everyone would want to have a chance to watch them.
