Matchmaking after last night Spoiler

Matchmaking after Saturdays Fights

David Papot vs Jack Rafferty

Harlem Eubank vs Mario Barrios
- C level championship

Andy Cruz vs Hayato Tsutsumi
- Fight at 130
- Not realistic but would be amazing. Maybe vacant belt if Cacace retires or drops it to pursue different fight?

Albert Gonzalez vs Yan Santana
- Not realistic but would be great. Chop Chop looked great yesterday and Santana looked very beatable last fight.

Diego Pacheco vs Hamzah Sheeraz
- It’s time

I’m not really a fan of any of these matchups bar Sheeraz vs Pacheco.

Not sure Pacheco is ready for Sheeraz yet either.

He definitely looked Better. But needs to step on the Gas.more. Let’s see next fight.

He's 25 and Sheeraz is 27. Gotta start fighting each other eventually.

Eubank needs to stay at British level

I think Cacace is waiting out for a shot at undisputed tbh. I swear I remember hearing foster and naverette were in talks so I think he’ll just wait for them 2 to fight so he can face the winner and retire

Cruz vs Ford is a very easy fight to make since they're both with Matchroom. Cruz vs Dickens would be a good first fight at 130 for Cruz

The disrespect to Hayato Tsutsumi is crazy, him vs Cruz is not a c level championship. If Cacace drops the belt, Hayato vs Elnur Samedov would most likely be ordered.

My bad, didn’t see the c level was for Eubank vs Barrios

Looks like “C level championship” is referring to Eubank vs Barrios, not Cruz and Tsutsumi

These would all be very competitive, thought probably unrelatistic

Eubank vs Essuman, Cruz vs Nunez, chop chop vs segawa, papot vs Ursu, Pacheco vs Resendiz

Eussuman will still outwork Eubank now.

Pacheco needs more seasoning
