By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions are reportedly in the process of putting together the finishing touches of negotiations between welterweight Frankie Gomez (20-0, 13 KOs) and 35-year-old Mauricio Herrera (22-5, 7 KOs) for the undercard of the HBO pay-per-view fight between WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Amir Khan.
Both Herrera and Gomez are moving up in weight to 147. Gomez, 24, already moved up in weight a couple of fights ago after struggling to make the 140lb division weight limit. However, Gomez came in at 150 for his fight against Jorge Silva last October, and you have to wonder how long he’ll be able to make weight for the 147lb division.
I’m sure Golden Boy wants to try to keep Gomez at 147 somehow, because that division gives him his best and possibly his only chance of being a major player.
By Jim Dower: Golden Boy Promotions are working tirelessly to finalize the negotiations for the welterweight clash between Lucas Matthysse and Mauricio Herrera for the undercard of the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Amir Khan card on HBO pay-per-view from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Golden Boy expects the Matthysse-Herrera fight negotiations to be wrapped up by next week possibly. It’s a great fight matching two of the best fighters that recently moved up from the light welterweight division to take this fight. 
By Jeff Aranow: Former light welterweight title challenger Lucas Matthysse (37-4, 34 KOs) will be moving up to the 147lb division for his next fight on the undercard of the May 7 fight card headlined by WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Amir Khan on HBO pay-per-view at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Chris Williams: WBO light welterweight champion Terence Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) won’t be getting the big money fight that he was hoping for in early 2016 against Manny Pacquiao, but he does have a good chance of fighting 35-year-old #3 WBO Mauricio Herrera (22-5, 7 KOs) on February 27th at Madison Square Garden in New York. 
By Nate Estrada: Often when we watch boxing, our expectations are more than seeing a good fight. Some of us want to see a slugfest, a KO or a great comeback. Sometimes we get them, sometimes we don’t. Then there are times when we see something great and don’t even know it. Like that time Mauricio Herrera (21-5-0, 7 KOs) fought Ruslan Provodnikov (25-4-0, 18 KOs).
