Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya is upset with the recent twelve round split decision, which saw the unbeaten record of Lucas Matthysse get broken by Zab Judah at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. De La Hoya, who is currently in Mexico to assist with the promotion of Saul Alvarez's fight with Lovemore Ndou on December 4. De La Hola called it "a very bad ruling."

"Matthysse clearly won but he was fighting in Judah's house and it seems that he had to knock him out to get the win," De La Hoya said. "He fought a great fight and this is something that is positive for him and not something negative. The door is open more than ever Lucas, especially at HBO, who are going to want to see him again very soon in another big fight at 140-pounds."

De La Hoya said the loss reminded him of when he lost a split decision to Felix Trinidad over ten years ago. De La Hoya said Matthysse must forward from this and not focus on the loss. The Golden Boy President has plans for the future of Matthysse.

"I thought of when I lost the Trinidad fight, which saw me lose my unbeaten record. Everyone saw me as the winner, except for two judges, and the same thing happened to Matthysse," De La Hoya said. "After the defeat of course I was frustrated, and the same will happen to Lucas, but he must go forward more strongly than ever, train harder and learn an important lesson from this. He is still on the map at 140-pounds and he is still our star."

"I would like to see him fight again soon in Argentina and to do so against a tough opponent like (DeMarcus) "Chop Chop "Corley, who gave Maidana a tough fight. Golden Boy Promotions will always support him. Perhaps, after his display against Judah, many are going to avoid him but we will force even the impossible for Lucas by getting him fights with the stars. He made us very proud with his fight."
