If Matchroom, once again, deviates from the merit-based formula for selection, there's no reason that the 30th edition can be every bit as bad as the 20th edition.
That said, I suspect Matchroom will stick with the formula of picking those that excel in 2023 at the Mosconi, and if they do, this might indeed be the best ever Mosconi.
