One can sense the frustration in Mauricio Herrera's voice. Dejected at decisions rendered against him in his fights against Danny García and José Benavidez Jr last year, the Californian is anxious to get back into the ring against a big name.

"I'm hoping to fight in June, we're looking for an opponent right now," Herrera explained to BoxingScene.com.

"Hopefully we get something good, that's what I'm pushing for. Golden Boy is trying to find somebody and I hope I hear from them pretty soon.

"I want to face anybody, the winner of Matthysse-Provodnikov! Who knows how they are going to come out of that fight, the winner of that would be nice. I don't know if Golden Boy and Al Haymon are doing business just yet but they will down the line, hopefully. I still want Danny García or Lamont Peterson. I'm willing to go to 147lbs to fight someone. Even Adrien Broner in June, I've asked for that fight as well.

"Nobody has mentioned Amir Khan to me but I'd fight him, I'd go to 147lbs for that. At this point in my career I'm not afraid of anybody. I've fought some tough dogs in the past - I'm prepared for anybody now. I'm really pushing Golden Boy to give me a big name, someone the fans would like to see. I feel if I don't find a big name I may just fade out, what with the robberies. I have to keep being in there and that will keep me current."

Herrera watched the clash between his old rival García and Peterson last weekend and, like the vast majority of observers saw a tight affair while stressing once again his desire for a rematch with the Philadelphian.

"I thought it was a close fight, I've got to watch it again. García was fading at the end, almost similar to my fight. It was a close fight but Danny got busted up, that tells you something there. I'd go to welterweight to fight him, he's not a fast fighter, he's kind of slow. I'm willing to take him on and I can do much better than the first one. I have him all figured out."

In his last ring outing Herrera was again on the receiving end of some questionable scoring against young, talented, José Benavidez Jr. Reflecting back on the bout, the 34-year-old is still at odds to explain how the judges in Las Vegas did not view him as the winner.

"I've been watching it over and over because I feel I won the fight. I don't see where they can give him the win, which rounds they gave him. I see a guy trying to go the distance. He was green and it was his biggest fight. It seems he's not trying to win the rounds. I thought it would be more action packed and he would show more offensive, try and exchange with me, a guy who they say doesn't hit hard. Obviously he was afraid of something, he was having his guard nice and tight against the ropes. It's hard to make the fight with someone who's tall and is trying for one shot at a time.
