Puerto Rican Prospect Felix Verdejo First Pro Fight

I watched the fight last night. Felix looked pretty good, so did his eighteen-year-old opponent. It's a little early to call Verdejo the "next Trinidad". Felix looks promising for a very young fighter, but he doesn't look particularly special. Let's give it a couple of years and ten more fights before we reevaluate. Dulorme looked pretty impressive after sixteen fights, then he got stopped in his seventeenth.

I dint see the big punching power but that was maybe all the bouncing around he was doing that keep him from getting full power and he got cought by some shots so he needs to tighten his defense but that will come remember he is only 19.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostIt was only Chavez's second pro fight. But, in all fairness, Leo looks somewhat promising himself. I felt a little bad for him. Chavez was obviously selected as an "opponent" for Verdejo. He's a good, (very) young fighter, just not as good as Felix. So Chavez took an unnecessary early career loss against a fighter whose future is being looked after. If he sticks with it, Leo might very well have a good career. This early experience against a good quality fighter might benefit him.
