By Miguel Rivera

Undefeated junior lightweight prospect Felix 'The Diamond' Verdejo (6-0, 5KOs) will return on August 10th at the Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In the main event, Puerto Rican Gamalier Rodriguez will defend the NABO featherweight crown against Mexican Jorge Pazos. The Puerto Rican Olympian, 20-years-old, made his debut last December in Las Vegas is on track to close the year with a total of nine professional bouts. His opponent has not yet been announced.

"We will be active on the 10th of August in Pennsylvania," said the trainer and manager of Verdejo, Ricky Marquez, to Carlos Narvaez. "It will be his second fight in a six rounder and we're prepared for that. We have been working with a physicist for the last two months. When returns return to the ring he will perhaps be a little stronger. He seems like a welterweight, but continues to keep on weight. This will be our seventh fight of the year and we have a plan to end the year with nine."
