This fight has completely caught my attention. The atmosphere for this fight would be electric where ever it takes place.

It would be a good fight
Just a shame that a 'title' is involved, as Salido is possibly the weakest of the lot
and we know Verdejo isn't going to fight Miura or Uchiyama
130 is certainly a strange division
I think it's to early for salido. I'd say at least two more fights. But if they are going to make it for 2015, hopefully they can make it the undercard for the cotto canelo fight
I would like to see Felix fight a 10 round fight before taking on Salido, But if he wants to show the world he belongs among the elites, Salido, a fighter we ricans remember too well, would be the perect fight to take next year. Add to that Salido beat Lomachenko, the last guy to beat Verdejo in the AMs.
Would take the fight late next year.
Too much too soon again. Salido has a lot of experience, just ask Loma.
On the flip side timing might be on Felix's side for this bout, Salido is ring worn but he simply has too much experience
Too much too soon possible...
Look at what salido did to lomachenko...
Look at Dulorme vs abregu, Russell jr vs lomachenko...
It would be too soon.
Verdejo could be the heir to the thrown for PR once Cotto retires.
You don't want to do anything to rush this kid. Especially against a rugged guy like Salido, who will doesn't give a ***** who you are, he'll give you a tough fight.
Damn.. If only Felix had more experience this fight would have been perfect... And I mean perfect as a Cotto vs Canelo undercard.
That would be orgasmic if this ended up on that undercard. Would literally be anarchy in the pr/mex war. Sign me up

That would be ideal. Adds to the rivalry. If Bob Arum is smart, he will do that.
Yeah but Arum likes to marinate fights :lol1: however aging this fight would only benefit the younger star :)
Verdejo vs. Salido would be awesome, :headbang:.
Abner Mares/Jhonny Gonzalez/Leo Santa Cruz vs. Jayson Velez is a great alternative. I think Cotto always makes sure he gets Velez a spot on his undercards.
Insane card! Holy **** would that be worth every penny.
