Top Rank wants to make Felix Verdejo vs Orlando Salido in 2015. Discuss.

Tough fight for my boy Verdejo. Ill like that fight by the end of 2015, Felix could have 2-3 more and should be up into 10+ rounds. Kids is the truth!

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

Salido is gonna have to ko Verdejo to win. I'm still surprised arum let him beat loma

Good fight... I think Verdejo is a future p4p guy but salido is a huge step up... A true pretender or contender fight for Felix

Damn, it would be a great fight, only I'm worried it is too early for Verdejo to fight that caliber of fighter, we saw what happened with Lomachenko.

They should let him fight someone with an engine. Monte Meza Clay might be a good tune-up before a Salido fight. Rod Salka whooped Clay's ass.

O hell yeah!!!! Much props to Salido but felix is to good to lose . Best prospect in boxing . Spence and Valdez are better Prospects than Verdejo.

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.

Sorry I forgot what you said... who is the girl in the pic? Uldouz Wallace.

IDK...perhaps Felix will succeed where Loma failed. Maybe he needs to fight another two step up fights and fight Siri mid 2015

Too early IMO, but if they want to see if he's the goods, then a fight against Siri is how you find out lol.
