Felix Verdejo VS William Silva
http://www.zonadeboxeo.com/images/stories/boxeo3/Verdejo-vs-Silva_84d25.jpg
Verdejo is crap man, and I am PRican btw. As soon as he fights a C level pressure fighter who actually throws, he will break. Verdejo has no fire, and no heart (you can tell just looking at his lifeless face). A very boring fighter too, even when he had a punching bag in front of him who rarely opened up, he was hesitant to up the activity level. He looked average against an opponent like that, when at this point in your career (IF YOU ARE A TRUE PROSPECT) you should be looking impressive and/or hurting/knocking these fools out.
EVEN JUANMA LOPEZ looked more dominating at this point in his career. VERDEJO IS NOTHING special.
After Cotto, WE HAVE NOTHING. And McArroyo about to get his ass whooped by Chocolatito. Thankfully, I am not nationalistic and I support white fighters (just like others support black fighters, Asian fighters, Hispanic fighters ETC) who are warriors, so it really doesn't affect me as much as it does other boricuas.
Is the fight any good? Debating on downloading it or not.
It was basically a stay busy fight wasn't it?
Lundy actually got to him a few times in the first. Bud took over though, didn't go the distance so won't be as big of a download/long of a watch for you
I just read an article trashing Crawford on his win against Lundy, was on boxing 24 something. Not only they labelled his style boring in previous article, but now they are so desperate to see him loose that they even suggest he should move up to 155 and vacate his 140 belt. This is ridiculous, he already moved from 135 to 140, i can see him dominate 147 too, but to go 157 to face Canelo or even GGG is just stupid. Why cant they just accept Crawford is the best from 135 to 147? Whatever, i say fck them, if they cant enjoy Crawford fights, then they should not watch any boxing
I'm Team TC all day but he his getting lit up with way too many counters. 140 is probably a safe bet but i cant pick him over Manny, Bradley, Garcia, Thurman and Brook with a straight face just yet.
I even think Peterson can give him some issues.

Hank Lundy is a good challenge, but to say he's the best 135-147 is pretty stupid considering Manny smokes him easily. That leaving his chin in the air stupidness is gonna get him roasted soon. No need to keep getting hit cleanly if you don't have to.

Boxing news 24 are full of trolls

Victor Postol couldn't stop Lundy.
Yeah he finished him impressively but I know what I'm watching and Crawford ain't gonna go very far until he fixes some things. His chin being up in the air seems like it's gonna remain an issue.
let's say your scenario is right, I wouldn't doubt if Bradley retires is he beat Pac. He's been getting bigger and bigger in between camps and I know him cutting all that weight is a b.tch after so many years.
But he probably won't retire and I'm pretty sure he's going to try to get the winner of Khan-Canelo. He's been talking about moving up for awhile now
I hope not...I'd rather he retire than go after Canelo. I can't see anyway that Khan beats Nelo so I'll just assume that Bradley would be going after the bigger opponent which would just be insane. If he retired, I would not be mad at all. I'd actually prefer him to fight the winner of Porter and Thurman if that fight ever does happen.
People don't like/want to admit or acknowledge that Bradley suffered injuries in both Pac fights but the bottom line is he did. With him being trained by Atlas now and if he doesn't suffer some type of injury, I think Bradley wil outbox Pac and win the fight. I'm sure I am in the minority by far but if you look at the JMM fights, he got progressively better in each bout with Pac. Bradley looked much better in the first 4 rounds or so of the rematch until he tore his calf muscle, that was when he tried to be a KO machine and tossed his game plan out of the window.
I think he will tag Pac with right hands in this fight and actually hurt him. I can see him winning the fight and then it will be weird seeing how Bradley and Crawford are friends. I guess Crawford fights Ruslan (as they hinted to tonight) and if he wins, Postol is up next. My question is who would Bradley fight?

Right. Nothing has really prepared Terence for that moment. I like Crawford a lot, but he should be focusing on Postol/Broner before trying to get in there with Pacquiao

I can just see Pac hitting him with some crazy combo in round 1 and Crawford not being able to recover completely. Like he gets dropped or something and that being the first time he has ever been down, throws him off the entire rest of the fight. Especially with it being his first PPV fight, that's a lot of pressure, the big stage.....

Nobody's beating Crawford at 140. As far as a potential fight with Manny, I feel that Crawford is more than capable of winning. My only concern is that he can't let Manny be catching him early and getting off to a good start. Pac's a different animal in there obviously.
He can't get off to the slow start that he usually does if he fights Pac. Giving someone on that level momentum and confidence is a terrible thing
