Jorge Melendez managed his second straight win, outpointing Richard Gutierrez over ten rounds Saturday evening in Caguas, Puerto Rico. Scores were 97-92 (twice) and 98-91. Unbeaten lightweight Felix Verdejo continues to cruise through the pro ranks. The 2013 Boxingscene.com Prospect of the Year made quick work of Juan Santiago, drawing blood early before scoring a third round stoppage in front of a partisan crowd. Verdejo, who represented his island in the 2012 London Olympics, was quick out the gate. The quick and lethal fists of the 20-year young Boricua opened up a cut over Santiago's eye, with the Colorado native's night about to get much worse.

BoxingScene.com recently caught up with former two-division champion Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez who faces Daniel Ponce De Leon in a crossroads battle on March 15th that will be televised on SHO Extreme. The Caguas resident spoke on a variety of topics including a proposed showdown between Mikey Garcia and Yuriorkis Gamboa. Lopez has history with both fighters as he was stopped by Garcia last June in four rounds and for years was on a collision course to face Gamboa in a mega-fight. However, those plans were derailed when Lopez suffered two knockout losses to Orlando Salido.
