    Anyone else excited about Felix Verdejo?

    As the title says...he landed a beautiful two piece with the left and knocked out his opponent in 21 seconds. He had a good four rounder to start off his career.

    He has speed, obvious skills, good technique and looks marketable. Needs to learn some english, but from a boxing perspective, is anyone else excited about this kid?

    Yes. I felt he was one of the standouts in this past Summer Olympics.

      *** tom brady was obviously the correct choice so i chose that but in all seriousness i like this kid a lot and hope great things for him it is way to early to tell how he will turn out but he is in good hands with top rank because they are the best in the business @ matchmaking. I can see Felix Verdejo becoming Puerto Rico's next star though.

        Very impressed with him. Good speed and power. Decent feet movement and long arms, I think that might help him in the long run. his elbows almost reach his trunks when he hold his hands up. Good for blocking and staying out of reach. I hope his handlers bring him up slowly and steady. He has the frame to grow into a WW.

          That's what I'm looking forward to as well. WW is home to so many greats. Not saying he's getting there prematurely, its just a great division to be in.

          I love how he puts his punches together. With speed and precision. That dude did not know what hit him.

                I can usually spot PR hypejobs from a mile away.

                Verdejo isn't a hype job. He's good and is on his way.

                    Same as others, very impressed in the Olympics. His pro debut wasn't that impressive, however his opponent was way more talented than expected. Great tools, should go far.
