    Felix Verdejo: Thoughts on young upcomin PR prospect?

    I've seen a few fights of his on youtube and he seems to be a solid strong fighter with great fundamentals. What do you think??

    He has all the qualities to be the next big thing out of Puerto Rico. His height, power, speed and combinations are his best qualities. I really like this kid

      He's definitely one I'm keeping my eye on, he'll be on the undercard of Cotto-Rodriguez, hopefully he fights a semi decent opponent. He does have some things he needs to work on, but he is very talented.

        He is a good young talent with potential will be interested to see how he performs against better competition. Out of the ring he is a good looking kid with a good personality who will bring in many casual boxing fans.

            There is no shame in losing to Vasyl Lomachenko.

              verdejo is pretty much the next in line to inherit the pr throne from cotto like cotto did as tito retired.

              I'm glad loma signed with tr. they can start building both of them up for the future. perhaps meeting down the line in a superfight in a few years.

                I've watched all his fights so far, he has the potential to be the next p.r. star. he was tested well his last fight, some Mexican was putting non-stop pressure but he handled it well.

                    I agree I believe he has alot of potential. Hes only 19 and undefeated. Yes hes beat a few bums in fashion but thats whats expected of him so im not mad at'em. I'd like to see how he manages once his level of comp is better. His last fight I also watched as well and was pretty impressed with how he handled being pressured and fighting backing up. His left hook is lethal to the body and head and he has wilfredo gomez in his corner. I believe he can be the next big thing for PR. Hes very talented and a special kid
