[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Hot Puerto Rican lightweight prospect Felix Verdejo (14-0, 10KOs) would love to eventually face WBO interim-super featherweight champion Orlando Salido (42-12-2, 29KOs), who holds knockouts wins over Verdejo's countrymen Orlando Cruz and Juan Manuel Lopez.

Verdejo, who is slowly being groomed to be a future star, returns on Saturday night against experienced Sergio Villanueva at the Bahia Shrine Temple in Orlando, Florida. Both Verdejo and Salido are promoted by Top Rank.

I like this. I like the fight and I like starting to hear things like this from him.

Work on that stamina and defense though! Last fight, both needed some work.

Verdejo beats salido maybe even stops him late imo..

Not ready, he'd get Juanma Lopez'd.

Salido is a tricky bastard and you never know what Salido shows up. He's been dropped multiple times against journeymen and looked like finally the wars caught up to him but when it's a big fight he shows up.

To beat Salido you must whether the storm for 12 rounds and have great stamina. Salido's body shots are vicious.

Only chance Verdejo has is if he stops Salido early with a controversial stoppage.

verdejo is young and hungry and has what it takes to be a future star but salido is a tested veteran who can upset anybody in the sport...

i hope the fight happens soon...

Verdejo is not ready for this fight yet. He has the capabilities to beat Salido, but just not at this moment, he is too young and his chin not anywhere near Salido.

I can see Salido's resiliency to keep coming forward been a problem for Verdejo.

Ugly fight to step up in competition for Verdejo, give it 5 more fights. It will be awesome if he can pull it off considering lomo failed the assignment.
