The check hooks were nice but he was getting caught whenever they exchanged. Verdejo is going to have to be one of those guys who box on the outside the entire match. Heavy handed fighters who are more skilled will drop him if he exchanges.

He young doe.....but seriously, he still learning. I hope at some point he gets a hold of a world renowned trainer so he can step it up to the next level. He has the goods but still needs work to do in the defense department!

He fought a guy that wasn't even a real lightweight.

Decent performance by verdejo but he needs to improve the defense and learn to attack the body, too much head hunting. The check hook is very good but he should throw more than one punch at a time.

Najera is a legit fighter, good chin and decent punch.

[Basco]

He fought a guy that wasn't even a real 126 pounder....

You mean the same guy who weighted 147 pounds tonight?

By 22 Canelo had arguably beat Trout, and months later fought Mayweather.
