Verdejo may not be ready. Maybe his people are right, and he needs to be brought along oh so slowly. He either faces bigger lightweights or a starvation diet, so let him grow.

Another fight where the big guy just walked thru the little guy. Verdejo is a huge mfer!

I completely agree. Canelo was 50 and 0, or something, before we saw his real class. Now he has his own weight division and taking on all comers. Cough.

What is this writer talking about 12 dull rounds. Granted that Verdajo kid is nasty nasty nasty with it. I can't to see him again. But that Axe Man fight was a high paced, power punching, technical, fight. All of the fighters were great on both channels to me.

this. I thought Walters-Marriaga was a great high paced, technical fight. I really don't recall any "booing" or "protesting" - I don't know why this author, Jake Donovan, is pushing this propaganda.

Honestly heard more complaints about Verdejo during the fight than compliments. Thought the Waltrs-Marriaga fight was a good bout even though it was one sided.
