Comments Thread For: Arum Confident "The Old Verdejo" Will Reappear Saturday Night

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bob Arum is convinced the Felix Verdejo that so impressed the prominent promoter as recently as late last year will reappear Saturday night. Verdejo (21-0, 14 KOs) has won his last two bouts by wide margins, yet hasn't displayed the talent and entertaining style during those two victories that once led Arum and his decision-makers at Top Rank Inc. to consider the former Puerto Rican Olympian a future star.

lol Arum didn't hype him up though. He was hyped since the Olympics. Arum was the first to scoop him up.

No matter, he was "picked". A slow wide puncher who's claim to fame is "never been KOd". SOS, new day. I think if Verdejo lands that big right hand too much, he'll be out of action for a year.

"Arum HOPEFUL "The Old Verdejo" Will Reappear"

This kid has turned out to be a BUM, no heart and the charisma of a ****ing rock. Just a lifeless sack of overrated poo who will get smashed as soon as he faces a C level fighter with power. He will break, he will quit, mark my words. The KID IS WEAK.

And Im Puerto Rican by the way.

I don't agree with you alot but i totally agree with you on this one. This verdejo bum needs to take notes on oscar valdez on how to have heart and balls and not be afraid to fight quality opponents.

At least this guy is fighting often. He just fought last April.
