Verdejo "The Diamond " is back. Haters in 3,2,1.

Verdejo is so trash man and a ****ing coward fighting smaller/inferior fighters like this and still looks average. As soon as he fights ATLEAST a C level fighter with power HIS SIZE, he gets broken and will quit. He fights like a coward against mediocre opposition.

And Im PRican btw. Even Juanma looked more impressive at this stage fighting this type of opposition. Verdejo runs, misses and has no heart again CRAP opposition. STEP UP BISH.

Igual jaja. No lo soporto brother, ni como habla. No tiene animo alguno y se refleja en el ring.

No le veo el corazon boricua.

A juanma a pesar de como termino, lo respeto. Peleaba con cojones de verdad.

The radar picked up a bunch of Puerto Rican hating on his own people. Like always Puerto Rican people are like **** if they don't eat the cheese they **** and piss on it. Haters in 3,2,1.

I have mixed feelings...

On one hand, Verdejo seems very talented. Tall, athletic, boxer-puncher with good hand speed, decent power, good arsenal of combinations of punches, counter punching ability, and timing.

On the other hand, his stamina is questionable, at times moves excessively, and he has a tendency to leave himself open when trying to finish an opponent, and of course until he's tested by a top guy, his chin will remain a question mark.

He's had performances where he's looked good, and then in recent fights he's looked mediocre. Whether it's due to questionable commitment or an inexperienced trainer, we just don't know.

He was supposed to fight Jose Felix until Felix turned the fight down, but I have heard that it may happen this year. Overall, it's time to put Verdejo in there with somebody who is a threat to his "0." What makes or breaks some fighters is their level of opposition. The great ones RAISED their game when it came time to face those true tests, and the ones who were not of elite level obviously failed at top level. It's just time to find out what he's truly made of.

Put him in there with Jose Felix. If Verdejo is NOT the real deal, Felix will expose that.

And the commentators on the feed I was watching did nothing but talk Martinez up with his new training regiment & nutritionist & whatnot...Verdejo's win was deserving...he came to win.
