Comments Thread For: Felix Verdejo Decision Flores, First FIght After Motorcycle Accident

Good point...

Puerto Rico boxing is pure **** these days.

I can't rag on them cause Cuban boxing is pretty weak as of right now too.

verdejo is the real deal...

Flanagan better get this payday before one of these other guys spoils it. Felix is not dancing, no more side to side, the "blazing" speed is sporadic, and he's telegraphing (like his hands hurt). Flanagan needs to hurry up.

Was it me, or did Verdejo swing and missed a lot of his punches tonight. A lot of those rounds were really close imo.

When they interviewed his trainer, he said that they were looking for a tough southpaw, that pretty much confirms that they're going after Flanagan's belt.

1 win v's a B fighter any gets a title shot incredible...... @ least fight a contender...

I understand that Verdejo is coming off an injury from the accident but even before then he seemed to be regressing. If things don't change he's gonna go the juanma route and lose to someone he's expected to beat before his career can really take off. Only difference is at least juanma won world titles in 2 divisions before his career tanked.

unfortunately all of Latino boxing is on a decline currently. Argentina had a golden stretch with Martinez, mathysse and maidana which came to an end. PR has no world champions other than a girl, mexico has 1 top 20 fighter who continues to take on mismatch fights and will do so again against another Mexican who hasn't done anything in 5 yrs. Cuba has 2 top fighters whose careers have gone nowhere due to inactivity and lack of willing opponents.

Forget about the title both Verdejo & "Pitufo" Diaz should fight 6 times per year

Mexican boxing will never fall off like puerto ricos, cuba, argentine, phillipines
MX Been dominating since the 80s up til 2017 and no other latin nation since has had the production of champions, contenders and hall of famers

I disagree. Mexican boxing is looking pretty good with Canelo, Cuadras (arguably beat the P4P #1), Santa Cruz and Estrada all being elite fighters, with Berchelt, Valdez and Nery following closely behind, plus solid depth in pretty much every division from 130 lbs and below

Cuban amateur boxing is as strong as it's ever been. The only difference is that not many of them have defected lately

Argentina has Castano and the younger Maidana

Puerto Rico is in a rough patch, but Diaz, Acosta, Rodriguez, Machado and Santiago could potentially win world titles at some point
