Comments Thread For: Photos: Felix Verdejo Returns, Gets Decision Over Oliver Flores

[Tomasio]

Top Rank has done a great job promoting Verdejo & has sold him as the next "superstar", but his actions show doubts..Till this day Verdejo has not fought a top quality opponent, NOT EVEN a ranked fighter among the top 10 yet with some of the B & C fighters he's had to somewhat struggle & has not impressed..Funny how Oscar Valdez, Lomachenko, Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk & Errol Spence jr are all from the same Olympic cycle as Verdejo yet most of these mentioned are already world champions(exept Spence jr, but he's already beaten top level opponents & an exworld champion) while Verdejo is still fighting tomato cans..

Still a prospect... could he handle Mikey ...define not now.

This kid has tremendous athleticism, but fights with the same pattern jab right hand, one jab, leaps in with a right hand, counters with a left hook,
Circle and does it all over again.

Unfortunately he isn't getting better his trainer doesn't cut it to me!!

Have you seen Flanagan? He's a big boy for lightweight and worlds above Flores. I'm not a big Flanagan fan, but Verdejo looks bad. My money is on Flanagan.

Flanagan is the WEAKEST Champion currently at 135 IMO yeah I seen him fight a few times, look forward to the fight with Petr Petrov in April though would be a solid win for him if he beats Petrov

I forgot about Petrov. I don't know what Warren has planned, but Petrov makes Verdejo look slow.

the kid just came back off a long lay off, recovering from a motorcycle accident. and he is still young, give him a break. i do think he should switch trainers, def have not seen any improvements.
