One of Bob's guys is getting a crack at a WBO belt? Amazing!

If it's on ESPN that would be great. I have a feeling Verdejo might get sparked out.

im guessing you have never seen flanaghan before

Verdejo is a overrated as hell but flangahan is TERRIBLE

Verdejo has looked very shaky and disappointing but this is a winnable fight for him because Flanagan is not very good the weakest link belt holder at 135. If Verdejo is committed and brings his A game he's the more talented fighter and should win. If he comes in looking like he has recently he'll get taken out. But whoever wins gets smashed by the other title holders. lol

You're not kidding. Machado does have a really big punch. I was just watching some highlights of Machado and saw a few one punch KO's Tommy Hearns style, Lol. That's why they call this kid El Explosivo.


Looking forward to seeing how these prospects grow.

Check out Joseph "Blessed Hands" Adorno, 18 year old kid. He's got some pop. He just started his career, I'll be keeping an eye on him. He has 4 fights, all 4 ending in 1st round KO. He has a really good amateur record. Hopefully one of these dudes will take the torch and carry on the tradition.

Ur not kidding about Joseph Adorno he looks impressive already, that Right hand ufff... lets see how they develop i'm tired of hyped this prospects them they fail on me...

Yeah, I'm tired too of prospects and young fighters failing. Someone will come through though, we are due for someone to emerge.

Verdejo has had ample break-in time.
It is time for his mommy to dress him up, feed him, and send him out to the world of Easter, Linares, and Garcia. And may The Lord have mercy on his soul

he is WAY YOUNGER than those guys, they should be the ones praying that Verdejo dont KO Flanagan and look like the blue chip we hope he is, they know is TROUBLE.
