Comments Thread For: Arum: Felix Verdejo Very Disappointing; It's a Lack of Discipline

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Before Saturday night, Bob Arum still held out hope for Felix Verdejo. Even after all the injuries, subpar preparation and drama that slowed the lightweight contender's development, his promoter wanted to believe that the Puerto Rican fighter would reach his potential. Not even Arum remains hopeful following Verdejo's 10th-round technical knockout loss Saturday night to Antonio Lozada Jr. in The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

He's a bust. He's going to be like Francisco bojado. All the talent in the world with absolutely nothing to show for it.

I didn't see the fight. Was it an early stoppage? Sad to say but my distrust of Arum is so great that I could see him wanting to get Verdejo a loss in order to teach him a lesson. I don't trust anybody in this sport...

Very disappointing to see talented fighters just waste away natural talent like that but I always questions his Reflexes and Defense and even made the Juanma Lopez awhile back because of his lack of reflexes defensively

[lopez36]

he asked loma who was the best,yeah but that is in the amateurs,this is the pros,totally different,it doesn't matter if he changes trainers,his resistance isn't that good,its like he wobbles or gets hurt when tagged cleanly,others can take punches well,he just can't,even if he survived the tenth and won a decision,he still took a lot of shots and it just takes a toll on him,i don't see him winning against the elite,maybe a vacant title against a guy with no power coming up in weight,thats the only way

One loss dont mean sht. Anybody who is young and talented as Verdejo can come back. He needs to mature first. For some people it takes longer to mature but he still has time.

He even signed with TR so he wouldn't have any tough fights. And he still got KO'd.

TR ruins another career!

Verdejo is bish made bum and I am Puerto Rican. Got on that Canelo bicycle and got KTFO.

Wasnt he supposed to be training in California? Bet he regrets that now, better sparring over here.

Tank Davis, take notes! Devin Haney, take notes! Shakur Stevenson, take notes! Potential means nothing, if you don't put in that work!
