This past Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Verdejo had to overcome some difficulties and a cut below his left eye to win a ten rounds unanimous decision.

He just isn't very good. Surely Arum is seeking his next Puerto Rican star cuz he knows this clown isn't it.

Feed him to Lopez.

Kid needs a new trainer/team. He's got good power in the right hand but was throwing mostly single shots rarely threw a decent combination. He also doesn't know what to do when being pressured.

From what I saw it wasn't a matter of him not listening. His corner wasn't telling him anything other than "to pick it up & fight harder".

He's got the fundamentals down but he's gonna have to add something to his game or else he's food for pretty much anyone that can take his punch.

Don't know the reason he's not developing - as Loma said, he had some decent skills in the amateurs, it just looks like he's boxing-by-numbers and can't see him standing up to anything even close to elite. Might be something mental where he's just not that much into boxing and isn't putting his soul into it like some others. For sure, a radical change of some description, else he's just going to be fodder for someone like Teo.

Bob might feed him to Loma if Loma needs a stay-busy fight, otherwise no way he gets a title shot.

Marques is single handly responsible for ruining all of the PR prospects..he himself is a bust, his fighter is an extension of him

Yeah I can't really tell what it is. A few years ago he looked really
promising and was pretty sharp for a prospect. right before and right after that motorcycle accident he started to plateau and now seems to be regressing. I think there's still hope for him he's young and appears to be teachable.

Bob should throw some money behind him & send him to Roach or somebody. But I suspect Bob will just keep feeding him light touches until Lopez or Loma need a tune-up or he'll somehow magically become their mando and get waxed badly
