Verdejo-Madera, and undercard bouts will be televised live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Verdejo (26-1, 16 KOs) is seeking his fourth consecutive win since a shocking 2018 TKO loss at the hands of Antonio Lozada Jr. Now based in Las Vegas under the tutelage of Salas, the 2012 Olympian is coming off an ESPN-televised decision win Jan. 18 over Manuel Rey Rojas. Madera (15-0-3, 8 KOs), from Albany, New York, impressed American fight fans with his nationally televised decision win over the previously undefeated Thomas Mattice in February 2019. He is 2-0-1 since the Mattice victory, including a second-round stoppage over Edgar Ramirez on Jan. 28.

This is a waaay better main event than Marriaga vs Yap.

Why didn't Verdejo ever rematch Lozada?

I disagree. Marriaga is a good fighter. He was solid against Walters, Valdez and Loma.

I was so happy parcero was getting a Chance to shine. Plus Marriaga is an exciting fighter. His fight would’ve guaranteed fireworks.

Verdejo is like watching a televised ********.

Naw

Marriaga Is very limited and have you seen Yap dude has like 20 losses lol it was a joke of a fight plain n simple.

Atleast Verdejo and Madeira are two young unproven but guys with skills not just face first brawlers like marriaga and yap.

Verdejo and Madeira are evenly matched too unlike the original main.

He should I think if he wins tonight he’ll try for the rematch.

But I would prefer Verdejo gets a new trainer Eddie Reynoso or nacho beristsian would do wonders for him.
