There was a time when Felix Verdejo wouldn't speculate about nor discuss any fight other than the one in front of him. The new and improved version is confident enough to think bigger picture, one big enough to crown him as Puerto Rico's next superstar. Next up for San Juan's Verdejo (27-1, 17KOs) is a 10-round showdown versus Osaka, Japan's Masayoshi Nakatani (18-1, 12KOs), which takes place this weekend at The Bubble at MGM Grand in Las Vegas (Saturday, ESPN, 10:00 p.m. ET). A win for the 27-year old lightweight contender has him envisioning a shot at the division's highest honor, a crack at World lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez (16-0, 12KOs).
