    Well said! I would add boxing IQ to what is missing. Verdejo has a wicked jab, but does not understand how to use it.

      It's a shame really. I have always been a fan and attended a few of his fights. Some guys just never live up to the potential.

        BANZAI!!!
        Nakatani - Nagasaki "the atomic bomber" had way better stamina and chin. I would really not want to see him continue gets hit to much and is too brave. he should retire and get a couple of Geisha girls

            verdejo is super dangerous in the first half.
            can finish any top guy.

            i just think nakatani’s constant pressure made him crumble.
            his 1-2 is hard to deal with, comes in long, at different angles. he was landing at will on lopez too.

              Then why call him Chinese? You do realize Japanese do not like being called Chinese and vice versa? That would be like me calling you Puerto Rican. Hey Colombian, how is the weather this time of year in your country?

                Go fight someone else! Are you a social warrior?

                It's just a figure of speech and not meant to be offensive in the Latin world. Many posters know I am an American of Mexican decent.

                Hope Nakatani survives the orbital bone injury.

                  Good to know, thanks for the clarification.

                  Then was he just bs'ing with his career since he faded away for a min?
