Comments Thread For: Derry Mathews: I'd Love The Felix Verdejo Fight, I'm a Real Test!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Derry Mathews has thrown down the gauntlet to one of his division's rising stars. The Liverpool lightweight has been out of the ring since dropping a decision to WBO world champion Terry Flanagan in March but is preparing for his return. Mathews, 32, has a more-than-respectable ledger of 38-10-2 (20 KOs) and has talked about adding to that record, potentially against undefeated Puerto Rican prospect Felix Verdejo.

Another bum for Verdejo..... This has Juama's story written all over.

I want to see Verdejo fight Lundy! That will be a good fight for him. Tough, experience, quick, that will let us know where he is at at this time.

I like Felix, and I want to give him my 120% unconditional backing but until he fights someone of worth......I cant.

Look at my boy King Cotto, by now he was a World Champion and his resume at the time would have destroyed Verdejo's resume.

Verdejo vs Lundy make it happen!

how stupid can you be to compare a complete fighter like felix with multiple weapons to a brawler like juanma two different fighters different class felix will be more accomplished

[daggum]

At that time that "Brawler" was the next Puertorican superstar, and what happened?

Lo mismo le va a pasar a nuestro nuevo gallito. Tan pronto deje de pelear con vendedores de pinchos y le tiren a un boxeador de un nivel más alto, va a perder.

Aceptalo brother.... El tipo no es tan bueno como lo pintan.

Crolla influence, I said he was a role model. Matthews is ready to go to Puerto Rico for Verdejo, I wouldn't advise that much audacity. Just the same, I see a different attitude since Crolla pulled the rabbit out of the hat.
