Felix Verdejo

He fights on I think the undercard of Crawford Lundy on HBO, this guy looks the real deal. Saw him a few times now, meant to be the next big Puerto Rican star to take the mantle from Cotto. Fast and powerful, little bit of a more Cotto'd up version of Trinidad. Slightly less aggressive in spots, whereas Trinidad was more power ahead.

He's a lightweight and I reckon he looks better Luke Campbell at similarish stages of their careers.

He got smacked around by loma in the amateurs though

An 18 year old against one of the best amateurs ever.....shock that

Anyways he's a fantastic talent, perhaps the best in the whole of boxing......but he's had some injury problems already at the tender age of 22 so you have to keep an eye out for that

If he can stay injury free can't see why he won't go all the way to world level the kid has it all good skills on both the front and back foot, good punch selection, quick hands, power, footwork, technique he's got a good platform to build upon

Plus it's unlikely he'll meet Loma now, Loma went down to Feather, Verdejo is campaigning at lightweight
