Let's see if he stays one. Cuz them Puerto Rican prospects have been dropping like flies.
cause they haven't been coddled well past the 40 fight mark and have actually stepped up in competition ;)
Can't be coddled to 40-0 if the bums you're trying to pad your record against are beating you
that only happens if your name is Chavez and you're not a Jr. :)
Chavez had no problem beating bums. Apparently a lot of these Puerto Rican prospects do
Omar Chavez couldn't even get past the joke that is Paez Jr :-X, and Jr had plenty of gifts along the way including fights against Molina and Vanda, and although Molina is a good fighter, Vanda is just a loser from The Contender, but yea dunno what PR prospects you're even referring about, seeing how the current ones have either won world titles or are as of right now still contenders, we don't hash out any Panchito Bojado's sorry

Paez Jr. has a had a better career than Hector Camacho jr. He's never embarrassed himself or country by showing up fat, fighting 4 weight classes above his best, only to get stopped in 1. But Camacho Jr ain't alone in being a failure. It wasn't that long ago I was hearing Braulio Santos, Luis Orlando Del Valle, Jayson Velez, Cesar Seda, Miguel Soto, Jose A Gonzalez and Luis Cruz where fighters to watch. I watch them alright. Watch them lose. In Gonzalez case I saw him just quit. Than you have Abner Cotto, Gabriel Bracero, Jorge Maysonet Jr, Thomas Dulorme, Giovany Rodriguez, Carlos Velasquez, Kenny Galarza, Carlos Negron, damn I can keep going and going. None of them did shit. Roman Martinez is pretty much Puerto Rico's best current fighter. The same Roman Martinez who won his title by gift. And successfully defended it twice with gifts. Puerto Rico current boxing state is in the dumps. It's no good. The days of past glory are just that. Days in the past. It's not opinion. It's fact. You just need to accept it

VD hates the island, LOL, where's the love.
None of them are worthy of any. Can't fake and pretend there good just cuz of where there from. It don't work that way. It's not my fault they've all crashed and burn when they stepped up. I'll be lying if I said I didn't like the flyweight Jonathan Gonzalez. Cuz I do. But he's got a fight coming up in which I think he's in way over his head. Segura I think is gonna smoke him. And I don't see much in Pedraza, Fontanez or Verdejo. The one to watch I think is Jose Lopez. Wonder Boy. I like what is I see in him so far. He's only 19. Lets see how he turns out
Re: Just got back from the Cotto/Rodriguez presser
disregarding VD's usual anti-PR rant, rumors are buzzing that it might be Crawford vs. Gamboa on the undercard, should be an interesting fight

Way better fight than the main event, would be a treat if that's true. Crawford is very skilled and tricky, just not sure he can win a shootout with Gamboa assuming the latter guy doesn't lay an egg. This is the first chance to do something Gamboa will have had in several years, he needs to be up for this.

in terms of significance, yes this is a more meaningful fight, but IMO the main event should be fun to watch, I'm just glad that I'm gonna be watching it live and in person :)
