as a boxing fan i am always on the lookout for the next upcoming champion.

In felix verdejo i not only see the maturety and style but he is from Puerto Rico who are in desperate need of a new young champion as Cotto nears the end. felix verdejo is also very engaging, like tito he is very articulate has a nice smile and has an easy to like persona.

One thing i cannot work out is why most of the boxing media including boxing shows do not give the young man air time, i feel over the past several years and with the explosion of the social media many of these so called media are too busy hyping the stars they forget about the prospects. the last night felix verdejo fought it was one of the best compete performances of the night, OK he was supposed to win but it was the manor in how he got the victory.
