Anyways now that I'm back home, my analysis on the MSG fights last night...

The crowd was live as fukk, Puerto Ricans everywhere hyped, made me feel like I was at a Trinidad fight :ohlawd: The was a group of Mexicans that got the beats from a couple Ricans :russ:

The fight itself was great. Alot of action. Verdejo put on a show. Everybody knew the could had talent. The only question mark was his chin and how he would do against a guy who actually was coming to try and win. And from what I've seen, his chin looked pretty good. The power of course was real, and cred to Najera. He took a beating, but kept on coming. If dude wasn't so tough, Felix would've gotten him outta there early.

I still have a couple things I saw from Verdejo that I'm concerned about ...

1) He needs to go to the body more. The power is great, but he does much head hunting. Sit him up down low, and he could've opened Najera up more and got him outta there.
2) He hurt his hand again, and it's reported that he needs surgery. I really hope he isn't plagued with hand problems throughout his career. That always makes me nervous
3) As well as he did, he was very hittable. A little too hittable. Everytime they exchanged, he was getting caught and countered with some shots. If he fights like that against more skilled fighters who are more heavy handed, he's getting hurt/dropped. He's still young though and still learning, so he can work on these things.

I went to take a piss during the break and the bathroom was crowded as fukk with everybody going crazy, screaming and cheering and banging in the stalls :mjlol:

Unfortunately, damn near everybody left after that and missed the Walters fight. Which i thought was a nice scrap. Everybody was booing and I don't know why :smh: Since everybody left I was able to sneak into the front and get better seats. fukking Jamaicans passing around the reefer, getting high in front of me :dead:

It's too bad Walters is leaving 126, because I definitely wanted to see him vs Walters. Now he's going up to 130 which is a dead ass division. Outside of Uchiyama and Gamboa, there's nobody else up there I'm really interested in seeing him face. Maybe Fortuna, but he's too wild and sloppy and will get slept if he fights Walters.

All in all, a great night of boxing in NYC :blessed:

Another Gold Medal
There is always Philly's own Bryant Jennings:

He is more deserving of stanning than Wilder.

Great weekend of fights :blessed:

#FelixFederation is definitely legit. Pretty much agree with the breh @King P That defense has to tighten up a bit. He got tagged a bit too much at times especially during the exchanges. Even then right now, he's a handful for anybody win or lose.

Walters is that dude as well. I think his defense could use some work too. It's one thing to get hit with your opponents small shots repeatedly (Like GGG does) it's another thing to constantly get hit with your opponents money shot (overhand rights) Other than that he's still a problem.

Wilder looked vulnerable (sometimes too vulnerable) but he responded well and got dude out of there. Wilder has now looked pretty decent against to C+ level guys in a row. Not bad. His form and technique seemed to improve, but once he got tired it faltered a lil. I can't front. I do want him to succeed. I still think Bryant is better overall though. fukk it, I want both to do big things

Perdaza looked good, but I think he should have gotten Kilmov outta there. Dude looked finished several times, but he could never get completely pushed off of the cliff.

Yeah Jennings skillset is still very raw and rudimentary and he was still extremely competitive in fact if Jennings had Wilder's power then he would have won against Wlad no doubt. I still think Wilder can beat Wlad but could possibly lose before getting to him though. Guys aren't as afraid to throw punches against Wilder as they are against Klit.
