Verdejo back in action on October 31
Red hot lightweight contender Felix ‘El Diamante’ Verdejo (18-0, 13 KOs) will return to the squared circle on October 31 at the Exhibition Center Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida. The unbeaten Olympian will be defending his WBO Latino title against Brazilian Josenilson Dos Santos (27-3, 17 KOs) in a bout to be televised on UniMas. Verdejo is returning just three months after undergoing surgery on his left hand to repair an injury suffered in his June win against Ivan ‘Bam Bam’ Najera in New York City. Tickets, priced at $67 and $35, go on sale Sunday at 10AM at the the Silver Spurs Arena box office and Ticketmaster.
“I’m more than happy to come back here, where I have been treated so well,” said Verdejo. “I want Florida to be one of our places to fight, along with Puerto Rico and New York. I hope with the warmth my people give me that I’ll be able to give back all the love with a big win. Thank God my hand is better every day. And by the 31st it’ll be stronger than ever, so I’m dying to get back to being healthy and ready to continue give joy to my people.”

Exclusive: Sugar Ray Leonard says Floyd Mayweather not in all-time top ten, has to go for 50-0
All-time great Sugar Ray Leonard has told WBN that he believes Floyd Mayweather should try to break Rocky Marciano’s 49-0 record after equalling the feat against Andre Berto last month
Mayweather announced his intention to retire from the sport upon the completion of his lucrative Showtime contract, a decision that shocked many considering the sums of cash that can be generated from ‘Money’ fighting just one more time.
Leonard was also asked where he would place the self-styled ‘Best Ever’ on the back of his considerable achievements in the sport and ruled out naming Mayweather on a par with legends like Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson.
“Floyd has done great with his 49-0 and he has to come back for the 50th. It’s all set up for him to do so and I can’t see him finishing on 49-0 when the record is right in front of him,” Leonard exclusively told World Boxing News.
“I’m not sure he’d be top ten, but he will be remembered I’m sure about that. There are so many fighters like Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson and many others to choose from.
“Love him or hate him, you cannot deny what Floyd has done for boxing and I’m sure he will be missed as he was the top fighter out there,” he added.
A huge nine-figure check awaits Mayweather should he decide to fight for the 50th time as a professional as the major networks will be falling over themselves to snap up the pay-per-view rights to a comeback.

Tried to discredit Ray by saying how all of his best wins were disputable and shyt. Then ended it by saying "Oh and for the record, I fukks with Sugar Ray. He was Pacquiao before Pacquiao"

So, obviously, we see Victor Ortiz is gonna be on the Thurman/Porter undercard. I wonder if he will be thrown to Swift, Guerrero, or Spence....or will he be getting a tuneup instead
