Verdejo vs William Silva. Unbeaten Brazilian beanpole. Seen him on the undercard when viloria had a tune up in hollywood last year. verdejo should murderlize this kelson pinto redux
Yeah, as SOON as I heard he was Brazilian, Cotto-Pinto IMMEDIATELY popped in my head. People forget now, but the Pinto fight was basically Cotto's coming out party (no pun intended ).
Kelson Pinto was supposed to fight Hatton before that Cotto fight but Pinto had visa problems and couldn't get into England. He was replaced by a lightweight Danish guy (Pederson?) at the last minute and Hatton ended up getting the stoppage. Pinto went on to fight Cotto.
The little I've seen of Silva doesn't impress me. Eh. Was hoping for more of a step up but we shall see. Hopefully he gives Verdejo some rounds.
