    We’re looking to see how Verdejo does in March in his comeback,” Arum said. “And if he does well, we would put Beltran in with Verdejo for the lightweight title. And then, maybe later on, if Beltran was successful maybe have him fight Lomachenko.”

    I almost forgot Verdejo even exists until I read this.

    I guess we might get Loma vs Linares after all.

    Verdejo is as rusty as an old car in a Pittsburgh alley in mid winter. Beltran should be able to box his head off.

    Nice addition to the Mexico-Puerto Rico rivalry.

    Its a 50/50 pick 'em fight, I lean Verdejo. But Beltran could pull the upset easily.
