Xander Zayas says that he wants to against the current junior in the middle weight of WBC Jr.
The candidate of #1 WBO-Rang Zayas (20-0, 12 Kos) wants to fight against Vergil Jr. this year or in 2026. He believes that it would sell and focus on the angle of Mexico against Puerto Rico. For Xander (22) it would be a big step in the class because he has not yet fought a world -class opposition during his six -year professional career.
A future champion?
Zayas has not shown any clout and was already injured in some of his fights against the second opposition with which he was confronted. He could be one of these fighters who have to be protected his entire career to prevent him from being beaten repeatedly.
On February 14, Xander fights on the sub-card from Denys Berinchyk against Keyshawn Davis at Madison Square Garden in New York in a 10-round fight on February 14th, little-known Slawa Spomer (20-0, 11 Kos).
“He is very one -dimensional, which means that he is a style. He is continuous and a strong guy, but not very technical and not very good boxer. He is a good fighter, but not so good in boxing and not the best boxing skills, ”said Xander Zayas SecondSout About the former WBC Interim Junior Middleweight Champion Serhii Bohachuk. “He is very strong and a good pressure fighter.
“This is a struggle that we received on the same day, February 22nd, in Saudi Arabia. We accepted the fight, but we also knew that there were some other fighters, Madrimov, on the list, ”Xander said about a fight against WBC Interim 154 pound champion Vergil Ortiz Jr.
“It was a business decision for him. It made more sense in his head and fought against a former world champion (Madrimov). I’m not angry with the decision. I would have learned the fight and showed by talent for the world. But I have the feeling that if he (Vergil Ortiz) comes out as the winner on February 22nd, we can make it. If not this year, next year.
Top-rank would make a big mistake that summarizes the fragile boiling Xander Zayas with a killer puncher like Vergil Orander Jr. Xander, has already injured to combat a lower opposition, and he has no power or blow against a True talent like Ortiz Jr. shown.
The top rank brings Zayas with it, as you did with Edgar Berlanga, and fits him against gentle opposition to make him a money earner for the New York region to sell tickets. Xander is not the next Miguel Cotto. You can use Zayas with talented fighters such as Virgil Jr., Madrimov, Serghii Bohachuk or Bakhram Murataliev and expect him to win. He would fall apart and expose, just like Berlanga, when Canelo Alvarez dominated him.
“High risk, low reward”
“I think we are both interested in this fight. I think we will sell this fight for Puerto Rico and Mexico very well. I am here in the United States. I have the feeling that it is a high risk, a low reward, ”said Zayas about how Vergil Jr. would have had less to fight him than Madrimov.
Xander misunderstood it. It would be a little risk, a low reward for Virgil Ortiz. It would be a mismatch with Virgil who wipes the deck with him, and the top rank would be unhappy afterwards. The wasted matchmaking you made Make Xander.
If the idea is to make money in a unique fight, Ortiz Jr. against Xander is worthwhile, but it will not be competitive. There will be only one winner and that is Virgil. Zayas will run around the ring and try not to be expelled and will not be interesting for fans who like to see action. It would be a creative kind of fight because this is how Zayas fights.
