Jorge Garcia plans to defeat Top Rank’s fighter Xander Zayas and the termination of the manufactured hype train For him and the vacant WBO junior middleweight title this Saturday, July 26, in the Madison Square Garden Theater. The event will be displayed on ESPN and ESPN+ at 9pm ET/6:00 pm pt.
Compared to some as a slightly shorter version of Sebastian fundoraThe long 6’0 ″ Jorge Garcia (33-4, 26 CO’s) will want to pull out his second consecutive dismay by beating the Puerto Rico-born Zayas (21-0, 13 food).
Zayas’ first real test
I don’t know if you can call it a dismay if Garcia wins, because the CV of Zayas is empty of names. He built his reputation on victories over sub-level opposition, the same kind of fighters that Edgar Berlanga beat when he was with the top tank.
The matchmakers for this business have a golden touch. That’s why it’s impossible to know who’s going to win Saturday’s battle because it’s Xander’s First true test of his career. He did not have the difficult path that Mexico-born Jorge Garcia had. He is through the top rankings.
Jorge Garcia: “I adapted to the successful mindset, and I worked hard with my team and my promoter,” Jorge Garcia said at Today’s Final press conferenceSaturday about his fight against Xander Zayas. “We decided that we would earn a world title in 2025, and now it’s around the corner.
“Of course I have to get through Xander, but we are ready and we have trained very well for this.”
Garcia looked excellent in his dismay of Charles Conwell, who dominated him in a 12-round decision. The scores looked very one -sided as the scores by the judges.
Xander Zayas: “Fight #22 at MSG is my moment to become a world champion. I talked to my family and said 2025 is my year,” Zayas says. “I am willing to do everything needed to conquer. It comes down to Saturday night to become a world champion and bring the glory to Puerto Rico. ‘
