Xander Zayas’s adjustment claims: Why his holding and moving style won’t work against the top 154-pound champions

Xander Zayas says the other champions at 154 will have to “Fit” to what he does in the ring if he faces one or more of them in the future. Zayas (22-0, 13 Kos) won the vacant WBO Junior Middle Wight title last Saturday night and the number 2 selected Jorge Garcia (33-5, 26 COs) with a wide unanimous decision of 12 round in Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.

Hold and move tactics

Xander mentions that he can make ‘adjustments’ in every round to deny what his opponents are doing. However, he gives no examples of what he means. Against Garcia, he mostly ran and held on. There were no other adjustments he made. He did not have power and could not stand in the bag because he did not like to hit. Xander has two options to use.

“They will have to adjust. I can make adjustments round, quickly possible,” Xander Zayas told the media About what it would mean for the other champions to fight against him.

Zayas’ limited skill set

The champions do not have much to adjust. Zayas’ fighting style involves possess and move. Xander’s game is pretty simple. He has no power, and he fades after nine rounds. The use of excessive clinically and running will not work to defeat the 154 pound champions:

– Sebastian Fundora
– Bakhram Murtazaliev
– Vergil Ortiz Jr. WBC Intermediate
– Yoenis Tellez: WBA Intermediate

What the top rank should do is forget to put Zayas in any unification fights, and focus on focus on To make him milk his wbo belt as long as possible until Jaron ‘boots’ or Israil Madrimov becomes mandatory. Once this happens, the Top Rang Zayas can place in a unification fight in a payout situation against Fundora.

Unlike that, it doesn’t pay for Xander to fight one of the four champions now because he doesn’t have the talent to beat one of them. He is likely to be knocked out by all the belt containers at 154. You need to give the matchmakers of top rank for a limited fighter and turn him into a world champion.

If they matched Zayas against the wrong man, he would have been weeds. Yet they cannot protect him from the Sharks forever. He will be ordered to defend against someone like Jaron Ennis, and he will not win the battle. His 15 minutes fame will be over.

There is nothing in the game of Zayas that would prevent him from being taken apart and knocked out by all four champions at 154. He does not keep his way to victory against them as he did against the limited Jorge Garcia. In the first place, the WBO should never have arranged Garcia on #2. Even when he beat Charles Conwell, he looked like a basic fighter. It’s just that Conwell was even more limited than him.

“He was a difficult opponent, and he didn’t want to stop. I didn’t want to throw everything in the seventh round, knowing that I had six or seven rounds to go. It wouldn’t be smart, ‘Zander says about Garcia.

Zayas would have thrown out even faster if he emptied his guest tank in the seventh round and tried to achieve a knockout. He was exhausted through the ninth round, which is why he was forced to run and hold from the tenth round. Garcia’s pressure carried him.

Referee’s role in the hold

‘To stay patient, win around, and that’s what I did. Round nine came in. He put his head down more and stepped forward. We started grabbing him. Just don’t let him work inside. If we allowed him to work inside, it would have been a very different battle, and we just frustrated him.

Garcia was frustrated about the amount of capturing Zayas made in battle. The referee should have policed that if he was on his job because it was borderline fraud. If a fighter holds as much as Xander did, it is a form of fraud.

As he moves forward, Zayas will have to use other methods to win his battles, because he cannot depend on a referee who is criminal in their duties every time he fights. After fighting last Saturday, Xander’s opponents will practice paying him if he holds.
