Zayas rates his performance ‘n’ B+’after a defective victory against Jorge Garcia

Xander Zayas says he gives himself a ‘B+’ after defeating Jorge Garcia with a unanimous 12-round decision to claim the vacant WBO Junior Middleweight title on Saturday night in the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.

Xander Zayas’ self -degree: B+

Even with Zayas (22-0, 13 COs) who were regularly going on and held regularly, he was still hit by many Garcia (33-5, 26 COs) shots that made it impossible to rate his actions as a B+. There is no doubt that Xander earned victory, but he did not look like the world champion material. The judges achieved it 116-112, 118-110 and 119-109.

“I give it a b+,” Xander Zayas says at the Press conference after battle When asked to rate his actions against Jorge Garcia. “I will keep winning and bring glory to Puerto Rico. Some of these guys can make a punch. I keep hitting them, and I’m like ‘go down’. ‘

The performance was at a lower-C-level. Zayes moved and kept too much to judge his actions as a B+. He basically says he gave an A-level performance, and that’s not what fans say. Zander held too much and moved to a high B.

‘In general, I will continue to get better. My strength will keep getting better. My technique will keep getting better, ‘says Zayas.

Zayas’ unchanging fighting style

It is very doubtful that Zayas will do that ‘Get better,’ Because he has fought with the same style since he became pro in 2019. He goes out of his way not to be beaten by running and embracing. That mindset will not change. If he could change that, he would have already.

The lack of power of Zayas will hold him back just as much as his reluctance to be hit. He can’t punch. By the time a fighter is 22, it is noticeable whether they will be a puncher. If it is not there at 22, it will never do.

“I might sleep with this (WBO 154-pound title). This is my baby. I worked hard for this. Six years as a professional, and the Hard work has finally paid off. I told everyone I was made for this. That it was my moment, and we made it happen. Not only me. My whole team pushed me to the highest level, and I was ready for everything Jorge Garcia could bring tonight, ”Zayas said.

Xander did no hard work. Those who did the hard work were the promoters of Zayas on the top rank. These are the ones who have turned Xander around and choose opposition.

Xander’s last five opponents

1. Slava spice
2. Damian Sosa
3. Patrick Teixeira

5. Roberto Valenzuela jr

The WBO’s decision to arrange Jorge Garcia on #2 rather than the more formidable Israil Madrimov, Erickson Lubin, Serhii Bohachuk and Jaron Ennis. They arranged Garcia above the fighters, which is a bizarre move and is difficult to understand. If they had selected Madrimov or Boots on #2, Zayas would never have won the WBO title. He would have been wiped out.
