Is you on the point Xander Zayas? Bob Arum’s “great talent” faces Jorge Garcia’s test

Bob Arum is looking forward to seeing what his fighter, Xander Zayas, can do this Saturday when fighting Jorge Garcia for the vacant Middle Weight Title of Wbo in the Madison Square Garden in New York City. Arum says Zayas (21-0, 13 kos) is “very marketed” and a “great talent”.

Zayas is ready for Garcia?

“He is a fantastic child. Very articulated and bilingual. Thus, he is very marketed,) said Bob Arum to FighthypeSpeaking of Xander Zayas. “This does not mean that he is a great fighter. He has worked hard and has shown that he has great talent in the ring.”

Zayas has not shown to be a “great talent in the ring”. This is the whole problem. With the opposition that the first rank has been reduced to the ring, Zayas has shown nothing.

The next champion Porto -Boxing Rits?

“Now, fight for a world title. My hope is that on Saturday night, he will be crowned as another world champion,” Rican, “said Arum on Xander.

The opposition that Zayas has struggled so far has not been good enough to predict a favorable result for him against Jorge Garcia. We know that Zayas is good enough to fight minor fighters like Damian Sosa, Slawa Spomer and Patrick Teixeira.

“I saw this struggle, Tszyu and Fundora,” Arum said when asked about the possibility that Zayas will fight against the WBC Junior Middleweight Champion Fundora in a unification contest if he captures Wbo title on Saturday night. “Tszyu has lost something and was not in his game, or Fundora has become Superman.”

It was a combination of things that caused Tszyu to lose Fundora for the second time. This is not Arum’s concern now. He should keep Zayas away from founder because he probably did the same as he did in Tszyu.

Janibek Matchup for Zayas?

“We first win this struggle,” Arum said about Xander’s struggle against Garcia. “There are several possibilities (for Zayas). I do not want to call anyone specifically, but there are many medium weights.

Janibek Alimkhanuly, who matches Zayas against Ibf and Wbo champion, would be a bad idea. No matter how good you have a score on Saturday night, against Janibek would be a foolish idea. Zayas is not this kind of talent. He is a finesse fighter of Shakur’s mold.

Starting with a punch of power like Janibek or Bakhram Murtazaliev would be a disaster. He was able to involve on Saturday, climbing against Jorge Garcia. If this happens, the upper rank will have lost all this time trying to develop it for the last six years. If they had removed their training wheels before, they would have discovered if it was worth keeping around the stable.

“The most important struggle is the guy who fights on Saturday, which is Garcia, who has to overcome first,” said Arum.

On Saturday, he could go very badly for Zayas, with Garcia that was exploited. This has to worry about because you do not know how good you will do a fool. It has coincided with such a weak opposition so far that it is completely impossible to predict a result in this struggle.
