Xander Zayas says he wants to fight WBC’s Interim Champion, Vergil Ortiz Jr., if he wins the defense of the title against Israil Madrimov on February 22.
#1 The contestant classified by Wbo Zayas (20-0, 12 kos) wants to fight against Vergil Jr. this year or 2026. Feel it would be sold, focusing on the angle of Mexico vs. Puerto Rico. It would be a great passage in class for Xander, 22, since he has not yet fought any world class opposition during his six years of his career.
A future champion?
Zayas has not shown any power and was injured in a couple of his fights against the second -level opposition he has faced. It could be one of those fighters who need to be protected all their career to prevent it from hitting himself repeatedly.
Xander fights against the little known Slawa Spomer (20-0, 11 kos) in a ten-round fight on February 14 at the Denys Berinchyk vs. beard. Keyshawn Davis in the Madison Square Garden in New York.
“It is very unidimensional, that is, it is a style. It is non -stop and a strong guy, but it is not very technical and not very good boxer. He is a good fighter but not so good in boxing and not the best skills of boxing, “said Xander Zayas According to On the former Middleweight champion of WBC, Serii Bohachuk. “He is very strong and he is a good pressure fighter.
“This is a struggle we received a call on the same day, on February 22, in Saudi Arabia. We accepted the struggle, but we also knew some other fighters, Madrimov, on the list,” Xander said On a fight against the temporary champion of 154 pounds of WBC, Vergil Ortiz Jr.
“For him, it was a business decision. It made more sense in his head, fighting against an old world champion (Madrimov). I’m not angry with the decision. I would have loved to take the fight and show talent in the world. But I think if he (Vergil Ortiz) comes out victorious on February 22, we can come true. If not, this year, next year.
The upper rank would come a great mistake by combining the fragile Chinese Zayas Xander with a murderer like Vergil Ortiz Jr. Xander has already been wounded to fight the minor opposition, and he has not been shown the resistance or punch to compete with a real talent like Ortiz JR.
The first rank leads to Zayas as they did with Edgar Berlanga, coinciding with him against a gentle opposition to make him a money maker for the New York area for selling tickets. Xander is not the next Miguel Cotto. You can put Zayas with talented fighters such as Vergil Jr., Madrimov, Serghii Bohachuk or Bakhram Murataliev and wait for it to win. He undoed and exposed, as Berlanga did when Canelo Alvarez dominated him.
“High risk, low reward”
“I think we are interested in this struggle. I think we will both sell this struggle very well for Puerto Rico and Mexico. I’m here in the United States. I feel like it is a high risk, a low reward, “Zayas said about how Vergil Jr. would have had less to win -fight against him than Madrimov.
Xander has mistaken. It would be a low risk, a low reward for Vergil Ortiz. It would be a Vergil mismatch that erased the cover with it, and the first rank would be miserable later. The malgasuladading of parties they made To make the chander.
If the idea is to make money in a single struggle, Ortiz Jr. vs. Xander is worth it, but it will not be competitive. There will be only one winner and this is Vergil. Zayas will run around the ring, trying not to be eliminated and will not be interesting for fans who like to see the action. It would be a Shakur-Esque struggle, because it is how Zayas fights.
