Xander Zayas vs. Jorge Garcia Pérez: Battle for WBO Junior Vacant Title

The number 1 Xander Zayas and the number 2 Jorge Garcia Pérez have reached an agreement to fight for the WBO vacant half weight title. The location and date of the fight will be announced soon. The previous WBO champion, Sebastian Fundora, chose to give up the 154 LB Wbo belt after the sanctioning body ordered him to start negotiating with the 22-year-old Native Porto-Rican (21-0, 13 kos).

The Trinity

It is not that Fundora was afraid of the defensive fighter Zayas. He chose to fight better in a resale with Tim Tszyu on July 19 on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios. Zayas wanted Fundora to make a premature confrontation with him after her recent victory over Chordale Booker, but she chose not because she did not plan to fight her.

Xander seemed a nonsense and desperate, reaching the founder of Fundora, trying to get a face. If the struggle had passed, founder would have been a great favorite because Zayas has no offense. His only way to win fights is to hit, move and achieve this order.

Zayas is not known outside the New York arena and His style is very boring. It is the opposite of the fellow fighters Porto -riucan Felix Trinitat and Miguel Cotto. It’s more like a Shakur Stevenson Porto -Rican, which is not good. He also has a little Devin Haney. You can detect Haney’s style in Xander, which suggests that he may have used it and Shakur as role models.

Pérez (33-4, 26 kos) comes to a 12-round division decision Charles Conwell On April 19 in Oceanside, California. No one expected that Perez, of 6’0, “would defeat the Conwell before undefeated, but he used his body attack and the combination puncturing to obtain the best of him.

Hasted Opportunity?
