Zayas vs Garcia Pérez preview

The two will fight for the recently stripped Wbo Wbo of the champion Sebastian Fundora. The World Box Organization had ordered him to defend the mandatory Zayas, but chose to fight Tim Tszyu in a more lucrative remittance. Understandably, Fundora chose to fight Tszyu for the biggest day instead of defending the 22-year-old Zayas.

Xander wanted the fight against Fundora. He had even tried to start a clash for advertising after Sebastian’s victory over Chordale Booker on March 22 at the Michelob Ultra Arena de Las Vegas. Fundora’s sister prevented her face. He obviously knew that Sebastian had other plans for the great remittance of money with Tszyu.

Jorge Garcia Perez (33-4, 26 kos) Bottom Style with its height, long arms and the loop shots that throw. It resembles a octopus inside the ring with the way they throw punches that are difficult to track for their opponents.

Garcia is an excellent body punch and is excellent inside. In his last struggle, he defeated Charles Conwell before undefeated by a 12 -round division decision on April 19. Throughout the night, Garcia Pérez put in Conwell and hit the body with triple hooks and quad-triple.

Zayas with fast tracking, without quality wins

#1 has been ranked Zayas (21-0, 13 kos) has been fast tracked For their promoters in the first position and they quickly moved to the top of the WBO ranking to 154 without exceeding any remarkable opposition during their six -year professional. They want to turn the Riquice Xander Puerto into a star on the east coast, such as Felix Trinitat and Miguel Cotto.

However, Zayas has no power, and his style of struggle is closer to that of Shakur Stevenson than of the two old stars. Zayas is a type of fighter and are not especially entertaining to see fans who like the action. The tracksuit style is the opposite of Trinitat and Cotto. It is more than a mix of Shakur, Devin Haney and Richardson Hitchins. The only difference is that Zayas is larger than these boys.

It will be almost impossible for the first rank to make Xayas a star, even in New York, because its style of struggle is ugly to see. It is a pure defense and weak and timely traits.
