Weighing the results

• Xander Zayas 154 vs. Jorge Garcia 153
• Bruce Carrington 125 vs Mateus Heita 124.8

“This is a good duel in a style. Both warriors are fighting for their country. You have Xander Zayas. He is very sharp, hard and has a good insult. You have a garcia. He is uneven. He is right and a good blow,” said Chris Algeri to do it Boxing boxingPreview in the fight Xander Zayas vs. Jorge Garcia.

Xander will have to show more power than in his last fight for him to do well on Saturday evening against Garcia. Zayas showed against the little -known Slawa Spomer that many shots must land to get a knockout. He is able to do this against fighters carefully connected from the rejection stack, but he will not be able to do it now when it becomes at the world level.

Garcia: The Bushoted, proven threat

Jorge Garcia is a more proven warrior than Xander, because he defeated Charles Conwell and Kudratillo AbdukakHorova in the last two fights. He was not protected by his promoters as Zayas does. It can be said that it was developed as fighters should be, fighting high -quality opposition.

“I think these two warriors fit well because of their style. It will be a great fight. They may not be the biggest names, but there are many on the line,” said Algeri.

If the highest rank were ready to put Zayas with good opposition years ago, he would be a bigger name. Of course, this would require that he would overcome the highest names and it is doubtful that he did it. The way he was stuck by Patrick Theixeira. Since then, Xander has become more a runner and less willing to commit.

“We watched how it grows in who he is now,” said Algeri about Zayas. “He fights for his first world title in one of the deepest divisions in the world.”

Xander’s quick aging: Career questions

It is surprising how quick Zayas is trying. In one year he moved from youthful 21 to a much older warrior. The 22-year-old Xander could easily go for a 28- or 29-year-old. It looks like it is not 20 years elderly. It is not clear why it ages so quickly, but maybe he did the training burden. It becomes like in dogs instead of people from 2024. He can ultimately have a very low career. If you are the highest rank, you need to start pushing it faster to get the greatest course.
