#1 Xander Zayas I #2 Jorge Garcia Perez reached the fight for the fight for the free WBO Junior Medium Libra title. The location and date of the fight will be announced soon. The previous Master WBO, Sebastian Fund, decided to give up the 154-pound WBO belt after the sanctioning authority ordered him to start negotiations with the 22-year-old native Puerto Rican Zayas (21-0, 13 KO).

Un-trinity

It is not that the fund was afraid, as if the striking delicate of the Zayas fighter. He decided to fight better in the rematch with Tim Tisz on July 19 on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios. Zayas wanted the fund to have a premature situation with him after his last victory over Chordale Booker, but he did not choose it because he had no fight with him.

Xander looked stupid and desperate, coming to the wardrobe funds, trying to meet. If the fight happened, the fund would be a great favorite because Zayas has no picture. His only way to victories is to hit, move and gain in this order.

Zayas is not well known beyond the Up-to-date York Arena i His style is very uninteresting. It is the opposite of fighters from Puerto Rico Felix Trinidad and Miguel Cotto. It resembles Puerto Rican Shakur Stevenson, which is not good. He also has little Devin Haney. You may notice Haney’s style in Xander, which suggests that he could apply it and Shakur as his role models.

Perez (33-4, 26 KO) leaves the 12-round division of decisions Charles Conwell On April 19 at Oceanside, California. Nobody expected Perez, 6’0 ″, overcome the previously undefeated Conwell, but used a body attack and combination to defeat him.

Handy opportunity?

Zayas’ flaws

– no power
– frail chin
– Never tested: Zayas adapted the highest rank with only mediocre opposition
– not ready for elite competition
– blunt style

“Wakant WBO 154 pounds X.

Will six world champions of the Manny division “Pac Man” Pacquiao, at the age of 46, break the former heavyweight champion “BIG” George Foreman, who won the world championship title at the age of 45?

The current world champion of WBC WWETreight Mario “El Azteca” Barrios, 29-2-1, from San Antonio in Texas, negotiates the defense of the title against Pacquiao in June or July.

Barrios had his last defense in November 2024, ending with a divided draw with Abel Ramos, 28-6-2, at the AT&T stadium, Arlington, Texas. It was also the previous fight for Ramos. What seemed to be a rematch did not develop.

The last fight of Pacquiao took place in August 2021, losing to Yordenis Ugas, 26-4, in T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada. In September 2023, UGA lost to Barrios for the ephemeral title of WBC World Welter Wweight on T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, and Nevada.

Foreman, then 72-4, still has a record as the oldest to win the title of world champion at the age of 45, knocking out the world heavyweight champion IBF Michael “Double M” Moorer, 35-0, in MGM Grand, Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The only other boxer who won the title of world champion at the age of 40 or more was “Ruby” Bob Fitzsimmons at the age of 40. He defeated George Gardner, 38-4-3, over 20 rounds, at Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco in California.

Will “Pac Man” become the third, not only to win the title of world champion over 40, but the oldest at the age of 46?

Shakur Stevenson has published today in social media, revealing his career philosophy: “It’s a marathon; The longevity counts.“He talks about his career and why he decides to play safely, using a striking style. His post suggests that he focuses on a long career, not being hit, even if it means monotonous and indefinite.

You don’t have to watch

The style is poison for fans, and Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) is one of the most obligatory fighters in sport.

Stevenson’s comment on “longevity”, promoted by the match, means that he adopts a long approach to his career. To do this, it must reduce the risk to almost zero to avoid shots that could slowly exhaust it. Using his first security style applies to this philosophy.

Turks Alalshikh and his promoters already pay him millions. It does not matter that his fights are monotonous, constant and much less fascinating to watch than the fights of other fighters who are not paid as much as he did. He was paid despite his failure.

Shakur claims that he won three world division titles, which means he is a great warrior. But by throwing featherlight at warriors, which Shakur defeated to win belts, many of the 10 best fighters at 126, 130 and 135 could beat the warriors from whom he captured the titles.

Three-Division of Stevenson titles

– Edwin de los Santos – WBC Lightweight
– Jamel Herring – WBO Super Feather Wweight
– Oscar Valdez – WBC and Ring Super Feather Wweight
– Joet Gonzalez – WBO Feather Wweight

Starting?

Stevenson will defend his featherlight WBC title against William Zepedie on July 12 in Up-to-date York. Social media fans hope that Shakur will not run away from him in battle. However, one of Stevenson’s trainers said last week that he “takes off the round to protect his hands.” This is not what fans want to hear.

This means that Shakur will move a lot. Considering that this is an event that Edgar Berlanga vs. headline Hamzah Sheeraz will be shown on PPV, upset fans that Stevenson will move all night.

It’s a marathon, longevity is all critical
