Xander Zayas’ adjustment claim: Why does his retention and inspiring style not work against the top 154 pound champion?

Xander Zayas says the other 154-year-old champions have to “Adjust” When he faces one or more of them in the future, he is inside the ring. Zayas (22-0, 13 Kos) won the open WBO junior middleweight title last Saturday night, beating #2 rank Jorge Garcia (33-5, 26 KOs) with a 12-round unanimous decision at Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York City.

Hold the tactic and move

Xander says that “adjustment” can be made in every round to deny what his enemies are doing. But he does not provide an example of what he means. He was almost running and hugging Garcia. There were no other adjustments he was making. He was lacking in strength and he didn’t like to be hit, so he couldn’t stand in his pocket. Xander has two options to use:

“They need to adjust. I can make adjustments every round as quickly as possible,” Xander Zayas said. media About what means other champions have to fight him.

Zayas’ limited skill set

Champions don’t often adjust. It is related to Zayas’ fighting style. Hold and Move. Xander games are very easy. He has no strength and fades after nine rounds. Using excessive clinching and running will not work to defeat a 154 pound champion.

What Top Rank should do is forget to put Zaya in a unified battle and focus. Make him milk his WBO belt For as long as possible until Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis or Israil Madrimov becomes his mandatory. Once that happens, Top Rank can place Zaya in a unified battle in a cash-out situation against Fundra.

Other than that, Xander is no longer rewarded to fight any of the four champions now. He will probably be knocked out by all belt holders at 154.

If they had matched Zaya with the wrong man, he would have been weeded. Still, they cannot protect him from the sharks at 154 forever. He is ordered to protect against someone like Jaron Ennis, and he will not win the battle. His 15-minute fame is over.

There is nothing in the Zayas game that prevents him from being torn apart by all four champions in 154 and knocked out. WBO never ranked Garcia in #2 in the first place. Even when he defeated Charles Conwell, he looked like a basic fighter. That means Conwell was even more limited than he was.

“He was a tough opponent and he wasn’t going to quit. I wasn’t going to throw everything in the seventh round. I knew there were six or seven rounds. That wouldn’t be clever,” Xander said of Garcia.

Zayas would have gasped even faster if he had tried to empty his gas tank in the seventh round and score a knockout. He looked exhausted in the ninth round and was forced to run a non-stop from the 10th round. The pressure from Garcia worn him down.

The role of judges in retention

“Patied, won the round, that’s what I did. Round 9 came in. He started bowing his head and walking forward. We started grabbing him, we didn’t let him work inside.

Garcia was unhappy with the amount that Zaya held up what she did in the battle. The judge said, if he was in his job, it was Borderline fraud. When a fighter holds as much as the Xander, it is a form of cheating.

Zayas must use other methods to win the battle, as they cannot rely on judges who are in arrears of duties each time they fight. Additionally, after last Saturday’s fight, Xander’s opponent trains to get him to pay when he holds.
