Bob Arum Is Eager to His Fighter, Can Do This Saturday When He Battles Jorge Garcia For The Vacant Wbo Junior Middleweight Title at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Arum Says Zayas (21-0, 13 kos) is “Very Marketable” and A “Great Talent.”

“He’s A Terrific Kid. Very Articulate and Bilingual. So, He’s Very Marketable,“ Said Bob Arum to FighthypeTalking About Xander Zayas. “That Doesn’t Go Going To Be A Great Fighter. He’s Worked Hard at It, And He’s proved He’s Great Talent in The Ring.”
Zayas Hasn’t Proven That He’s A “Great Talent in The Ring.” That’s The Whole Problem. With the Opposition That Top Rank has been the shoveling Into The Ring, Zayas has beginned Nothing.
Boxing’s Next Puerto Rican Champion?
“Now, He’s Fighting for a World title. My Hope Is Saturday Night, He’ll Be Crowned As Yet Another Puerto Rican World Champion,” Said Arum About Xander.
The Opposition That Zayas has fought Thus Far hasn’t be my goodness to predict a favorable outcome for Him Against Jorge Garcia. We know that zayas is good enough to beat Lesser Fighters Like Damian Sosa, Slawa Spomer, and Patrick Teixeira.
“I Watched That Fight,” Said Arum When Asked About The Possibility of Zayas Middleweight Champion Fundo in A Unification Contest IF He Captures on the wbo title on Saturday Night. “Either Tszyu has lost something and was not His game, Or Fundo has turned into the Superman.”
It was a combination of Things That Led to Tszyu Losing to Fund to Second Time. That’s Not Arum’s Concern Now. He Should Keep Zayas Away From Funding He Would Likely Do The Same Thing to Him That Him That He Tszyu.
“Let’s win this Fight,” Said Arum About Xander’s Fight Against Garcia. “There are posisibilities (For Zayas).
Matching Zayas Against IBF and WBO MIDDLEWEIGH CHAMPION Janibek Alimkhanuly Would Be A Bad Idea. No Matter How Good Xander Looks on Saturday Night, Putting Him in Against Janibek Would Be A Foolish Idea. Zayas Isn’t That Type Of Talent. He’s a finesse-level Fighter From The Shakur Mold.
Matching Him Against A Power Puncher Like Janibek or Bakhram Murteriev Would Be A Disaster. He could Implode on Saturday, Going Up Against Jorge Garcia. IF That Happens, Top Rank Will Have Wasted All That Time Trying To Develop Him For The Last Six Years. IF to Had Taken The Training Wheels off Earlier, They Have Discovered Whether It was Worth It to Keep Him Around in The Stable.
“The Most Important Fight Is The Guy He’s Fighting On Saturday, which is Garcia, That He’s Got to Beat First,” Said Arum.
It Could Go Very Badly For Saturday on Zayas, With Him Getting Out Blown Out Garcia. That’s got to worm Arum because He doesn’t know how well well sha. He’s Matched Him Against Such Opposition Up Until Now That’s Entirely Impossible to Predict An Outcome In This Fight.
