Zayas’ Unearned # 1 Rank

• Damian Sosa: Another Obscure Fighter
• Patrick Teixeira: Journeyman
• Jorge Fortea: Another Unknown

Presumably, These Are The Win Based On Their Decision to Give Xander Zayas His # 1 Ranking at 154. How do you not look at That AS Favoritism Being Show? Where is the quality in that four-fighter group? Zayas Should Have Had To Beat Someone Like Israil Madrimov Or Erickson Lubin to Earn The # 1 ranking.

Fans Thought It Was Odd That The Flawed Jorge Garcia was elevated to the wbo and placed ahead of arguably Far More Talented Israil Madrimov, Erickson Lubin, and Serii Bohachuk in the rankings. They Disagreed That Garcia Should Have Moved To # 2, And They Equally Felt That Xander Zayas didn’t Belong At The # 1 Spot, Chen His Weak Resume.

Vergil Jr. Let Zander Know That He’s Proven More Than He has Has His Resume. Even Though He has ever won a World title, He’s Beaten Better Fighters Than Zayas.

“I’ve definitely proved more than you. I’ve Been Beaten Several Fighters Who’ve Become World Champions,” Said Ortiz Jr.

It’s Not Surprising That Ortiz Jr. Is Annoyed at Seeing Xander Getting Into A Perfect Position To Have a World Title Himed to Him A Silver Platter. How could zayas not succceed, given to heh vaulted to the # 1 ranking with the wbo and Faced A Weak Opponent for The Vacant 154-LB Belt?

The Wo Could Have Ranked Madrimov or Lubin at # 2. Instead, They Chose Jorge Garcia. As for the Fight Itself, Some Fans Felt Referee Took a casual approach to Zayas’ Constant Holding, which is Beyond Excessive. There Should Have Been Point Deductions.
