Xander Xayas was folded when his Attempts at diversion WBC and WBO middle weight champion, Sebastian Fundora, to get a confrontation with him a few moments after his victory against Chordale Booker (23-2, 11 KB) were refused on Saturday evening at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.
Classless displacement
It was a wrong game from Xander to try to initiate a confrontation before Fundora and his team had even signed a contract for a fight against him. It is presumptuous To get a movement like that.
Zayas (21-0, 13 KB) is the compulsory WBO 154 LB for the Fundora belt with this organization. The president of the WBO said this week that the winner of the Fundora-Booker Fight would have 120 days to defend himself against Zayas.
Fundora promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, says he will meet the team to discuss the options of their next fight. Zayas, 22, says that Fundora (22-1-1, 14 kos) has no choice but to fight it afterwards. If he does not do so, he must leave or he will be stripped.
Anyway, Zayas will fight for the WBO belt. If he is canceled, he combat the best classified competitor, which would be # 2 Charles Conwell. It would be a big step in class in class to Xander, who fought the opposition in the middle of the road all his six -year career.
Top Rank might not be happy to see Zayas thrown in the ring with a killer like Conwell because he is so much better than all the fighters that the Puerto Rican fighter fought. They could choose a veto at the idea that Zayas fights for the WBO belt if he has to go through Conwell to win it. It’s a bad game for a prospect like Zayas.
Zayas’ best victories
– SPOMER SLAWA
– Patrick Teixeira
– Damian Sosa
– Roberto Valenzuela Jr.
The only recognizable name that Xander fought is Teixeira, a 34 -year -old man who had a Record 3-3 enter his fight with him. Zayas didn’t even look good in this fight.
Complaints from Zayas
“There are a lot of things I can enjoy,” Xander Zayas told Fight Hub TV When he was asked how he could beat WBC and the WBO’s average junior weight champion, Sebastian Fundora, if he obtains the fight against him afterwards. “There are two guys that we are going to bring for the camp which is similar to its style, its size and its boxing style. So I know I’m going to be prepared for this night.
“I feel like I am next. If I’m not the next one, he [Fundora] must leave this title. If he wants to do that, it’s him, but I’m the next guy. I’m going to fight for the title, but I hope I can get my hands on the champion. “”
Depending on what Fundora does, Xander could be the next one. If it is not, he must obtain some experience against a world class opponent to prepare to fight for a title. If the novice Zayas does not want to fight Conwell, he can face Erickson Lubin. It would be a good option to get some experience.
Mexican VS Puerto Rican?
“It would make the most sense, but it would be a quick turnaround for him. I don’t know if he’s going to be willing to do this [fight on the Puerto Rican Day parade weekend on June 8th in New York City]. Certainly summer. This is what I aim for. This is what I plan to advance this fight.
“I am very convinced that the fight will happen. I have the impression that the two teams want this fight to happen. It will be Mexico against Puerto Rico [note: Fundora is only half Mexican and he was born in the U.S. The fans are going to love it. So, I feel it’s a fight that must happen. If it doesn’t happen, I’ll be fighting for the vacant title. Whoever that guy is, it doesn’t matter. [#2 WBO is Charles Conwell, a very dangerous fighter]. My mind right now is on Fundora. »»
