Compared to some as a slightly much shorter version of Sebastian Fundora , the high 6 0 ″ Jorge Garcia (33 – 4, 26 KOs), will be seeking to carry out his second successive distressed by defeating the Puerto Rico-born Zayas (21 -0, 13 KOs).

Zayas’ Very First Real Test

I don’t recognize if you can call it a distressed if Garcia wins since Zayas’ resume is vacant of names. He’s developed his track record on triumphes over sub-level opposition, the very same type of competitors that Edgar Berlanga defeated when he was with Leading Storage tank.

The matchmakers for this business have a gold touch. That’s why it’s impossible to know that will certainly win Saturday’s fight since this is Xander’s first true test of his occupation. He really did not have the hard road that the Mexico-born Jorge Garcia has actually had. He’s been babied by Leading Ranking.

Jorge Garcia: “I have actually adapted to that success mindset, and I have actually been working hard with my team and my marketer,” claimed Jorge Garcia at today’s last interview , speaking about his battle against Xander Zayas on Saturday. “We announced that in 2025, we would earn a globe title, and now it’s right here right around the corner.

“I have to clearly need to survive Xander, but we’re ready and we have actually educated actually well for this.”

Garcia looked superb in his trouble of Charles Conwell, controling him in a 12 -round split choice. Ball games looked a lot more one-sided than ball games kipped down by the courts.

Xander Zayas: “Fight # 22 at MSG is my moment to come to be a world champ. I talked with my family members and stated 2025 is my year,” claimed Zayas. “I’m prepared to do whatever it requires to appear victorious. It comes down to on Saturday night becoming a world champion and bringing magnificence to Puerto Rico.”
