Wonder who they will get for him. Perhaps a Brad Solomon type, he can box but will ultimately get stretched when he gets touched clean. Ivan Golub may give him some rounds without being a threat of an upset.

Didn't Ivan Golub beat Eric Walker? Haven't seen him fight but I have seen Eric Walker guy can fight . Zayas being only 19 i feel like he's a year away from those fights.

If he wants to make a stamp on prospect of the year which I'm sure him and TopRank do he does have to step up a bit tho . I'd love him too fight Yuri Foreman or Devon Alexander both former champions are washed up but would probably be the hardest test for Zayas at this point in his career other then Jose luis Sanchez.

Doesn't hurt to get a name under his resume either.

I think Golub beat him on a Triller card over the summer. Maybe too steep at this stage. I didn't realize Foreman was still fighting, he's gotta be ancient by now. The Sanchez win is pretty impressive, hard to think of someone who is a step up from that level without being too much for him this early in his career.

Exactly what canelo did his first 40 fights. The kid is 19 with less than 10 fights.

Exactly! They did the same with Mike Tyson too! "The Bum of the Month Club!" That's the old school way! Fight 5-6 times a year for 2 years, then step up to Top 15-25, then Top 5-10, then a title fight!

Yeah he's in a difficult spot cause he's so good for his age that he needs the Eric Walker's/Golub of the world etc to actually have a challenge but at 19 you just can't risk him losing . Especially when there's so much room to grow and the kid is clearly willing to put in the work to achieve his potential . Hopefully we get someone slightly above Jose Luis on December then next year after he turns 20 he can start fighting those fringe contenders like Golub , Jorge Cota , James Metcalf etc
