Just to remind all of the boxing pundits, and fans in general what all of the hoopla was about, Xander Zayas needs to get back on his knockout streak.
He should start that knockout streak with Roberto Valenzuela JR., and I do mean a spectacular knockout.
Fighting boxers who are who are more fluid boxers should also be incorporated into his his opponents in order to get him accustomed to fighting all different styles of fighters.
This guy can definitely be one of the next champions out of Puerto Rico, and I think that he's going to make it happen.
He's not as exciting as Tito, Cotto, or Gomez were, but he's working on it, good luck young blood, you've got some big shoe's to fill.
