Xander Zayas vs Patrick Teixeira - ESPN+ - Fight By Fight Thread

[paul77]

Xaya's power doesn't seem to have much impact once the quality of opposition is raised. Teixeira has eaten about a hundred clean right hands tonight. Xayas is going to be more of an accumulation puncher.

Could Xayas beat someone like Lubin or Brian Mendoza?

[MulaKO]

Teixeira’s shots have almost no effect whatsoever
Xander should keep going to the body
Patrick seems to not like the body shots

[BigZ44]

Those beatings Teixeira took from Castano and Kurbanov really took it out of him. He's only 33, way too young to look this shot.

Speaking of, where is Castano at? I hope he didn't decide to ride off into the sunset after those pay days against Charlo

[anonymous2.0]

I think Teix can make it to the final bell.

[Joseph]

Zayas needs to press Teixeira. He has nothing to throw back.

[MulaKO]

Beautiful foot work from the youngster

His instagram says he's looking for a comeback fight. We'll see.

[Brother Mouzone]

Zayas really starting to come into his own .

[ShoulderRoll]

You gotta be able to stop that version of Teixeira, in my opinion.

[paul77]

I don't see Xayas holding a world title, but he's still young.

We'll see how things unfold, I think it'll be a few years until they put him in that position.
