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

[BigZ44]

100-90 Zayas on my card, got 10 solid rounds in against a southpaw but also showed that he isn't ready for the guys at the top yet, need to continue to build him one step at a time. I'd really like to see him against Carlos Ocampo in the Fall, I think that is the perfect next opponent for him, then you can start looking at eliminator type fights

21yrs old and got 10 rounds in with a solid veteran, id say its a net positive.

Teixeira needs to hang 'em up. That wasn't the same guy who beat Adames.

2 out of 3 of Puerto Rico's boxers have won, Matias vs Paro is next next week. Would be awesome if he also won.

Zayas could have pressed things a bit more, but hats off to Teixeira for still being a slippery bastard.

Subriel Matias is the best PR fighter right now and guy they should be featuring in Madison Square Garden to be honest.

No clue what the plan is for Zayas , but I imagine a Mielnicki fight is on the horizon within a year or so, maybe a fight with fellow PR in NY Ceballo or a vet like Vlad Hernandez who’s coming off a big win. Old man Trout is still out there lingering for a fight., lol

Tex should consider hanging em up, but I could see him trying his hand at 160 since his last 3 fights were there & above

Zayas had no idea what to do against a southpaw. He should have faced a few before he got to this point in this career.

Nice shout out for Patrick Texeira from Xander Zayas.

Lubin, Kelly, and Vito mentioned. Wouldn’t mind any of the three. Vito fight should just be made & get out the way, he fought a month ago so lines up well, but imagine theyll let Vito get a TR debut and probably fight on a card together at least to promote it up
